“It would be a very odd chancellor of any UK government that insisted on a course of action that cost their own businesses hundreds of millions of pounds, that blew a massive hole in their balance of payments and, because assets and liabilities go hand in hand, would potentially leave the rest of the UK shouldering the entirety of UK debt.” HandsGovernmentWould BeActionCoursesMillionsBalanceCostDebtHolesOddPoundsMassiveAssetsPaymentHand In HandOwn BusinessLiabilityEntiretyAssets And Liabilities Author:Nicola Sturgeon

“I buy a tractor two years ago, and four-fifths of the tractor manual is about not tipping over, not raising the bucket high enough to hit high-tension wire... not killing yourself, basically. And in that manual, I found out - and it cost me a thousand dollars - that when the tractor is new, 10 hours into use of the tractor, you have to re-torque the lug nuts. If you don't, you will oval the holes. This is buried between the moron warnings. I never found it. I take the tractor in for its regular servicing, and they say my wheels are gone. How am I supposed to know that? "It's in the manual."” IfsKnowsYearsTwoEnoughUseFoundHoursGoneFourCostThousandYears AgoDollarsKillingHolesTensionWheelsTwo YearsBuriedWarningNutsWireManualsMoronBucketsTippingKilling YourselfOvalTwo Years AgoTractorsTorque Author:P.

“That’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s the evil that’s seducing you. The malevolent power that is crawling through your blood tempting you onto a treacherous path that will cost you everything you love and hold dear. You have to let that anger go before it’s too late. Vengeance always turns inward and it will consume you until nothing’s left but an empty hole that nothing can fill.
