    RUN!

    I might give it the libertarian chat but really that's a thinly veiled cover for my true desire to be the tyrant. And as soon as I develop my death star, I will be.

    Just imagine if we could get something to wipe-out the old asset rich financial liability pensioners, creating an economic boom from the sudden cash flow, tax revenues and housing availability that would cascade down the generations as a result. Like a novel virus that predominantly killed that demographic. Ah well, I can but dream....

    Not really in my trade tbh.

    We were weighing up how to get a thermal through the business too! Summat to do with hotspots on radiators or something. Blockages maybe? Anyway, yeah it's going through! I expect the only 'hotspots' it'll be finding will be in 6 inch of wheat stubble at 2 in the morning!

    I've got a mate putting 12 grands worth of hunt bike through his plumbing business! Wellies, coats, checker plate boxes, all sorts. Fair fucks, I've no desire to stop it, at all. But I'll not be crying with him when he has to get his accountant to shuffle the books a few years in advance to impress a mortgage lender. That's all.

    I've never seen this before but it'd be really interesting to see what the typical spend on recreation is as a percentage of income over the generations. I'm not saying we shouldn't be aiming to have our cake and eat it (progress) but only if it's actually achievable and not at the expense of other important things.

    Only in as much as I'd like to be on similar tax terms as the self employed lads.
  9. Born Hunter
    Absolutely. Suddenly those self employed lads officially on 15k a year, but actually pulling in excess of 50 start needing to shuffle their books about in advance. I'm not exactly overwhelmed with sympathy, lol, but yeah there's a different angle to the one I have lived that should be considered in all this. Fundamentally I probably agree that if you work full time then you should be able to have a pleasant and secure standard of living without having to break the law. I have limits on that but generally I agree with that ideal. I just wonder if the 90s was such a prosperous time that

    The housing market is totally bonkers and clearly unsustainable. Yet so are the attitudes of those that 'can't afford' a house. It's broken at both ends. The 90s seemed to be our peak. And we all expect to be able to continue having our cake and eating it like we did in the 90s.

    I've had a few mortgages now and never had to answer anything particularly invasive. Frankly the biggest c**t of it all was having to pay a mortgage adviser to get me to the front of the queue for the mortgage I had already picked with the lender I was already mortgaged with...

    Just give Mogg a go. Just for the experience like. The riots and socialist counter swing would be worth it.

    So what the f**k does that have to do with the cost of food in Russia. Lol
  14. Born Hunter
    So you've been for a shop in f***ing Moscow have you? LOL
  15. Born Hunter
    No, you said there food was cheaper than before sanctions. Russian inflation is expected to be higher than ours. The rubble hasn’t stopped that! Where have you got 40% inflation for food from? It’s estimated at 15%. Whereas in Russia it was spiralling so much the gov had to cap it.
  16. Born Hunter
    Per kilo! Who buys that shit buy the f***ing kilo!? I haven't noticed anything particularly mental about the price of actual butter.
  17. Born Hunter
    You said food had gone down in Russia since sanctions and it's just nonsense. Sanctions haven't crippled Russia, and there are several dimensions to that, but I never claimed they had anyway.
  18. Born Hunter
    Dare I ask if you have anything more substantial than a FB post to support that? A fortnight ago the governor of the Russian central bank was on record at a conference estimating inflation at 14%!
  19. Born Hunter
    Fuel prices have nothing to do with Russia. It’s about the only thing that hasn’t been sanctioned by those that actually need Russian oil. Food isn’t cheaper in Russia. They’ve literally enacted price caps to control the spiralling cost. They might be self sufficient in grain production but that needs processing and for that they need to import materials which they are being restricted on. The biggest hurt they’re feeling is loss of hardware and lack of components to rebuild tech of all kinds. Their component supply chains are heavily from the west.

    How are we suffering?
  21. Born Hunter
    Nah, but I didn't spend hundreds every month on booze like 99%, so I could at least afford to feed myself.
  22. Born Hunter
    Ya not selling it to me!
  23. Born Hunter
    You didn't think about running and starting another life with a new identity on your new found wealth then?
  24. Born Hunter
    Bargain!

    The stated objectives seemed to be 1) protect ethnic Russians 2) de-nazify Ukraine 3) demilitarise Ukraine. With several other non-stated objectives that are arguably the real reasons such as, deter NATO expansion, stop the placement of US Aegis ashore defence system in Ukraine, increase control of the Black sea, deter EU expansion, increase Russian geopolitical power, open up Crimea's water supply again etc. They haven't yet taken the whole Donbas region. They withdrew from their northern front. They have withdrawn from Snake island which is of strategic importance in providing area deni
