Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

Yes.

the station doesn’t have super unleaded so I can’t fill up anyway

If it helps bring you to tumescence neither of my cars are supposed to run on unleaded.

Neither of my cars

Neither of my

Some entitled prick owns something and even worse more than one of those items, burn them

amidoingitright?

Dude, you got all salty when the thread got derailed and people stopped quoting golf club posts - to the point that you started another thread to get this one back on track.

Now it's back on track you're grumpy.

You can't have it both ways.

😬

Owning 2 cars isn't golf club. Owning a collection which requires its own barn or industrial unit to store them in is golf club.

What if one is a merc and the other is the 911 that Porsche were too sensible to consider?

He first got salty when quoted about his'n'hers chainsaws, I think.

The minutiae of what is a good/bad landlord is almost irrelevant. If the rich and businesses were taxed properly I feel like it wouldn’t be such a mess. Plenty people I know have bought second homes to rent out to cover some retirement income as they’ve been self employed all their lives so haven’t had access to pensions where the employer contributes a share as well. Which seems totally reasonable tbh. It’s a world apart from the student flat slumlords we get round here, who own shiploads of properties, don’t look after them, and contribute fuck all to the area.

Been salty for years. This thread was started by someone who once asked how to invest his two inheritances. The levels of hypocrisy are brilliant. This is a forum where people are often egging each other on to buy ludicrous bikes/components yet fail to understand others might have additional niche interests.

Hmmm, having been a tenant of both good and bad landlords, I felt the distinction was extremely relevant.

I suspect the difficulty here is defining 'properly'.

At the risk of seeming pedantic, that does seem a little inconsistent with the statement 'The minutiae of what is a good/bad landlord is almost irrelevant.' The distinction between good and bad landlords can't be both irrelevant and a world apart.

Personally I think the concept of Georgeism/Geoism has a lot to commend it. Sadly, introducing it would be such an upheaval, and would bring about a crash in property prices that would have the Daily Mail frothing at the mouth (as usual), that it'll never happen. Still, When The Revolution Comes it wouldn't be a bad start.

Nah, still not golf club. A second-hand Merc and a 996 isn't golf club. Golf clubbists would spit on a 996, no matter how epically ludicrous and spenny its engine is.

It was a maximally lazy post on my behalf as I was sick of people squabbling over it.

You make good points.

Definitely not golf club. The appropriate golf club response is "Fuck you, Commie scum". 5/7 for effort though.

Mate, FB not wanting to piss away an inheritance is not the same as the vast majority of this thread, c’mon.

Ah, but was FB aware of their privilege? Discuss...

I dunno, but having met the geezer at his gaff (he was very kind, generous and helpful), it seems a bit disingenuous to suggest he’s landed gentry, or even golf club fodder like many of the posts here.

FWIW even at it’s most jovial I don’t think this thread is particularly great and just serves to wind people up.

I think people getting wound up by it are mad that they feel seen.

Oh 100%

Still think it’s more divisive than productive. But I’d be lying if I said I thought many of the posts in this thread didn’t deserve the derision they received.

At the risk of getting all serious in a thread which is intended to be anything but, there are worse things than being quoted in the Golf Club thread. By a factor of, well, lots. Times lots. To the factor of even more. I'm getting better at Checking My Privilege, and an occasional bit of ribbing in this thread is very far from the worst thing I'll face.

As my Lady and Saviour Ms Taylor Swift once said, "snakes and stones never broke my bones".

At its worst this thread is pretty harmless. At its best it's a reminder of how privileged everyone here is. SJW out.

This thread reminds me of the labour party - a bunch of people with a mutual common interest who insist on tearing themselves apart.

The fucking Judean People's Front. Splitters.

And the Popular Front of Judea.
