An impressive video by @Marylandcakes.

It's just like using the same Kenwood mixer for mixing wheat flour dough.

Thanks, I also boil unripe plaintain and use same method.

The workshop in the video can't be Nigeria.
If I was a teenager with lots of time, I would enjoy the DIY project, but no time and no equipment. Wood, hand sew, nails, catcher... Abeg, it wouldn't take a carpenter more than 30 mins to make one that would be comfortable to use.

Ok

This makes sense.

I have used table all my life but even table permits distractions like phones and so on. With this, the artists are 100% focused on one task (especially those that work with day light).

I am sure a carpenter can do this for 2k naira only (with less equipment but save time), then may be a 5k 'ready-made' drawing board.

You are an artist, start to think outside the box, if you put your mind to it , you can do it yourself. It doesn’t require the use of too many tools.

This work from home thing sef... It just can't be like office settings. That team energy is just not there...

It depends on the individual, I get more done when I work from home. No interruptions and unnecessary chitchat from colleagues.

Good day house.
I need your counsel please. I am trying to buy a few items to set up my work from home office.

Which is better between a gaming chair and an office chair?
*I tend to recline a lot and have a stiff neck and occasional back pains.
Gaming chair is better because most are ergonomic.

Do private insurance..check what the plan covers.

Or go to Nigeria but you'd need to have sufficient leave days if there are tests or procedures that need to be done.

Private health insurance doesn’t cover gynaecology issues.

No, I did not pay dart crossing charge, I'm not aware of this. My car is petrol not diesel.

I may likely travel again to London where can I initiate the dart crossing charge. Is it paying online or you can equally share the link with me.



Next time you need to drive into London , set your sat nav to avoid toll charges.

No vex, I didn't mean you were lying. Just a struggle to imagine people pay that much. I know people pay more than £4k, it's just crazy

I read the guy's comment and just shook my head. You said yours in "nearly" 4k.

I have attached a screenshot and links for Edinburgh Council and Cornwall that clearly shows council tax of over £4,000 a year and yes, non-white people are paying such tax a year.

It's the same way a person was doubting an individual with an income of £75k. Smh

Infact, let me keep my words and thoughts to myself before justwise gives me a ban. tongue

Jakumo:
I agree with the OP that black women in Europe and the USA can be perilous to date. Those in the USA are by far the most damaged by systemic racism, which predisposes them to explosive outbursts of anger that can trigger violence.

If you reside in America, avoid black American women like the plague. They are NOT at all similar to Nigerian or African women. Black American women cuss and swear like drunken sailors constantly, and they will knife or shoot their man without hesitation, even in the absence of any provocation.

Date white, Mexican or Oriental women, if you can woo them, but if you cannot, then you are far better off ALONE, than risking your life dating a black American woman, 90% of whom are grossly overweight and ugly looking anyway, as a result of eating junk food, avoiding all exercise, and instead lavishing what little welfare money they get, on ridiculous, garish colored and elaborate hair styles from hell.


You had a bad experience with a few junkies and you are tarring all black American women with the same brush? Very sad

I struggle to believe this sha.

I don’t have to justify myself to you or anyone else. It baffles me when people without doing any kind of research find one way or the other to doubt people’s statements especially on this thread. That’s why I just read and pass most of the time because a very few minority here feel that they know everything and every other person is a liar. If you are expecting me to place my ct bill on here to make you feel good that’s not going to happen.😒😒😒

Good afternoon guru, please my council tax is £1712 per year. Is this not too much?

My council tax is almost 4k per annum, so count yourself lucky.
