OI - I fully intend to. I'm one of the few people who knows exactly what happened and is prepared to tell the truth about it.

Welcome back. I hope you will have significant input into the independent election report, if you can face it.

All that stuff around the election got a bit intense. I just needed a bit of headspace, particularly as I've been busy at work.

Don’t apologise! You haven’t signed the wup posting frequency code of conduct.

Trig - Yeah sorry. I've been taking a bit of a breather after all the excitement around the election. It's also been hellish busy at work. But I'm back in the game now.

Mav’s back!

Paddington - I've seen tougher nuts in a bag of bombay mix.

Evans has been on the pen apparently.

Padds - being scottish, headbutts are in the genes. 😉

Steve Evans looks an even tougher nut now he's lost several stone. He looks as if his first inclination would be to headbut you.

La Liga budget setting revolves around a strict Salary Cap (Límite de Coste de la Plantilla Deportiva - LCPD), calculated by subtracting a club's non-sporting expenses from its total revenue, ensuring financial sustainability and preventing overspending. Clubs propose budgets, which La Liga approves, with the limit dictating how much they can spend on player salaries and transfers; exceeding it triggers restrictions, like only reinvesting one-third of new income, though recent reforms aim for a minimum spending threshold.

An enforced business plan could be a good thing.

REPD The Nelson now uses that portal when using the standard NHS app to book an appointment. Worked very well for me.

Stu - I wonder what impact the Football Regulator will have on these sums of money? Also Financial Fair Play rules (hahahaha).

Really concerned me that the word sacrosanct was used around fan-ownership. The club has been in existent in many disguises for 136 years and only 23 of those have been under fan-ownership. How anyone says fan-ownership is sacrosanct when saying that owners in L1 put in around £6m a year is crazy. I have always said we made the impossible, possible, however sometimes the impossible can’t happen as money don’t grow on trees around PL and to survive in the football world ypu do have to do what everyone else does.

Morning all. Top tip for GP appointments - don't use AskFirst app, but use the Accurx Patient Portal...

DunDonald - you are correct. Private chats suggested £3000 a year, but that was toned down as it was thought it would frighten people away, and PLB with a one-off became the theme. :o)

Keefy - that’s great news 🎉 I’m just back from my appointment - referred for “urgent” ultrasound, so will let you know how quickly that comes through… 😬

Interesting Al, thanks, none from the shanklin ,sandown lake area which is my preferred areas.

Re yesterdays GP surgeries chat. Went online yesterday to ask for a non urgent face to face appointment. Phone call this morning and have 9am app on the 22nd. All is forgiven Nelson Med centre.

Apologies for the adverts on that site. Story may be covered in other places. Essentially there’s a big row going on in Cameroon about who’s in charge of their national team and at the moment they have two completely separate national squads claiming to be the ones who will compete at AFCON.

Spit , in regard to GP surgeries, whilst I have a good relationship with Newport Health Centre, it doesn't rate well, quite a large churn of staff there, but probably the biggest one toi, so might be a factor. Wootton, speaking to friends seems to have a lot of positive views. Might be a factor in selecting a house to move to, for you going forward.

I don't remember the £3,000 per year bit. People were talking about a one-off £3,000 towards the stadium, and that turned into the PL Bond.
