It’s simple this Being British means you exist within a system that allows you to earn a limitless amount of money. I don’t begrudge anyone earning a fortune, in fact I would say it’s great. But to then get all upset when that same system takes its share for allowing you to do it in the first place means you are a massive sweaty fucking cunt. By all means fuck off abroad, but don’t expect any sympathy because the system you used has mechanisms that allow it to take a fair repayment.

He has had an absolute fucking shocker hasn't he 😂 😂 And yet "us racists are thickos" 😂

'our women'...not...'are women'.....you thicko racist ironic bastard 😘

Correct. Blackpool in the Lever End? 🤣 They hardly ever turned up in any numbers in their own end, never mind the Lever End.

Chelsea were the first to take it and Colin Ward’s book ‘Steaming In’ describes it exactly as it unfolded. Utd took it the following season, there were fucking millions of the cunts. That was it, just them two. Leicester and Boro both had a proper go but ended up coming unstuck.

Lever End wasn’t taken by them. @bolty58 has a great story from that day. The clockwork orange guys were actually Arsenal fans who lived in Bedford but joined Luton for the day. I was with about 5/6 of my mates at the top of the car park when they came down Manny Rd and these guys were at the front of a mob about 50 strong so we kindly moved out of the way. They piled into the Lever End but lasted about 15 minutes before they got scattered all over the place. There weren’t countless darts thrown, that’s a myth. But, fair play to ‘em, we hadn’t seen anything like it before. Anyway following week we had a midweek away game at York and Boots makeup section got raided by guys eager to wear eyeliner and war paint (lipstick) 🙄. In the away cup game two years ago I got talking in the pub to one of the Luton lads who got chased out of the Lever End that day. He remembered it well.

Shit had lost track of the days, did not realise is Friday and things go weird on here on Fridays. Good Luck Everyone. Seems someone has started early.

This Danny Tommo? "Now claiming to be a born-again Christian (funny how fashionable that is becoming in the Tommy Robinson world) Tommo is in fact a criminal lowlife who was jailed for two years in 2015 for an attempted kidnap in a dispute over stolen drugs. When Tommy Robinson was in Telford campaigning against grooming gangs, Tommo was accused by the father of a grooming gang survivor of plying his daughter with drink and drugs trying to get her into bed." Can the prick stay in France?

My brother does that as well as teaching. Loves it. Public speaking is an art form and skill in itself. I honestly could not think of anything worse. I get anxious if there's 3 people in the butty shop and they'll hear me order

My mum clung on to working and so did my Dad. My Mum died within in the first year of retirement and they never got to spend any proper time together. They'd sold their Static and were planning to go on holidays half the year. Those extra few years on the graft deffo spazzed my dad's back up. Don't leave it too late folks. No point building your pension up if you can't spend the fucker.

Beginning to think there are hordes who do nothing other than scour the internet for anything mentioning the word 'Trump'. noun. Slang word for the passing of wind.

Cheese, unsurprisingly, has had one of the worst mares on here for a long while. He’s truly highlighted what a complete simpleton he is.

Tomorrow I'm going to Pembroke Christmas Market/Fair. Lots of nice food, drinks and gifts will be on sale within the castle walls. Problem is most will be claimed to be HOMEMADE. @Cheese should I dispute this? Maybe ask the cake sellers if the flour they're using was cleaned, grinded down and and sifted by themselves. Do those selling meat items do all the butchering 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe ask the beers sellers if they produced their own glass bottles. Did they use a highly automated melting and molding process using raw materials like silica sand, soda ash, and limestone in their garage. It cant be homemade can it mate?

I was impressed when you went from the Reebok to the DW on the same day This is next level

I can imagine

the only thing I respect (am envious about) Elon Musk for is that he's had a go on Grimes as I reckon it'd involve some proper next level freaky shit on her part

And now you've seen it do you accept there is such a thing as self made billionaires? Or are you sticking with your more nuanced made up definition?

