Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Exactly
By the time you have paid half the mortgage and counted your pension funds you're surprisingly very wealthy. Especially if you bought only a few years ago and the house value increased at the same time.

Still can't blame the player. The fat cat boss of the club might be a more suitable target.

When it comes to sports people's pay footballers really are in a world of their own. It's really the TV money that allows the huge pay of the footballers. I pay £90 a month to Sky and never watch a minute of football.

Cricketers at the highest level in the UK get paid well, but much of that comes from endorsements rather than their set salary. If they do well they get more sponsorship, they get dropped by England those companies soon stop knocking on their door. Your average county player who is 25 years old will earn a lot less and their career is probably over at the age of 30 if they are a bowler.

I haven't had a pay rise for 3 years despite MCC doing really well and selling out all our major matches. Instead the Club are paying a fortune to have the ground redeveloped and as I'm also an Associate Member of MCC I just had to pay £300 for my subscription too. However a full Member of MCC only pays about £600 a year, for that you can come to both Tests, the ODIs, the County final, all Middlesex games and every other match at Lord's of which there are loads. Compare that to the price of a Chelsea or Arsenal season ticket and it's a bargain!

Ill again, or perhaps its still the bug i had on the run up to Christmas?

Weird nauseous sensation, combined with lightheadedness and very unpleasant hot flush and sweats this morning. Fell asleep on the sofa at lunch time today. Been having these nauseous sensations the last few days, but only a couple of times a day, most weird and unpleasant.

I'm no medical expert but it sounds like the virus may have lead to labrynthitis, a problem with the inner ear. I had it, and it let me feeling like I'd had too much booze, room spinning, sick and really horrible. Often happens after a cold or other lurgy.

Could be, although I suffered with similar symptoms earlier this year. But wouldn't surprise me, as I do have problems with my right ear

If it gets really bad a combination of Stemetil and SERC which are an anti emetic and an antihistamine that increases blood flow to the inner ear can really help.
