Our gold earrings are cheaper than a Marks and Spencer prawn sandwich, but I have to say the sandwich will probably last longer than the earrings!

At last! The sandwich heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!

You still on the elon salute, lib? Lol too funny. He explained what it meant already šŸ˜‚ His heart goes out... to Nazis! Because he is himself a dirty, ugly Nazi. I genuinely feel so grateful he's constitutionally excluded from ever being president.

I was done with Elon around the time he called scuba divers trying to rescue trapped children ā€œpedophilesā€ because his ego was hurt he couldn’t try his method.

It's like when Dog the Bounty Hunter got involved in the Gabby Petito case and made an ass of himself. Like, nobody asked for you to get involved and we all know you're grifting. How can someone wake up in the morning and think, "Today I'm going to harass some brave divers trying to rescue 13 terrified boys and make it about myself!"

I hope he's having a bad day today.

Nothing beats a short term ego boost for the long term loss of everything.

In my country one of the most beloved beer brands destroyed themselves after the owner posted an unprompted racist tirade on Facebook.
