And it shouldn’t be about immigration. Pick another subject, his five jobs, his economic position or anything else.

Don’t hit where he is strongest hit him where he is weakest. There is a lot to go at.

Fuck only knows what Trump and those headers around him will do?

A very rich friend told me at the start of my career ‘a little is better than a lot of nothing at all” and “look after those that look after you “

Motto’s for life:.

I will have to take a photo when the nights are lighter. You can hear them but not see them now.

Or you were asking to come to the house to see in person?🤣

I agree, it was a fantastic car. His was held together with love and rust and the engine wasn’t much better. Oh the 1980’s!

I will, if I can take you up on that kind offer. Best of luck with the restoration!👍

It’s a figurative lock. If I go near the thermometer the other half blows a gasket. His system just runs hotter than mine. The only truly warm room is the bathroom cos it has under tile heating and he isn’t sure how to change that temperature!

And should be recruited by UK, but as usual our confused and invective rich policy will mean we will miss out.

It’s great. We have a wee place in Spain and at 9.30pm the flamingo leave their feeding in the pink lakes to go to another lake to sleep. Not as noisy but they do it in formation.

It’s like the feathered red arrows!

With fabulously expensive Italian leather…

Of course!

Good grief. So they expected it to rise not only to give them a return but to also pay the interest as well. Madness.

Anyone want to buy a tulip bulb?🙄

Crypto is a con. You buy something with cash that is only worth the same cash if someone wants to buy.

Classic bubble stock with no fundamentals.

David @thefatfryer.bsky.social · 13h

Cash is king. The insiders know something. Illegal but in the states currently there is no one checking or prosecuting them…

One of the most fabulous cars that was, perhaps, not the most reliable…

My thermostat, like the TV remote has a child proof lock on it. “You can put more layers on, I can’t take it off”

Dog nussels to up me for heat!🙄

It’s like one of your own dogs puppies getting the home they deserve.

The universe looks and smiles. Congratulations on a job well done!

There are none so blind that they will not see…

That’s why all the tech bro billionaires are hyping it so much…

2/2
Not mentioning a shower leak, now having to rip the bathroom out and replace it, and completely rip down a ceiling in the flat below and replace it. Costing a fortune.

I’d prefer to know straight away.

David @thefatfryer.bsky.social · 13h

I prefer to know. Some examples: no heating all day but text me at 10pm at night. Went straight round and sorted it.
7am call as she had locked herself in the gardens. Straight round, sorted. And worried about kids in the street. One day later fitted a ring doorbell. 1/2

There is. I’m not bad as long as my husband isn’t in the car. With him I. It it’s like driving Miss Daisy. Constant comments and “advice”

My new car has cameras that I don’t use. I’m old school.

I’m just old…

He does the same with the properties we rent out. Beautifully appointed and a realistic rent. Good tenants are worth looking after and they look after the house.

The best of luck. Keep me posted on progress. I love it!

David @thefatfryer.bsky.social · 20h

You’re an artist. You have that ability to visualise either in a canvas or a room. He uses small very expensive pieces (say table light) on cheaper tables etc. it’s great fun. Just vet the builders carefully.

You always will spend too much!

As we have discussed it’s a complete bubble. If it doesn’t work then crash, if it does then the population will riot for their jobs. Then crash. It’s inevitable.

He is very dyslexic and I think that he can picture in his mind much better than the architect with a pen.

One house we had to use Google earth to see how big the garden is. After we bought the house. Not for the faint hearted!

David @thefatfryer.bsky.social · 20h

My husband does that for a living. Looks at a wreck of a house and makes it the best and most expensive in the area. Without really thinking. Our architect loves it cos he doesn’t have as good an idea. Risky but worth it.

You eat a lot of brick dust!🤣
