If it is truely a spare 10k for investment, then at least cycle the money from the sale after the first day into BoI which has got to be a better long-term play due to lack of public sector stench. BoI is ridic cheap by any logical measure. Market cap of €7.3bn and long-term will be throwing off €2bn a year minimum in profits.

GRENFELL TOWER FIRE
Posted on June 14, 2017 by grenfellactiongroup
Watching breaking news about the Grenfell Tower fire catastrophe. Too soon (5am) to even guess at numbers of casualties and fatalities. Our heartfelt and sincere condolences to all who have perished, to the injured, to those who are bereaved or are still searching for missing loved ones.
Regular readers of this blog will know that we have posted numerous warnings in recent years about the very poor fire safety standards at Grenfell Tower and elsewhere in RBKC.
ALL OUR WARNINGS FELL ON DEAF EARS and we predicted that a catastrophe like this was inevitable and just a matter of time. Below is a list of links to previous blogs we posted on this site trying to warn the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea who own this property and the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation who supposedly manage all social housing in RBKC on the Council’s behalf:
One of the concerns raised by the Grenfell Action Group when we were opposing the KALC development was the impact the loss of the Lancaster Road car-park would have on the community in the Grenfell…
The picture above, taken in October 2012, is the one that kicked-off our row with Lancaster West management on the issue of public safety and emergency access in the Grenfell Tower area. It shows s…
When we published our two recent items on Fire Safety in the Grenfell Tower area we expected to see some serious repercussions. Our earlier complaints to Siobhan Rumble had, of course, been copied …
The Grenfell Action Group are acutely aware that we are resented and despised by the un-holy trinity that controls North Kensington, ie the Council and their quislings at the KCTMO and the Westway …
On Thursday 30th May, one day after a near catastrophic and highly dangerous power surge destroyed many electrical appliances belonging to Grenfell Tower residents, representatives from the Grenfel…
An end may finally be in sight to the mysterious and distressing power surges that have bedevilled Grenfell Tower residents throughout the past month. However, decisive action was only taken yester…
What on earth is going on at Grenfell Tower? We don’t know – and nor it seems does the TMO who are responsible for managing Grenfell Tower. What we do know is that there have been frequent and cont…
The Grenfell Tower power surge issue remains unexplained and unresolved despite the best and constant efforts of ourselves, and especially the dogged leadership of the Grenfell Tower Leaseholders A…

The the ones that can be (smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, fire seals, etc) weren't installed, or weren't maintained. The management have a lot of questions to answer.
As do who ever installed the cladding.

Clearly this thing has become an obsession for the people behind this blog, and being up at 5am getting the I told you so stuff out there, is suggestive of that but I'd take in the round personally. The power of social media to reset the balance for the little people is one of its huge benefits.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Originally posted by V for Vendetta View PostI personally did a number of enquiries and rang various state agencies about fire standards in a apt block I was living in.

So this group in the U.K. actually did something and campaigned etc. Fair play to them and if the bad publicity and/or legal case faced by those with responsibility in this UK case causes management companies, councils and fire standard officers to get proactive then they will have done a lot of powerless people a great service.

Something that comprehensive and damning was always going to go viral. Just felt a little uncomfortable reading it as the fire would have been still fully ablaze at that stage and people lives a risk. His tone, large font use of bold just came across slightly jaring and mistimed to me reading it.

Try to get low floors in hotels too, but kinda hard to arrange.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostI'm sure you're all way ahead of me on this, given that these were your recommendations. But the combination of:
1. Excellent coffee beans
2. A coffee grinder, like this one we got following strew's approval
3. An AeroPress (link provided just for those who have been living in the sticks)
... leads to the most amazing coffee and genuinely turns morning time from wanting to bang your head against a wall into a warm upbeat ocassion.
Total setup cost of about a hundred, and then a fiver a week on beans. It is easily the cheapest best thing you can do to make your life better. Thinking of setting up a therapy business where i listen patiently to every clients problems and at the end, irrespective of what has been said, proffer the wise words of 'you should get a better coffee routine'.

Spent the morning pricing flights and hotels for Vegas, only problem is I've no days left to take at work and my holiday is before it.
Assume tickets will be mental, will justify it since I spent stupid money on a Superbowl ticket and only started watching that.
Most likely wont go but I'll keep it alive for a few days.
Can only imagine as a spectacle it will be awful?

Wouldn't even know where to start with tickets.
Won't be on UFC Fight club anyway.
