I’ve hardly seen any now you mention it.

Come to think of it, missed Flying Ant day this year as well.

It was M&S Belgian lager. But anyway the “leftover alcohol” task just grew. Pendle Witch £1.99 in spoons

Slumming it after the County Hotel then

At what stage does that kick in? I’m still in my 30’s so still a youngster (ok, ok, I’m 39 and 8 months…)

Currently you can take 25% tax free when you reach 55, the rules are changing in 2028 and you will have to be 58 before you can touch your pot.

I'll be 52 in 10 years... thats my aim, to be out of full time work then. Maybe then work 2 or 3 days a week until I can get access to my private pension pot (at 55 I think), but don't want to be doing 5 day work weeks. 

 

For you youngsters, you will have to wait to be 58 in 2028 to access your pension pot.

Is it time for Lange out yet? 

There’s a whole thread in Off Topic for that.

Or does a dog even know its a dog ?

I’ve asked my two, one thinks he’s a badger and the other believes he’s a sloth.  Not sure if that helps with your wonderment.

Gotta love Hibs. They're like our good pals, right down to the trolling of Arsenal.

Pride of Edinburgh, f*ck the Jambos

I missed the email on Friday for my eligibility to get a ticket, my 24 hour window passed.

Does that mean I am completely screwed getting one now? 

Johan, with your enigmatic smile and subject to procuring the right signings you should be ok.

But in all seriousness I think you might be, it’s a short window to buy a season ticket and you may have missed out for this season.  Maybe try it went into your junk folder.

the preston away shirt...who do they think is buying that? shocking from nike

As someone who lives in Preston, not many.

The club are offering to put the sponsor onto the training top, navy blue, which it seems is far more popular.

Ah Bradford worked there for 5 years, main customer was the supermarket that starts with M, horses on roundabouts, rag and bone men in the streets with their hoardes for the day mainly metal on their horse drawn carriages.  Simpler times.

ah so you can decline for 2 years and accept in the third year if you want!

That's how I am reading it so @crimski should be ok in Cardiff for 2 years if declining the offer this year.

3 options/chances to buy in the same summer?  Like they'll ring/email you 3 times and then take you off?

Link here to T & C's, think paragraph 8 is the relevant bit

Do you get kicked off the waiting list if you don't buy one in the window? I've just received the email but I have to move to Cardiff for 2 years in September

I am sure I read that if you don’t buy after 3 options to purchase then you will be removed from the waiting list.

If my only reference for how far we've gone in this tournament was this place I'd have fully thought we finished bottom of our group playing 9 defenders, Sterling and Kane

You do know you don’t have to come to this place don’t you, it’s your choice

They'll point to the fact they already did this during the early part of the pandemic with no adverse effects (No idea if there was an increase in accidents)

 

But in 2019 you could take your HGV test, not like 2020.  30k vocational tests lost in 2020, with the current shortage of drivers being between 60k to 76k.

 I'm now an enthusiast... How exciting. 

Just remember to pay it off in full every month.

I thank them for their cash to help us rise up the leagues though! 

Nah stay where you are or even lower please, says every Cestrian ever.

yeah they could play in a Dukla Prague away kit

And have biscuits at half time instead of oranges

Linking back to the conversation about financial planning, and seeing some of comments above, when did credit cards used under control become the norm, my parents were dead set against them, if you can’t afford it then you shouldn’t have it.  Did they live a life on tick and had problems or is it just easier now to control your finances with the internet et al

Always keep a couple of back-up credit cards for 'emergencies'. From memory got £28k limit across the 2 of them, although I expect Barclaycard to reduce the limit on theirs as I have hardly used it in years.
