I was waiting to see if I was getting my money back for paying for Andrew’s lavish lifestyle.

I’m half way up this hill. Raisins in couscous. Apricot in lamb tagine. I like all the parts but not together. So it’s more where fruit is fully integrated, but fine when it’s a sauce.

I’ve never heard of those chicken dishes. I’ve been to Marbella too.

Yeah but the royal family brings in more money to the country than we have to give them….

I’d say a compulsory pub visit. Say 5 pints and eat a pork pie.

I’m not a scheme user, but car lease costs are a large function of residual value and premium cars often hold value better than other brands. So it can cost less to lease a BMW 1 series than a Vauxhall Astra. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Premium' cars like BMW and Mercedes cut from Motability scheme - BBC News

Motability says it will provide vehicles that meet disabled peoples' needs and are safe and affordable.

I eat out a lot due to work and I’m staying in crappy places; the restaurant attached to the hotel is the only option selling huge quantities of highly processed food - calorie counts help me avoid the worst. Going for a nice meal as a treat at home -decent independent restaurants don’t show them

Boomer pensions generally are rich; they’re the generation that had it all. So the taxman comes for the benefits they’ve accrued and then GenX and back, who generally aren’t well off will take the hit on their shitty, non-final salary pensions.

It is also the case that having a Jersey parent Co allows YW to avoid UK tax.

Oh. I thought the article said no taxpayer money was being used.

York has been beneficiaries of the rule previously but the format is crap and with only 2 teams dropping from league 2, there’s a real bottleneck. Should be 4 up and down.

“Gifts cannot be sold or exchanged and eventually become part of the royal collection, which is held in trust for successors and the nation.” Those last three words are bullshit of the highest order. I’ll not see a penny of it.

What next? Morgan warns us the internal combustion engine may pave the way for motorised transport leading to a decline in the use of horses.

I wrote about football, family, memory and loss. About going to watch Everton with my dad, taking my son to Goodison for a final pilgrimage and why that place means so much to so many of us 💙>> www.theguardian.com/football/202...

A new runway isn’t good for the planet, but new runways are being built all over the world without a second thought and UK PLC doesn’t want to be left behind.

Always wondered why superman is tall, slim and muscular when he would be better being short and massively fat. Its superpowers that give him ability not time in the gym.

Fair play. I’m hitting that big day in a couple of weeks. Have taken the day off to stare into the void.

Can you imagine how much VAR would have ruined this game? Oohh did the ball brush a finger - penalty, did that push get seen by the ref - red card , let’s count millimetres for offside. Boring boring boring VAR.
