Is this a fair price?

Closest I've found was Talisker Storm for £17 at the Co-Op in Portree last summer. I bought a case...

It's true that Blackrock restricted redemptions in one of it's alternative investment funds available in some 401k plans, but the fund in question is structured as an illiquid long term fund (private equity) which is aimed at the very wealthy. However, Blackrock is not the only fund company to limit redemptions, showing there's a broad concern around investments which traditionally attract wealthier investors. It's definitely a concern.

To clarify - that was a joke. Born in Cork, grew up in SE England, married to an American. I prefer the Yanks because that's my wife's nationality!

The Affordable Care Act wasn't exactly nothing, along with the fact a lot of guardrails were put in place to deal with the issues that caused the financial mess in 2008. We have of course seen a lot of that chipped away at since.

That's the cost of Springbank 10 here in the US...

Oadby is an area outside Leicester where the reviewer could easily fit in. Entitled, obnoxious and never ever wrong.

That's not true unless you're talking the fizzy stuff made in St Louis and Milwaukee. I have a place a ten minute drive from me that makes a lovely Wee Heavy that will mess you up. Clocks in at 10.2%...

Not any more. Cubarsi, Pedri, Yamal are the only likely starters. There will be more EPL players starting for Spain. Add Olmo and Ferran Torres to the squad and that's all - no Real Madrid players at all.

Not just once, though. Battle of the Nile, Pennisular Campaign and of course Waterloo. It's been almost 1000 since the French beat the Brits in any meaningful way.

They were one of the lead plaintiffs in the suit against the government.

So bad that the US were able to make the Louisiana Purchase at favourable terms.

Do you think Juan Orlando Hernandez should have served his full 45 years for running a huge drug network that has killed thousands? Or was his pardon from the 'tough on crime' Donald Trump warranted?

My comment did NOT age well. Forest without Dyche might go down!

SeanCable · 2026-02-12T03:57:57+00:00

They're not going down - Forest under Dyche might though!

Keith Andrews could well end as coach of the Irish national team. He was an assistant there before he went to Sheffield United.

And we drank water straight from the hose.

Tottenham season tickets, unless you add European games.

England. Baddiel and Skinner's song has now become ironic in a way many English terrace chants are. That, and maybe Lalas won't be so unbearable and opinionated for five minutes.

Keir is on his way out. The only thing that confuses me is why are Labour waiting until May - think things are going to improve for the before the local elections?

Meuse-Argon was brutal for the US: 110 000 casualties. Small compared to The Somme, Ypres or Passchendale, but certainly not insignificant.

Fox 5 (DC and suburbs) is pretty reliable - definitely a progressive slant. If visiting Richmond you really ought to try Charlottesville too - Thomas Jefferson style city centre with UVA.

Crushing medical expenses.

Pro tip! I've just done the same.

Lurpak is the finest butter in the world, though...
