I wouldn't say it's flying. Gone up about 4p. Edit - 7p now.

Article on the rise of fake PL kits: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g9zwwwxqzo My conclusion..... clubs are taking the piss and everybody knows it. The absolute nonsense excuses those two women in that article have come up with to try and discourage people is laughable - "Fake kits might give you a rash. We don't know what's in them." Lol yeah right. Even the bloke who used to work at Nike and Umbro says it only costs £10 to make a kit. The rest is pure profit, mainly for the kit brands. So anything above £40 really is taking the mickey out of fans. Especially these Pro Kits that go for over £100 nowadays. I bought a fake kit for £15 this year (short-sleeved GK jersey) to see if there's a noticeable difference and there isn't. It's pretty much identical.

Newey must be mad. 66 years old and has more money than he probably knows what to do with. Just retire and enjoy yourself mate.

Latina Posh Spice.

Probably cheaper at a local fishing shop.

Since when has it ever been called anything but "knock & run"?

How do people in the US live in a loft? Do you feck mate, it's just a massive room with more than one level. Sounds shit actually now you mention it.

Evens is a poor bet IMO. All it takes is one below par performance in the later rounds. And Humphries/Price are more than capable of beating him in a final. I'd be laying it at that price personally.

It's all reality and talent shite.

Just felt like not a lot happened to move the plot forward. She tested an idea and ultimately failed. That was it. The only other interesting thing was the South American (I think) bloke. And even that was dragged out and told us very little we didn't already know.

I thought it was the slowest one of the lot.

Looks like Ipswich used the same architect....

That wouldn't be good at all. All it would do is cause even more resentment from those that go out to work all day subsidizing the lazy dossers out there. However, if you mean people only on certain benefits like the higher thresholds of PIP disability, those that can't work for genuine mental health reasons, or certain means tested pensioners, then maybe I'd be on board.

All while they siphoned millions of public money to their mates businesses that never ultinately did anything. Utter ***** all of them. Those that essentially stole money like that should be in jail not just a public inquiry.

Looks like it's been designed by Fred Dibnah.

I bought a jar of apple cider vinegar a few months ago. That tastes bloody awful too and not touched it since.

I've had left over cold Yorkies with jam on with a cuppa, as they're just pastry essentially.

Yeah that's just weird.

For the last two Tuesday nights when I play in my local snooker league, my club has been playing Christmas songs all night. It's ****ing November!

This is worth doing IMO. I've just donated a small amount. https://givebutter.com/naroditsky Charlotte Chess Centre and his family are setting up a Daniel Naroditsky Memorial Fund to have an annual ove-the-board blitz and rapid tournament, plus a scholarship program. All donors become Founding Donors, permanently recognized on the digital donor wall on the Charlotte Chess Center Foundation's website. Pawn Circle (Under $250) * Name on digital donor wall * Digital Founding Donor certificate The Naroditsky Memorial Blitz & Rapid Championship An annual over-the-board tournament to be held over-the-board in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event aims to attract the world’s top players, including those ranked within the top ten globally, while also welcoming hundreds (even thousands!) of amateur participants. Daniel often spoke about his wish to see more over-the-board blitz and rapid events. This tournament will bring that vision to life, and stand as a celebration of the type of chess he loved most. The Charlotte Chess Center will oversee all aspects of the event, including invitations, organization, and logistics, ensuring it becomes a highlight on the international chess calendar. The Naroditsky Fellowship A scholarship program supporting talented young chess players pursuing excellence at the highest level. Daniel deeply valued students who were serious about reaching their full potential, and took pride in guiding them on that path. The Fellowship will reflect those values by providing financial support, resources, and opportunities to high-achieving students who aspire to play chess professionally. It will focus on talented players in Charlotte, as well as other promising students across the United States. Every dollar raised during this initial campaign will go directly toward this endowment. Once this founding period concludes, the opportunity to become an original contributing founder of the Naroditsky Memorial and Fellowship will be gone.

The crash is inevitable. History has shown it happens every decade. The current share prices, property prices, inflation rates, etc are just completely unsustainable and are key indicators before most crashes. Most people's guess is sometime next year or at the latest 18 months. Impossible to predict when though. I'm comfortable enough financially at the minute to plan on getting out conpletely by the end of the year and then just wait until it happens. Doesn't matter if I miss out on some gains for 12 months as I've already made more in the last 2 or 3 years than I'd lose out on. Then I have a portfolio prepared to hopefully take advantage of the inevitable lower prices. Mostly ETFs and ISAs. Of course you can just leave your money in long term and it'll all recover again eventually. But the rich generally get richer using recessions, and more millionaires are made after crashes than any other time.

Is it gonna bring all the boys to the yard though?

Wait until the big crash within the next 18 months then buy BME. Staples always perform well even in a hard recessions.

Unfortunately for some cultures, religious war is a way of life.
