I would love to have a cat, but, unfortunately I live in a building with a 'No Pets' rule, as is common with most over 55s buildings, you can move in with one you already have, but if/when it dies you can't replace it.

Nah my sister and her husband are into the 7 figure bracket, house is worth a few million, he retired as Head of Leisure services for Lancashire in 2010 and within a month had been asked to be archivist for the London Olympic Games, live in the posh part of Lytham St Annes.

Could have done with some help when my BiL borrowed €8,000 from me in Spain, then came back to the UK without paying it back, but he was 88 then and it was 15 years ago, so I doubt he is still with us, he just disappeared from everywhere, electoral roll, moved house with no forwarding address.

I'm on some lists, no idea why, have managed to get off one, that's all.

There is a hole at the end of every cap for a biro, and that's to stop people choking as that happened in the early days, pople putting them in their mouth and accidentally swallowing it and blocking the airway.

I called out Brewdog as a secret corporate sell-out years ago.

National living wage is shit. I know I couldn't live on it.

Liken people receiving in-work benefits. We're subsidising their employer's payroll! I ensure NO ONE who works for me qualifies for in-work benefits! I just pay them fairly. 🤷‍♀️

and the 'white' clothes in TV adverts for washing powders weren't white but usually blue, which is why you had Reckitts Blue Bags to add to the final rinse before they introduced 'optical brighteners' to powders, brightened the whites.

When the black and white minstrals were first on tv, tgey didnt have colour tv, just black and white.

Amazingly, this was an issue twith the tv cameras, so the 'blacked up' actors were actually made up with green (and sometimes red) makeup, as it made them look more black on tv.

Yes, really...

Had Amanita Muscaria & Pantherina experiences after LSD, psilocybin, & peyote in my youth. Mind blowing. Can be fatal, so unless you're an experienced mycoligist, spiritual mind traveler, don't take it. All hallucinogens are proceed with caution but incredible in right circumstances.
