Off to Stratford tomorrow to the RSC. I have a ticket for āPericlesā, matinee.
The āover 65sā tickets are stunningly good value. They beat Oasis tickets into a cocked hat and NO surge pricing ā¦
PS - even the ābestā seats are nowhere near Oasis ticket prices. The RSC!
PPS - for younger bods, there are āstandingā tickets for a mere Ā£10. One can pretend to be an Elizabethan fashionista, parading and heckling (maybe not so much the heckling ā¦). Oasis ā¦pah!
I am an old codger but the earliest price I remember is 22p for a pint of decent draught beer - local pub, well outside London, 1977-78.
It seemed quite affordable on evenings/regular basis then but perhaps our priorities were just different? 
There is definitely inflation to consider but the cost per pint versus spending power of the working class has certainly went against our wallets over the decades.
You see footage from a century ago and the poor miners and factory workers all crammed in to pubs for an evenings entertainment on a whim.
Thats just not affordable now for average joe.
Itās crazy you actully ask a proper question
in topics about that said topic get no responce then say one slight thing that the snowflake fks canāt handle and they flag youā¦
They can flag here if they want but shockers to you itās called down time drival where you csn just speak about anything
Iām starting to get so pissed off with these fking flagging idiots man
I keep saying we need to get FT to ban people who abuse the flagging system. Not sure how to get that message across to FT though given that they are neither interested in their customers nor their forum!
Exactly man and I get I go off on tangents I have mental health issues etc and I donāt even realise that I go off.
I try to give input to stocks etc but I donāt exactly have a massive knowlage like everyone else does.
I like to join in though even though I donāt understand everything but isnāt that why weāre on here to share and learn from each other.
So what if someone goes slightly off topic just scroll why it if it effects you thst much.
All comments on the forum (other then those grossly offensive or otherwise overstepping the rules) should be welcomedā¦and not flagged out of pettiness.
FTā¦perhaps flagging could be controlled a little betterā¦like 2 flags from seperate (non-mods) before it is hidden?
If something is wildly off topic there are moderation tools to address that (ie move it). If its not moved it should be assumed relevant. Unless you are a moderator, you are NOT a moderator. So leave it!
If you simply dont like someones take on things, skip on by.
And for what its worth @Kiava I personally feel that you are a key contributor to this forum and appreciate you sharing your stories and thoughts on here.
We need more engagement, and more tolerance for the diversity of thought!
Exactly Bob and also thanks hopefully one day I can be as technical as everyone else. I just havenāt been keeping up with my pod casts, news yahoo etc lately just need to get back on it again.
Hopefully burbbery can pull their finger out to save our factory
You know Kiava, it is amazing to learn technical data, charts, balance sheets, all of it. If you want to thatās great.
Btw, I understand absolutely NONE of that, but respect those that do. And I see great value in it.
My personal conviction is that sentiment, opinion and understanding the world we live in and where it will go next is every single bit as importantā¦and in my opinion even more so.
For that reason, I believe every conversation, every opinion and every take on every part of life is excellent research into the markets.
Ultimately we are emotional humans who share similar interests and fears to millions of others, and to understand opinion and gather it from a wide array of sources is every bit as valuable as any technical analysis.
In short, human sentiment and opinion moves markets, so every opinion is valid and helpful to any investor. And therefore every opinion should be welcomed and valued on FT. It is ALL relevant.
Yes I agree although I was starting to learn valuations etc in the past the easier path of course is to just snp500 and all world etc it and sit back and relax.
Like you said hearing what people are experiencing around the world, pod casts, small clips and listening to parliament has been the OK for me to buy shares or sell.
I rarely sell tbh as I just want to hold but I had to reshuffle the portfolio and for now itās less stress and I happier with it now.
For rio though I have an idea as I have watched it for ages and I feel itās good to just wait till it drops buy low sell high and I think that would be the only stock I have I would do that with as its pretty predictable to a certain extent, be it you canāt really day trade but you can monthly or 3 monthky trade it on the cycles and keep up with the news.
Rios big and the issue is all the protests about the mining in all itās mines around the world etc but for now it seems good I hope haha
We should all have our own thoughts, taking account of what we learn from those around us. (Choose for yourself what has most value). The more you listen to everyone (not just those that claim special knowledge) the more you learn about life.
Just remember money is a game, the stock market is a game, life is a gameā¦and in reality not a single person knows the rules.
Keep talking, respect and support each other, we are all in this game together
