Transfer Rumours Saint Martin!

Yep. We just like to take our time announcing things. People seem to want to moan about nothing. We don't take longer then anyone else signing players. We just take oir time announcing it. We like to have a interview etc all done to post when the signing is announced, other teams don't.

 

Luxury.

 

Another issue, in the latter years, has been the easy access to credit, and the apparent lack of stigma attached to owing several thousands of pounds.
Obviously not everyone is the same, but there is a large proportion of people who run up debts, buying "must have" new cars/technology, then struggle to repay them and put money aside for deposits on houses, etc.

 

So very true............

 

Give him number 6.

 

Agreed. If he turns out OK and we keep him, job done. Otherwise he'll be off in the summer and we can replace him.

Yes, I kept a straight face while I typed that!

 

So the ball appears to follow him around.*

I know that a 6 month is far and away the most sensible option but it would just typical if he were to flourish and decide to f*** off in the summer when we try to sign him on a longer contract It would be good if we had a first option after 6 months, just in case he is the second coming!

 

Sorry, but you oldies on here speaking nonsense.

House prices have gone up at a staggering rate, meaning they are much more unaffordable to your average joe nowadays than they were to you.
The gap between average wage and average house prices has been on the rise for decades:

Sorry, but this patronising "we worked harder than you" which I see all the time, is simply nonsense. You had it easier, fact.

 

Ooooh, I can see this one running ...............

 

...but hopefully not on this thread! Please go to Only Joshing or Politics if you want to continue this conversation!

 

Yes, Mr short attention span here thought we'd signed Martin Lewis from moneysavingexpert.com instead of a (once) pacy CB.

 

And if you question them on it, they will reply;
'You have to live for the day, whats the point of living if you can't holiday ect.......'
I married one, and it does my head in!

 

Hang on, are you suggesting there is no room for a "Housing prices and inflation thread" ?

 

......and there lies the problem.........We didn't work harder..........never said we did....... we just thought about things differently. If you compare a single wage in comparison then yes I would agree with statistics. two wages coming in though.........Shouldn't be so hard. However as per usual with younger generations they do not think we "oldies" know anything. I guess the next generation from them will be saying something similar....and so it goes on!!

 

I don't think we worked harder...just that we played less. People have a longer childhood now....getting bladdered in your late twenties and thirties is ridiculous. That's the sort of thing you used to grow out of in your early twenties. ....unless you were an alcoholic. And pop concerts (festivals) were for kids. Absolutely fine if you choose to enjoy your youth...makes a lot of sense, but don't criticise older people able to enjoy their retirement because they were buying homes and raising kids in their twenties. As I said, make your choice.

 

I think a lot of us feel the same. But as he is joining us at a fairly precarious time, if he does well then decides not to stay, I'll take that on the chin.
