  1. I thought everyone was on board with Aarons starting pretty early on into his career here...?
  2. Ewerk is, in my opinion, right about Corbyn's prospects. He isn't going to win an election. I'm going to vote for him anyway though because I'm sick to fuck of voting for things I don't believe in just to keep greater evils at bay. If this country wants the Tories and all the shit that goes with it then fine - the truth is that most people are too easily led by the media; as a result, it makes no fucking difference who Labour has as a leader as long as the Mail has the power to pull millions of utter fuckwits to the right of centre over things as trivial to their day to day lives as immigrants and benefits cheats. Given that there's nothing Labour can do about this mass stupidity except play up to it with their policies, they'd be forced into Tory-esque positions if they elect a centre ground candidate in order to have any chance of winning - as has been evidenced already, and which does no one who truly wants something that even looks like a centre-left party, let alone a left wing party, any good whatsoever. Fuck that. That's the Tories winning by default. If they (the Tories) want to win, if they want their divisive and unequal policies to be implemented, better that they do it themselves so that in the long run, when people wake up (or enough Tory voting old people die), they'll be seen for what they are. Even from an entirely pragmatic point of view, Labour should stick to their principles on the grounds that the Tories have done such a good job capturing the 'middle ground'. Labour have very little room for maneouvre there anyway. So why not Corbyn? At least he'd give us a party that understood what it stood for.
  3. There's the assumption there though that I have time to do this. What if my time is better spent making money in other ways? If I don't have time to research investment decisions in the level of detail required to make informed choices, due predominantly to working on things that will make more money than the investment itself, then why is it harmful to outsource that task to another entity which will, admittedly, take some of the income that I could have earned; but which will also be able to make informed decisions for me. Granted they might get it wrong, but then so might I.
  4. Well, that's nothing a good proxy won't fix.
  5. Agreed on this. Although with Chromecast as well I find I can just stream Prime from my phone to the TV, which I quite like. Same as Netflix in fairness though.
  6. Sometimes I wonder why I bother with this team...
  7. Maybe it'll shock them into more transfer action, who knows. </optimism>
  8. I thought our worst back four was the last game We have a lot of shite back fours at the moment.
  9. That... made it sound like the Roomba...
  10. I'm not saying he's right, he just seems to believe in what he's saying more than Dave does
  11. Is it just me, or does CT have all the momentum here for a change...?
  12. The classic Catch-22 now though. He's not saying anything so it just looks like he's gone off in a huff instead He'll say he can't win. He's probably right.
  13. What the fuck? That is amazing. Aside from the fact that he has no TV presence whatsoever, the choice he gives that cyclist man "You can choose to go to prison where we'll 'help' you overcome the vices that I assume you're suffering from, or you can choose to live free and be tormented by your demons" I know what I'd fucking choose.
  14. Just about to look at opening one of these instead of the usual Cash equivalents. Just wondering if anyone had any particular recommendations of specific funds that have performed quite well recently? Obviously with the caveat of no one being held responsible for any financial advice offered But yeah, just wondering who people use for this. I was thinking Jupiter since our finance director at works uses them (he must know his stuff, right?!) but still, I'd prefer to have a larger sample size. EDIT - I have a friend who has advised that he put £900 into his Natwest Balanced Stock ISA last year, and it's now worth £3000...not sure if I believe that, but it made me think about having a look at it.
  15. I thought Bubba the Love Sponge was an offensive name you'd given him just on the spot... am rather taken aback that this is actually his name.
  16. The new one or the old one? Really enjoyed the new one...
  17. Ba has moved to China...weird decision that, but I guess it's the money he's chasing. Although it's Shanghai Shenhua, and I've move to Shanghai in a heartbeat, so I can't criticise really.

    Hangovers

    I'm sure the headache comes from dehydration though...?

    Hangovers

    In truth, I'll normally make myself stay awake for at least an hour or so as well as the water. I'm probably just seeing it out and sleeping when I'm less drunk.

    Hangovers

    I'll confess to feeling a bit slow the following day like, it's just that the drinking water bit keeps the headaches away...I've actually never had a headache following alcohol.
  21. Rayvin

    Hangovers

    Probably true. I dunno, what's a lot these days? I managed 6 pints and a few shots recently and was ok? I'm on a full bottle of wine tonight - is that enough? Yeah I don't drink that much then, I guess... what sort of drinking is hangover territory then?
