    As of today, this is how my monthy expenditure breaks down (in US dollars)
    Income: $1,953
    Known Expenditure (Bills that are pre determined): $685
    Unknown expenditure (Bills that are determined by use of materials): $189 as an average
    Food Bills: $201
    Overall monthly increase in savings: $878 (which is then used for things such as trying to get to events, if the train network is collapsed by idiots trespassing)

    Welshman got a reaction from Simon Suraci in RentMen limiting providers to 500 characters in their descriptions.   
    With AI these days, you can still be fairly descriptive in just 500 characters (for instance):
    Prompt: Write an introduction for the website Rentmen.com in just 500 characters
    See, an absolute doddle!

    Welshman got a reaction from pubic_assistance in Retiring to Vietnam to be upper middle class for only $1,000 x month?   
    You have to bear the following in mind, the average income in Vietname is $4,163 a year, therefore everything has to be priced relative to that (for instance a loaf of bread is $1.30.

    The market closed at 39,314 yesterday (March 25) with some 686 points still to go, so whilst I believe it will get to 40,000, I cannot see it doing it this month

    Welshman got a reaction from Rod Hagen in Movies you walked out of because they were so awful   
    The last film I walked out was in 1986, when as part of a school trip, the year I was in went to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and I walked out after a scene where they were served traditional Asian cuisine (such as sheep's eyes soup) as I thought it was reprehensible.

    I've been too busy writing books to actually read them myself. Ever since I discovered that the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise was essentially an adult version of the Twilight franchise, I have been writing a series of books based on the tales of the Musketeers, featuring Henry Cardigan, who we join in 1624 as the son of the newly enobled Lord Cardigan who takes up a position in the House of Commoners at the start of King Charles I's reign.
    So far there are four books encompassed by the title "The Adventures of Henry Cardigan" which have the following volumes: 1) The English Musketeer, 2) The Titanic Musketeer, 3) The Global Musketeer, 4) The Ultimate Musketeer and the Iron Mask with to follow 5) The Olympian Musketeer, 6) The Cavalier Musketeer and then finally 7) The Phantom Musketeer
    I am also going to do some short stories at the same tine covering topics such as the Dutch tulip market of the 1630's (where he simply buys a tulip, just because he likes it and within months is beseiged by people wanting to buy the bulbs it produces) to when he finds himself stranded in 2050 due to a course deciding to take Porthos's assessment of him being strong and testing it in combination bodybuilding / powerlifting contest.
    Here's a progress of him from a cadet in 1625, a Musketeer in 1628 and as the Ultimate Musketeer in 1635 and when he is asked to attend a ball as the Ultimate Musketeer in 1644

    Welshman got a reaction from JourneysEnd in September in Europe. Where should I go?   
    The concern I have is that whilst most of the country will allow the election to go over their heads, if Reform UK feel they can win a constituency, they will campaign hard in that constituency and given how some of their discussions of late have been rather negative towards certain types of people, I am worried that a rival demonstration could easily turn into fisticuffs and we wouldn't want our friend to be caught in the middle of that now, would we?

    If you are thinking of coming to the United Kingdom in September, my personal opinion would be avoid it. Our general election has to be held before January 28th 2025 and yet everything seems to indicate an election date of mid October, which means thanks to the rules the campaign will have started at the end of July, and given how there will be a change of government there is no party of this country where you will not get accosted by a politican, therefore this year give the UK a miss in September, but you would be more than welcome next September

    As mentioned, you cannot go to Norway and not visit Grieg's house, but I would also recommend Nordkapp (otherwise known as the Northern Cape, well into the Artic Circle and level with Helsinki) because from around the middle of May to around the end of July, the sun never sets at that location

    I have been watching 1670, a Polish comedy taking modern day life and placing it in the heart of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Gunpowder, a drama about the attempted destruction of Parliament in 1605
