I'd obv do a bit more calculation, but would nearly be tempted to opt out of pension to have the relative certainty of my contributions going to my own pension rather than sunk into a politically-adjustable future state pension.

Is there some poker night in uni btw? Haven't decided whether it would be too socially awkward to play, but wondering if the option is there.
Yeah, I think it's on Tuesdays. Hasn't started back yet though I think.

Rob O'Connor to PokerStars
4:25 PM (0 minutes ago)
Hi,
Can you ask Liv Boeree to stop emailing me. I thought with my constant ignoring of her emails that she might get the picture but some women are persistent. I'll give her a call if things change, but for now I'm not interested. While I do like to hear about Pokerstars events from time to time, daily emails from her give me the creeps and I may have to take out some sort of restraining order.
Thanks,
Rob.

Looking at the RWC extra time rules it's 10 minutes each way extra time, then 10 minutes golden score, then a kicking competition.
Really really want one of these knockout games to go to the kicking competition, was gutted I was out of TV range for the Cardiff / Leicester one a few years ago.

It depends on the food I'd imagine.
Opera for Italian
Rock for steaks and the like done on the grill
Clannad for a stew
BBQ bluegrass
Seafood Air/Moby
A classic bouillabaisse, for example, is likely to taste better to a soundtrack of Georges Brassens.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Safety razors have a moderate initial outlay, but are a lot better IMO, and the blades are practically for free.
Still, I wasn't aware of the option to get much cheaper blades on Henry Street, and will definitely grab some from there next time I'm in town, the cartridges are convenient when travelling for sure.

But you get far fewer shaves from a multi blade disposable because of all the guck that gets stuck in the gaps.

I'm sure all you Arrested Development fans have heard the show is now coming back for a limited run and a movie but I found this post and especially the last line of it pretty funny
‘Arrested Development’ creator Mitchell Hurwitz announced at a film festival in New York yesterday that the show would return for one more season (though it’s not clear what network will air it) to update the lives of the characters since the show went off the air 5 years ago, then film a movie. It will be a whole new opportunity for dim witted dipshits to say they dont get it and then watch ‘Big Bang Theory’."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)
