    Could go in annoying as well: Swansea reveal one of the greatest football shirts I've ever seen. Ingo might actually buy this.

    I do like it, but it looks like someone left a white shirt in the wash with a blue hankie.

    Having at one stage had £20,000 invested in peer-2-peer loans, my last investment has just repaid in full including interest. Total losses due to unpaid loans just £68.

    This final repayment was nearly two years late and you can't do anything but hope it gets repaid (I got to vote on loan extension terms, but your vote carries about as much weight as it does in a general election), but averaged over 6.5% interest after the relatively small loss.

    So you lend £20,000 at 6.5% interest but with no guarantee of seeing any of it again? I think the interest might need to be higher than that for me to take that risk tbh.

    It’s a Luton kit.

    I went in at the safest end. Some plans were paying double figures. I lost a small percent of my interest, others lost a lot more. I wouldn't do it again though.

    Silver has finally boomed, so my seven year return suddenly looks OK on that.

    I'm a bigger man than that these days, I live and let live. Especially when you see some of shit that I pay money to go see, I need to not be throwing stones.

    Unless it's Coldplay, then you're fair game.

    I got a code. And then forgot to log on this morning as I was busy at work. By the time I remembered they'd sold out.

    I heard a Coldplay song the other day and I had a moment of joy at how long it had been since they'd been in my ears.
    And then the joy was swiftly wiped away by having to hear Coldplay.

    Booked flights to Bangkok for March/April. Will be lovely to get away, and the flights were cheap, but we'll be there for Thai new year so I'm going to actually have to organise stuff as hotels and internal flights will book up fast.
