  1. He is so full of cr@p, how on earth could Lansdown have been so taken in by it. Probably because Ashton is also full of it!
  2. I sit with 7 others and have done for many years. Having a laugh and chat is the main thing that makes it worth going. Certainly in the last few seasons the actual football on display has not been the main reason! Obviously that is going to not be possible for the foreseeable, which will greatly affect the match day experience. Will wait to see what the proposals are.
  3. Freeman was sent off for a similar challenge against Brentford
  4. I'll leave you to guess whether it's going back to full price or not! ??
  5. Thanks, indeed you are correct, mine's increasing. They don't waste any time do they!
  6. That's a pity. No doubt Sky will start charging me for Sky Sports. ? And I'm not that interested in the Prem
  7. Ah, ok. Fair enough, I'll ask my son tomorrow if he has heard anything about it.
  8. Spoke to my son who lives in Perth this morning. He's sports mad and a City fan?. He didn't say anything about Prem games being played there when we were talking about the season's outstanding games. He did say Foxtel were reportedly in trouble because of no sports on TV. Seems unlikely to me. Mandatory 14 days complete hotel quarantine for all those incoming to WA. So no training etc during those 14 days in isolation.
  9. The only Blue and White quarters you'll see in BS16 will be on Beemers ?
  10. It was a great night. Cotts' reaction when the third went in was magic! I've been following the club since I was a nipper in the early 5O's and that season under Cott's was one of the best. It was only L1 but we were such a force. Felt like we were riding the crest of a wave. Fantastic times, pity the 'Gate was being redeveloped at the time, otherwise the home crowds would have been 20k plus I reckon.

  12. Whenever "indiscretions" come to light the guilty party always profusely apologises and expresses deep regret. I think most of the regret centers around being found out!
  13. Apparently in good health. So why has he been tested? Yes I know, Royal privilege etc. Blah blah. But a lot more front line folk at risk would love to be tested.
  14. Of course, not disputing that for one moment. And for many different types of self employed it's obviously very difficult to sort out. Just suggesting that getting help to CIS self employed via their UTR, in the same way their over payment of tax is refunded, would be relatively straightforward. My view, fwiw, is a subsistance payment to everyone. Same amount, enough to cover bills, food etc. And so what if some benefit, while others will find it inadequate. At least it would help the vast majority and enable people to stay home and stop the virus spreading and not become destitute.
  15. Exactly. There's a lot of ignorant comments on here. And as I pointed out much earlier in this thread CIS self employed have already contributed too much tax during the present financial year. That's the way it's done. As HMRC issue tax rebates following CIS tax returns against a sub contractor's UTR I don't see why it would be that difficult to provide the appropriate financial support by the same method. IR35 cases may be more difficult/complicated, I have no experience with this. But getting help to at least some CIS self employed would be a start and demonstrate that something was being done.
  16. Indeed, what if someone has been S.E. for less than 36 months?
