Not worth it with today's offers, unless the interest rate exceeds 5% for a prolonged period, which of course it well might. It's a lifetime tracker set at 0.25% above base rate, which was amazing until this year. That's the thing, the same with energy, there's not enough information to inform you of the best options cos we're in pretty much unprecedented economic times. If the BoE puts up interest rates too much to counter inflation they'll send us into a 1930s type depression.

The January figure is about the average mortgage I believe. Mine's much more and not fixed unfortunately l, so getting shafted by interest rate rises. So will most other people when their fixed rates end. Then there is huge food inflation too. My baseline utilities are higher than yours so looks like I'm facing £1000 a month in April. My wife is cutting her work hours out of pure necessity. We'll still be on a good wedge, but with existing debts I pay (fucking rip off builder) I'm worried. And I'm in the top 5% living in the NE. Honestly, this country is ruined.

Fuck off @Bigfrankchippa, you doss cunt. We can all thank Brexit of course for the need for a work permit at all for a Swedish lad. More red tape.

If De Gea has any more Brentford performances Dubravka should get the gig full time. That was unbelievable, but he's been on the decline a while hasn't he?

Hey man, doing what Kitman said is bad enough but you need to take it to the next level? You crazy antipodean degenerates!

I do like Horgan true. Doubt I will ever subscribe to Apple TV mind. Bad enough with Netflix, Disney, Prime (for the new LoTR) and Now (for the GoT spin off).

He doesn't seem to be a miracle worker mind. From what I can make out the last time he got a team promoted to the top flight (West Brom) was 16 years ago. He is one dour frankly scarey looking bastard too. Mackems are fucked.

Brilliant. Somebody post this on the SMB please.

Don't do drugs kids.

First I'd seen of that. I reckon getting back into goal of the month contention is a canny good proxy on how far we've come and are going.

Tbf wyki you've been slagging off ASM until recently. I'm sure Longstaff needs to improve or be upgraded, but until we have a like for like replacement I'm trusting Howe knows exactly what he is doing. Also I won't forget the raw potential Longstaff showed when he hit the first team, I still have faith.

Aye, but that was like leaving Liz Hurley for Divine Brown or summit marrra. Liz is back on the market now. Wibble.

I thought they loved him in Sunderland? Didn't they name a park after him? Fucking contrarian ingrates.

Why not? It's pocket change for us. Plus it would mean the mackems have taken blood money.

So, now in Cala D'Or with the horrors of last night in Wallsend and Howdon behind me. And it is absolutely pissing down. Forecast for the rest of the week is spot on though and quite proud I got through the flight without wanting a drink, despite my anxiety about flying. A couple of Brexit bonuses, had to show proof of booster jab to get in of course my NHS app refused to work, causing me a bit of panic. Fortunately searched through my wallet and found a card confirming Id had the booster and they were okay with that. Second one was I am honoured to pay twice the tourist tax our EU cousins pay as I'm from a third country. First thing the hotel do is bill you for that before you've even checked in, 80 fucking euros. Oh aye, and potentially roaming charges. Thanks CT.

For a sole earner but another thing about our society which has gone to shit is that families now have to have two people earning so that's about right. But try to bring up 2 or 3 kids on that man, with mortgages, transport costs, childcare, and now 6k utility bills. Fucking miserable at best, impossible at worst.

For the record, I certainly don't see SAFC as Liz Hurley. 🤪 Or Divine Brown for that matter. I see them more as Wendy from Breaking Bad.

Thread title. And they call us deluded.

Went I to my work for the first time in ages today. Decided to be brave and get the metro back via wallsend. Some fuckers tried to derail the train there. 15 mi ute inspection, the metro clear to go, it's broken down now at Howdon, completely. Half the passengers are the scum of the Earth, proper scary people. Waiting for a taxi. Fuck going into work.

Got to say, I love Macron's calm dignified response to Truss's latest disgrace, where she literally suggesed the French are our enemy. What a cunt that woman is, I am going to enjoy her being shown up like this time and time again. I really hope the Europeans see it like Macron, we're fucking powerless against this atrocity of a government until the next GE.

At some point in SAFC's future, he is destined to be their owner, for real.

When I see posts like this I almost feel sorry for them?

Howay, this isn't stacking up. I was briefly in Wallsend yesterday as it happens (apologies to HMHM):

The commentator said the rule is it's not handball if the ball makes contact with the material on the T-shirt, rather than flesh, which I didn't know. Gave me an idea for our strip going forward......

That's a great article. How many of us have said almost exactly the same as Maitlis here? I think we all did except for the so called Doctor Groom, who my knowledge is the only person on here that works in the media......
