    Only in as much as I'd like to be on similar tax terms as the self employed lads.
  2. 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
  7. Born Hunter
    So you've been for a shop in f***ing Moscow have you? LOL
  8. 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.

    Per kilo! Who buys that shit buy the f***ing kilo!? I haven't noticed anything particularly mental about the price of actual butter.
  10. 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.
  11. 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%!
  12. 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?
  14. Born Hunter
    Nah, but I didn't spend hundreds every month on booze like 99%, so I could at least afford to feed myself.
  15. Born Hunter
    Ya not selling it to me!
  16. Born Hunter
    You didn't think about running and starting another life with a new identity on your new found wealth then?
  17. 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

    Sure, but you’d be giving up your life still surely? I mean it’s not like a set of fake papers is suddenly going to convince the entire world around you you’re someone else. You’d have to move the money, shift your house/assets etc etc. Be murder for just not having to work anymore imo. Im sure plenty would, but even my wanky life would be valued higher than that.
  20. Born Hunter
    Less than 30 years salary to last me the rest of my life, but that life is essentially going to be a life in hiding. Nah.

    Bats

    Born Hunter replied to jok's topic in General Talk

    They’re nice to watch fluttering about in the half light on a summers nights. Whenever anyone mentions bats I can’t help myself but bang on about the bats in AUS. Like f***ing dinosaurs! Constant stream of them flying down the river surrounded by the bright lights and hussle of the city…

    @ 1:40 Started shaky but got stronger when it came to listing the actual detail. But generally, he looks and sounds about dead to me.
  23. Born Hunter
    Did he really mistake Sweden for Switzerland? That's amazing. The best one was Bush mistaking Ukraine for Iraq when condemning the invasion.
  24. Born Hunter
    Snake island? Ukraine says because Russia was getting leathered on it, Russia says it's a good will gesture or something like that.

    The PM at today's summit. I expect the books to be massaged more than tangible growth in mass.
