At present the best investment is probably a modest sized house in a good location the investor can live in. That would be a "good use" of their money. My own house was £180,000 when i brought it and is now valued at between 330-350,000 , my parents brought theirs for £8000 , i inherite...

Very frugal of you to save up the whole cost of your first house. Were you paying rent and raising a family at the same time? . Frugal , one of the nicer terms used to describe me . Thanks for that. As it was until the age of 27, 28 i was living with my parents and paying board which would equate t...

the election in November as at present it looks like a Democrat landslide VT , i seem to recall a few years ago you said that people voted for Trump not because they liked him but because they disliked Clinton more. Apologises if i'm confusing you with someone else. Shortly after Biden was confirme...

(, points ,condenser and sp wires). Showing your age there, VT!! Today the median income comes to $37.50 /hr so in 1300 hrs you can afford a vehicle costing $50K and that vehicle will last 15 years and 250,000 miles or more. and get double the gas mileage and tires and other wear parts last three t...

This will cheer you all up: https://off-guardian.org/2020/06/27/covid19-pcr-tests-are-scientifically-meaningless/ I had a letter from the NHS asking me to take part in a random test and survey. I took the swab test and received the results early this week. It was negative and i also had a covering ...

So does anyone know anyone who has had classic severe symptoms? Not white helmet videos - actually know? And I don't mean some living dead 86 yr old waiting for the end date. I am a rural town so maybe I don't see the city picture. Up to now i'd only heard second hand rumours and stories of "t...

Does anyone else take rioting, looting and social unrest as being unavoidable in the next few weeks?

Perhaps. If confronted by a mob of looters probably best to start sneezing and coughing wildly.

That's part of the thing that's confusing me if i'm honest. Either that 3000 figure is close to the correct number or china has seriously massaged the numbers and they have a death toll in the tens if not hundreds of thousands and have managed to succesfully cover it up.
