  1. 80% Growth since 2016 - last 2 years been poor and marginal recovery - 2022 reduced 21% drove effectively for free for 5 years bought 2 new wranglers (2019 and 2022) and sold them for the same money i had paid for them
  2. think you caught fortunate there - apparently the buy outs are now 30% lower due to the cost of servicing final pensions being currently lower due to higher gilt rates
  3. I remember folk in a camper van getting broken into in 98 and getting their Brazil tickets stolen - unless that was McArthurs book and was 92 and was Sweden .........memory playing tricks
  4. I would imagine just make sure you have note of sign in ID and password, and can then use someone else's phone
  5. waiting for people losing their phones night before, and not having access to the apps day of the game - or having flat battery etc
  6. 0 success and i chose the expensive tickets - 400 Euro for Germany and 200 each for the others -
  7. my brother got letter last year for car under his name i was driving was regular spot i had parked for 10-15 years when grabbed a beer - then they put up signs which you can't see in dark Sent them a letter with my driving license and address, told them i was driving and address all correspondence to me and denied that signs were visible i was amused they even wasted their time sending 1-2 follow up letters to me in Houston, Texas - not as though i gave them a UK LICENSE - i gave them my Texas Driving License
  8. never used charter - closest i have been was couple buses organised by troops (joe Mcgunigle) to get us from Vilnius to Minsk in 2005 i think it was i like organising my own stuff, to get flights i like, location i like and transport i like
  9. I'm on low points due to being abroad 12 hours flight from Europe this last 12 years, used to be 7-8 pointer out of 10 high points should have got 1st dabs in my opinion
  10. if it is 67 for you now will remain 67 - will only increase for folk past a certain birth date I think re doubling pot in 15 years - really depends on inflation and the PPV - Purchasing Power Value of that money in 15 years - mines has paced around 7.5% per year this last 7 years - 71% increase in 7 years although was 100% at 1 stage ( i stopped contributions on this in 2015 due to switching contracts so easy to track ) financial advisers are salesmen so would take everything they say with pinch of salt (my bias is i worked in Bank 11 years and passed chartered banking exams, and many who didn't pass rolled into being financial advisers + back in the day they were recruiting anyone with no financial background like carpenters - my uncle was successful financial adviser but again his background was selling agricultural equipment in africa and mid east )
  11. you might to to stay in that for 6 months to avoid CGT before you sell it - if rules are same as i recall - saying that is the income on that not better than the interest you would get from cash in savings - unless you just plan to dig into the capital
  12. same have spent thousands - but just not this last 12 years due to being living on tip of Africa, and then Texas - think has 12 years of only missing 2 away matches prior to that
  13. you tick what you want to order - ie 400 Euro's and you can end up with that level or 1 level up or down
  14. i was also thinking on what you would theoretically be willing to pay a tout i remember France 98 scots were offering me GBP 750 for my Brazil ticket, and people were hunting after tour agencies let them down - there was a Czech ticket tout we seen around a few matches regular + i think we also seen him in Czech in 99 Also i think this ticket app will stop locals buying tickets to sell - i remember in Lyon there was locals lining approach to USA v Iran match selling tickets - similar in Marseille for Italy v Norway there were unsold tickets cos locals thougt they would make money off
  15. only goes up 1 or down 1 from the base level you applied for
  16. depends how many points you have - if less that 12 some folk will accept that - and likely saved the monehy by not going on trips
  17. can you not play some events in scotland on bagpipes, and charge small fee - and then offset your flights against your tax ? sure i have heard of something similar in Canada before
  18. I think that is correct - Estonia or 3 of the games - I covered both bases due to Latvia/Estonia being my 1st real away trip, and being in Sweden and Monaco (spent week there Daily Express Easyjet flgihts )
  19. there was some cunning plans in 98 - i might need to go down that route, i got 3 tickets in 98, but also got offered ticket for Morocco from another source - sure that is still available based on how FIFA/UEFA are set up
  20. get any radio station in the world http://radio.garden/visit/houston-tx/CboUxFwk
  21. I'm fancying retiring at age 55 - 52 just now - original plan was 52 but ended up in USA for 4 years from Cape Town - relocating back to Scotland next year 6 Months in Scotland and 6 Months in Cape Town is plan occupy time in Scotland with helping brother on his farm or Scotland trips (built up 670K KLM Airmiles so should be good for 30 trips) CPT time spent on razzle or driving aboot in my Defender 110 which has a roof tent certainly need something to occupy time
  22. prices feel cheap compared to back in day - 1989 - 34 years ago i was paying GBP 2.80 in Sweden (might been 3.80) - hours wage, and round of beers for 5 was days wage
  23. what is the real time for the fight ? I'm in USA but can work it out
  24. just ignored them - wasnt even like managers or anything
