    [Football] Which club do you dislike the most?

    Hate is a strong word. Dislike, or hope for poor results. Palarse - it's in our DNA Massive - for laughs Manure - for '83 Villa - mostly Emery Newcastle - family rivalry Pompey - old DNA Chelsea - new DNA

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    IIRC Russia were doing lots of "military exercises" on the Ukrainian border before the invasion and telling the world they had no intentions of invading Ukraine. With hindsight, the world now knows that Russia tells porkies, perhaps the Russians think that porkies are the norm and Finland are...

    [Albion] Injuries

    Or An alternative conspiracy view - we've stopped playing all our best players, claiming they are injured, so no clubs will be interested in buying them over the summer. #Smartploy #Keepingourpowderdry

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Day release? Try before you buy? Eurofighters are £multi-million bits of kit, can't see us gifting these.

    But wasn't that because he didn't want to press charges?

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    Back in about 1979 I dropped my motorbike coming round that corner from Hove in to Western Road - spilt diesel was like black ice .... G/f on pillion was none too pleased either ....

    [NSC] Plans for the summer?

    My and Mrs SS passports expired about 4 years ago - we're both retired now and quite well travelled so have enjoyed 2-day breaks around the UK for the last decade. We have both wanted to travel to Ireland but have being putting this off as no passports. Well, blow me down, I've just learnt...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I'm no Russian history expert but the only withdrawal (not defeat, so just like Vietnam) the Russians have ever made (in the last 100 years anyway) was Afghanistan in the 1980s when the penny dropped that the Mujahedeen were never going to be properly defeated [took 10 years for that to happen...

    [Other Sport] F1 2024

    Alonso using Honda engines? Last time that happened in F1 he was less than complimentary suggesting it was a F2 power unit. Have they kissed and made up?

    [Football] Well Done Hinsh.

    Yes, I listened to Charlton vs Shrewsbury today on local radio up here. Nathan Jones doing good things at Charlton. On the Charlton team sheet was Kazenga Lualua. For Shrewsbury, Elliot Bennett and young Jack Hinchy both started.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    That would be clear and obvious escalation, so it won't happen officially. That said, unofficially I'd be confident that some NATO boots (special forces) are already on Ukraine soil, the likes of you and I will always be told that's not the case.

    [Misc] Why Amazon, Netflix, Uber etc are all turning to sh*t

    I notice eBay have added 5p to their fixed element of their selling fees, up from 25p to 30p. This hurts high volume low margin sellers and with HMRC now getting data from eBay sales to see if tax due, can see the eBay platform on the demise in the coming months / years. They must rake in an...

    [Misc] Retirement

    Apologies if I didn't explicitly state, but Mrs SS has her own SIPP too. Of course I couldn't use my SIPP to pay someone else. Worth bearing in mind though, when paying in to a SIPP that putting all your eggs in one basket could close off some tax efficient drawdown options in retirement.

    [Misc] Retirement

    He did run some simple numbers. The key one I can't see mentioned in your response is the 25% tax free you can take from your SIPP. Lump sum not always the right choice. Example, assuming no other income, you can be drawing down £16,760k - so tax only due on 75% which keeps it to £12,570...

    [TV] The Apprentice 2024

    Quick search for "VICI Dental" shows Dr Paul is only a co-owner - so he couldn't offer half of his business to Lord Sugar as he doesn't own 100% Likewise for the Dragons, but don't confuse date / time programmes are recorded Vs date / time they eventually get aired .... [but I know what you mean]

    [Misc] Retirement

    My IFA told me that the SIPP was more tax efficient overall than the ISA but once you start drawdown MPAA limits [currently £3,800 pa] new money going into the SIPP so the ISA becomes 2nd best [20k limit pa]. As said by other posters, it all depends on individual circumstances and getting...
