    Oh Dear: Get ready for a regular stream of negativity from the DM

    Seems positive to me...

    The Daily Mail has uncovered the astonishing story of a self-building, Passat-driving IT contractor whose home is worth a staggering €809,999. This jaw-dropping revelation has sent shockwaves through the country as people question how one person could amass such wealth.

    According to our sources, this contractor, who we will refer to as Mr. X, started off as a humble IT professional. But with his expertise in the field, he soon rose through the ranks and began to command a high price for his services. It wasn't long before he had saved up enough money to embark on an ambitious project: building his own dream home.

    Despite having no previous experience in construction, Mr. X threw himself into the project with gusto. Armed with nothing but YouTube tutorials and a can-do attitude, he set about constructing his home from scratch. And against all odds, he succeeded. Today, his home is a shining example of what can be achieved with determination and hard work.

    But that's not all. Mr. X's choice of vehicle has also caused a stir. While many wealthy individuals opt for luxury cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris, Mr. X chooses to drive a humble Passat. Some have speculated that this is a deliberate attempt to downplay his wealth and blend in with the masses.

    And while Mr. X's success story may seem like an inspiration to others, some have voiced concerns about the message it sends. Is it fair that one person can amass such wealth while others struggle to make ends meet? And what does it say about our society that someone can build a home worth almost a million euros through sheer determination and hard work?

    These are questions that only time will answer. But for now, the story of Mr. X and his self-built, Passat-driving lifestyle is sure to continue to captivate and inspire us all.

        Welcome back Milan

        We now have 4 cars (one of the kids drives now and the wife has Threaded tendencies so has a minibus and a little Peugeot) , the mighty Mondeo went to car heaven at 131,000 miles. Now I have a Kia.

        Moved to a bigger house in a quiet cul de sac complete with net curtains.

        2 Kids away at University so very quiet.

        Still a permie but I work for a consultancy which is fun.

        Loving ChatGPT its going to make my job interesting.
