Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Following a public consultation, the UK gov has published its North Sea Future Plan. It includes both detail on its approach to new oil & gas exploration licensing AND details on its support for the O&G workforce & communities. The headline is that there will be no new exploration licences issued

Memories can be triggered by the oddest and most innocent of things. In this case, unpacking a tin of coconut milk brought back memories of our late cat who loved drinking out of an empty tin filled with water.
But is this is a sad memory or a happy memory? We can make that choice.

I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

With everything that's going on in the world right now, the fact the hottest BlueSky topic is Star Wars Rankings tells me we're going to be ok. Arguing on the life rafts, but ok.
And it's the middle three, the TV stuff, the last three, the fillers, the first three.

Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

The last time I took their pictures, many moons ago, I had talked them into wearing Santa hats for a magazine cover the editor decided not to use.

If some of our fans didn't have their eyes opened by Robbo's interview they need to have a serious look in the mirror. We have grieving, broken young men trying to navigate their way through a terrible time. They went from Diogo's wedding to his funeral in three weeks #YNWA #LFC #RedSky

It would be brutal to sack Slot. He’s managing a group of grieving men. Any wonder they make mistakes? Getting rid of Arne would maybe bring the players down further too. There’s no magic wand for this.
But it’s also hard to know where Liverpool go from here. Loooong season ahead.
Up the Reds.

There's something almost bordering on fun with us this season. Masochistic, certainly. But kind of fun in not knowing what is to come
Remember the tedium of us rocking up and winning each week? How boring that became?
No no, this charge into the unknown is much better. Exciting.
