    Ward? No, for most of the season we fielded Ward. He's arguably even worse. Had Rodgers not driven away Schmeichel, or Top ditched Rudkin for someone who actually knew how to plan contract negotiations and overrule when necessary we'd have Iversen learning from Schmeichel and the latter would...

    I still can't get over Forest getting lucky matches against lacklustre Brighton, Chelsea and Arsenal squads. What a joke.But it highlights what a squad can do when they want to fight and play for each other vs Leicester's self destruction. Tbh going down might be beneficial. Clear out and build...

    3090 compared to 4000s

    I was lucky enough to get my 3090 for under £1k new so don't feel too bad. I would be miffed if I'd paid £1.5k for it though! I still benefit from 24GB and win7 drivers, which for me make a difference though I appreciate that's a bit niche compared to a lot of people.

    He's still lurking around. Coventry raised funds and tried to buy their stadium back but he beat them to it and now leases it back to them for the next 5 years. Kind of reflects in microcosm so much of what is wrong with the modern economy.

    LCFC should also complain as the Newcastle players won't be nearly tired enough. Brighton have been giving the other relegation contenders easy matches. I think it's more a Brighton grudge against Leicester than Liverpool tbh.

    Not to mention Leicester will play Newcastle next so... oh no wait we're in 2023.

    The joy of being a landlord

    The model, being put forward for debate in the Irish Parliament, is that the rental amount any property can be rented for is set by the government and derived by what people can actually fairly pay. It is not left to market forces of how much can a landlord get away with. Where that means...

    The joy of being a landlord

    interesting. You got a source for that 12% stat there? People needing to rent would be catered for by the means I described in my post. Private rental doesn't feature in that model. Social renting and assisted buying do. Your question is already answered.

    The joy of being a landlord

    Well you may think it absurd but this is a real debate put forward in the Irish parliament. I'm sorry if that jars with your worldview but you can't dismiss it as absurd. He didn't. Again, the stats, actual stats, given in the video I linked before, from the Irish Parliament, give examples of...

    The joy of being a landlord

    As my post, nobody provides private rentals. They shouldn't be needed. That's the point. If you watched the video he argues it quite eloquently in more detail.

    The joy of being a landlord

    People were talking about a homeless crisis. Stats on it are entirely relevant so we can have factual discussion based on actual data. I'm not sure why you would deem that irrelevant? People need somewhere to live. If a person can afford to buy and live in one property their needs are met. They...

    The joy of being a landlord

    Homelessness varies with location. The national average is approx 1 in 200 homeless (classed as in temporary accommodation or rough sleeping but not including sofa surfing/ sleeping in cars and other non-reported homelessness) Homeless rates vary greatly with location though. In the worst...

    The joy of being a landlord

    well it's kind of like the GPU fiasco isn't it. Company N can only supply Q thousand units. If 0.8Q get gobbled by scalpers has the market improved because 0.2Q were sold to end users rather than scalped? A fairer market is for everyone to be able to buy direct and scalpers can do one. Perhaps a...

    The joy of being a landlord

    In central london, zone 1 there are a number of properties that are not permanently occupied but occasional visitor/holiday homes/2nd homes. Westminster openly report that they would lose significant revenue if the old Council Tax reductions for unoccupied periods were reinstated. However the...

    Cringe. You know that was some club PR agent making him do that. I'd hate every minute of it. LOL at the soundtrack though. Sounds like something you get filling the background of a funeral while you wait for the service to start.

    didn't they have a couple of injuries when they dipped? I might be wrong, but I thought their upturn coincided with having their preferred squad altogether again.

    yup. Rodgers and Rudkin. The anti-dynamic duo. Rodgers has his faults, but he's also been a bit shackled by those above him. Top needed to get rid of both much sooner, Rudkin first tbf. We ditched our business model, bought badly, hampered by King Power's covid implosion, and now we're going...

    Travel buggy: buggaboo ant or I think it's now been replaced by the butterfly or something like that. Excellent, go in overhead lockers. best thing we bought. Main buggy seat stows into the base when you're using the carseat attachments. Great design. We also got a normal buggy (buggaboo bee)...
