Yoghurt on a Stick

Thank you for providing that. I am going to make a note of it, as his wizard tailoring skills might just be what I need for a future project (not Glastonbury related). 🙂

That is insanely well executed. It's like a couture garment on couture tablets - on speed (maybe acid, even!). That man's phenomenal skills are wasted on repairs, if that's his main stock of business. Would it be possible for you to provide (publicly here, or via a DM) the name, address, etc of such a talented tailor?

Well, I haven't even read the contents of the first link in any detail. That story just came up as I was looking for another specific example that I had heard about in the UK before. Then I thought 'well, there's an example. i'll just post that instead'. which is what I did. I had no knowledge that these people were to also complain about being wealthy as well as giving huge amounts of money to good causes. Maybe this is because I have only read the tail end of this thread, and that you mentioned this necessity in a previous post (which I will not have read)? As for the second link - when you say you'll not bother with it, do you mean opening it, or commenting on it? If you haven't already opened it, I'll inform you that you are not missing much. I had looked at this article deeper than I did with the first article. I reckon that I spent a good two zeptoseconds looking at the second article. I wasn't impressed. in fact my experience was even more negative than that. I fleetingly looked at the page and felt a slight wave of queasiness / depression wash over me. It wasn't the content of the words, it was the whole page layout, design, colouring. I really wish that I hadn't seen it myself now.

The Holderness Coast?

There are some examples in the UK. Here is one such example; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-61241436 And here's a few more (from across the world) https://www.bromsgroveadvertiser.co.uk/news/20265871.top-10-generous-lottery-winners/ I think that if I won big on the lottery, I'd probably travel the world with all my mates. We'd stay in the best hotels, go to many countries, drink in posh bars, eat in expensive restaurants, take drugs, buy designer clothes etc. I'd do that for a few years, then come back home and whatever money I had left over, I'd spend foolishly! lol

Hello bamber, That young lady can certainly surf. She appears to be 'at one' with a wave. I've never surfed, or been interested in it, but watching her perform does make you want to jump on a surfboard, and give it a go. Far too old now though. I used to skateboard way back in my youth and even got to the finals of a regional skateboard competition. Mind you, none of us ever got up to what skateboarders can do nowadays. I did thoroughly enjoy the sport though. There was one skateboard park (Arrow) in Wolverhampton that i used to go to. It took me a fair bit of courage and more than a few attempts, but in the end I was able to drop down a ramp and then get to another ramp which then had a further vertical wall section. I can still feel that moment when I finally 'nailed' that vertical wall and got back down with all limbs and head intact. Hope you are happy and well.

Winning the lottery has been a disaster for many in the UK and across the world. However, as one Texas oil billionaire once said 'Money can't buy you happiness, but with my kind of wealth you can rent it'!

Doesn't poverty also expose one to a roller coaster ride? Surely any 'predisposition' (of any nature) is irrelevant to wealth?

I gave 'Dare' away - I feel your pain. 🙃

It could be worse - you could be the bloke whose girlfriend threw out the wrong bag off the landing - the one bag with 7,200 Bitcoins on a hard drive within it. Straight to a council tip. Ouch!

Time for a 'Thank you' update. Just checking in.

I gave away a mint condition vinyl album of this one (see below) - in fact I gave away my entire (it didn't add up to that many vinyl singles, or albums) record collection. I did it in 'one fell swoop'. Yes, in the blink of an eye I had, essentially, managed to achieve the impossible. It's a bit like when I asked a plasterer for a quote. He gave me the verbal quote, we got slaughtered drunk, and by the end of the night I had talked the price up to £200 more than he had asked for. Doh!

Only just seen this. Apologies if it's already been posted and discussed https://metro.co.uk/2024/09/18/massive-00s-rock-band-now-favourite-headline-glastonbury-first-time-21631069
