Never bothered investing in anything except the local bar.Gaining interest doesn't mean anything to me,just as long as I've enough to feed meself,and the odd treat of a trip away to see somewhere new,that's me happy.If I've no money I don't spend until I've got some,no tick for me,save until you can afford it or go without!If I can die penniless,leaving nothing to any f.cker,especially the government,I'll go happy!
Of course...you have some valuable pieces of artwork......
All now reframed,and hung in my private gallery/gunroom!I forgot about those investments,and unfortunately you'll have to die to become famous enough for me to cash in!
I treat it like a hobby.I could give a fook about spending it.
I just bought a second hand pair of shoes off EBay for five bucks. Good shoes an all. North Face Hedgehog hiking models. Only worn on the one side. Boiled them case he had aids and swanked off to Arizona in 'em. Fookin' bargain. (Me middle name is Isaac by he way)

"If they control your speech.....they control your life" Me
think I have said this before but at my age do not give a shit laden fart. Lad here left school and was sent for an interview to Wigan council for a job in their 'environment' department 'taking care of public facilities' (cleaning public toilets). He did not get the job, English and maths crap (pun intended). Bought mixed fruit from local market and put it in boxes and went round to local estates on his selling the fruit, took off, got a van, widened his round, no competition, got 4 vans and employed 4 lads (ex servicemen as it happens) started buying fruit direct. 10 years later well in to the £millions, house. Roller etc. Tells me he was talking to his accountant who said 'pity you did not get a better education, just think where you would be now' Mi mate sez 'more than likely cleaning shit-houses in Wigan'. End of conversation! Many of the officers I came across were educated idiots.
I knew one like that Wig. Me owd mon went to school with him. Made a fortune in the scrap game. Got sacked at William Mills Foundry (same bloke that invented the Mills Bomb) because he could not read the names of the moulds very well.... and went dragging the cut for the owd bikes and such. Then employed kids to help him drag. Then opened a tiny yard behind a boozer. Then a bigger one. Then a monster one. Then started building hydraulic machinery for processing scrap. Did very very well. Big enterprise now. Or was when I left.

The main qualities fer enterprise are initiative n common sense, the latter I av found lacking in many University geezers I av met. Also the desire ta sweat blood, shovel shit n owt that many find unpleasant. . As a one time roofer mekkin gud ackers duin a steady toss job I found the main reason wuz cos many geezers start ta shit theresens when stepping up onta the first rung of a ladder.
hen we lived in Belfast and our house was caught up in the bombing of gas station beside us in connsbrook ave and twice some bad boys tried to attack wee mary and me I applied to migrate to America and Australia. the Aussie visa came through first so we bailed out of Belfast and landed in Brisbane. so after living in oz and working in Indonesia. my daughter called me from Cleveland saying a letter from the USA consulate in Sydney invited us to come for an interview for potential immigration to the USA. so we flew from Balikpapan to Sydney and was accepted so we came to America. it only took 25 years for the paperwork to come through LEGALLY to get to America
and if you look the letter w is not where it should be at the first word when. my quote about Queensland as a huge advertising campaign for tourism to Queensland.

They have had a lot of floods, last few years, Billy. I saw a newspaper headline once, Queensland, beautiful one day, under water the next.
hen I did the high rise Australia house we had heavy rains the Brisbane river flooded the city center and all the roads surrounding Adelaide and queen st. a so-called once in a 100-year flood guess it is more than once in a 100 years.
