He's got a few quid in his pockets too. More than I ever earned in a year. Good luck to him.

£60k prize money although he’s got management fees, travel and accommodation to come out of that…not to mention the tax man will want his share

He’ll go to Q school in January to try and qualify for a tour card

Write off as much of that expense against tax as you can before the taxman gets his hands on any of it. If his management aren't helping with his financials, he either needs new management or I can recommend a good accountant that charges £400/yr if he classes himself as a sole trader or a bit more if he classes himself as a limited company and pays himself "a dividend" every month/year. He'll likely pay less tax on the latter if he's going to be earning in the 6 figures, which would seem likely.

Sports folk, musicians etc with what you might call "unreliable income" can spread their gains/losses over a few years to minimise the tax pain from a big year of earnings against the lean years that may prevail either side. That and stick what you can in a good pension scheme. You get tax relief added to that.

Some folk in Brum thought they could see the Northern Lights last night, despite all the snow and clouds. Turned out they were trying out some new LED lights at St. Andrews. Laugh

Further update on the health of Mitzi for you.

She has completed the course of chemotherapy therapy and is feeling much better than when all this started. Yesterday we went for the results of the last scan and whilst the the chemo has got rid of most of the cancer unfortunately there is still cancer in one particular area and despite the chemo it has actually grown since the scan before. This as you can imagine is quite a hefty blow to us.

We have now been referred to a specialist in Leeds and it seems any further chemo or radiation treatments won’t do the trick. It looks like CAR-T cell therapy is our only option, yet more tough months ahead of us.


RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 17-01-2026

Oh no. Wish you both the best of luck and hope the new treatment goes well. Sad

Oh just one step forward and two back. I hope this new treatment works for Mitzi. All my bits are crossed for you both.

Jack Hunt released by Stockport after his two month contract ran out.


RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 21-01-2026

The Hef has a new job. Assistant to Sabri Lamouchi for the Tunisian national team.

I think he was the one who signed Hef for Nottingham Florist.
