    Would you prefer "this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."?

    I think this sort thing is more in the spirit 🐏

    We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender

    Or perhaps Henry V

    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother.

    And gentlemen in England now a-bed
    Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

    Of course, what few company pension schemes are left hold hardly any British shares, so that particular cash cow has gone to the knacker's yard.

    I always thought that was a very short sighted move. πŸ’΅πŸ’΅

    What I find infuriating is that the basic tax relief for us ancient crincklies hasn't changed in years, and isn't likely to for a while. The state pension is not taxed at source and is set against the basic tax allowance. It has now risen to the point that it now exceeds the tax allowance.

    The effect of this is that I am now on a K tax code, i.e., negative tax relief on my company pension.

    Happy days. Enjoy your retirement.

    Personal tax allowance is frozen until 2028 😩

    I was alway very careful to provide for my old age, it was the tax efficient thing to do, I never factored in that they would freeze the personal tax allowance.

    Carlisle are a professional club and they are professional players and coaches, if anything they'll be extra motivated to at least make a mark, for pride, defiance, etc.

    We should be able to overcome that, but I fully expect a last "show them you can play" effort that just wouldn't be there if they had their last game with nothing on it.

    I’m quite happy for Carlisle to show us they can play as long as they don’t show us they can score 🐏🐏🐏
