14 - good to have a hobby I suppose. It seems he  must always be on the job 

Del and Rodney, or was it Dave?
To buy from them you'd have to be brave
Hookey this and dodgy that
If copper appeared you could be sure they'd scat

It's an interesting thought that as he is rich he doesn't need to increase that wealth. I don't think it works that way. Musk is the richest man on the planet and he is still working as is Bezos. I don't think the majority who get rich just retire - they still want more. I think what Blair really wants is to be popular again which is probably why he is now supporting a populist topic. He couldn't really start condemning mass migration or war mongering after all could he.

I think some people actually like to work because they like to work .
Ie someone like David Attenborough
If you have a boring soul destroying job it's different.

Elon Musk is a strange character a uber  genius who I suspect has to be doing something .
He certainly doesn't need the dosh he's the richest man in the world .
$839 BILLION
Have you noticed he always has a child in tow?
( he has I believe 14 ) none of whom need to worry about getting a mortgage

You don't see the council using tools
Not since Trigger in Only Fools
Same broom for years he always said
Forgetting that he'd changed the head
To get a new one was against the rules.

I always do the eye first Scrumpy as I can't bear a blank eye it's spooky and the eyes are the windows of the soul. I believe animals have souls .
I will put him away now to dry ( and probably forever ) I have loads of never finished paintings.

Quote from: klondike on May 29, 2026, 10:56:42 AMIt's quite a skill. Not sure if it's possible to learn but my natural skills never progressed much beyond those of a 8 year old. Not a talented one either.

I do think that it is a gift to draw I have always drawn things from being a little girl.
Got me in deep do dah at school as all my exercise books were covered in doodles 
But anyone can learn and like anything with practise get better 
( except for me and maths) 
But I find painting hard and it's getting harder as my eyesight gets worse .

Quote from: klondike on May 29, 2026, 11:06:40 AMIf you always despised the Tories then you can't really be expected to support Reform. As Alex says though there is no need to bad mouth them with unsupportable insults. The current government are authoritarian not Reform. With over 30% public support they can be considered to be right of centre but cannot be considered to be to the far right of the general public concensus.

Here is the definition - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=define%3A+fascist&hl=en examples given are Hitler and Mussolini

I'm sorry, I don't despise the Tories, I have only twice not voted Tory, but 
I think they have lost their way. I am afraid of Reform and what they might 
do if they got into power. However I will avoid posting on political threads 
in future.

Clever painting..
The look in his eyes tells us he is waiting patiently for something ... a treat perhaps.. or the word 'walk'...

Yes, BLiar is rich and he doesn't need to be working in politics for a living.  He does, however, feel that he is regarded and applauded by the people, even though most of us certainly do not congratulate him.  In my opinion, he should simply be ignored and, hopefully, he will eventually disappear!

Yes, I agree with what he is saying at present, but I'd never think about voting for him.

I do hope you're wrong .
