Not sure what area you are moving to but if it's anyway in the vicinity of TW2, don't use Barans.
Got a quote from them, all OK. Called up again to take it to the next step and the guy (owner I think) started arguing with me about the price he had quoted me a few days earlier. I calmly explained what we had previously discussed but he got quite irate and still maintained I was wrong.
It then turned out he got the names mixed up and thought I was someone else.
OK, easy mistake to make but his whole demeanour and aggressive/argumentative stance put me off.
I've heard from others they are a bit of a law unto themselves as to how they go about things and seem to think they 'run' the show in the area. |

I was last paid in cash in December 1987. For the 3 years in that job I walked down to Abbey National in Portobello Road to deposit some of the cash. The rest I kept, gave my mum housekeeping money and the rest was for me.
New job in January 1988 and they paid straight into my account. That was the start of it for me |

Wasn’t meaning to be, I was just generalising to exaggerate a point. Even in the 80's & 90's I paid a lot of stuff via DD which did a lot of of the heavy lifting. I used cash when going to the pub, football, eating out, paying for petrol, my weekly shop etc and the ATM was visited a lot. But you still need money in the account to then take out cash and that was also my point... you can't take cash from an ATM if your account is frozen.
I was just trying to say in this day and age paying for everything by just cash is pretty difficult and nigh on impossible. [Post edited 9 Sep 18:14]

Unless their contract is almost over, no manager will ever walk as they'd lose out the contract pay-off.
Remember, Jose Mourinho has been paid more money from sacking pay-off's than for actually working. |

Your account could be blocked which wouldn't allow you to draw any cash from ATM's or at a branch so you'd be knackered straight away.
"That isn't possible with cash"
That would only work if you get paid in cash each month and pay absolutely everything by cash, each month. Mortgage, gas, electricity, council tax, water, mobile phone, and anything else that would otherwise be a direct debit/standing order etc and all your shopping would have to be done physically at shops (no bad thing) as online shopping would be impossible so that would affect things like monthly subscription services unless you could find a way to pay those by cash. Same with annual payments such as car insurance, car tax/VED, MoT, home insurance and any other annual payments (unless paid monthly).
Any free time you have would be taken up doing all this, each and every month.
You'd basically be back to living in the 80's & 90's but probably worse because we're just not set up like we were back then to make cash payments so it would be harder to organise and a lot of services we are used to (and probably even rely on) just would no longer be available.

Entering my late 50’s and and lead a fairly vanilla life so if someone in government wants to know what I’m buying at Sainsbury’s or Amazon or how much I’m spending on my mortgage, utility bills, car insurance etc then that’s 10 minutes of their life they won’t get back. |

I was sceptical at first but once I set up Apple Pay it’s quite easy. Just like a card really.
If I’m going somewhere for a long part of the day (i.e a QPR game) then I’ll take my card too just in case the phone battery runs out though I tend to take a power bank as well, cover all my bases!
Edit: oh and I think contactless goes up to £100 and more than that it’s put the card into the machine + PIN whereas Apple Pay is a much higher contactless amount [Post edited 6 Sep 17:41]

Brentford are desperate for a rivalry with us when we are not interested in them at all in the same way we are wanting a rivalry with Chelsea when they don't give a schit about us. |

My missus used to work in retail for a high-end high street jewellers and sending out and following up with these sorts of questions did their head in. They hated doing it because they knew it was pointless and just got ignored.
They knew the customers weren't interested but they were virtually forced to get answers out of them. Yeah, great way to pi$$ off your customer base.

Our home record has been so atrocious the last couple of seasons I've seen just two wins.... Preston right at the end of season before last and Watford at home new years day last season.
My kids don't want to go anymore. That's how much damage it's caused.
I'm not saying we, or any team, have the right to win all the time but fk me, our home form has been abysmal by any standard.

First day back at work after being off for two weeks and schit loads of stuff not done! Some of it quite serious now.
But I still stand by my premise. People seem to think that, for example, footballers are exempt from being human (good or bad) because they're footballers.
Though, IMO, the higher up the pay-scale people go, the worse they are. See the two recent CEO's caught on camera behaving like cnts. |

People are repugnant.
Doesn't matter what job they do (whether being in the post room or the CEO), what country they are from, what their political or religious views are etc etc. |

Not been through all 8 pages so apologies if this is already been said.
My take is the best we can hope for is a season long loan that might include a call-back at any point from Soton. Doubt, at this stage, it’ll be a ‘temp-to-perm’ deal.
He’s played a few games already so is this for them to have one good look at him before deciding whether to hold on to him or let him go, on loan at least or is it they’ve figured he’s OK at Championship level as a result of the loan with us?
If Soton fans are saying he’s way down the pecking order I’m hoping it’s a last look then loan him out, To us preferably. |
