I know that feeling. I gave my last employer 18 months notice to train a replacement which they only fulfilled 3 weeks before my departure. I left no forwarding number 🤣

Maybe your advisory rates is too low! Doesn’t sound like retirement to me!

Need to see the strings moving the puppet at the board - Putin and Netanyahu

Just to be clear, no human lives were ever considered in this attack. The lives were just collateral in tRump’s bombing to save himself and his handlers

Censure has no punitive measures. Maybe the censure should come with payments withheld commensurate with the degree of censure

Is this the same vein - 'Netanyahu has claimed Iran months away from nuclear weapons'
This line has gone for 3 decades, 'reds under the bed' since 1924?

World's most expensive nuclear power plant blows out again, by €2.5 billion and 12 months French developer of the troubled Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant says it likely to be delayed by a further 12 months, costing the company an additional €2.5 billion.

Latest update from Hinkley Point C plant
Initial costing (2015 prices)
£18b and 8 years (2017 - 2025)
Now expected £35b and 12 year (2029 end)
So how are #LNP going to build nuclear plants in time to replace the ageing coal power generators and at what cost??

It’s not a policy, it’s a business model. The LNP are following their sponsors and donors instructions

Been both renter and owner. Fortunate Boomer who was told to diversify and bought a property specified for student rental and hence not allowed to be owner occupier.
I have no problems with any maintenance, upgrades or improvements required by legislation or to make it decent for living.

It was never about the hostages. It was always Israel and their land grab which will make a fortune for tRump and cohorts.
