A little known fact. If you have a deferred FS pension, (seems you have), it will sit on the company's books as a bad thing. A future liability. At some point, they may look to get rid, and make it worth your while. And if interest start to dive, that liability becomes bigger and bigger. I...

I remember them as a kid! Nice to know they are still around.

Says more about footballers that they were surprised about any of that.

Bird in the hand wasnt it? If you live to 98, chances are I would have been wrong, strictly on a £££ basis. Said the same to my old man about 10 years ago. His was a pretty large monthly increase, in return for no more increases. At the end of the day, its a bet you take when offered a deal...

From my experience in the industry, the angst from non CS folk wasnt the fact you get them, it was more that many in the CS have little idea how good they are, compared to others, nor who actually pay for most of them. See the anger at Truss getting a pension for life after 44 days. (Its an...

The PL take note of that so they end up with a lower threshold. Sommet like £70m instead iirc. It was the brunt of Samuels article today, in summary, "Whats the point?" in trying to be competitive.

Christ, where to go with this. Laughable.

Remember how crap the games were with no fans? Well, not crap, but a tough watch. The reverse happened earlier in Sunderland. We were reminded how footie should be, and the game wasnt even all that.

Pain wasnt too much of an issue, but that ^^^^^ was also part of his thinking. He was offered a (risky) surgery slot a week or so before Nikki's funeral, but declined it so he could say farewell. In his mind, there was no point nor value nor any help for Mum in him being continuously treated for...

My Dad had lived a fab live. 60 years married, 3 kids who have done ok, 6 wonderful grandchildren. Knew Everton as a successful club as well. Long story short, the op he needed to cure his problem was not feasible, cos it would kill him most likely, so instead of a life of ever more frequent...

I am ok with it at the SF and final; all 4 teams benefit/get sawn off.
