Snooker back in the day 😊🍻🚬

About as clever, funny and aesthetically pleasing as a punch in the face.

Unfortunately, as you get older, you gradually become less interested in new music and keep going back to the old favorite songs you once loved.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

fuck you

If you knew how to “burn a CD” you old as hell.

Buckingham Palace spox responds to POTUS tariffs announcement (below): “The King has been informed of President Trump’s warm gesture and sends his sincere gratitude for a decision that will make an important difference to the British whisky industry and the livelihoods it supports. “His Majesty will be raising a dram to the President’s thoughtfulness and generous hospitality as he departs the US after a most enjoyable State Visit for both Their Majesties in this special anniversary year.”

10 of the 11 guards weren’t paying attention when the guy with the gun came running at them attempting to kill the president. And the one guy who was watching fired multiple shots from this close without hitting the would be assassin.

SAN FRANCISCO 7th & Market st

Federal prosecutors released a video which shows the moment a man armed with guns and knives tried to storm the White House Correspondents' dinner in alleged plot to kill US President Donald Trump. The gunman quickly reaches the officers before most of them appear to notice him

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says he may consider removing US troops from Spain and Italy.

Welcome President Trump’s announcement to remove tariffs from Scottish whisky in honour of Their Majesties following the state visit. We’ve been working for many months to secure this outcome for a key industry which supports thousands of jobs.

More absurdity from this account. Jewish people here say they’re experiencing real fear and we are, of course, listening to those concerns. Also covering the broader story, as you’d expect. If you insist their fear’s not valid, maybe ask yourself if you’re part of the problem.

Yes, it looks much more like Windsor Castle!
