Humble
Man said humble
Came from humble ... didn't say I was ... far from it ...
.. but ****ing education standards in this country ... even for 26 year olds still retaking GCSEs...
Pretty much agree with all of that ...
On children - saw a quote somewhere, possibly Omar Khayyam, or similar - to paraphrase - went something like 'your children are your arrows - you can point them in a direction - but you can't know where they will land' ...
My own health issues (heart disease) - hereditary too - but girls much less prone than boys, so perhaps it was divine intervention / grand plan that gave me 3 daughters?
Don't agree with the 'principle' of private health care - but it undoubtedly saved my life. Would prefer it if our taxes were so weighted that our NHS could provide Private Health levels of excellence to all - but that's a pipe dream in this lifetime.
Contrary to some belief / rumourI'm from pretty humble stock - Irish origins on my Pa's side - Lancastrian on my mums - she was one of 7 - her old man was a 'setter' in a brick factory - she was a nurse and my dad became an engineer in the RAF (conscription) - they went into business when I was 3, an Off-Licence in Leicester. A hard life, but carried it's own rewards - e.g. they spent their days together until a second heart attack claimed my dad at 49 (he was 43 when he had the first).
If I learnt anything it's that life isn't always fair and that you have to work for the good things - nobody is just going to give them to you - guess that's one of the reasons I'm still working now, I suspect. I enjoy the good things!

It’s quite clear to me that Jeffery wasn’t just a blackmailing **** but a state sponsored one
What state I don’t know but westy might
Seemingly, all of them ...
Bruv you still commute to work in your 70sCame from humble ... didn't say I was ... far from it ...

He was deffo mossad owned and fundedSeemingly, all of them ...
Westy to confirm
Not sure anything 'emerging' will be that much of a surprise now - the release / non-release, redacted / non-redacted has been a cataclysmic disaster ... if the MAGA rank and file hadn't started making a volume of noise that couldn't be ignored / further delayed without losing them, I suspect we'd be looking at completely different divulgence at this point ... been rushed and botched ...
I stole the news from Twitter, who in turn reported it from the Daily Malice, trust no one.
Bruv you still commute to work in your 70s
Work from home 4, sometimes 5 days a week - head office is in Manchester (realise the Northwest isn't a part of the UK you're familiar with) so 180 miles from where I live - kind of work I do sort of hinges on experience (and a modicum of intelligence and inventiveness) ... so will carry on with it whilst I'm still enjoying it ...
it used to be because you still had a mortgage due to an expensive divorce .
He’s 63-ish. Quite a normal age to do office stuff. Ridiculous as Fosse is in various respects this isn’t one of them.
Imagine the jokes on his 69th
66 in October - and got my first pension at the end of it ... and we could sell up and move to somewhere cheaper - but with a girl still at Uni (Reading) and one commuting into London, will probably stay working for at least a couple of years ... also enjoy it - mentally stimulating ...
