Something else is positive

The estate WhatsApp channel seems to have morphed into a marketplace for olds spring cleaning and chucking stuff out, and the young renters (who don’t appear to have a pot to piss in) going “yes please, we’ll have that, and that” etc.

Less whining, more reusing, feels like a positive to me.

The resilience of seeds to decay is truly remarkable -

The seeds in question are ~100s of years old. The oldest reliably-dated seed germinated is, famously, a Judean date palm, ca. 2,000 years old.

Not sure about that. Rupert Murdoch had a child as recently as 2003.

I like a punt, and fully realise that bookies are right up there with estate agents, but PP we’re being absolute cunts in this case.
Don’t understand why they didn’t turn it into a “look what you could all win” and make even more money.
Thieving, greedy cunts :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I’d like to see all forms of online gambling banned; it certainly shouldn’t be advertised routinely on the twatbox.

Are these cunts all still based out on Gibraltar for tax reasons?

Betfred certainly is (just checked), pretty sure they’ll all be offshored. Cunts.

Be so easy to pass laws insisting that if any organisation wishes to trade in the UK they must be paying tax in the UK - all political Parties are too fucking spineless to call the corps’ bluff. Boils my fucking piss.

It would appear that inspite of Trump trying to roll the USA back to the stone age on every front, both morally and technologically, the world is still heading in the right direction. The world as a whole is now generating more than 40% of all its energy from renewable sources:
