Just the cost of doing business .. $75M wouldn’t have bought one of those houses.
🔗 JP Morgan settles Jeffrey Epstein lawsuits with US Virgin Islands for $75m.
We haven’t seen the deal yet .. but when Galloway says unless the writers strike results in greater than a 16% increase in writers pay … I would argue that he is totally missing the point.
When he says the writers are striking against the wrong people he is definitely missing the point.
That said, pretty much on par based on his claims when it all started.
But no … he correctly predicted everything .. at least according to Kara on their ‘Pivot’ podcast. 🤦♂️
Dress ‘code’ does not always improve dress ‘sense’, much less dress ‘style’.
That moment when you use two fingers on the paper map to ‘zoom in’.

Beverage line 1 - where ‘Establishment 1’ could teach ‘Establishment 2’ a thing or two about attracting a crowd.

There’s always a balance!
Bonus? The word ‘beverage’ appears in both photographs.

Just updated my ‘🖇️ Places I have lived and visited’ list to include Poland. Got here last night … heading back on Sunday,
📎 The rock’s the star: meditative film about a Cornish stone goes global
Added this 🎬 to my ‘find and watch’ list.
… and 🔗 this one … though totally different.
It takes a lot of energy not to trust someone.
Everybody wants to be Jim Morrison but nobody wants to be found outside the 🔗 Whisky a Go Go out of your skull.
Just rapping with a friend - and out pops this sentence.
📎 The former refugee who wants to cut immigration, and become the first female Dutch PM.
I have no idea who she is … but the story smacks of ‘climbing the ladder provided … and pulling it up after you’. We’ve got them in The US and the UK .. you know who I am talking about.
Heathrow Is So Special … And Not In A Good Way.
The bag and its contents (not always the same - but pretty darn similar) has flown ‘in cabin’ all over America, to and from Mexico, down to New Zealand, around New Zealand across to Oz and back, then returning to America through Hawaii and onwards across to London … not a single problem.
Terminal 5, Heathrow … 45 minutes stood at security analyzing and rescanning that very same bag three times. Some items thrown away … like a small bottle of perfume, creams etc. Some items packaged up and in around 48 hours you can go online - pay the ransom fee and have it shipped to an address in the UK .. good job we had one.
They wanted to confiscate the medications .. no we don’t have the prescriptions with us, but if someone dies are you prepared to accept the consequences?
In the end, one small bottle of perfume thrown away was the most expensive item, but maybe 10 others also disposed of … several other bottles packaged up into a plastic bag … in the next couple of days, we can log on … pay the ransom and have the balance shipped to the UK address. It was totally unclear why;
- some items were destroyed
- others were repackaged to be sent ‘home’
- whilst others were given to me, so I could travel with them … Jax couldn’t
I asked if we had checked the bag, would it have been ok? No problem at all sir.
And then I just couldn’t resist. Can you explain why all of these containers are a problem … after all, they are all below the publicised amounts allowed. Oh yes sir… that’s not the problem, there are just too many of them. So, I went in to ask … where do I find the regulation that describes the total number off containers am I allowed?
Blank looks.
“Leave it John”
Adding insult to injury … get to the gate and told that it is a full flight … ‘that bag’ needs to be checked in.

The down escalator is ‘chokka’ . Lady steps off and stops 2 feet away from the moving stairs, joined by her partner about 2 seconds later, who doesn’t move her along but proceeds to get his map out while they both look around. Their surprise when two seconds later more people ‘join them’ and two seconds after that … even more.
Finally they get it and move on, 2 seconds from a serious accident. #WatchingAccidentsInProgress … #ThinkingHelps #AwarenessHelps … most important #JustBeAwareOfPeople
