Its ablaze apparently. Pier fires are quite common at least in the UK, why with all that water around don't they add a few high pressure/high flow pumps that can be switched on to extinguish such fires?

Money.
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

To be fair, Eastbourne isn't what it used to be - they really don't need a pier just to sell kiss-me-quick hats and candy floss.

Beautiful
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

They do, in fact, falsely advertise. I had been using it several months ago to begin monitoring my score (very poor) as I paid off the few bad debts I had. Credit Karma reported a TransUnion score that I thought was about right. Well, come to find out, my true TransUnion score was actually about 40 points LOWER.
Credit bureaus use a proprietary formula to calculate the score. Credit Karma simply "guesses" the formula, so you never see your true score. It can be higher or lower, and by A LOT -- not just a little.
I found out when a financial adviser pulled all three of my major bureau reports (the paid kind) from the bureaus themselves. When I saw the difference in scores, I asked him, and he told me about the "guessing" formula.
What a shame that people actually believe Credit Karma is a good tool. Haha.

Not very sure, if it would be scam under Google's ownership. But yes agree most of the credit score websites are into scam.
Change is a pattern of life.

But they don't give you your "score" for free. Not anymore, anyway.
You just get a zillion pages of credit history, which is nice for checking to be sure no one is screwing you over.

I was talking to the husband of a friend at the weekend. We were in the grounds of his (and his father's) old school, at a boozy picnic. He was well oiled and started telling me about his dad - I took it with a pinch of salt at the time, but decided to look him up and this is what I found[^]. Forget most of his life, just look what he did between the ages of 16 and 20.

It makes you think what the Obituaries of todays kids will look like in 80 years time.
"Jaayson managed to get to level 224 of Angry Birds"
or
"Deztiny was able to claim job-seekers allowance for a full 8 years before it was discovered that she had been working"

Reads to me like everything he tried to do failed, but he always managed to survive.
Some people just seem to be difficult to kill.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
