A four-bedroom house that is covered in pigeon poo has sold at auction for £100,000.
The semi-detached property in Devon has views of the Bristol Channel, but the top two floors are caked in poo that is 1ft (0.3m) high in places.
Father and son duo John and Guy Jones paid more than double the £45,000 asking price for the Ilfracombe house.
"I just wish that less people had seen it," Mr Jones said. "I could have got it a bit cheaper."

So if I go to Walmart to buy bananas people are going to be trying to sell me ****? **** that.Walmart says these "smart assistants" will reduce the amount of time workers spend on "repeatable, predictable and manual" tasks in stores and allow them to switch to selling merchandise to shoppers and other customer service roles.Comment

Well, then now you can write an essay about the thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

How is Trump going to get the blame for this?It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

He did recommend using planes to try to extinguish the flames.

Yeah, fighting a reasonably limited, though big, fire on a small island in the midst of a river are of course best done with planes. He really have some strange ideas about how firefighting is done.
Did his tweet say whether the planes should carry fire extinguishing stuff or maybe some bombs ?With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Actually it was helicopters dropping big loads of water. Unfortunately, Trump did not do well in physics and did not realize that dropping a ton of water on an old stone work building would destroy the building even more surely than the fire.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Just build a wall around the building, once the wall is completely surrounding the building on all sides (and top) the lack of oxygen will cause the fire to go out. It will also keep out the drugs, rapists, and future wives.Comment

Just saw this from Fortune Magazine, published about a month ago:
National debt also through the roof. It's like Trump heard people mocking him for finding a way to bankrupt casinos and said, "You ain't seen nothin' yet."The Commerce Department reported Wednesday the U.S. posted a more than $891 billion merchandise trade deficit last year - —the largest in the history of the country.
Significantly, the trade deficit with China hit a record $419 billion, despite a series of tariffs the administration imposed on Chinese goods to decrease reliance on imports.
Meanwhile, the overall goods and services deficit jumped 19% between November and December 2018, to $59.8 billion, the highest monthly trade deficit in 10 years.
The data shows that Trump’s America First policies to close the trade gap haven’t had their desired effect. Americans are importing far more from abroad than they are exporting—imports grew 7.5% while exports increased only 6.3%.
What’s more, Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut enacted in late 2017 served to further fuel the deficit. The government had to borrow to pay for the cut, and some of those dollars came from foreign investors.

At least Trump didn’t suggest the fire was caused by lack of raking the cité streets.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment
