themimsyborogove replied to your post “you got it back!!”
I saw a post yesterday that people who had empty sideblogs were getting their main accounts terminated. Is that what happened?
SO HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED! I wanted to write a little thing quick just in case anyone else is in a similar spot.
A little while back I used to have this blog and a few other blogs. Instead of creating them as sideblogs, there was this gmail trick going around people were using. So like, if your gmail is [email protected], and you had a blog under that, you could make a new blog under [email protected] and tumblr would think it’s a different e-mail, when really it just sends everything to your regular e-mail (nothing after the plus sign matters, you could write whatever there and it’d redirect to your regular e-mail). So you could make a blog under [email protected], etc, etc, and run them all as primary blogs instead of having the subaccounts you can’t follow from. (if that makes any sense. it probably only does if you’ve used it before lol)
...which apparently, just now, they caught onto and went ‘Hey, the things we send you aren’t going to the e-mail you have listed, something is not legit here’ and terminated my account. maybe the company that bought out tumblr is just better at paying attention, lol. I managed to prove it was me and get it back but just in case anyone else made some blogs under that little trick, just a heads-up in case they do it to more of them, you might want to get a solid, legitimate e-mail for those now to avoid any potential issues.
So yeah. I had a night of slight existential crisis over my blog potentially being lost forever but I exist and I’m back and all is well. I don’t know if this is the case for other blogs/sideblogs, but I figured I might as well share in case anyone else is in the same boat! Also that whole g-mail thing is really confusing to explain if you haven’t done it before so sorry if that made NO SENSE. xD

Las Vegas TP Run in Nov 2019: Day 2 - London Heathrow to Washington Dulles on Fri 22 Nov 2019
Got a decent amount of sleep for a change. I woke at around 1am, but got back to sleep without too many problems. Woke again at 6am with a very sore back - probably down to the hard mattress.
The room I selected at the Hilton Garden Inn was long and thin - not really ideal, but for one night I wasn’t going to make a fuss.
Although my first flight of the day wasn’t until almost midday, I decided it was pointless hanging around the hotel, so I got up and headed to T5 to chill out in the CCR. I’d have access to a great breakfast, Starbucks and loads of shopping opportunities.
When I reached Hatton Cross tube, I had obviously just missed a T5 train, so I had to hang around for a good 10 mins before the next one arrived. That meant there were quite a few people waiting, and there were numerous people who had switched from the T4 train a few mins earlier, to make the more straight forward connection to T2/3 via the T5 train. By the time I got on, it was packed. It’s not like this when I am on the 05:10 train - it’s always nice and quiet at that time!
I joined in the run from the train to the lift, and managed to get on with two other guys before they shut the lift doors. That’s always entertaining - I think it’s sad that people decide they need to run for the lift, but on the other hand, I love joining in with them! What does that say about me?
Heathrow T5 was very quiet. Christmas trees were up in the check in area, and TFW was also very quiet, although the x-ray scanners were a tad busy with a few passengers waiting to empty the contents of their bags.
No issues with my liquids bag this time - they didn’t seem to be too bothered. However, dopey me forgot to take out my laptop, so my rucksack ended up on the far side of the post-scanning bag collection line again. Only took one min before I was on my way though.
The CCR was also quiet, and breakfast was as good as always. Some of the staff were less than friendly - they could do with attending a customer service course! Anyway, others were much nicer. It didn’t detract from my enjoyment of my full English breakfast however.
Since my onward flight to LA was with AA, I had the normal challenge of not being able to check in and print my boarding pass for that flight. The BA website tells me to check in via the operating carrier (AA), and the AA website thinks I want to check in to the flight I am waiting to take (a BA flight). Neither mechanism allows me to check in.
I always resort to asking BA in T5 to check me in to my AA flight, which after some resistance they managed to do. It amazes me how some of the BA staff in the lounges do not have any real world experience of how to deal with these normal passenger issues. The older and more experienced staff know what they can and can’t do. The younger and less experienced members of staff initially think they can’t, but after some cajoling, they realise they can. It’s almost like us seasoned travellers are here to train the inexperienced members of BA staff!
