As ever, everything depends on your circumstances, final salary, annuity, SIPP etc. rule of thumb is 5% draw down per year though, with controllable investments in low risk like guilt bonds and blue chip dividend stocks.

My opinion, Ashbee was, technically, always just below what you would want in all the divisions he played in - his rate of development was amazing for an older player. In league 2, he was ok for a captain, but we didn't expect him to make the step up to league 1. Then, in league 1, he was ok...

2 Myhill penalty saves and as I recall they had way more shots than us, wasn't that easy, but was a great day out, took my missus for one of her few matches.

Here is something to try that I did with a writing course. Organise a vid call catchup with two old mates, and tell them you will record the call. Have a beer or two, relax and have a good chat. Leave it 24 hours, then go back and try to write down some parts of the conversation. When you are...

I disagree. Kohli is hugely more admirable than Smith. He has a laser focus and is hugely driven, and has dragged his country into a modern age of cricket (notably opening up to all talent, not just the "right sort"). I don't like him in the same way I don't like all successful players of...

Buttler has said repeatedly that he wants to open as it's the easiest place to bat. One golden IPL season aside though, he's not been that consistently great at it - Stokes took over from him this IPL and he was back to be the finisher, I don't see many clamouring for Stokes to open for England...

And at that age too, beating Bernals record set only last year... A few years of cracking racing rivalry ahead?

Maybe Dhoni wanted Pakistan to be knocked out....

If they played, the fans could walk around the pitch with a bed sheet, and fans in the stands could throw coins into it, and then present it to the players at the end of the game. Imagine if a club's fans did that.....

I thought all guitars spontaneously combusted in 2000. Must be some explanation for the shower if sh*te in the charts this millenium.

To hit the group in their 30s, whilst also being recognisable to most: Oasis songs are all pretty easy, they riff around a structure where you can generally plant a finger or two for almost all the song and just move the others - easily observable on songs like Wonderwall and Half the World...

Another contender is Alton Thelwell against Darlo on the season opener in 2003. That was when I knew we'd make it. A premier league "star" who wasn't "ex Manchester United star" David Brown playing for City and scoring a belting half volley.

Stuart Elliot, against Plymouth I think, he just twatted a long ball from miles out and it flew in the top corner, everything he touched was gold that year.

The specifics in this case are a Bolton problem, exacerbated by the chairman, and it would seem the players have every right to strike. Underlying the issue though, and the real problem, is the unrealistic and unsustainable amount of money that flows to players and their agents, who have ever...
