I agree, that is true to a certain extent. The banks aren't helping this time around as they are stubbornly refusing to raise the interest rates for savers (profiteering?), so there is no incentive for money to be taken out of the washing machine. Headlines like this suggest that there is still a certain amount of 'frivolous' spending going on.

So you agree the answer to "has there been staged dead bodies in Ukraine", is yes? /MLGmode

Everyone on minimum wage and living wage. I'm guessing you jumped to the conclusion I meant public sector as I mentioned government, but not so. Absolutely, private sector wage rises also fuel inflation - but there are no laws dictating that they MUST do so, as there are governing NMW. It's likely that the majority of companies that were forced to implement that increase ARE private companies...

Not at all. Just that Badger's response in the negative to "has there been staged bodies in Ukraine" is incorrect.

I thought the Russians staged some dead bodies in Ukraine - then one of them got up at the end of the video?

Amazing that the Gov't can insist on over 3.5 million workers are given a 9.5% pay rise, then they complain that inflation is going up! But it's all someone else's fault! Meanwhile Labour are insisting that banks help out mortgage owners and let them have a 6 month break or a temporary move to interest only. This will put more money in their pockets, so they will have more to spend and inflation will keep rising. Genius.

A pound to a penny he did....

Nope.

He's here now. I'm sure he will put something in place to make sure we romp the league in the next couple of days before the players come back from holiday. I imagine he'll have the transfers sorted by Sunday afternoon and will get cracking on the tactics.

Stuck in to what since everyone is still on holiday? Only so many pencils that need to be sharpened....

Fuck yeah! When you've been a wanker for as long as some of us have been, it's gonna affect the old mince pies!

Uh oh! Maybe he's having a medical - which he might fail!

Boris's law?

To be fair, the club have played a blinder on this one. Underwhelming, uninspired, meh manager appointment a month ago has turned into many fans hankering for his arrival as the new Messiah. Credit where it's due!

Fair play to Cummings - proper captain's innings there.

And Boris.

Massive change in the weather today. Rain early on, then cloudy all day. Will Broad and Anderson shine through in those conditions? I think getting Khawaja early will be the key and they may flop if he drops.

Flock indeed! Couple of washes before it turned beige, couple more and it started peeling off! For flock's sake!

Aribo and useless in a class of their own!

Will the logo be foam like the original one was?

Reluctantly we let them have Jones in a swap deal.

It was tongue in cheek, but not sure there is a new slant. Any shirt that is created will "look like" one we've had before. There are a finite number of ways stripes can be presented. Somebody, somewhere will have the same complaint that it's "boring and has been done before".

You seem incredulous that the Mail got something wrong!
