Aye it does come across like that

I have a mate, he's just over 10 years older than me. He doesn't have a mortgage and no wife / kids etc. Lives a frugal life. He works in the same industry as me (it's how we met). Anyways, he left the company we met after being made redundant about 9 years ago. Since then he has jumped about a few companies. I think his longest stint at a company is two years and that's because he was worried about the industry during Covid. He left that company last April and has since not worked in the industry. Fine, he's sensible with his cash, has savings etc. He's been looking for a job in the industry since April. We shall return to that soon. About 3 months ago he started doing some coach driving (He's got all his licenses from when he was in the forces) to keep him busy and get back in a routine. Back to his job search back into my industry. He had 3 offers. One he accepted. On the Sunday, the day before he was due to start he emailed them saying he wouldn't be starting. The reason 'Something didn't feel right' Fine. One he declined, didn't want to travel into the centre every day. But he knew that when sending his CV and accepting an interview. Another one, he declined as 'The work there looked boring' He seems to be enjoying the driving work. It's flexible, some weeks he does 3 days, some 4 and it's not long hours. He looks genuinely content. We went out last week for a ride and a coffee. We cycle to this cafe and sit down, he said to me 'Are you treating me? I am only on £12.50 an hour now' with a grin on his face. I laughed and said I would get the coffee and cake. He's a good mate, drives a lot when we go places, so that doesn't bother me. I ask him how work is. He told me he was enjoying the driving but the wage wasn't great, but he had an interview lined up but it was in York. He didn't sound excited one bit. I laughed and said everything isn't about brass and if he can get by on his driving wage doing 3/4 days surely thats better than a bigger days working longer hours and travelling to York every day. He's just messaged me. Saying he had an offer from the job, his words 'the offer went into my spam, should have stayed there. £45k!' I am due to go away with him for a few days on the bike and I just know I will have him talking about his poor wage yet he's turned down decent job offers. People say youngsters are entitled now, but fuck me. This lad. What's he expecting? There's thousands would rip hands off for even half that wage he's been offered and the conditions. It's annoyed me some what. Which won't be a surprise to many I can just see our rides out etc getting less as he's put himself in the situation and tbh I am not going to keep getting the coffee etc if he's turning graft down!

I've seen loads about Meslier and how teams like Man Utd are after him. He's fucking GASH

They're also after a Real player.

A pal told me the other day, that if you remove the economy of London away, the UK is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Behind countries like Slovenia. I've tried looking for this but can't find it, but if true that's shocking
