Yeah I don't really get their argument.

There's an argument that pension age is too high for both men and women, I don't see why women should get preferential treatment.

[Letters]

One of my feminist friends says it's not the equality they're unhappy with, it's the way it's been done so quickly.
There is an argument there - people who made career decisions based on the idea they'd be getting a state pension at 60 are suddenly not getting it for another 5 years.
So maybe it hasn't been done in that smooth a way.
But, overall: Meh.

The new Public Sector pension pays out at "the retirement age" and who knows what that will be if and when I get there.
Happily I do have a fair bit in an older scheme which pays out at 65.

Also, the stock answer to your post is “stop victim blaming” :sulk:

To which my answer is always “do you lock your door when you go out?”
Which, of course, everyone does. Because they understand that there are bad people out there.
If you leave your front door open and you get robbed then is that your fault?
Not really, but is your insurance going to pay out? Are they balls, because they expect you to take some responsibility for keeping your possessions safe.
I have literally never heard anyone say
“why do they keep telling people to lock their doors, tell people to stop robbing”.
But that’s the argument you get around “rape culture”.
Why don’t you tell men to behave themselves, rather than telling women how to act.
:doh:
Men ARE told that, but if you’re the sort of scumbag who is going to rape women then you’re probably not going to listen to that.

Basically, it comes down to this: we all have some responsibility for our own safety.
It would be nice if we lived in a world where there were no bad people, where you could leave your door open and not get robbed, where young girls could go out dressed how they like, walk home on their own, accept lifts from strangers.
But we don’t live in that world, so take some responsibility for your own safety.
Literally everyone understands this, that’s why they lock their doors.
I wish people would stop pretending they don’t understand that when it comes to women being attacked.

Silly bint. Don’t pay with credit if you can’t pay it off then.

I literally don't understand that story. The headline made it sound like it was the fact that she chose to pay over a period of time that affected her credit score.

Well, yeah, that is literally a factor in your credit score.
As you say, silly (hot) bint.

I read that yesterday as well.

The headline infers blame on a company for providing a product that when used, by default, damages your creditworthiness.

A more accurate headline would be “Not paying what I owe messed up my credit score”.

The most hilarious thing is that she “prides herself on being organised, with monthly payments”.

Are they alluding to that? If so then...lol.
Things like snooker and darts, sure, no reason women and men can't compete on equal terms.
Anything athletic though then obviously there are physical differences which mean women aren't going to be able to mix it with the men.
Women's football is actually pretty high standard these days but in terms of pace and strength there are obvious differences.

Picture the scene.

You're a young man from Azerbaijan and you've recently moved to England for university.

You're in your first year, you're still adjusting to a new country, culture, language etc.

You're struggling a bit to make friends in this strange new place, but one thing you have in common with many of the locals is that you're a big football fan. You were lucky enough to be able to go to the Europa League final when it came to your home city.

Oh and look, and you've recently discovered that your college has a football team that trains once a week and is always looking for new players, perfect!

You decide to go along.

You don't know anyone, but you're eager to make a good impression, but you're understandably a bit nervous, so you're not playing your best. The ball keeps bouncing off you, your passes are going astray and you've made a few mistakes that lead to opposition goals.

It's also fucking freezing, and the wind is blowing hard enough to knock goals over. You're frustrated that you're possibly ruining your big opportunity and that the football here isn't like what you're used to back home where it's nice and warm.

It's getting towards the end of the session, and you're determined to make a good impression. After your below-par performance, it's going to take something spectacular; the chances of putting in a consistently good shift are gone.

You see one of your teammates make a mistake, and hand the ball an opposition player who passes it to a man in front of goal, who you're near to. This is it! This is your moment! If you can block this shot and save a certain goal, that's what you'll be remembered for, and the rest of your performance will be forgotten!

You go to block the shot. You're a few yards away and the striker is close to shooting, so you need to jump to get to the ball, but needs must. You leap through the air, foot first, determined to get a touch on the ball ball. This is going to be spectacular! You're gonna be a hero!

But alas, the striker gets to the ball before you. Quite a bit before you, in fact. So much so that he has time to plant his foot onto the ground in the exact spot where the ball was. The ball you've just launched yourself at with all your weight.

Crunch.

The striker goes down yelling in pain.

Fuck.

Not only have you just played below your usual standards, you've also injured one of the players whose team you wanted to join. This hasn't gone at all as planned.

To add injury to insult, you've also hurt yourself in the process, and as you see the man you injured being supported by his teammates, you're left to limp back to halls alone, dejected and miserable.

Anyway yeah I feel bad for the guy, but being on crutches for the next few weeks is gonna be annoying as fuck.

Holy shit, Cardi B is an annoying and stupid bitch.

[GP]

Yeah, I definitely know who that is.

[Marc Overmars]

She looks like a walking STD.

[Letters]

She does these stupid sound effect "catch phrases" on Jimmy Fallon and everyone laughs and claps rather than punching her in her stupid annoying face.

