The Burnham Years - Can the new(ish) broom sweep clean?
egg replied to iansums's topic in The Lounge
Looked at, yes, but not yet. I want to build a bond ladder but won't at the moment. I diverted some stock a few weeks ago to short term money market, GEAR funds, and Cat bonds. Glad I did. -

I was going to post similar. I don't know anyone who gets PiP who wasn't refused initially, then on review, and only got it on appeal. All meritorious claims. In my experience it's nonsense to suggest that it's easy to claim. The issue for me is that it isn't means tested - nuts that people get it on health entitlement but don't need the money - and shove the money into a SIPP or ISA. -

Yep, that was pointless. People would have used short term money market funds as a workaround so binning it makes sense. -

Agreed, and that's pretty much what it was. The little raid on the banks was well balanced imo, although the blanket energy gift wasn't the best way to use the money. I'd liked to have seen something on fuel duty instead. -

Yep. Markets don't mind it either -FTSE up, 10 year bond yields down. I think it was pretty cautious, but given what he's got to work with, it was better than I expected. -
Indeed. You didn't get much support with that opinion. The same last season with Azaz.
-
Agreed. Linked up well with Azaz, who played to Dobbins strengths. Credit to Tonda for setting us up to play around his style.
-
Close. Great turn and effort.
-
We'd also be 2nd if we'd beaten Bolton. We need to get over the -4 and do what we've got to do.
-
If we win the winners (i.e. Bolton), the -4 becomes irrelevant. This season is in our own hands.
-
I said we needed an alternative to Larin. That doesn't mean a clone.
-
However you put it, we needed an alternative, but as has been said a million times, nobody decent is coming to play second fiddle in the championship. On paper Mubama looked decent enough, although on the pitch, he doesn't.
-
You'd like to think so, although it could cause him to press the "fuck it" button. Netanyahu has just said that Donnie is aligned with him to do a number in Iran.
-
I disagree - it's the obvious call, and what most people expected.

No thrusters. Keep up!
-
He's already backtracked on the idea that the thruster / flying / hot wheels car will see the light of day.
-
So you got excited about the tech of a car despite acknowledging that a car with that tech won't be delivered. Right you are. I'm sure you can work out for yourself the point being made about Elon's businesses doing worse than the general market.
-
On a related theme, and to repeat another unanswered question...do you think we'll have cars with thrusters flying about anytime soon? A simple yes or no will do.
-
So you think we'll have cars with thrusters flying about anytime soon? A simple yes or no will do. Space Ex shares down 10.35% over the past 5 days btw. Tesla 6.82%. Such is the excitement for rockets btw, Rocketlab has dropped 24% over that period.
-
If you're taking bets on cars with thrusters being delivered anytime soon, you're as mad as Elon.
-
That's a thought, more fecked backs and necks = more PiP claimants. Seems like Ozzie is batting for the wrong team here.
-
PiP claimants will be able to collect their reddies quicker than ever before. How lovely.
-
Oh, the I'm a clever cunt cos I like blowy up rockets etc line. Grow up you daft prick. Your constant resort to rudeness and abuse when challenged is childlike and tiresome.
