Tracker funds. Fixed interest. Index linked. Percentages. Projections. Advantages. Disadvantages. Options.
I've been, not for the first time, confronted by my own idiocy when it comes to financial arrangements. I met the nice man today because, well, should the next thirty years happen past in a blur the size of my life to this point, I'm fucked.
He was thorough and helpful and generous with his time. I was nodding and commenting and thinking about lunch for the full two hours.
I left the building with a convulsing gut and a throbbing head. I went this way and then that way, passing back by the building's exit three times before finally my bearings were got and the one word prevailed.
That word? Lasagne.
I stuffed away the envelope still stuck to my hand and went in search of some grub.
It will, in all likelihood, remain untorn for at least a month.

Didn't understand a word of what you just said there. Interest. Percentages. Projections. Blah, blah, blah. Sounds like you needed that lasagne :-)
Elephant. Toothpaste.
Dot - I did.
Meadow - Scandinavia. Water.
It was your subconscious whispering, "I'm too young for all this!"
Reason with the head...listen to the stomach. ;)
La Sag-Ne. Good move.
Lasagne is always the answer Radge. Consistency in a world gone mad.
I do love that 8 times ourra ten it's written as LASANGE on chalkboards outside Dublin cafes!
I haven't had a lasagna in ages, or an unopened envelope for that matter. Both sound appealing, but some sound financial advice is what I really crave.
hope - Duly noted.
Sarah - It was only adequate. Bargain basement stuff.
Narocroc - One of many misspelled foods.
Red - Invest in Radge.
Now, my video is crammed with you...
Life assurance is a killer.
Give it all up and go live with Trappist monks or pick lima beans in the back of beyonds somewhere, you know it makes sense.
That's what I'm doing.
Terence - I was thinking it had been a while.
Misspelled foods - expresso instead of espresso is probably the most common.
Think my favourite was on an Indian take away menu, under the description for Okra: "deep fried ladies fingers". Yum!
Elmo - what is okra?
Is that Elmo of Creative Ireland Elmoness?
Homelaster - Yes. She doubles up as my sibling.
What's Creative Ireland Elmoness?
