French lad laying bricks in the UK.

Boiler pressure was going up ever so slightly every day. Asked ChatGPT. Told me to disconnect the filling loop and see if it stops. It did. Bought a new service valve. £55. Fitted it. Back to normal. Watch out plumbers, AI will stop you from charging £200 call out fee 😂

So @samfendermusic managed to get the tickets for his gig down from 120 to 85. Greedy c***s haven't won that war. There's enough money for the artist, the venue, and the middle man. We get scammed every day. On everything.

If the salary to become Prime Minister was 30k a year, would they all go for it still ?

14th in the queue for a doctor's appointment whilst ringing bang on at 8.30am. It was easier to get tickets for the Oasis gig.

To all the lads who've been told if they don't work hard at school they will end up on a building site, well done! You got yourselves a forever job.

The NHS is just a big old farce. Did an "eConsultation" thing on the NHS app with my GP. GP asks if I can come in at 4.45 today. I said no I'm not available but I can do tomorrow around 4pm. GP tells me the diary is not open for tomorrow. Got to ring first thing in the morning. So the GP wants to see me, but I can't book the appointment. The NHS is probably the worst health service in Europe. It is not fixable.

Apparently it will be set in Paris. Gandalf the White in the middle of the looters belting out "You shall not pass" will be biblical.
Peter Jackson says 'The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past' is in the scriptwriting stage ⚔️ The film takes place 14 years after 'The Return of the King' (via @screenrant)

Cost a brand new kitchen : 30K bare minimum. Cost of a new floor and re-spray : 3.5K. Sometimes you don't need something new, you just need a change.

People always ask me why would I move to the UK from France? I don't think I've got to answer this anymore after yesterday. Videos I'm seeing on my timeline are heartbreaking. Such a beautiful country ruined. Ruined by what? By years and years of low funding of the public services. Years and years of questionable immigration laws, where communities are starting to get bigger and bigger, and are not integrated at all. There's thousands of people who couldn't work yesterday. They couldn't go to work. Their shops have been ransacked. The government is not protecting people who wants to GO TO WORK. And you know what makes me want to cry my eyes out right now? It's about to happen here. We're on the same path. I see things in the UK I've seen 20 years ago. 15 years ago. 10 years ago. It's coming. And we're in a terrible position for this to happen. Brace yourselves.

Is it something we want to see or don't want to see?

People are really confused by this. It's all about doing it legally. I'm a legal immigrant in the UK. The people coming in on dinghys are not. They don't have any paperwork. They don't come to England for the weather. Wake up.
If British people moving abroad are 'expats', but foreigners moving to Britain are 'immigrants', what's the actual difference apart from the language we choose to use?

Today I learnt the hard way that Greenwich is pronounced Grenitch. Been a while since I made a fool of myself.

Vous savez ce qu'on dit... A 20 ans si on est pas de gauche c'est qu'on a pas de cœur. A 40 ans si on est toujours de gauche c'est qu'on à pas de tête.
J’ai exactement eu le même cheminement intellectuel que Louise. Au Lycée, j’étais de gauche par naïveté : "la guerre et la pauvreté, c’est pas gentil ; il faut donc taxer les milliardaires". J’arrive à la fac. Je vois tous ces crasseux. Je suis mal à l’aise. Mais, je reste encore un peu idéaliste. Je vois les 1ers blocages, je vois des étudiants issus du peuple, qui bossent pour financer leurs études supplier, pleurer en AG et supplier de lever le blocage. Ça me bouleverse. Après, je constate que la fac est un champ de ruines : des tags, de la merde dans les couloirs, des canettes de bière partout, des restes de joints. Je me dis : "si c’est ça la gauche, ce n’est pas possible". Je suis perdu, parce que je pense aussi que la droite est méchante, parce que j’étaus conditionné. Puis, les étudiants hostiles au blocage se sont regroupés. Je les ai rejoints. Il y avait de tout : des maurassiens, des UMP, des libertariens, des nationalistes divers. En discutant avec eux, je découvre des gens intelligents et cultivés. C’était des gens ouverts aux antipodes du sectarisme gauchiste. Même les vrais "fascistes" que j’ai fréquentés étaient moins "fachos" que les antifas. Je me mets à lire des auteurs qu’ils me conseillent. Ça allait de Joseph de Maistre, le contre-révolutionnaire, à Ayn Rand la libertarienne, en passant par Barrès, Léon Daudet, Tocqueville, etc.. Et là, c’est le déclic. Cette pensée de droite, tant carricaturée, devenait la voix de la raison.

Football fans are against the red cartel apparently, and are made up Manchester City won. Arsenal : 1 league title in 22 years. Man United : 1 in 13 years. Liverpool : 2 in 36 years MANCHESTER CITY : 8 titles in the last 15 years. But the red cartel is ruining the league hey 😂 Man City have ruined the metrics. Yes the big clubs spend 100+ on an average player nowadays. But that's all down to Man City who started the trend and completely changed the market, for the worst. The Premier League and VAR have literally ruined the game.

I probably spend around £1200 a year to go and watch @LFC. Yes I could invest the money instead. But the emotions that football provides me with are priceless and unique. I do hope we beat City for obvious reasons. This game today is not just about football. It's much more than that.
