    Chris Grayling is a fuck wit of a minister who privatised every department he goes into including employment with work programmes, probation and continue to keep the piss poor franchise that run the trains. He is an evil bastard and waiting in the wings to become prime minister.

    Off topic but I took a train in China from a small city to Beijing. It was a 19hr trip. The train had those sleeping cars, looked like our trains I see in the movies from the fifties. Dinner service to your room. Really cool way to travel

    Cheap as chips, good one. Yes, with the western conversion you don’t need much money to live like a king in China as long as you are not scared to leave the spots that cater to westerners. Master if u are looking for real cheap living I can recommend a few spots in Afghanistan

    Ironically foreigners cannot buy property in India which is kind of unfair considering how many Indians own property in the UK. I have thought about retreating to somewhere cheap and reclusive, but it's temp contracts, restrictions and uncertainty. Impossible to do a Robinson Crusoe anymore.

    I think you can cheat that law by paying someone to use their name.

    In Saudi Arabia I think it is the same?
