I gave up on having a ni e car though. Until now that is
-
Same! Sacrificed the flash car until I’d traded up to the half a million quid detached... then bought a slightly less sh*t car, but now my comfy retirement is assured
----------------------------------------------------------------------
😂 snap. My wife keeps saying the houses are for the kids (i have 1 and 1 due any day now). My answer - get the little chits save their own money, thats my retirement pot😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly the same boat
My Mrs thinks that because I’ve got another 40 years of working I’ll earn enough to be able to leave them the house... don’t think she realises that I intend to retire in half that time and drink myself to death in a 1 bed apartment in Mijas.

Talking utter rubbish if you think millennials have it easy. Even with that 550 quoted, you have to save that for 5 years to be able to afford a place in London. It is where some of us have grown up and established ourselves- what is so wrong in wanting to stay?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So save it for five years, like a grown up. Or move a bit further out and trade a slightly longer commute to get a bit of equity in a place then move back to a more desirable area when you can afford it. It only seems to be London millennials with this problem...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The commuting fare is a lot. In some cases, better to even stay in London. I managed to buy myself a flat I. Lewisham at 24, but no way will you find me saying it is easy. I’ve been working in property for 5 years and believe me there are a lot of millennials there fighting the good fight. If they do the “grown up” thing and rent as you say, they may as well forget about ever buying.
I meant save. If you’ve got the luxury of living with your folks, which most millennials appear to, then I really don’t think there’s much of an excuse. If you can’t afford to buy in London, for your first property, the you’ve got to be pragmatic. Our parents no doubt had it easier getting on the ladder, but it’s still very easy if you’re smart and are prepared to compromise for that first gaff.
Donald Trump is right occasionally. So is David Icke, and so were Adolf Hitler and Rasputin.
I'd put him in that kind of category.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’d take that as a compliment, you’ve named some of his heroes....
You speak too highly of him Rosso.
In answer to the OP; Sometimes yes, sometimes no, just like the rest of us. But the main difference was that he made pronouncements not opinions, and if you disagreed you were an idiot.
Whatever happened to him by the way. Does anyone know?
It's not with hindsight that I considered Stretty more bearable than Nobb.
I am, of course, a visionary.

I believe he got banned for racially abusing someone. I can't remember though
Stretty on creationism was very funny
He was right mostly, it was his delivery that let him down.

Probably one of the best things I’ve read on here
There has been a nagging, tweaky type, of semi thought at the back of me noggin that suggests that SAF was questioning his family about what the best way to ensure his legacy as 'The Grestest' was sustained.
Mrs Ferguson then pipes up the suggestion that he should bring in "a couple of Brazilian fullbacks and a Spanish keeper, before you go". "It'll take 'em years to recover from that".

The problem with what SAF left us with was that there were ageing greats like Vidic, Giggs, Rio (could also include Rooney and RVP in there) and potential that never lived up tho the hype in Smalling, Jones, Welbeck.
Stretty wasn't the only one that was pointing this out and his lack of any sort of nuanced to the debate was just childish.
I would also add I don't blame SAF for the mess we are in. He did enough for the club that he owes us nothing in regards the squad he left behind. Had he stayed on believe he would have had another rebuild was happening. Rooney would have left for a start.

It was alarmingly hilarious.
I'm pretty sure it was Ji that walked Stretty into a perfect logical contradiction on climate change. Which was then that the creationism came out.
Pure Stretty Gold!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His ability to never back down, and stamina to keep up the argument when all is lost will never be seen again here. The goat.
He made some valid points but the way he made the points were the issue.
We have wasted money in the transfer market since Fergie left.
We have spent close to 600m since he left. The squad does not look like it has had that kind of money spent on it.

That's a fair comment.
I'd add that while Fergie did indeed leave us with some big transitional challenges to solve, I bet he'd have made a much better job of it than his successors. Maybe we'd have had another rebuilding period like we did between the end of the Keane / Ruud team and the emergence of the Rooney / Ronaldo / Rio / Vidic team. (Just think - three seasons of finishing 2nd / 3rd seemed outrageous back then.)
Fergie didn't jump ship leaving a poisoned chalice. First of all, he doesn't appear to have planned to retire when he did. Secondly, he couldn't have conceived that the leadership of the club would be so poor after he was gone.
