What are we on, less than two months since I wrote this piece and Paris, Limoge and Marseilles are literally burning, guessing I got my last chance to see Paris as it was. Amazing how quickly things can change and fascinating thinking about where we could be in another two months……. Here we go…… But saying this, the Parisians couple still prioritising the finer things in life, as Brits did in the blitz, they can just carry on. I wonder if I could do the same, I would at least know that as the country and the city I live burned, my money would be safe, and maybe when there was a lull in hostilities, I’d quietly exit stage left……. By that I mean head to my country bolt hole (mother’s house)

I didn

but maybe I won

Couple enjoy a drink as fires burn nearby amid Paris unrest – video

A couple were seen enjoying a drink close to the Arc de Triomphe on Saturday, close to where some of the main rioting took place in central Paris

Great work gentlemen as always, @Ben Sessions and @npub1klkk...x3vt , always need to up my privacy game, put my phone finally in lockdown mode and just need to sort my purchase of a Google pixel 10, but definitely not an 11! 🫡🙌 And then I realised something with Max’s example, if someone ever uses Alice and Bob in an example for communication of transactions, i want to be their friend and if they need a place to sleep, my door is always open. Will then just hope the reason I use those names is the same reason they use those names and it isn’t because they read this post. Iykyk. 🫡🙌

Gm nostriches, made it through Monday even with students appearing to be oblivious of any chance they may have misunderstood something/been told the wrong answer by AI. A day of marking ahead, but also interested to see what transpires over the channel and whether any sparks will be lit over here. Latest news in the Nottingham killer, he’s been receiving £800 a month mental health benefits…….. yeah, and people are surprised when there are riots and the country had no money. We can’t hate the government enough……. Import someone with mental health, they kill our best and brightest, and we give them room and board and cash in hand. Ok, before getting annoyed, will try out my new crepe maker to channel my inner Parisian! Balaclava packed for the way into work, baton picked up…… or maybe I’ll sort some sugar and lemon for the kid’s breakfast!!!! #coffeechain

Coming back through Nottingham town centre today , the circuses the city council put on to spend debt to distract us from the police officer getting shot or nhs staff accessing victims medical record but it just looked different to me today. It is simply a way for filling up the big space, break up flow in the city, and hope it will be enough to stop any gatherings with the subsequent riots and looting that could ensure. Totally wild times and wondering whether to just leave the whole Christmas market tomfoolery for another year. If there is a mass gathering of students, as there were videos of fights in student residences and a student of mine who got stabbed, this is making the point where I just up and leave my house gets a little closer. Wilds times.

Gm nostriches, happy Monday! Students handing in some coursework today, so a little more space in my day, time to finish of the piece about 90’s sport cars as the way of maintaining an important part of culture, well maybe just the culture of a Middle Aged white guy, but aren’t we the corner stone of family and value creation? so can’t we drive something that puts a smile on our faces? So global economy, how’s the bond market going? That shit? Oh cool, hope all the hedge funds out there are able to make ends meet. Time for a deep breath today, great fun getting the parents over for Sunday lunch out yesterday (the son/dad job of keeping everyone together), and grabbed a cheeky half of “epiphany”, such a great name for a beer and provided a good laugh for everyone around the table “half an epiphany please!!!!” Tomorrow, the assignments will be in, and the short turnaround marking will get underway!!!! #coffechain Oh, new bond doom loop where higher rates don’t just mess with the value of the bond, they also reduce demand for more, because obligations are being covered by what companies already own…… hmmm this one is a little weird, unsure I fully understand this but whey hey, I don’t own bonds so no problemo!!!!!

How much of nerd? Hmmm, see a car on Friday, think about it all day yesterday, write 1561 words about why that car is important in relation a bitcoin . #nostrread coming tomorrow.

Just because “they are the front line” and “they are our emergency service” doesn’t mean they aren’t fuckers within there, if we want to cut costs in the NHS this just shows there are a lot of staff members who are fundamentally bad people, then after that dump all the dead weight (no pun intended). Take them off the pedestal and make them compete like the private sector. I hate this attack but this just pulls the curtain back.

“What really broke Germany was the constant taking of the soft political option in respect of money” Fergusson, (1975, p.255) when money does. What was it that Starmer was able to deliver during the 2 years of his 2024-2026 premiership? pay rises of public services (to prevent disorder) and not making any cuts to the benefits expense bill (to secure future votes). Only ever further increasing the deficit to prevent public/political discomfort, which can only be viewed as a process of deliberate, malicious devaluation of the currency that those outside benefits and the public sector are attempting to earn/generate. They say history does not repeat, I would add, does not repeat exactly. the nighmare of the British (western democracies) hyper-#inflation, “when the pound dies”

Gm nostriches, clicked on some Saturday morning podcast listening in bed with a #coffeechain, Jessy Gilger with @walker is a little treat. Hey Jessy, where is your npub? In moments, becoming accepting of I MAY “have enough”, but I probably don’t have enough Saturdays (whether as a cool dad, or generally) to waste any. CFA; they couldn’t fee it, so they couldn’t see it. 🫡🙌 well played! Looking forward to welcoming my mother to visit for the weekend, will get some time with the kids, a bit of pizza dough prep for dinner that everyone can be part of, maybe with a little wine for me and my ma, providing the company she likes while watching strictly! Maybe not my first choice for entertainment, it is spending time and demonstrating to my kids “ first choice.”! #catstr joining the calm.

Ga nostriches, totally fascinating @npub14mcd...frlx show with a prof who is willing to make a wood power conversion for a car, love it. But what was most interesting was the idea of going back in time and informing people about germs and the need to wash their hands “after taking a shit”. Just wondered, out of interest, has there been a change in the number of reported food poisonings over the last 20 years after hearing a guy not wash his hands after taking a piss. Hmmm, so what did Brexit actually delivery? Bangalore belly? Take out the 2020 outlier and that R squared jumps to 0.8.

Gm nostriches, after a bit of a delay, the “dad” birthday gifts arrived yesterday, new biking gloves for the eldest, grips and pedals for the youngest, great opportunity to slightly customise her new bike, while also showing anyone in the know there is support behind the scenes. Actually considering whether I need some new grips as these purple #deathgrips (all 3 of us have this type, custom designed by a racer years ago and also simply cool). Purple anodising just harks back to my early nineties youth so hard!!!! But “death grip” (also an awesome biking movie) is when you hang onto the bars, fingers off breaks, knowing the best way through is to let it all go, more speed, more commitment the better. And so, barrelling into mid October, price action not really doing what the moon boys promised, but still, not choosing to Luke Groman it and wait for a lower entry, a Jordie Visser looking for the “next micron”. Full commitment, only one way through the upcoming “distinction” let’s say, Deathgripping onto the cold hard sats, waiting to hit that “hardline” 40 ft kicking and pulling the 100ft backflip!!!!!! Take it easy freaks! Are this morning’s students ready!!?!?? https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dehk729tgCM/?exln=Zzd3a3IxMWc5N2xw
