Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

but the defensiveness and lack of imagination in some responses is very golf club.

I've ended up kinda landlording by accident - my friends were couldn't afford a mooring but had a right to it and were renting a shitty boat. I bought a better boat and the mooring so they could continue living there - they just cover the mooring fees and look after the boat, I'm not asking any rent on top. It is a (very risky) investment, but my mates were shafted otherwise.

For the purposes of this thread - 'I bought another boat'.

Absolutely heartless of you, parasitic scum

How dare you give people a decent place to live

We need to ask Angela Rayner what she thinks about landlords

you still havent forgiven Diane Abbott !

Solid. Gold. At $4.8 billion, the History Supreme, owned by Robert Knok, is the world’s most expensive, largest superyacht in the whole world. At 100 feet in length, History Supreme took three years to build, using 10,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum, both of which adorn the dining area, deck, rails, staircases, and anchor. If that weren’t luxurious enough, the master suite features a meteorite rock wall, a statue made of Tyrannosaurus Rex bones, a 68 kg 24-carat gold Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium, and a liquor bottle adorned with a rare 18.5-carat diamond.

Aye, but it's not even peak from the last few pages. @Squaredisk no need to quote whole pages, the thread has metamorphosed into its final form and just is what it is.

'I bought another boat'.

Presumably you did the right thing and inherited the money though, rather than doing anything grubby like earning it.

Some of these are a lot less gash than I expected.

I don't honestly claim to have 'earned' a lot of what my employer pays me.

a statue made of Tyrannosaurus Rex bones

This has to be one if the stupidest things I’ve ever read. Michelangelo himself could’ve assembled that statue and it would’ve added fuck all additional value.

The split between ‘middle’ and ‘working’ classes is a strange UK thing. Everyone in both groups is ‘working’ class; ‘middle’ class is just a forged identifier to break up class awareness.

Hippy’s one or two or five additional rental flats aren’t the issue. The problem is the framework that allows billionaires to accumulate and keep hundreds of billions of £ in a year while the people who created that wealth struggle to afford basic necessities, creating instability and heightening risk across the board (not to mention the immense amount of human suffering).

BlackRock own $60Bn of residential property in the US. Here in the UK we could take also look at the Dutchy of Cornwall, Duke of Westminster (30 year old, £9Bn property portfolio) etc.

Never mind joining the golf club, own it.

Taking your child out of private school and putting them in a comp to teach them valuable life lessons is pretty golf club.

It also sounds like the plot of a terrible movie

Hippy’s one or two or five additional rental flats aren’t the issue.

I'm not so sure. I know a family who own 11 rental properties in London. Not once, at any time, has a single member of that family earned enough money to secure a mortgage to buy any individual one of those properties (barring the first one where they got help from a dying relative and self certed). I think a housing market where somebody can receive a cash windfall, buy a property and then buy 10 more without ever earning enough cash to buy the first one, is a system that is broken.

Taking your child out of comprehensive school and putting them in a private school to teach them valuable materialistic life lessons is pretty golf club.

I just went to a private school open day. The differences are stark.

Secondary?

Too late. You're way too old to go now.
