Reply | Pensions Advice
at 07:13 6 Oct 2025
JH, I retired last year as an adviser of 37 years standing. So I cannot give you advice anyway but I’ll give you a few facts and my opinions.
If the schemes are deferred benefit arrangements or as most people know them, final salary schemes, then take the benefits when they are due, you will not gain anything by deferring them. You could request an enhanced lump sum through the accelerated pension rules which could greatly enhance your lump sum but will reduce your pension by a factor of £12 of lump sum for £1 of pension, this will have the benefit of potentially reducing your tax liability in the future and enabling more of your benefits now and as someone has already said, you don’t know when your sell by date is. This also should not effect the eventually spousal pension should your missus survive you.
If the pension is a defined contribution scheme, (personal pension rules usually), then depending on the value of the pension you could access the whole funds under triviality rules, although anything above the TFC will be liable for income tax, wherever you declare it. Take it if you need it, don’t take it if you don’t as the chances of a greater return over the longer term is much better than taking the funds and sticking it in some deposit account.
If you need any further ‘opinion’ then PM me. |

They had the Gorkyrys money and spent it wisely. The lad from Wimbledon, Rudoni, they got from Huddersfield who had got him from under our own noses is a great purchase and really impresses me when I see him play. Hopefully now we will in Kone have our own Gorkyrys and kick in when sold. |

The feed I was watching went down after about 10 minutes so switched to the Brizzle one. Will say their commentator on I think is called RobinsTV was as monotoned as they come and seemed not to know half our players. Plenty of pregnant pauses. Switched back to the QPR feed just before they scored but listening to Tyler, he is so good it is almost a radio commentary. And he certainly does his homework on the opposition beforehand. |

Just been on their forum and from the moment Sincs came on they were, well, not too complimentary about the lad. Shame really because I thought his 30 minute cameo was fantastic. £2million. Nourry warrants a medal for that sale! |

If you was told that after 8 games Rangers would be:
- 10th in the league, point off fourth place
- only had lost two games
- won twice at home
- unbeaten in four at home
- had a couple of decent forwards
Would you have taken it? |

Heard a quote from the Brighton owner who said that Tom Bola is his favourite customer as he always overpays on everything he sells him! And took Potter off his hands for a fair few million too! |

Reply | Owl be seeing them in League One Sheff Wednesday Vs QPR match Thread
at 20:23 27 Sep 2025
Wednesday won’t be the worst team we would have played this season, in fact they looked better than Wrexham. Throw in that they are playing as if their life depended on it in the face of Chansiri and off the back of their first win. They ran Leicester close on the opening day and if Bannan got a red card that game I suspect that they could have gained a point. Pederson has got them well
organised and fair play to them. Given their predicament in a financially perverse sport I hope the players do the club justice unlike those at North Battersea who thankfully made my evening. Problem is that because of their troubles everyone thinks that playing them will be a roll over. I’m happy with a point because QPR 24-25 version would have lost that. We are still very much learning as a team ourselves. |

Well done to Robert Elms. My dearly missed Mum was also a Freeman, for which she was very proud to be, and a proper cockney born within the sound of Bow Bells. For her 80th birthday I got here a place on the annual Woolman’s Guild Sheep Drive, which allowed her to drive a flock of sheep across London Bridge, which as a Freeman Robert Elms also now has that right to do.
I love the history of our great city and Peter Ackroyd, who is quoted at the top of Robert Elms’ book has written some stunning books on its history. All worth the read. |

Meet him on two occasions. Firstly at a sportsman’s lunch when we were the first to arrive, apart from Dickie of course, he was in the kitchen getting a cup of tea, stood and had a lovely chat with him before the numbers increased. And secondly at a book signing. Went into Waterstones to get another book around 7pm and there was Dickie, still sat at his table with a few books left and nobody to talk to. Spent another half an hour chatting away and of course bought his book, two I think, one for my Dad. What a lovely and very charming gentleman he was. Never forget the Saturday of the Lords test in 1976 when there was a bomb scare. Thousands sat with him on the outfield, and Dickie was there making sure nobody ventured onto the pitch.
RIP Dickie, and thanks for the chats. |

And mat I add to this his heading ability. Given his height the number of times he out jumps players much taller than him. And every time he gets fouled he gets up with a big smile on his face. Love the lad, best signing of the summer as he brings a natural enthusiasm that you can see affects the rest of the team. |

Bastárd!!!! I’m turning my toes at 95 years 10 months and 15 days. 10th March 2062. Better start arranging the funeral now I suppose! Anyone want the remaining games on my season ticket for the 61/62 season? Leg room is still cramped! |

When raising the state pension age the government by law would have to give a minimum of 10 years notice to those who it would effect. So you’re ok. |

Sold my financial services business last year at the age of 58 and then spent a year accompanying advisers to meet my old clients. Very humbling experience to say the least. Bought a house six months ago on the south coast near the Solent and have spent the summer doing the place up, new bathrooms, new flooring and a whole load of decorating. And not needed to live in it whilst the work has been done. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, accompanied by the radio and the odd tradesman and today is moving in day. Still some work to do but that’ll see me through the autumn.
Pop into London for the R’s, a bit of Shakespeare and a few lunches with friends. Have I missed my career? Not one jot. Looking forward to hopefully a long, happy and healthy retirement. |

Thread | A Couple of Things From Yesterday
at 07:59 14 Sep 2025
One positive one not.
During the Coventry match the number of times one of our players in space collecting a high ball just headed it aimlessly without any thought, with Verane being the main culprit. Yesterday it wa as delight to see players literally passing their headers to each other even under pressure from an opposing player. This made such a difference in ball retention.
But my. Biggest bug bare remains. Every player back for corners. It just invites further pressure and allows the opposition a further bite of the cherry. Wrexham twice threatened to score from our corners, as Preston actually did and I think Coventry also by leaving players on the half way line. Given that we now have plenty of speed in the team, a quick ball out to the flanks and players like Burrell, Saito and Dembele will revel in the chance of one on ones with opposition defenders. Also less players in the penalty box must surely give the keeper more chance of getting the ball.

Tom Bola and the rest of the SS self reported after the war criminal left. Therefore they have admitted their guilt and no doubt this will be taken into mitigation and consequently we will be deducted points, fined another £20million and LR closed for six months. That’ll teach them!
In all seriousness any fine should be akin to ours based on the value of the club. I doubt very much they’ll get a points deduction as it doesn’t fit with the PL in terms of ‘the most exciting league in the world’ |