I don't know why I've become obsessed by how bloody awful and annoying Cardi B is, but I listened to one of her "songs" today
An excerpt from the "lyrics"

Bitches be pressed (Pressed)
They knew how I'm coming, real bitch in the flesh (Woo)
Who the fuck she gon' check? (Who?)
She be talking that shit, talkin' out of her neck (Brr)
Put blood on her dress (Woo)
Bitches be mad when they see Cardi step in the spot (Woah)
Said that you 'bout it, we know that you not
I'ma pull up on bitches as soon as I drop
Bought a new foreign, I might cop a yacht (Skrrt)
Bitches in my business, they tryna plot (Woo)
Hoes poppin' shit like they hot but they not (No)
Just flooded the wrist, the Patek, the watch (Woah)
Niggas be flexing, we know what you got
Cardi done had got the game in a knot
Fuckin' your nigga, I got him on lock
This go bang bang like I'm choppin' them chops
VVS chain, I'm in love with the rocks (Woah)
You said you gon' take it, bitch, you got me chopped (Woah)
They throwin' shade 'cause they see me on top
Tell that bitch to pull up, I'ma send you the drop


Da fuq? :blink:

That said, she is pretty much naked in the video and she used to be a stripper, so that's nice.

Got a trip to Italy planned but that’s not until June. This shit better have blown over by then.

[Letters]

A colleague has a skiing trip to Northern Italy planned in a few weeks and is nervously keeping an eye on travel advice.

I don't know if I'll get my money back for the flights, it was only £200 but still <_<

[GP]

200 is a lot of money fam.

Typical Tory :rolleyes:

[Letters]

Meh. I used to wipe my arse on £20 notes till they made them plastic.
It's a lot of money in the "Oh bother, that's annoying" sense. Not in the "Holy shit I'm going to lose my house" sense.
I think I'll still be able to afford to eat. It's not the end of the world but it is jolly annoying.
I never have much sympathy for people who find themselves in this position. What's that you say, you didn't get insurance? Well, silly you, but whose fault is that?
I guess I should apply that to myself.

Me :pal:

It'll easily be over by then. Everyone will be dead.

163 cases in the UK now. It was 30 a week ago wasn't it? :wacko:

[Niall_Quinn]

163 cases in the UK now. It was 30 a week ago wasn't it? :wacko:

So either it's spreading at a snail's pace or they aren't really testing. I was out and about today in London and there are plenty of posters up, but no actual measures in place. The posters probably won't have much effect on containing the virus, unless they are carrying the latest George Monbiot editorial.

[Letters]

Tbh with the incubation period it’s pretty much impossible to stop the spread, they might be able to slow it down but they’re only delaying the inevitable. Although for most people it will be relatively mild.

In brief: Coney :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

100+ within a week seems a lot to me, especially with no vaccine.

Regardless I will however feel like I have missed out if I don't get two weeks off.

[Niall_Quinn]

I got the place name spot on.

[Marc Overmars]

273 cases now :rose:

[Letters]

In a population of 70 million :shrug:
I do think there will be a big outbreak here but I don’t think it’s going to be like 28 Days Later

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Just so long as it waits a month or two...

[Niall_Quinn]

273 cases now :rose:

That's like 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000003% of regular colds and flu. This thing must spread by cash on delivery post.

All a huge nonsense. Hyped by the media and lunatics like the Dems in the States. Which means, even though there's as close to zero risk as makes no odds, there will be serious issues because the ninny generation are panicking. They were all out with their mobile phones and their designer glasses (that just have glass in them rather than lenses) in the supermarket today, buying loo rolls and pasta. I saw one millennial spastic with about 800 toilet rolls in her trolley until she was informed by the (barely containing hysterical laugher) checkout girl that it was max 5 per customer. Yes, rationing bog roll, pasta, water and soon everything I suppose. And the self-confinement. The modern generation is so weak and pathetic it's offensive. I want to puke when I see them.

[Letters]

Can you imagine these people in a crisis? Wait - we don't have to imagine. Just look at them! Fucksake.

Mind you, it does show what a very thin veneer society actually is. Nanny state will most definitely not be there if genuine shit happens. This could be a good thing in the long run, if enough people get a sniff of how useless dependency is as opposed to self reliance.

My bank's new security systems swung into operation this morning for online banking. They're great and I feel so much more secure now that I don't have to rely on a mere customer ID, date of birth, random keyword and 16 character password to login. Now anyone who I've accidentally given all that information to will also need my bank card, a card reader, a steady hand, the ideal lighting conditions and a singularly powerful magnifying glass to gain access to my overdraft.

Finally!

I've already booked a day off work next week so I can log in and check how much the bank shortchanged me on currency transfers.

Scumbags are charging £20 for a bottle of Dettol on Amazon. I saw it while trying to get a bottle of 70% Isopropyl which I bought for £4.99 a few months back (I prefer the taste to Bells). Now it's £22, the price of a half decent bottle of Scotch. Greedy bastard will force me to buy a nice bottle of Laphroaig.

Anyone who hasn't stocked extra water and food by now, strongly suggest you do it sooner rather than later to avoid death. Lots of empty supermarket shelves in my town. Regardless of the threat from the virus, panic will be the thing that has consequences for everyone.
