I have been banging my head against a brick wall for years trying to explain to my friend's who are lucky (by choice) to have a public pension as they (my friend's) can't seem to grasp why I get worried about the state of the markets and how it affects my pension. The money I have put in to pot was disappearing quicker than I was putting in to it for a good while.
The bank of mum and dad isn't going to be good enough in a few years time. Some of my daughter's friends are on a completely different financial plateau and the amount of money they are given by their parent's makes us look like paupers so I do think how really hard it must be for kids who don't have any help get a foothold on finance for the future. |

I do have fond memories of summer afternoons eating on the lawn outside Dick Bartons with so many other families. The queue of traffic coming back from Caswell and Langland was immense. |

Usual Labour party in spite of the last decade of hell by a completely useless bunch of similar politicians from another party.
The minimum wage is now too high but that isn't this government's fault or the previous one. As has been said it probably needs to be frozen for a few years just like in the past when public sector workers have had to have a pay freeze. I'm looking at life in the same way as Max and looking to stop working nearly 50 hours every week and would be joyous (thanks to the minimum wage that I'm saying should be frozen) if I could get a job working three days a week. |

yep, though checked online and Hiks is 9.75 for large cod and is supposed to be really good. one of my mates said Codbox is good as well. I travel through Swansea on way home so any good chippy is worth a look at. You can have a massive Chinese meal for the same cash. |

Went to buy Fish and Chips in Dick Bartons last night and large cod was £11.50. 3 with chips would have been 45 quid. It got me wondering what the best Chippy in the Swansea area was, are they better value and how do I keep them warm when I'm travelling back? |

Is there some link that we can all individually complain Keith. Maybe PM us, so he can't say that you encouraged us :) |

Christ on a bike. No known goal scorer and no Galbraith but with pace and Yalcouhe genius. Were the subs all out on the piss with him? |

I thought we had Oxford on the ropes and then we decided to let them have a go. Good start, lovely cross and goal but poor end of half. Keep the ball on the floor and make space. |

Meeting one concluded.
They are making a hash of it. Still better than the last lot, he said, and that they seem to be hamstrung by it being such a mess they can't make difficult decisions. The Police need a shitload of money but can't get it because they didn't get rid of the triple lock. |

I'm off out for a drink with a senior Whitehall Civil Servant and another on Friday next week. I will question them both on how they think the present administration are doing and, especially compared to the rest.
FwIW I thought Keir was going to be a lot better at this PM job than he is. I can see why Max has his image of him.
I do also feel that Richie doesnt like Labour much |

Would you care to elaborate on where they have messed up, especially on an unprecedented scale. The bar was set very very low with last government. The Labour Party have been in government for little over a year so they haven't had a lot of time to get things that badly wrong, surely? |

Surely they are communists and not just lefties though. A lefty having social principles and goals of wealth creation are not mutually exclusive. Maybe the lefties were at the extreme end of the scale? |

Cullen is an enigma and he does give everything. He is a natural goal scorer but has missed a few recently that he normally puts away. I have had days when I see him come on the pitch and am resigned to us giving up and then he does what he is more than capable of. Then the following game I'm glad he is on the pitch and he misses golden opportunities.
He lives in Bishopston and seems very settled so he isn't going anywhere. |

It is awful that, in my mind, he has correctly made this policy U turn it is giving the political vultures so much ammunition as he is looking even more indecisive and therefore untrustworthy. Some of them, including the employment rights bill have been pragmatic but it really is damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I'd walk away if I was him and say you are welcome to it |

Should have got something out of this game. I thought it was definitely happening when Inoussa came on. Cullen so close yet so far. The ref should be investigated - bookings for nothing fouls and conversely nothing for bookable fouls.
Why do top teams in this league get virtually no added time at home when they are winning and ten minutes when they are losing. |

Yep spawny lot having someone who can throw in like that but in fairness one great finish. Should probably be 2-1 up but not much between the sides and I think Coventry will get slaughtered in the Prem |

Inheritance tax has been around for a very long time and the current version was introduced by Thatcher in 1986. Should the government be giving some credit in taking a step back on the inheritance tax stance or do you think that they shouldn't make u-turns. Whatever suits your political bias is what will undoubtedly shape your answer. |

shows how arrogant some of them have become as just a few weeks ago they were just above relegation places and we were just outside the play offs. |
