Swiss Gold referendum...

I must say, this year...2014 has been the most interesting year so far. Back in September, we, The Scots had to decide whether to stay as part of the UK or go independent. Thankfully in the end, people saw sense and we're STILL part of the UK.
I grew up in Scotland BEING part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain...this in many respects is a huge privilege. Just for starters, the British Passport provides hassle free passage to most countries most of the time. Being part of a bigger country is more stable than being in a small country full of elderly and benefit (welfare) sponges...my reasons go on but I shall not dwell on it.

BACK to the main reason to this small post!

It is currently Sunday 1:06am and the Gold price is £745.56 per troy ounce and Silver price is £9.88 per troy ounce.

By this time tomorrow, there will be a decision on whether or not the Swiss banks will need to buy back 1500 TONNES of Gold at the tune of several Billion dollars at the current price.

I do hope the turn out will be a "Yes" and that Gold will need to be bought back and repatriated...I believe that any country wanting financial/economical stability should have gold reserves and that their currency is also backed by gold. This ensures that you can't just print paper "money" without more gold to back it...(if I've perked your interest...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyV0OfU3-FU)

On top of that I hope for two more things, the manipulation of Gold and Silver prices to implode and their prices to go to the point of where it should be. Equilibrium for the demand of these metals and the price has been offset...

Well... It's been a few years since my last update, and quite a bit has transpired. Since January 2020, our journey has seen the national lockdown in March/April 2020, during which Maki and Ramen held strong. In 2021, Maki and Ramen secured a prime spot in the new St. James Quarters, with yours truly being crowned Branch Manager of that flagship establishment. I put in the hard yards, but there were some twists and turns. My employer, Teddy, scheduled two events specifically on my days off, both with a hefty 50% discount. This turned my peaceful days into utter chaos for my staff. The audacity was that Teddy tried to pin the disarray on my supposed lack of organization. Fortunately, I'm not one to shy away from transparency. My work orders from the higher-ups were an open book, with both the Head of Kitchen and Head of Sushi in the WhatsApp group chats, privy to all the event planning for my branch. While we knew an event was on the horizon, the specifics were conspicuously abs...

Just ranting!

WHO THE HELL GAVE THAT WOMAN THE "BIRTH RIGHT" TO HAVE ME TAXI HER AROUND AND EXPECT ME TO JUST AGREE?!?!?! SCREW YOU TO HELL AND TO THE NEW AREA WHERE THEY ARE MAKING IT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU YOU STUPID VA***A COW!!!! OK that had to come out, here's the story, throughout this week so far, my employer's wife who is looking after the work place in his absence has used a Chinese curse word on me several times. This curse word itself curses you to basically trip over and bust your face. It sounds lame translated into English but if you are Chinese and know which word I am referring to, then you know my anger, I can take it as a joke every once in a while but when you use that consistently,  you are testing my patients on how long I can withhold from punching that face of yours! So, its 12:46am now in UK, just over 2 hours ago, I was finishing up at work, Lisa (Boss' wife) comes strolling along and says "Hakuren, you busy tomorrow morning? I need a life up t...

Sleepless...

The past few nights has been horrendous for my sleep...mother needs to book flights, she seems unable to get the flights that suits her...,relatives visiting late (i mean after 12am late, while I must be up at 7am latest)... and their constant chatter, with the occasional laughter wake me from my almost deep sleep stage! Yet they always tell me to be more considerate to those who sleep for they have work the next day... At least I've got a night out planned, that's something to look forward to as well as a couple of drinks and meeting new people! Viva Le Weekend!!!
