So it appears May is going to ask the EU for a short delay, with the option of a 2 year delay. The short delay would be allow her to put her deal back to Parliament. If it fails, or Bercow says she can't put it to the vote again, then we trigger the 2 year extension and carry on with this...

And obvious ;)

"Here is a turd" "I don't want the turd" "You fucking traitor. I went to a lot of trouble to get you the turd. Take it" "I will not" [later] "I got you something" "Is it a turd?" "Yes, but I also have a piece of paper with the words 'THIS IS NOT A TURD' written on it"

I don't think I'd change too much with regards to pension provision. The only financial thing I'd change would be to overpay my mortgage each month. It's astonishing how much an extra £100 a month makes on the mortgage term. As for your current pension, you should be able to check how it's...

Be very, very careful with Pension recycling. You could be hit with a very large tax bill if you don't meet all the criteria.

Yes I was pleasantly surprised by the amount. A couple of ex colleagues who were also in the same scheme were offered less, but they were older than me. It was still a huge decision to make because the pension at 65 wasn't that bad.

My FS pension was going to pay me £10.5k pa when I reached 65. The figure I received for taking the funds out of the FS scheme was 43 times the pension I would have received. It's only been invested for 13 months but it's already grown by 8% so I'm fairly pleased. I intend to to the full 25%...

The rule of thumb regards portfolio risk is - Cautious - 50% Fixed Interest, 30% Cash and 20% Stocks and shares. Moderate - 40% Fixed Interest, 10% Cash and 50% Stocks and shares. Adventurous - 25% Fixed Interest, 5% Cash and 80% Stocks and shares. My SIPP is invested in a pretty Cautious way.

Don't worry, only a small percentage is in shares. The rest is in cash and bonds. It's also a managed SIPP so less risk involved. I've taken plenty of advice of the past 18 months and the SIPP is part of my pension provision. I also have a Stakeholder pension and also contribute to a company...

That's not completely true. If your pension is in a SIPP and you die before you're 75, your wife/partner gets the whole pot, tax free. I'm 55 next year and have just moved a final salary pension into a SIPP. I intend to drop a day a week next year and retire completely when I'm 60. I've been...

Yep :bag:

Luciana Berger, or is she a bit obvious?

Such sad news. RIP Gordon.

The joke shop that was near the Odeon was the one I remember. Like Tommy, we used to drop stinkbombs in the Owen Owen lifts. The best drop was when I was at school (Caludon Castle). School concert just before Christmas, I was doing some singing. 3 of us walked around the main hall just before...

Just for all you pervs with an interest in Louise Minchin's legs

Definitely.

3 scenarios. We either leave with no deal. Article 50 is retracted and an election called. Or the EU blink first and there is a deal done on the NI Backstop. If she loses the vote tonight then things will get very interesting. The Tory machine isn't the fastest moving thing around. A leadership...
