I am sick to the back teeth (yes I still have some) of hearing the word “Super” . Nobody can just be pleased or happy or find something easy or difficult it must be “Super “ excited etc. Just watch any live program or YouTube video and everything is “Super” . Next time you hear it make a mental note of how many times it is said. So far I’ve got 15 in a 20min video. You observations would be interesting. Completely agree! Another pet hate I have is "nice". Every darn thing people like is "nice". Regrettably, most people's vocabulary is extremely limited and they restrict themselves to employing the same few hundred words their entire lives. I have just been too busy to pop in here. Time passes so quickly. Getting more and more Victor Meldrewesk . Stupid companies tryin to please the VERY few at the expense of the many ie. punishing the friendly announcer for greeting the “Ladies and Gents” and not including the tiny proportions of over sensitive and entitled confused individuals who at a genetic level have either XY,XX or very very rarely some other variant. ANY adjective we use to describe ourselves does not need to be mentioned to be accepted. The use of historical accepted greetings that meant to be just that a greeting that was always accepted as inclusive. I am sure there would be uproar if we started spending hours trying to mention over sensitive humans. Good Morning. Fatty,ugly,spotty,bauldy,hairy,smelly,shorty,good looking, etc etc. Unless expressly mentioned as not included then people should accept the ARE included no matter what their mental view of themselves as no matter what we think there is a definitive ultimate description that can always be applied when the person involved has no input ie. when unconscious or dead . This modern condition that nobody can be offended is crazy. I am sure Everyone has views that are offensive to others. There should be a right to offensive as it is to be complementary. Even now being complimentary is not allowed in the crazy HR world. I just think there is to much misery in the world to fixate on our own insecurities. Feel Free to be offensive it is your right. Just another observation the number of non white people in UK is less that 20% 6% Asian 3% black the rest from other In Scotland 4% are non white .. Now however advertisers are so scared of being labelled racist that nearly every advert no matter what has to have a non white person even though this is statistically incorrect. Let us all just get on without trying to exclude anyone but also not disproportionately represent minorities. I notice programs must now include a woman a non white person a LBGT(Q,A and whatever) a Vegan and a Climate change activist Crazy Crazy world no wonder children now confused and not just children but are riddled with ADHD, asthma, multiple allergies,fear of strangers,confused on gender, and colour afraid of social media exclusion , fear of climate change, micro plastics and a million different things. BRING ON THE AI REVOLUTION AND HAVE A HUGE PURGE. The earth needs a reset with either a huge pandemic of fast transmitting 80% deadly virus or nice asteroid hit or massive solar flare. Just my jaded view

Amazing how things can change. This week my portfolio dropped in value more than my collateral investment. The difference is hopefully SM will recover and funds should recover. Anybody in crypto would also be stung. Valuations of portfolios only matter when they have to be realised. I am sure the funds tied up in Collateral were more likely to impact lots of the investors in the immediate aftermath of the disaster as they seemed to be a reasonable “Short term “ offering and attracted lots of ordinary folks just trying to do best for their families.
That is the sad side of failing P2P companies the number of smaller investors that got caught up with little backup to tide them over.
The big boys also lose out but usually it’s not their only investments.
Lets hope we all get back what we were promised as things were not that bad before FCA intervened.

In the past it would have been Boris but he is managing to keep us amused and PMQ on Wednesday should be fun as he has a laugh at KS

Forgot all about Collateral and unfortunately the £26K of my dosh they still have. It came to mind and I just came here to see what was happening. I have sent letters etc. Previously. I would just like to thank you Duck for your persistence and diligence over the years keeping pressure up. I do feel sorry for those that expected and needed a quick resolution of this fiasco. You have my full support for past any further actions you contemplate to resolve what must be the longest running P2P dispute in history

Every time something is late or service is bad the blame is either COVID 19 or Brexit and lots of poor businesses are pulling the wool over people’s eyes blaming pandemic. Who will they blame when things improve?

Nothing to get all heated about. The Mother Ship is on the way to pick up all the Trump followers. Dehydrate them all and sniff them up the nose of a giant alien.

I don't want the United Kingdom to break up. One of the reasons is that I don't want to have to find my English identity if it is to be the country being shaped by the Conservative Party. I was very happy sharing all the islands with everyone who lives here. I won't go into the irony of the insane situation that the UK internal market has been reduced by a border in the Irish sea. The following article is by someone with whom I don't agree. It's a Scottish perspective. But the conditions in the other countries of the union have to be considered along with the reasons for their alienation from the centralised Westminster government. The picture it paints seems to me a true one so it is a red flag of danger that lies ahead. It is a long read but worth considering even if you don't like the conclusions. www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/its-time-to-break-up-britain/So much would be sorted out by a decent electoral system - like the ones the UK allowed Scotland and Wales to have but denies those of us in England and for Westminster. A properly federal UK with a representative electoral system. We would never have got into this mess had that been in place. More consensual politics rather than a plurality being given an unchallengeable majority and an executive bent on exercising ever more dictatorial and authoritarian rule. But it is probably too late - and yes, I too struggle to feel any identity whatsoever with what is currently (little) "England". This England as currently constituted will have destroyed the Union, and ironically all the arguments it has used for the UK to leave the European Union will support Scotland (and then the rest) leaving the UK Union. England can have a nice US style election system. That has no problems

FO are showing their true colours today with an email on how to make compost. They really are experts at this, especially on how to do it from cash. One way is to layer £10 notes in your compost heap. A faster way is to repeat with £20 notes..., but the fastest way of all is to just lend your cash via the FO platform. The way the SM are going the are leaving every other investment vector in their dust. ( apart from BTL property in Scotland )