Flight: BA0217 Equip: A380 Sched Depart: 11:50 Actual: 11:57 Sched Arrival: 15:15 Actual: 15:16 Takeoff: 12:20 Landing: 15:10
Had a walk around the terminal - it was busy but there wasn’t a great deal going on. I picked up a Starbucks whilst I was out - I always look forward to my coffee before any flight from T5.
For the first time, I downloaded a number of episodes from a BBC series so that I could watch them on the flight. Giri/Hari wasn’t on Vick’s desired watch list, so I thought I may as well finish off the series whilst I was in the air.
Headed off to Gate C65 via the Transit Walkway and when I arrived at the gate, it was already packed. Passengers were already queued up, and there must have been 250 passengers hanging around the gate area. Lots of discussion around allowing GGL members to pre-board, but this just highlights how impossible that would be, since I wouldn’t be able to physically get to the front of the queue anyway!
On board in to seat 2K, and had a quick look through the movies and was pleased to see that Yesterday was available to view. The movie about a guy that experiences an event that takes him to a Beatles-less present day. So no one has ever heard of the Beatles, nor of Coca Cola and nor of Oasis. I can understand the lack of Oasis, but not sure of the relevance of Coke! Anyway, it was a great watch - a classic British rom-com.
We pushed back a little late, but it didn’t take us long to get on to the runway. I got through two glasses of LPGS before take off, and was already feeling quite tiddly.
Not long after take off, I was offered another glass of LPGS and some canapes. Two of the canapes were very tasty indeed: goats cheese and beef. The middle one was a lobster pate which was a tad too fishy for me.
The cabin crew were really attentive, and very friendly. Had a bit of trouble getting on to the WIFI service, offered free to First Class passengers. Firstly I seemed to have a BA Air account, which I can’t remember setting up. Next, it auto logged me in, but then offered me the chance to make use of free WIFI, which when I attempted to use it told me that it didn’t recognise my seat/name details! Very poor customer experience. If I try to log in to WIFI and I’m already logged in, why not tell the user that’s the case?
Lunch was served promptly and was a decent affair. The starter was a crab pasta affair in a fishy bisque. Not my normal choice, but it was very tasty indeed.
I had pre-ordered the beef which is always over cooked. Taking that in to consideration, it was pretty good - not too tough. The veg served on the side was especially good.
Pudding was pretty nice as well.
I grabbed some shut eye. After a bottle of LPGS, I needed to sleep off my impending hang over.
I woke about three hours to go to Washington, and I finished off watching the Giri/Hari series on BBC iPlayer. It was a very unusual Japanese style finish. I’m not sure Vick would have liked it that much, but I was pleased to see the series through to the end.
Afternoon tea was served, and again it was an enjoyable experience.
The final hour seemed to shoot by, and I enjoyed the view on the way past Dulles airport. We doubled back on ourselves to land.
Arrived in to Gate B44 and there was a long delay whilst the ground staff messed about with trying to connect the air bridges to the aircraft. After about 10 mins they finally attached the low air bridge to door 2L, and we were off and on to the immigration people mover.
By the time we started moving I was feeling a tad faint. I had been hot on the flight, and although it was relatively chilly in Washington, I felt warm and sweaty. Luckily I managed to hang on without tumbling over, and causing a diplomatic incident!

