  • Pay off the house I live in, put 100k in trust for each of 4 family members, buy a much larger house and hire a paid staff of 3 and 1 volunteer and make it into a free shelter for single mother victims of DV and their children, set up a trust to pay for the education of both the mothers and children for the duration of their residence, and probably buy a commercial property so my mother can open a charity shop in it as she’s always wanted, and bank the rest for some interest. I’d still keep doing my job because it’s not very hard. Maybe negotiate down to 4 days a week.

    I’m pretty financially comfortable and so are the members of my family that I care about. I’ll be inheriting two houses when my separated parents die, so I’m not really sweating for retirement money.


  • I have always maintained that my concept for a pizza restaurant would work. It’s called Send Pizza. It has an app with one big button, that says Send Pizza. If you press that button, they will send you a pizza. No menu, no options, no customisation .

    Each day, there is a different type of pizza. If you want pizza, that’s the one you can have. If you don’t want that type of pizza, you don’t ask for pizza from us. Vegetarian pizzas on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.

    Want three pizzas? Press button 3 times.

    No more drunk decision fatigue or bickering over what sort of pizza. No more messed up orders. Simple, fast production line, because each day, staff are only making one kind of pizza, all day.

    Wake up. Hungry. Send pizza.

    There was a famous case of a Soviet spy who got caught by the FBI because of the way he carried his flowers.

    In the US, if someone buys flowers, then while walking with them, the person normally carries them with the flowers up, stems down. The ‘normal’ way.

    In Russia, to protect the flower tops from rain, snow, cold, and wind, the average person carries the bunch of flowers with the stems facing up/forward, flowers pointing down/back.

    This spy bought flowers for some reason, and an FBI agent noticed he carried them the Russian way.

    If you ever get a chance to read any of Joe Navarro’s books, he’s a very good writer. I highly recommend “3 Minutes to Midnight”