What he'd give us, if we can find the right way to utilise him, is the sort of clinical finishing we could well do with in the latter half of the season. If he's to go anywhere we'd be as strong as candidate as any. Macauley Langstaff also being touted about in the media, another worth considering but I'd sooner have Hardie. Back in L1 he'd add the goals that'd help take us up

it started when you said "There is no such thing as a "self-made billionaire"" and then continued on to the idea that the dictionary definition of "self-made" used by folk is incorrect and any one who does use it is a thicko

after pressure from the UK? be good if they did it after we sent them hundreds of millions

It’s not about bitterness or jealousy mate. More about equality & a fair tax system. UK income inequality is among the highest in the developed world. There’s more & more evidence that a rise wealth inequality is bad for our society & economy. A few people making enormous profits isn’t trickling down or helping our economy grow. Fair play to them, but they couldn’t possibly spend all that money, so why not reinvest more of it into our services? “People in more equal societies live longer, have better mental health and have better chances for a good education regardless of their background. Community life is stronger where the income gap is narrower, children do better at school and they are less likely to become teenage parents. When inequality is reduced people trust each other more, there is less violence and rates of imprisonment are lower.” (Based on research from the Equality Trust)

I retired aged 60 about 18 months ago, i enjoyed the work and worked with some great people and I'd been in that job 20 years. Now how often do you hear throughout your life that a couple of bad apples spoil the whole barrel? SO true and thinking back i cut my nose off to spite my face but that pension is now in my pocket. Its not a fortune and i wouldn't be able to last forever on it but its mine. Wife still works , I've got another little pension still to activate, wife has hers and her auld fella is still living so theres his assets to have as well, think we'll be ok. But yeah its great in the summer but boring in the winter, OH!!! Yes it would be very very easy to start drinking all day every day and i can fully understand how a lot of older people are permanently on it.

I retired in April aged 62. It was hard at first as your body and brain is set up to a routine and it took a few weeks to change that. We’ve had 3 decent holidays this year as a treat to ourselves after both working hard for over 40 years and will be planning more next year. I initially missed the interaction with groups of people I met and trained every day, I was a contractor for the NHS training doctors and nurses, but didn’t miss the early starts and occasional weekends. I now get to spend more time with SWMBO and to visit places we always said we would. Happy to have retired at what some would say is an early age but I keep active both physically and mentally.

In your rush to sound superior you have confused 80’s Glaswegian jangle guitar indie pioneers The Pastels with who we are discussing Pastel. The Ticketmaster tiered pricing excuse should have only been accepted by the CMA if the “in demand” pricing was advertised.

She was nice as pie today even tried giving me £1 to treat myself.

Bollocks, I'm 70 next time and still go out to work, pay tax and fly aeroplanes. I have pensions but I need to keep occupied, I complete a Times 2 Jumbo crossword every morning over a coffee... I buy volumes of 60 puzzles. The brain is a muscle and needs to be used. The young uns at work beat me hands down on the latest software but I know how buildings fit together. I consider myself fortunate and privileged to be in good health.

Anyone worth several million that says they are being “driven away” are fucking traitors and should be hung from the tower. this country has allowed them to flourish and succeed. This amazing, free country has rewarded their hard work with limitless opportunity to make piles of money and in return that country only asks for some of it back. cunts At the first sign of their massive fortune taking a fraction of a hit they want to go and live in <checks> Dubai. It’s never anywhere else I notice, always going living with other rich ponces in the desert. Meanwhile, bootlicking skivvies who drive vans or fix washers support this and blame everyone else. Traitors. Nothing less.

Even a clock is correct twice!!!!!

aye fuck that not just the speaking, the having to go round meet the family, then come up with and orchestrate the service with a family who all want to say something but telling them they have limited time etc, it's a right old ball ache she gets amazing feedback like, family and friends will tell her best funeral they've been too (when it's a celelbratory funeral of someone who just died of old age) first one she did, estranged son turned up pissed with half a bottle of whisky in hand and kicked off also had to do one for a 18 month old baby, and a mum of two young lads who commited suicide no thanks

Jan/Feb is perfect for City breaks....decent walking weather...and a good time for pick me up holiday with post-xmas blues.

