The work done by people who keep our streets clean is just as valuable as work done by doctors and the like, so why such a discrepancy in pay - and it's infinitely more valuable than work done by footballers! Redistribute the wealth, I say!!

Afternoon, I'm now officially furious to learn that Wayne Rooney is paid so much
it's so unfair when many elderly people are struggling financially even though they've probably worked all their life then, when they have to go into a Nursing Home, some have to sell their house to pay for their care which can be £1000 a week
this subject annoys me so much that I'll now have to go and look at some of Team GG's dances to calm down

many thanks for the explanation, I knew what a "ringer" was in the Strictly world but had no idea of the original meaning, I learn something new every day in here

Daisy's fine thanks and she's got to wear her collar for ten days. No up on the couch or up and down stairs. She loves running up and down the stairs too 🐶

good grief, you've been busy posting today !
that's nice to hear, I expect she had natural rhythm ... you've either got it or you haven't
pleased to hear Daisy is well, it's such a worry when a pet has to have an operation, when my cat was spayed she had to wear a collar for five days, which she hated, and was quite sleepy after her op then, later in the evening she wanted to go out, and I found her up a tree

I think a shiny suit
and shirt might be too much shiny-ness, maybe when you're wearing the suit, the shirt can be un-shiny, then the shiny shirt can be worn without the shiny suit
btw, I've just had a look at Danny Mac ... who I've never heard of, but looks very nice .... and was wondering if
he is you .... I think the age is about right but I seem to remember you saying you were a similar height to Gio and Danny is shorter than that, so I could be wrong .... let me know
