    I always thought that was the rule but didn't they relax it a few years ago?

    Not so sure about corners, but bye kicks used to have to be taken from the same side of the 6 yard box as the ball had gone out of play in, on the same principle as the corner example.

    The rule for that was relaxed to allow the bye to be taken from anywhere within the 6 yard box (thus allowing the keeper even more leeway for timewasting).

    Those names aren't familiar, but I only played there for a year or so around 1984 or 1985. I got a serious shoulder injury and had to quit.

    At my age remembering names from away back is problematic ! Todd Smith (?) was one I think, and I remember 'Guddy' who mainly captained the B team.

    I used to work with Todd Smith's Mrs. Still in touch with her on Facebook.

    Standards Committee might lead to a few more revelations with regard to exactly who else was involved, which I think is the prevalent factor in why Wragg wasn't thrown to the wolves by his own party, rather than fear of a by-election.

    There's more to this than has already been admitted, it just feels that way.

    If he's admitted what he has admitted, but also said "they had stuff on me", and has resigned the whip, it stinks of a ploy to avoid further scrutiny (which I'm sure the press are still doing).

    This has only just sunk in.

    There are couples that would expect you to buy them two drinks for every one you receive from them?!  

    FWIW (and call this tightfisted if you will), if out with a group containing women then I'll actively attempt to get the first round in as they seem to have a habit of starting 'cheap'* and then gradually get more expensive as the night progresses.  That or you start with pub prices then progress into bar prices.  Get the wines in before somebody opens the £11  cocktail floodgates I say.  Not really stingey if my drinks fluctuate by 50p rather than a fiver imo.

    There's bound to be loads of folk who try to dodge those first few rounds, only for it to bite them on the arse.  Pleasing.

    *they're never cheap.

     

    ETA: or does the first person just also end up buying in the second cycle and getting sod all in return?!  It's a tightrope.

    Also have to take account of the size of the company/party. In large rounds, some lightweights are out of the game and in a taxi home before even standing their round.

    The 40% inheritance tax:

    Does the £325k exemption threshold apply to each estate transfer, or is it a personal limit for everything over the years?

    I.e. Hypothetically speaking for simplicity, if both a parent and an unmarried partner left me 325k in their will, would my inheritance tax bill be £0, or £130k (40% of one of those 325k transfers)?

    Hiya Angela Rayner, hiya pal.

    Imagine watching that game of Saturday and thinking it deserved to be anything other than a Dumbarton win.   Ray has his head in the clouds, has done for about a year now. Came in and made us better last season for about 8 weeks then we completely fell away again, should have really made play offs last season.  Might still make play offs this season but not the play offs that we’d of hoped 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    One primary school I went to referred to lunch as "dinner time" and operated a ticket system which had "dinner ticket" printed on them. I remember because it was the height of hilarity to fold your ticket so it said "dicket". Yes, I was just as funny at that age.

    This was the south of England, so maybe it's a regional thing.

    I found it funny at this age.

    Not listening today (thankfully). What is this? And why was it deemed so important?

    Transcript of Stewart's side of a discussion with Loy (all the while not allowing Loy to speak)

    It was at 1545, if you're brave/daft enough to go to Sounds to hear it for yourself.

    Just out of interest do you guys think Stevie Farrell with get another year with your club or will this be his final year at the club. Surely if he fails to get promotion again he should be gone, like even Falkirk got promoted this year.

    Please take him.
