Old school player, not like the overacting pansies we see nowadays.

....and overpaid.

£300,000 a week for  kicking a ball around on a piece of muddy grass seems excessive. ::)

Ah well. :-\
The grass isn't even muddy nowadays  ;)
It's not even grass :D

They say the grass is greener on the other side.  We'll all find out if that's true in due course.  :)

As Jimmy points out, it's very unlikely that his lease company pays the same rates at Kwik Fit as poor old put upon Joe Public.  ::)

The fencers who came yesterday morning and took down my side gate and 6ft panel down the side of my house which was knackered. Then the delivery of the new stuff was late so he said he'd go and have look at another job and come back and finish after lunch.

The new stuff came, and then the fencer phoned and said he'd now be coming back in the morning at 7.30am. It was absolutely lashing down at 7.30am and he didn't come which wasn't surprising, but haven't seen him yet and he's not answering my calls FFS.  >:(

British builders, backbone of the country. >:D

How to become a builder?

F*uck about at school and leave with no qualifications. Then buy a knackered flatbed and you suddenly become an expert in roofing, guttering, tree cutting, drains, fencing, driveway cleaning and laying. :)
I think you're confusing builders with happygolikeys :-\

Presumably if they want paying, they'll turn up.

He'll be back as he's left some tools and things in my garage.  ::)

I'd have done it myself, but I wanted it done in a day as I didn't want the side of my house left open for all and sundry to look into or wander in.  Sigh...  :(

Effing freezer packed up overnight - contents ruined.
Ours is covered on the home insurance, but with an excess of £250 I'd have to have an awful lot of food in there to make it pay ;D

£500 excess, so no chance of a claim.
Unless it's full of Wagu steaks:)

I would like to try one to see if it is worth the hype, and the money.

I think Lidl have them form time to time.  :)

So it seems that Rach from Complaints might be on a sticky wicket, as it appears that she told a few porkies about the state of the nations finances to justify her tax and spend budget.  ::)

Let's see if the media go into hysteria mode to get her to resign, like they would if a Tory Chancellor lied to Parliament and the country?  ???

We keep a few grand in ISAs as an emergency fund instant access if we need it,  the rest is all in premium bonds had them since 2021 and no word of a lie we've won a few quid every month since we've had them,  don't know anything about stocks & shares and certainly at this stage in our lives don't see the point.
You don't need to know anything about stocks and shares, Mick. You just hand over your dosh to a fund manager and they invest it for you, according to chosen risk level. Then they take a cut every year now matter how the fund performs.  ::)


That would mean putting trust in somebody with our cash , what could possibly go wrong ?

That's what we thought about 30 yrs ago ..... the name of the advisor should have been a clue .... he was called Grantham Fidler!
Grantham? Was he from Lincolnsausageshire? Could have been a young Opti, always wondered about him.

I thought Lord Opti was always young.  Like Peter Pan!  :)

Or is that Pinocchio?  :-\                                    ;D

Not enough for defence. 2.6 % GDP so a soft budget. You got off lightly.

Weren”t NATO members supposed to up spending to a target of 5%, as per Trumpy?


( buy shares in drone building companies)
We can't spend money on defence and take 500,000 children out of poverty. The wánker Starmer was getting all emotional about these children on the news at lunchtime. Playing to his back benchers again.
Call me old fashioned, but if you can't afford more than 2 snotty kids without the taxpayer funding your little bastids, don't have more than 2.

Simples*


*Useless you are Starmer.

There's a cohort of voters that can have more than one wife and hoards of kids between them all, that Starmer and the Labour party are desperate to keep on side.  :-X

Joan Branson. 80.
Poor woman had to put up with that prick for 50 years. It would have been fairer if she outlived him and had some time on her own.  ::)

I've always thought he has more than a few skeletons in his closet, and I expect she's taken quite a few secrets to the grave.  :-X

When he did the Piers Morgan life story thing, she sat stony faced throughout.  ???  ::)

I think our Lord should get rid of that dirty old boiler, replace it with an Air Source Heat Pump and save the planet!  :)

Not while I still have breath in my body..... >:D

They don't seem to work very well from what I hear.

Until Mrs Opti decides that you need to save the planet a bit more.   >:D

Then you'll be here telling us how fantastic it is, we really don't need to heat our houses to 68 degrees F and you didn't realise that 52 degrees F can be quite comfortable when you're wearing half a dozen jumpers!  ;D

I have no idea what these figures mean. My puny brain only works in Fahrenheit.

Cars set to 70 degrees in old money. :)

Dinosaur!  ;D

Anyway I've fixed it for you.  :y
