Skweezing lemons till the pips pop ……. Lemin-aid all round Investments uh ! I’ve made mine in Ls400s it seems ….. Japanese style too Malc

You mention Japan ……. Just checking my Black Rock stuff and it’s ( Japan ) pretty moribund these past couple of years ……. time maybe to switch it to that rout-ingesque Chinese opportunities 😂 Malc

Thinking it’s already that “ rout “ ……. deeper and deeper rout trundling along inexorably until that magic moment arrives when someone will see that “ opportunity “ to pop a trillion or so into that Chinese situation …… it will happen I’m sure, just don’t know when into that daily deepening “ rout” …… someone’s going to be buying at some level hugely distressed I’m sure ……. just don’t know when and with who’s money 🥳 Malc

I dont doubt for one minute that this " rout " will turn into that amazing buying opportunity ........... perhaps by different investors and the newly found oil rich countries emerging ... such as Brazil maybe Is that scarred or scared or both maybe 😉 you have to laugh ..... China will soon become fully investable again, probably within the next 6 / 18 months ......... let's try to see and watch who's actually buying all this bombed out " rout " $2tn for maybe that .................. $1tn wonder if Black Rock might have a " go at it " ? would I vote for them to, well, probably YES 🤣 Malc

Potholes can simply destroy tyres and a tube of gunk won’t fix that …… you’re clearly immune thankfully 🥳 You've been very fortunate never to need Breakdown Cover …….. lots of £££££ saved AND all that useful space free in your cars not carrying that totally useless spare wheel and jack I'm sure your plan of inaction will continue to find favour with the gods 🤥 Blessed are the few and that clearly includes yew 😇 Good luck Malc

I think an issue might be that the Patrol Van has none left on his day's endeavour maybe ............ having used them all-up prior to getting your call I think i would still want to carry one if at all possible Malc

I just try to use each of mine every other day to go somewhere ........... keeps everything in fine fettle I hope and makes sure nothing seizes from lack of use .... also they don't need refuelling quite so often 🤣 Malc

On reflection I’m not at all sure that Tyneside name was the one …… is there another post anywhere here I wonder ? The company I read its website seemed much less “ professional and glossy “ than this one ! When I moved to Queenborough Kent some 11 years ago we had a bespoke independent classic car glass production small works factory I had a short tour of part once That’s now closed and gone to Pilkington up north ….. it’s now owner There must surely be a small bespoke classic car glass producer somewhere in the UK ? where the prices are affordable 🤔 Theres specialist tiny classic car tyre producers in the uk like Blickley, why not another glass one too Malc

Just so long as those corporations aren’t Russian Oligarchical style controlling absolutely everything for the absolute benefit of the Few Google is or has got that way to date with online advertising total control ……. Govts globally have little or zero say in how the internet is run by Google ( for Google’s benefit ) just my present experience at “ the face” of running an internet business Malc

Not in my dear daughters experience at all Might be she was just unlucky then ok then forget what I’ve been saying …… run around with that tube of gunk to fix that blowout destroyed tyre 😄 No one needs to ever carry a spare wheel or space saver these days, your breakdown recovery RAC AA whoever will sort it all out for you whatever whenever 24/7 👍 Malc

The BreakDown service will carry all the appropriate jacks etc but NOT a spare wheel for you ! Malc

Maybe from my “Office “ in Delhi too 😂 Who knows what on earth will be happening in 2 years let alone 32 years time ….. my forecast lifespan to about 106 👏……. not sure I’ll be driving, let alone my then 60 and 65 years young Ls400s 😇 ps. I don’t have Crystal Balls 🤣 Malc

But those jobs 30 years ago, when USA could seriously influence the way China was developing were simply for China to create its own modern way of living …… modern being to bring things into line with American modes …… remember I was saying that about that time China sent it’s youth to study in USA and bring back to the China homeland the modern way ( in USA terms ) of research, education and wealth creation ….. and massive increases in manufacturing capacity with “ modern “ technology at tiny ( to USA ) comparative cost Trump and Biden will whinge and whine whatever over everything and anything Chinese BUT, like India, that won’t stop or significantly curtail the inexorable rise and rise of the next two great World economies …… with approaching 40% of world population in their homelands and massive population shifts into every other country in the world …….. even western countries and “ economies “ That ship has long gone, sailed away, and one just has to accept that’s the way it’s more or less really going to be I think 🤔 Malc

Trump volatile ... who'd have guessed . trying to jail others .. from his own cell incarceration no doubt ! 🤣 Who knows ....... maybe China will find some rare minerals in that part of northern Russia it wants to mine . Oh, that part bang next door to Alaska maybe 😇 Malc

but maybe not much use on a Sunday or 2am in the morning or on a Bank Holiday when all is shut ! I know, happened to my daughter in her Arbath with no spare wheel or spacesaver ............... no substitute for a sparewheel when all is against you ....... but it wasn't raining ! Malc

no odder than the photographer no doubt 🤣 Malc

for whom ? Malc

but Musk has made his happy fortune . just reading his paycheck recently was for $69 billion and the Delaware Court is trying to upset that by saying it's unfair ............ unfair on all the poor souls buying his Tesla cars for sure 🤣 Malc

Merhinks the world is taking it's time to wake up to the simple fact that China is enormous in all respects and will wield whatever economic actions it deems appropriate whenever and wherever ( within it capabilities ) it wishes ........ anywhere in the World more or less Someone at the World Bank was it quoted me using the term Vassal for Russia being likely soon " under the thumb " of Xi and coy ................. China like India is just a great chunk of the world population but India is a democratic powerful Nation but with holiness and peace at it's core ....... thankfully 😉 A lesson it would be good and wise for the China State to embrace Malc

Jeez, don't even think about postponing this op ............. afterwards you'll find the sensible way to full recovery and your son will still be there and simply adjust to whatever he needs to for you Your health is far more important than the whim of a holiday ... that can take place with you chilling out and letting others take the helm ! Malc

it's totally your choice BUT if you don't have one the RAC / AA whatever can't get you mobile again ...... they have all the necessary jacks etc so you don't need those . provided you have BreakDown Cover ok I can guaranteee that if you get a busted tyre . a pothole, on a Sunday night, Bank Holiday, 2am in the morning you WILL thank me for urging you to have that spare wheel It's so amazingly inconvenient if you don't have one ! Malc

Wot a pair of beauties 👍 Malc

I’ve sure learnt from all this ……. the throughout life exercise and good dietary de-stressing regime one needs to follow …… throughout life …… just doesn’t overcome the unfortunate genetic hereditary curved balls you’re given one must just do all one can oneself to keep on the “ right side “ of ok health …… as best as one can the Gods have their turn at tipping it all upside down and there’s probably bugger all you can do about that It will all work out fine for you Neil …… we’re all rooting for you 🙏 Malc

That’s one way to save fuel for sure Well done. Just don’t put yourself at risk of being hit by any car drivers you’re upsetting 😂 Malc

buy a spacesaver spare wheel instead ? Malc
