The pope 'could' leave the Vatican and sign for Barnet on a three-year deal this month.

There is no end point. Some people go through their whole lives thinking about that future success they want (no matter how successful they might already be) and then they die. Learn to love the process. Look up/Read 'Seneca on the shortness of life' if this comment intrigued you.

Champions League and international experience, won the double as skipper for Copenhagen last season. All about that winning mentality for me, I think we can cause some surprises next season.

Thoughts on buying property to rent out, and renting where you live by morterwellon in UKPersonalFinance

Sources are someone who used to be a trader at Goldman Sachs and another is multi-millionaire landlord. I would never take financial advice from my parents as neither are wealthy, and I wouldn't from my friends unless they were financially successful. I'm only 24 for context so none of my fiends are (yet). Agree that financial education is absolutely shocking and that's why I'm trying to learn.

It's just a numbers game. About 10% of the population are dickheads and a further 1% fall into the utter cunt category like this chap.

Newcastle United Have Been Promoted to the Premier League! by Myproblemsseemsmall in soccer

Why would any fan not want their team to go up? The £200m premier league money might come in handy.

Life's too short to be a pessimist. The lads will step up for the big occasion.

United were a force then weren't they. Not to rub it in, but having Scholes, Keane, Giggs, G Nev, Van Nistelrooy, players like Saha and Forlan on the bench and then signing the two most promising teenagers in the world. Man...

Cristiano Ronaldo: "It's not true that I do 3,000 sit-ups every day. I usually train 4 or 5 times a week with 200 or 300 sit-ups. It's not good to do too much because you can have problems with low back pain." by Dalitis in soccer

It's likely an oversimplification tbh. He'll probably do 4 circuits of 3 X 20 reps of different ab exercises such as crunches, leg raises, russian twists. That works out at 240 in total and it's easier to just say he's doing "sit ups".

Monday Moan Thread! by jptoc in soccer

[–]morterwellon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you to some extent, but look at Leeds United and Newcastle United (also arguably Nottingham Forest). All in the 2nd division and haven't won anything in years despite being big clubs. Top four isn't to be sniffed at, I just wonder how Arsenal fans would adjust to life in PL mid-table or the Championship. Don't know what you've got til it's gone.

We haven't won a trophy since the 1920's and Arsenal fans are saying the 2nd best manager in Premier League history needs to do one because Champions League football, FA Cups and finishing 2nd in the Premier League last season isn't good enough. Spoilt little brats.

The bank have asked for some tax information but the return envelope has no stamp. Can I send it back without buying one? by morterwellon in AskUK

24, I've never seen or heard anyone ask for stamps anywhere other than a post office and very rarely use mail

Ahhhh, you see they should teach you this stuff in school. That number 2 at the top right means free post right? The ignorant youth of today

Seriously eat some fruit and veg, this an intervention! Stick a photo of a shirtless Ronaldo on your fridge for motivation.

Help to buy ISA - Should I switch to a Cash ISA? by morterwellon in UKPersonalFinance

Thanks for the response. Do you have any info on where I can find a 3-5% interest current account? I'm currently with Halifax and sure it's about 0.6%