I'm going 0-5 @ 125/1

We did Venice and Florence last Feb. Got lucky that it was 15C and clear skies for the week. Thinking of Rome similar time but depends if we do another Asia trip

Maybe Christie is feeling the effects of two heavy games. Maybe the manager thinks we need a bit more support for the wide man going forward. Cogley certainly offers more in that department. Chill man chill. EE isn't ready to start and Sheehan is suspended, he's not gonna change the shape so it has to be Morley.

Weird isn't it? I could get up and do a karaoke Infront of total strangers but ask me to order a pizza on the telephone or get something from the ham counter in Morrisons and i couldn't do it.

My other half been doing funeral celebrancy And there have been plenty who've dropped dead coming up to our just after retirement One bloke was on his first day, waiting for taxi to take them to the airport he just keeled over and that was that Which is why I'm going to live in. Australia for a couple of years, see what it's like, turn 50, then decide what to do next

In such case I died pretty much most weekends in my 20s and 30s

This is an interesting 90 second vid.

We've got 5 matches in 2 weeks starting Saturday so realistically everyone is getting gametime.

Candlemakers anticipating a boom period.

Crutchley is either attention seeking or virtue signalling. Probably the former going off his photograph. Barnet looks like he could be a ufologist.

Would have thought so - I remember Rivals as I'd just finished Uni. My Dad gave me a job at his school inputting data and i spent most of my day on there (apologies to anyone who went to George Toms and didnt get their 100% attendance certificate in the summer term of 1999)

Ace, every bar had live music Friday and Saturday. Oliver Blunkett Street is the main drag, but plenty of little districts. Marina Market a bit hipster like, but some nice scran and retro football shirt stall. There’s a little boozer en route to the gaol that has its own brewery, awesome pizzas 😂 I recommend the train to Cobh, about 25 mins- cathedral is unreal and decent beers… titanic stuff too if interested. Last call before it sank, there is one pub with a little tribute to the postal baby- youngest survivor whose dad lobbed her in a mailbag I’d go back

One abiding memory from that was, day after I drove up for it, a Leicester fan at work who'd been to their game that night said the biggest cheer (they must have lost) that night came from them when they were filing out and the Bolton score came over the tannoy.... Bit like after the Arsenal cup game when I had to get back to Southampton and so get a late train from Waterloo. Bumped into a bunch of very moody looking West ham fans who clocked my shirt. Shouldn't have worried - they started applauding having heard the score!

Are you any good? I could do with loosening up a bit 😅. Apologies only just picked up your message, appreciate the help (and you @Big E) - @Casino had already been in touch, so we’re all safely sorted for our glamorous Tuesday night in Mansfield. The generous WW community assisting as always!

I was fortunate enough to be in the Anfield row stand in a heated seat. front row of the upper tier right in line with the penalty spot. That 4th was absolutely magnificent. They are so bad at the back

We agreed a long time ago never to talk about politics, as we ended up having a a bit of a scrap and rolling around on the floor in a foreign country after discussing corporal punishment while we were pissed 😂

I turned 60 in August. Retired at 57. 99% of work stuff I do not miss, a little bit of the banter but far out weighed by the bullshit and early mornings. I get up when I want. Walk the dog. Other than that I choose what to do every day (or the missus does). We spend a lot of time together but we also have our own interests that we do separately. I put a bit more effort into being in touch with mates from school, Uni etc Some days I choose to do fuck all others I will plan something. For all the advice you can get imo the biggest thing is being happy with yourself and your own company. We had a death in the family and I promised him I would get a check up at doctors, no real issues but losing some weight would help so have about a stone and half. (Although after a week away let’s see on Sunday) I am very lucky that I do not need to work Not sure it is that different, what Dimron is talking about doing is stuff that will boost all the good stuff that helps your body and your mind and it becomes a virtuous circle. The downside is the opposite can apply and it is hard to break out of the downward cycle. My biggest boost is currently away days as we have such a good laugh. Social Media especially Twitter was the opposite so I chose to come off it. I started this thead off about age and being boring but the reality is that if @miami organised another sportsman’s doubt I would jumping on a street cleaning van at 7 the next morning to go the pub. But watching ACD slot a winner at Huddersfield with my mate and our combined 3 kids is just as memorable.
