Mine personally, I hope so. The guaranteed redundancy pay-off and pension would enable an early and happy retirement.
Just an everyday extraordinary ordinary person. Hearts season ticket holder. Currently living in Essex but shortly retiring early and returning to Scotland. #FTT #8647 and an avowed opponent of anything and anyone remotely right wing.

He was right to be fuming at England's tactics of resting bowlers by using the sub fielder. The only downside for Ponting, though, was that Gary Pratt was on the field at the time for a legitimate injury, so he would've been run out anyway, even if England's rule bending was stopped.

Plenty of an ironic lack of objectivity in his mini-rant, as he connects a government and military force creating famine to a faith practised across the globe. We rightly call out the Israeli government and IDF. He defaults, in a gutless apologist way, to 'You are attacking an entire religion'.

Then maybe you and your party ought to have supported the "progressives" between 2017 and 2019, when the UK was on a Brexit knife edge with a hung parliament in Westminster, instead of doubling down on the isolation and demonising of them in the media at the time.

Definitely. I travelled to Mulheim on an exchange trip at school in the early 80's. After 3 or so years of German in a classroom, I probably learned more in 10 days there. Then travelling there decades later, I somehow know what to ask, how to ask it, and understand the answer.
