@eNeecie Every other day a new motorhome appears in my mother-in-law's drive and Neil hands me another bucket full of jewellery and cosmetics. I can only assume he's got himself a part time job I'm too busy to ask about.
@zeninternet@ZenInternetHelp the link to the Google Play store app at the bottom of your emails is broken. I assume pointing to an old defunct app. The actual app has a different id.
The way @metroline have treated the hero bus driver is awful. The person who did the tribunal believed the mugger was going back to apologise and shake hands?! What planet is she on?

Well.
Someone sent me a link on here now to the full signed US treaties with the Kingdom of Denmark
(I’ve actually got to cover some economics at Davos at some point, so please stop…)
Includes the actual $25 million gold certificate lodged in the deal by President Wilson:
Incredible… the story is actually not a parody.
just had confirmed live on BBC Breakfast, from here in Davos, that yes, President Trump sent THAT note to the Norwegian PM saying that because they hadn’t given the Nobel Peace Prize, he could now justify owning Greenland.
Fucking hell the Apple Music UI is awful on MacOS. Want to access a scrubbing UI? wander your mouse to the tiny special knowledge area of the track info, click to make a timeline appear then drag...FFS, Back to Spotify it is then. Clowns.
What possible justification can there be for charging graduates earning over £50k 6.2% interest, while their peers earning less are only charged 3.2% (and the BoE base rate is 4%)
This feels like the kind of thing Wonga would do, not the British state
So triple-locked pensions and benefits rise with inflation -- but not tax thresholds or student loan repayment levels? That seems weird to me, totally unequal fiscal drag on working people vs recipients of state spending.
My grandfather bought an apartment from Blackrock on a 200 year mortgage.
1 bed, 1 bath, no car.
My family has been paying it off for 80 years now. We're nearly half way there.
We're so grateful that we're not renting.
And in just 2 more generations, we'll own it outright.
We've only paid $8.6 million in interest. The apartment was $500k initially.
The apartment's downtown, near GloboCorp where my grandfather used to work.
He died at his desk and they forgot to tell us about it.
We found out a few weeks later, only because Blackrock starting chasing us for mortgage payments.
Sometimes I get sad knowing that I won't see the apartment paid off in my lifetime.
But I know we're building Generational Wealth, so that's OK.
