Roughly that - minimum wage is broadly double the state pension.

I agree, but the club will have anticipated uncertainty and distraction when they decided to back Tonda. Consequences etc.

I think the answer is to keep a non triple locked and non means tested state pension, at a lower level, but with a means tested pension credit system as a top up and safety net for those who need more. Essentially, a quasi means tested system.

I don't agree re triple lock, but I've been expecting the higher rate relief to go for years. It's unaffordable, but I'll take advantage of it while it's there.

Shearer was, but it's easy to forget he got lucky that day. O'Leary and Adams couldn't play, so he was up against Gus Caesar and out of position Michael Thomas. I've never seen Princewill and Sesay play, but hopefully they carve out a good career.

Do fuel thieves go mob handed in 3 vans with moody sign writing? Seems unlikely.

It's so odd. Trump was either talking nonsense, or knew full well who these people were and why they were there. I suspect they'll continue the line that this was an Iranian plot, and use that as an excuse for another round.

Only one biscuit in there H&W, and a French one at that. A Scottish cake too. I bet you're a Garibaldi man too.

They're good. Ditto the bourbon. More of a chocolate bar with a biscuit in the middle.

Ha!! First one was an accidentall discovery... visiting in hospital, popped in the M&S, the milk choc digestives were £2+, but the dark ones 65p so bought them. Being a tight sod was the only factor in play there mate, otherwise it'd have been the mixed race milk option.

I didn't call the landlord evil. I said you didn't understand the words in the article. On that, the article didn't say what the market rent was. You've just made that up, again, to suit your narrative.

M&S dark chocolate digestives are amazing. Can't beat a good custard cream and bourbon either. Old school biscuits.

I'm not sure you read it properly if that's your conclusion. She couldn't afford to buy it, or pay the rent. The "reduced" rent was an increase from €430 to €1419 per month. Not sure how any reasonable person can conclude that the old girl was being unreasonable.

I think some posters need to respect that others don't want to go down rabbit holes. Ralph, for example, will swerve one question asking about 3 in response. He may want that wider discussion, but it doesn't mean the bloke being asked the multiple questions should play his game.

It's odd as anything. I'd hazard a guess that Trump was talking nonsense, but, 3 vans with moody sign writing seems a bit much for fuel thieves. As does bomb disposal robots.
