7% is probably on the high side. I'm assuming it's a gross/nominal return. Long term real/inflation adjusted average returns are around 5% per year so it's not far off. But if you look over the last 20 years it's probably nearer 3.5%.
My point was more that the maths checks out.

Using the brilliant match tracker over at Swindon-town-fc.co.uk to realise that Chesterfield on Saturday was my 700th live Town (competitive) game. My win rate is 52% which isn't too bad considering how terrible we've been in recent years.

That sounds good Tails. I went on to have a look but seems you have to be registered already. Any ideas? |

I looked at that some years back and decided I had no way of knowing or recalling how many games I've been to, other than a lot. I looked after, a mate who's a bit OCD told me of his number. But he's the sort who notes down this shit and always buys a program. I wonder if Tails is similar  |

Just have to accept that horse has bolted. |

I registered for that site years ago and went back through old games I'd been to (with some help from a parent who also attended). If I wasn't sure I just didn't check it - so its 700 games I'm SURE I've been to |

There's a groundhopper app my mate keeps trying to get me to sign up which does a similar job too (but sorts stats by grounds etc i think). I might get around to it one day. |

I did state you'd need a compound of around 7.5 or 8% to achieve those returns but my issue was sourcing an account that paid at that rate. As you say, 3.4/3.5/3.6% is probably closer to reality. Wasn't questioning the maths per se, just the interest percentage.  |

Finally deleted and destroyed my football manager 2006 install and backups. It’s sad, but quite liberating.
It feels a bit like when I went to the trouble of irrecoverably deleting my Facebook account. I’m finally free of the shackles of a time sink.

How did you do that? Fake email address and unknowable password? |

Exactly. Got fed up of deleting it and accidentally logging in out of habit and making it live again. Just did as below: - String of random characters in notepad for passwords
- Set up new email in yahoo and use that string as password
- Updated Facebook email to yahoo and removed old email/s
- Updated Facebook password to the random string as used for yahoo
- Jump through hoops to delete Facebook
- Log out of everything, clear clipboard and close notepad
- No more Facebook
