For talking rot.

Yep, anyone with an "interest" in residential property without residing in it themselves can get to utter ****. I've been renting for 22 years and I've had *one* landlord I'd describe as good, like 7/10 good.

TBF my experience with landlords was better than with the management company. I had 3 landlords and I'd say 2 were pretty good and attentive to issues in the properties. The first was an absolute cowboy running a flat with a multitude of faults and I got out of there as soon as the contract expired.

Funny enough, my 3rd landlord was Gary who had been on the Apprentice. Decent guy actually.

Investors who think they are these fantastic, self-made individuals and give out loads of advice on how to get rich but you then discover their process is:
1) Have millionaire investor parent who actually knows what they are doing set up a company for you, give you a few million to play with and advises you in what to do
2) Profit.

Yep I know someone like this who has genuinely deluded themselves into thinking they are a rags to riches self made genius when actually she had it all given to her as soon as she left uni.

This is apt. Im a super small landlord, and everytime I hear people complain about small landlords in tell them wait until we are going and management companies own everything...

I work with one, he works at a charity, for basically minimum wage, doing 24 hour shifts so he can bring his equipment in and set up to spend hours 'trading' and gambling...

Claims to be from the gutter, but was given 100k to set up his platform by daddy.

Weirdly its his entire personality, he lives in a not so great area, where mummy and daddy live in the super wealthy area, he drives a 65 plate Polo, but has use of his dad's Jag, boat and mobile home, and he even pretends to be from a criminal background, which is super weird considering his private education.

Im not going to lie, his portfolio looks great, and i am envious, but after 9 years he would have had more by dumping the 100k into the SP500. He brags about 80% growth lol.

Nice guy, and super informed, good to get tips from because hes so immersed in the market, but absolute delusion.

What is a brilliant read!!!

Where are the Queens 7 kids? Has she fled from them (I know that instinct).

What has Asnat fled the USA to be a slave in a 3 person tribe in the Scottish borders?! How did she get there undetected?

And mostly, WTF are they thinking, Jedburgh is nice enough July, but wait until November when it hits -3 and its not use having a queen and a handmade, because the kings pee pee won't come out to play!!!

Happened 5 years ago. News Must have been buried because of Covid.

But when you’ve got an itch, you gotta scratch. To hell with peeps’ WiFi and electricity. Ron is innocent! Hope he’s not been made into a pie.

INSOMNIA WOOOOOOOO

Welcome to the club

Welcome to the club

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, largely because I can't bloody sleep.

 

[Which Tyler]

It's 4.30 in the morning - and I'm not allowed to do anything that might make a noise.
I've already taken the dogs for a wander, and now I'm drinking hot chocolate in the hopes of feeling sleepy again.

What helps me (not cure, but help) is:
A] good sleep hygiene - most of the time, reasonable at worst.
B] Realising that humans aren't actually designed to get 8 hours straight, of sleep - that's just not how hunter-gatherer clans work. Some people have a tendency to go to sleep late, and then sleep late; some go to sleep early, and then get up early; whilst some sleep for a bit, get up, go back to bed and sleep some more - with varying different timings. Spread that over a clan of 100-200, and it means there's always a reasonable number of people up and about, tending the fire, watching/listening for predators etc.

Insomnia is a bugger when it hits hard and prolonged, but getting up and doing stuff for an hour or so, then starting my "going to bed" routine again means that I do tend to get enough sleep (not 8 hours, but enough), and don't beat myself up about it.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Started a new job and now I am up at 5:30am, but awake by 5am. TBF I am asleep by 9.30pm the night before. So getting the full 7 hours.

When I was younger I could sleep 12-13hours. Don’t think that was healthy for me.

Then there’s that lazy ******* Ug, who lays in bed all day while everyone else is out hunting, gathering and watching for predators… and gets away with it because everyone assumes he was awake while they were sleeping.
