this at least means I no longer have to listen to our elected representatives talking over each other like children in various debates,

Now you have to deal with them governing your country like a bunch of children govern their sandbox.

So, "business as usual", as far as all politicians go, then?

Pessimistic much? Or maybe just realistic...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

lost 4kg thus far (in my aim to get a 6 pack lol, cliche I know, but I always wanted one, (not of beer either) and I WILL get one) and to aid in this my Bowflex 1090s arrived on Friday. My gym is looking sick, got a new Bowflex 5.1 bench to match, as I am 6'3" and my current bench isnt made for a human my height apparently. Gonna be smashing the weights now, lets get huge and lean. YES!

I just bid over $ 400 000,- for an apartment. I'm sitting here staring at my phone waiting to see if someone will put up a higher bid. I have no idea whether I'm excited or terrified.

Probably both.
But if you're still excited even after buying it, you made a good choice.

No new bids yet. But I set the time limit at at 12, so there's still plenty of time for others to out bid.

@Gothos, it's an Apartment in the city center. Third floor with a veranda and Direct view of the park. It's literally on the edge of a big park.

ah well. Overbid by almost another hundred thousand. I guess I was right it had been priced too low.

Sell your scarf collection and bid over that person!

I'm sure your scarf collection is worth at least 200k!

Oh man, I would have to buy a whole new set of after dinner scarves! They never felt right to me, the current lot, but it's so expensive to buy new.

Hey sorry about that man. You should move to the North of England. $400K could buy you half a town!

Yes but since you are already married you could forgo the wedding scarf. Just think of the savings!
