A former landlord of mine set up his own organisation for local landlords to exchange information (basically to blacklist former tenants, from what I could gather). He was invited to give a presentation at some national landlords group...I forget which, but I knew the name at the time. They put a copy of his PowerPoint presentation on their website for people who couldn't make it and, wow...if you've any doubt about the kind of immoral scumbags you're dealing with, just take a look at the kind of advice they give each other.

All of the stuff on how your should never refund tenant's deposits (and how to get away with it) was one thing, but they have a derogatory acronym for vulnerable people who might be susceptible to selling their property for buttons, and advice on how to pressure them into giving it to you. Vulnerable people includes lone pensioners, the bereaved, the handicapped, etc. Your mate who rents out the house he inherited from his maw might well be a decent sort, but the folk who rent property for a living are not good people, and you should watch your back around them.

From the Daily Mail on this day 2017.   Have any members of P & B been involved in gay-only basketball or learned about African light bulbs ? 

No photo description available.

South African lightbulbs are made by Cyril Osramaphosa.

Nearly 2,500 children in England hospitalised with malnutrition since January, new research shows

But...the boxes of potatoes and half a tomato!??!

That’s disturbing.  I wish I could say it’s surprising.

Article about rents dropping because of COVID. Just look at the Edinburgh graph even compared to London. 5% increase in rents every year is a fucking joke. I hope as many landlords as possible are ruined by this.

Any idea why NE England is bucking the trend?

Why do Thais go so apeshit about their royal family? Particularly since their current king is an exceptional scum ag who doesn't even live there.

It's just a form of social control. It's a military dictatorship.

Has The Star always been The Sport, only without the hardcore porn?

Although the jury's still out on the last bit until I see what kind of ring Jamie gets on her finger.

Fun article about Chinese folk subverting the long working hours culture by intentionally being inefficient.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/22/touching-fish-craze-see-chinas-youth-find-ways-to-laze-amid-996-work-culture

As a wise man once said, "The Chinese: a great bunch of lads".

Politics made easy for the undecided:

So far, Rees Mogg is the only one with a full house of p***k I have found. The rest didnt vote in one or more of the categories

All that says is that sometimes they being a lazy p***k rather than an outright p***k.
