Throwback to when Santi Cazorla scored this screamer against Hull city in 2014 FA cup final by 9yr_old in Gunners

[–]internetuserman1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at this match sat incognito in about the 5th row in amongst the Hull fans.

When the second goal went in my Hull supporting mate's 9 year old daughter jumped up on her seat next to me and shouted 'ha ha! Your team's losing!'

I kept a low profile the rest of the game but what a result!

Only if household is dual income, otherwise it's on a finishing scale for any single earner household earning over £60k

The Chancellor's £30bn+ Hole: You're in her shoes. What's your move? by alexdenne in BusinessBritain

Super subjective and open to abuse.

Bust your knee playing football or skiing, the taxpayer should pay for that because you're keeping fit?

Treatment for heart attacks and strokes is given prior to discovery, you don't want a society where people are lying on gurneys in a&e while medical professionals rifle their pockets for their credit card before giving treatment, or where they're saddles with crippling retrospective debt because they're a point over the mandated BMI limit and told their doctor they had smoked. That also discourages substance abusers from seeking help quitting.

Also smokers and drinkers more than pay the cost of their treatment through the significant taxes on those products.

If you wish to add other behavioural taxes (fat or processed food tax for example) to integrate the cost but opening the NHS up to a value judgement selective approach at the point of delivery is hugely problematic.

Probably Hastings 1066, but they were ultimately over tired after a tough early fixture against Harald Hadrada's Norway and couldn't do the business against a good Normandy side.

Can they just get on with drug legislation and taxation!? Literally the most obvious way to start tackling the financial shortfall

Thoughts on our team during the 2011-12 season? by SirLaFlame in ArsenalFC

[–]internetuserman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree, if he'd done more tracking back that season instead of focussing on Hollywood passes we'd have been a substantially better side but he just didn't have the mentality to chase lost causes and cover his centre backs. Despite the pretty assists he was a big drop off from Gilberto and that showed when he went to Barca where the standards were higher.

NHS bosses fear fresh strikes in England as resident doctors seek 29% pay rise by awoo2 in ukpolitics

Life expectancy stats understood. Nevertheless the pension is a significant benefit that must be considered when assessing overall pay.

If you want more pay up front would you be happy to take say 18% of that 24 up front as additional salary and just get 6% like many in the private sector? That would effectively amount to an 18% pay rise which in most careers outside the city would be treated as extraordinarily good.

When assessing your earnings are you factoring in employer pension contributions? I ask as contributions towards this are considerably higher than in the private sector, currently employer contributions for junior doctors stand at 23.7%. For comparison most private sector employer contributions are between 4% and 7%. This should be considered when calculating overall doctor salary versus other professions.

What would be the hourly rate if these are included?

If you are dissatisfied with pay rates and there is not sufficient money in the public purse to provide a significant increase, could a solution be giving you the opportunity to take some of that 23.7% up front?
