A higher tax in return for some freedom of speech may not be too expensive

Singapore sounds a nice place to live. Super selection and decently priced fish.

What a contrast to the UK. I bet the government don’t tax you 30%-40% on what you earn then 17.5% when you spend it in the shops…………. It isn’t fair you even get the good whether as well. I will have to move out to Singapore when I retire!!!!!!!!!

Geert, I must remember how lucky we are in January when we are up to our elbows in 2 deg water cleaning the sides of our tubs. It brings tears to my eyes just to think about it!!!!!! Have you ever tried to dry your hands on a hard frozen towel? Or how about pouring boiling water over the fish house door padlock to get it to work.

You are correct though, the cool period has its development advantages.

Hi RBT, it is no joke, for many years I earned my living as a pharmaceutical technician.

Now I have re-trained as a plumber/heating engineer to take advantage of this mad situation.
Accordingly I now have some crazy ideas to gas heat some ranchu pools cheaply using domestic heating boilers!!!!!! I will keep you posted.
Mad plumber/scientist projects to come, it should be fun.

I will have to be careful I don’t boil myself. In January I could easily be tempted to join the ranchu and back stroke a few lengths of a 75 deg ranchu pool.

I gave plenty of thought about the chilling methods for you guys but I haven’t come up with anything practical yet.

This will give you incentive to migrate to Singapore and have a third career as a ranchu consultant, How does this sound?

Cheers

As a ranchu consultant I would go very hungry……… Plenty enthusiasm but much to learn. It’s a long and perplexing road to understand ranchu …….even then standards move and evolve…The road has many twists and turns…… so many different methods to shape our work. So little time in one mans lifetime to strive for even a hint of perfection!

No wonder the Japanese have such beautiful national treasure. Can you imagine many generations of your family perfecting and enhancing the work you started on your bloodline.
