Probably best 'invested' in a lottery ticket.

Perhaps you could donate it to the aeromed nurses tea bar fund?

Just spent my annual payrise on a shiny new iPhone 6 contract (the extra £10 a month just about covers it!).

I wonder what the MPs will spend their 11% pay rise on this coming April - yes, that £7000 a year they awarded themselves must come in so very handy.

I don't think they'll spend their double digit payrise on anything. So many of them said they objected to it I would expect them not to take it or to donate it. You know with an election looming and us all being in it together.

Anyway, I'm off for a half (would be a pint, but you know) with Lord Lucan and Elvis to talk about those flying pigs we all saw this afternoon.

You mean you got it straight away! What about the 9 month deferment that used to be obligatory for Armed Forces pay rises?

I call that an erosion of your Terms and Conditions - we used to cherish our delayed pay rises, is there nothing they won't take in the name of "savings"?

1%... ah well..


A good job I don't live in the block, or in married quarters. A sign that they want people to move out, and live elsewhere..

Just hope they don't start posting people from Lincolnshire to Northern Scotland..

3BB, it's not good. It would be easy for folk to believe that Service Personnel are simply subject to the same "restraint" that everyone else has to put up with in order to fix the Economy. But that would be ignoring the erosion of all the other, very important factors that were supposed to help compensate for the Service issues: housing, separation, etc. The fact that they have been "eroded" too doesn't seem to figure in the analysis. Wonderfully convenient.

FFS don't remind them about that wheeze. It disappeared about the same time the Blair premiership happened (and not cos they liked the armed forces)

A quick calculation, taking into account the rent increase etc, and I reckon I can afford one Oxpat shoe!

Can't comment on cheap women, are there such things?

However the payrise might stretch to "You Suffer"* (Napalm Death) and a bottle of 'Two Buck Chuck'.



*how appropriate.

Cheap women? It's reletive I guess, a lot cheaper to rent them as needed than to marry one only to find out she has a permanent headache.

In which case I'd recommend spending the pay rise on a supply of paracetamol, no excuses then!

I well remember receiving a Pay-rise, which was then totally wiped out by an immediate increase in Food and Accomodation charges; leaving one worse off than before the so-called Pay Increase! tards...

My old dad used to tell me that you could never go too far wrong if you spent all your cash on fast cars and loose women.

Unfortunately, on recalling his advice I got it mixed up a bit.
