What a ding dong do

Well, so far autumn has been pretty decent. Saying mainly dry for a few days, with some rain at night. Can't argue.

He christened James Anderson 'Thunderbird'. Took me a minute or two but quite a good one.

Plenty of these up in the village now.

To be honest, whenever I've been to any other ground not watching us, its never felt the same. Sometimes allows you to make a more rational appraisal of performances but just don't get the rush.

That's a big call. Can't see him boxing again mind.

Or sell them to a Chinese chippy- put the money towards a new boiler.

Just had a brief look at the mpemba effect. Quite interesting. I wonder if the amount of dissolved gas therein has an effect. Does a warm hand produce a better wank a the wheel than a cold one?

How convenient. Its time for a change he reckons. Better late than never I suppose.

My neighbour now pays £70 per month to insure his two dogs! Mick is right, its just the peace of mind that's useful. If you saved £10 a month for such eventualities, then in the end you might save. Just if the expense comes early.

Ouch.

Yeah, bad habit- me and my brother occasionally come up with nicknames for sportsmen. Some stick.

Pointless couple of friendlies at this time of year. Be better giving young/fringe players a go. Playing a half added first team and risking getting mullered might bring its own problems. I'll give it a watch, but reckon I'll do well to stay awake beyond the 70th minute.

Perhaps he could become an agent; there'll be a vacancy in that market shortly.

Sadly wasn't there. Worse was going for a piss at 2-1 down; coming back having missed the equaliser. Missing that sense of absolute euphoria was something I'll never get back.

Suppose its a bit like the Tranmere hatred; for a while we played each other regularly, and there was bitter rivalry. Now they're a non league club, and younger fans would probably cock a snook at them; " Tranmere, who..."

Very good.

Cheers. One of the makers was saying he didn't think it was too bad as it had to reflect reality. He also said people didn't have to watch it. Take his point, but perhaps there are ways of portraying history without so much gore. Maybe I'll give it a try

Dorsal out now. Torn cartilage. Who will replace him?

Folk on the radio the other day saying it was too grisly. Not seen it yet; what do folk think- over the top or reasonable?

Cheers.

Who was it- some dominatrix?

Well there's a surprise!

I spoke to Graham's wife earlier who said he's retiring for good next year. He'd carried on with a few domestic customers after taking a backseat from the main business, but next year his gas safe license expires and at several grand its not worth him carrying on. She explained that Jonathan and another chap currently do other work for the business and asked if I was happy for her to pass on my details. On that basis I presume they're still taking on domestic customers.

You tax dodger you! How does it work with lump sums on retirement; are they taxable, and if they are, would you pay the forty percent if it was large enough? Any road, I reckon your forty percent relief and twenty percent release is fair enough. Larger pensions mean more money for older folk to spend, with vat at 20% they're still getting some back and presumably there'd be some "benefits" you wouldn't be entitled to either. Either way enjoy it!
