I expect a lot of people would've said eastern Europe not so long back. But that's looking a touch risky these days. Ha I've never been to Turkey, so it might be paradise, but f**k I'd take some convincing on that one. Islamic country, military junta, gateway to the most troubled region of the entire world, ruthless and unstable government. A mate of mine reckons Sardinia is the place. Cheap, idyllic, an in your face hunting culture, relatively close, and the cultural gold mine of the Italian mainland just over the Tyrrhenian sea. I'd be looking at places like that, Cyprus etc.

Whatever happens, Ben Wallace seems to be doing relatively well as SecDef and I hope he's kept in that role.

<Shit! I'm compromised!> "So yeah, it's really bad to tread on snakes and tax and stuff, yeah..."

Could your son provide home addresses and rough wealth estimates?

I can sense we will just disagree on this. Look, I don't really care, politics is just another force of nature to me these days, just part of the environment, like the weather. However, I do find it interesting to study. So, your view, if factual, is a nice little snippet but do you not think it has any consequences? 100% agree with the wrongs of 2008 fyi.

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.
-
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
-
So you've been for a shop in f***ing Moscow have you? LOL
-
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.
-
Per kilo! Who buys that shit buy the f***ing kilo!? I haven't noticed anything particularly mental about the price of actual butter.
-
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.
-
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%!
-
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?
