  1. Genuinely got half way through. Reading your nonsense is like knitting snow.
  2. You've got way too much time on your hands fella.
  3. @Chripper posting the written version of maniacal laughing in the Steve Clarke- in or out discussion thread right now

  5. Nah, it's a verb in this statement so it's an "s".
  6. Would one be correct to assume that Gala would go to the SoSL? Also, apologies for asking again but is it just one down from LL?
  7. Don't let my pettiness get in the way of your Talbot love.
  8. Thanks for the detailed answer. Working backwards, I have been away from the UK since 2010 so the ISA wouldn't be an option. Technically I shouldn't have a UK bank account either but I've just kept it under my in-laws address and stayed schtum. I was previously using Currencies Direct but found they were pulling my pants down with the rate so have switched to Wise. They are showing the actual figures which will be transferred in the receiver currency so I know I'm getting a much better rate than CD. The problem I have is that Peru doesn't inspire many financial firms in that Wise, for example, won't let me transfer money to my account with them but will facilitate a transfer between Euro or UK banks to Peruvian bank account so I need to decide which way to jump rather than hold it with Wise and watch the rate. It's the potential need to exchange again from UK to Peru but I feel it's probably the safest bet to fire it to the UK. If a Kwarteng/Truss type announcement could happen this week in order to make the pound freefall that would be great. Thanks again for your help.
  9. Is there anything in the league constitution which could be used to allow both to lose that first match?
  10. I'll let your mother know. Congratulations!
  11. Slagged you guys in the recent past but I now ask for forgiveness, due to the fact I would like your advice. I am emptying my euro account as I have moved to Peru. My account here deals in both USD and Peruvian soles although if I'm transferring in it has to be in USD. My dilemma is should I send it to the UK in GBP or have it here in USD. I'm leaning towards UK account as I don't think I will need to use it here anytime soon. As I'm non UK resident I can't do ISAs etc (I don't think) so the easy savings option for me is a simple savings account which I already have with RBS which has the same interest rate as a savings account I could set up with my bank in Peru. The part that annoys me is numerically getting less GBP than USD but I know that means nothing. What would you financial eggheads do?
  12. Actually come to think of it, I'm getting mixed up with Coming to America.
  13. Microwaveable rice by it's very nature cannot be good for you
  14. Years ago the Chinese takeaway prices used to include plain boiled rice with a surcharge if you wanted fried rice. Halcyon days!
  15. This immediately made me think of the scene in the original Trading Places with Jamie Lee Curtis. I'm old enough to remember yet young enough to remember!
