...or a better time for Israel. There was always going to be a new pipeline.

The bond market is against us for all manner of reasons. Our pension costs, energy sensitivity, debt, general outlook, interest rate risk, etc. As much as I disagree with Ossie's politics re immigration etc, he's right to be concerned about how the bond markets view our outlook. Sure, Trump is fucking the world over, but it's exposing where we're at.

Our posts crossed mate. Whether it's revised, the bond markets are the fortune tellers, and they don't like the look of our tea leaves.

The pound is steady ISH against the dollar, and a wee bit up year on year against the euro. Trump will fight against US interest rate rises so I don't see the dollar strengthening.

The little feature on Chat GPT to turn pics into authentic 80's style pics is brilliant though. Not sure it's worth killing us off for though.

Throwing bricks at buses. Never has there been a more peaceful pastime.

Birds shitting on your car and eating into the paint. Especially on a lease car knowing they'll rinse you when you hand it back.

Indeed. I'm sure many people have had nights out, or days at football back in the day, that weren't entirely peaceful, but everyone avoided getting nicked. Calling them peaceful would be nonsense.

Arrests aren't a barometer. What takes place is.

So not described as peaceful! Notting Hill can fairly be described as mostly peaceful.

Our posts crossed mate. Yep, not as bad as it could have been, so toned down. That said, it wasn't described as peaceful, just mostly.
