Yeah, that sounds about right...maybe a bit conservative in fact. :D

The staggering hypocrisy of vacuum cleaner manufacturer James Dyson in moving the center of operations for his business empire from the UK to Singapore knows no bounds! A significant and highly vocal supporter of brexit, he let no opportunity to paint in glorious colour the bright future we had post severence from the EU pass, even going so far as to champion the no-deal route as being his preferred exit strategy. Yet just as that very eventuality sees ever more likely to come to pass, he sees fit (on the basis of "future programming") to up sticks to pastures new. "The company" assures us that this has nothing to do with Brexit or tax avoidance, and that will have no impact on company employment levels with the country - and of course we believe them. After all, if Mr Dyson believes it, it must be true! :roll:

I think I have a large dose of capitalist in me, but my heart moderates it. Happy with that balance.
As a young fellow growing up in the city proper I was served by a trait of being able to smell shit coming around the corner. That trait softened a lot when our kids arrived on the scene. Still, I am a sucker for someone who I reckon deserves some help I can give.
Feels like a dark veil has lifted around some parts. It was getting to a point where I would have to shower each time I looked in the tank.
Have a nice weekend all.

On Twitter, I share cute gifs, tweets from a muslim libertarian, stuffs on the venezuela crisis and Sanders bashing, so if that's your cup o' tea...;)

Sorus, I know you are not an FB person, but Orlion's feed features an extensive ongoing meme-essay in which his cat figures prominently...and is not necessarily cute-forward.

That said, Quick *is* cute, especially to those who favor black cats. I think you know someone like that. ;)

He's quite a handsome fellow, though as to cutest, I could not answer, especially with Director Donner watching me.
