All these Turkish barber shops in town but also now as far out in places like Blaby, massively oversaturated market, often entirely empty.

 

Am I just being cynical or is there some blatant money laundering going on? 

Add to that car washes that offer cheap rates and perhaps some takeaway places that take only cash and don't appear to get much custom.

 

That being said, you see it everywhere - I sure as hell saw a load of what I thought were such fronts in Korea.

There's one near me that's actually been pretty popular since it turned up, but that's probably because it replaced what might have been the worst barbers in the Western hemisphere. 

 

I hear a lot about this, the same things being said about vape shops, tanning salons and American candy stores. Is there any truth to it though? It's taking hiding in plain site to an exciting level isn't it? 

 

I know the enforcement agencies have been hollowed out to next to nothing but it seems a bit obvious to keep setting up something there's widespread suspicion of

They're popular because they do a good job, but there is definitely something dodgy about how many of them there are.

So do the Turkish dentists, apparently.

 

Why aren't we awash with them?

We can see photo's of the far reaches of the Milky Way in HD detail.

 

Why then, is CCTV footage so shit?

The same reason photos/videos of UFOs and Bigfoot are grainy messes?

Government conspiracy!

Because of how telescopes work. 

 

They're essentially light buckets that stay still over long exposures soaking up as much light from the source as possible. Hence they gradually gain a lot of detail.

Well, today feels very Munich Beer Hall Putsch.

 

Just hope England can win the Euros tonight so that there's something to celebrate before things really go to hell in a handbasket.

....to hell in a handbasket directly it is, then.

Dentists are regulated and much more difficult to deal with I would assume. Businesses like barbers, car washes etc are easy to put cash through the till and launder any ill gotten gains.

They haven't been about in easily over a decade.

 

They've actually disbanded

Fairly sure the IRA have, in its old form, too. 

The graffiti folks need to be more specific. Are they the Continuity IRA, the Provisional IRA or the Real IRA. Might be others available! 

 

Either way, and aside from my facetiousness, clearly written by tw@ts!

Been in A&E for three and a half hours now, and I think I’m qualified to say that the majority of people who are/have been here are malingering fvckwads with no discernable ailment. 
 

Thing that’s got me most has been the number of people who wait for 30mins to an hour and then decide they’re going because they haven’t been seen quickly. 
 

Them, and the teen d1ckheads who’ve been treating the place like an adventure playground, managing to overcome fatal ailments to keep popping outside for a fag, and generally making the security’s lives miserable. 
 

Them and the couple who decided that since their request for a bed to lie down on while waiting had been ignored, helped themselves to a treatment room. 
 

How NHS staff go to work and don’t punch the public everyday is probably the most amazing thing about them.