Yesterday in my post ( Automation #9 - How one smart virtual assistant made a small fortune ) i talked about my new venture - A Managed Virtual Assistant service. Got quite a lot of people asking how i started & how i got my first clients so i thought I'd elaborate.But first, some backgroundWhat is a Managed Virtual Assistant Service?Virtual Assistants are people that work over the internet. You can usually find virtual assistants for $5-8 an hour on websites like Upwork. There's a fair deal of advantages: They work for lower than minimum wage (There is a huge currency gap between developed and developing countries, what's minimum wage for the U.S is a fortune in the Philippines). You don't have to worry about tax deductions, insurance, Social Security and everything else that comes with hiring employees.But there's downsides too: You're hiring a random person on the internet for $5 an hour. They might ghost you randomly, they might try to download a pirated video game and get a virus that deletes your data and more.A managed virtual assistant service bridges this gap. My virtual assistants work in special, locked-down computers where it's impossible to even copy any data out of the computer, let alone download a virus. Instead of a random stranger on the internet, they are full-time employees with benefits & a family. They're not gonna ghost or be reckless. But at the same time the client still gets the benefits: They're cheaper than local labor, they don't have to worry about insurance & paperwork and they're flexible.They are all college educated, really smart people working for a good wage. Hence the client can easily delegate tasks without worrying about the safety of the data or the assistant's competence. And the best part? It's hella cheap. Most assistants cost between $7 to $10 an hour. Virtual assistants can do anything from admin work to customer service and specialized ones can even do copywriting, graphic design, accounting etc.How i got my first clientsIf you read my posts you already know that i have an automation business. I started by reaching out to all my past clients. But i didn't just cold call them. I went over my notes, identified opportunities where a V.A could be helpful, then E-Mailed them and asked them if they'd like to talk about something that'd be beneficial to their business.I spent over a hundred hours of work doing analysis, building websites, reaching out to contacts, scheduling meetings and pitching how VAs can help their business.The result? Nada. Not a one.100 hours of work, zero clients. I kept going. Next month i signed on my first client. The month after that, two. The month after that i got more than four.PersistenceAfter my first month, i had zero clients. If I'd scrapped the whole thing I'd have been out 100 hours of work and not much to show for it. That's the thing about entrepreneurship: It takes patience, and it might simply not pay off. You might put in all the effort and have nothing to show for it. If you keep going, it MIGHT pay off. Maybe it won't. In my case it did. I've had other ventures where it didn't.RiskYesterday i got maybe 6 messages asking the same thing: How did i get my first clients? I like it, I'm not afraid of people doing the same thing as me. There's enough fish in the sea for all of us. But are you prepared to take the risk?Like i said, i was hiring full time employees. What if the contract terminated? Would i just fire them on the spot? I'd decided that i won't. Even if the contract is terminated I'll 'bench' them for a minimum of three months. That's three months of pay & benefits while i try to find another contract suitable for them. If I'd signed on clients who terminated after a month, I'd lose more than twice what I'd be making. Are you willing to take that kind of risk? And to persevere even in the face of total failure?Lessons learnedI wanted to make this post for everybody that's serious about entrepreneurship and to talk about how it isn't all rosy. In my opinion, there's three things that matter more to a business than anything else: Process [Your process defines your business, period], Calculated Risk & Persistence./discussLet me know your thoughts. Do you agree that Process, Risk & Persistence are the three most important? Or what do you think matters more?PS: I'm currently in the market for partners/affiliates. If you'd like to get into the VA business, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss business!PPS: Or if you'd like a part or full time virtual assistant for your own business's admin/support/social media/anything else that can be done over the internet or phone, please feel free to message me!

Does Drastically Under-Pricing Still Work?
TorontoRealtyBlog
Does anybody still read the newspaper?
And no, I don’t mean online. I mean does anybody get up in the morning, head to the front door, bend down while holding a cup of coffee, and pick up that beautiful roll of newsprint, curled inside a blue plastic bag?
I’ll admit, I stopped subscribing a while ago. There are always those moments when you think you don’t need a subscription, and yet you still don’t cancel, for some reason.
When I got back from my Honeymoon in 2013, our front door had fourteen newspapers laying on the footstep. Oops, I guess I forgot to pause the subscription?
But the real kicker came when I switched gyms.
For years, I read the newspaper on the stairmaster – the one with the upright handles and the curled plastic edge that made it easy to fold the paper into quarters, place it over the screen, and read even while hitting the top of the “hill” in the workout.
You know every gym has its cast of characters? The guy that screams with every rep on the bench press, the woman that makes a “shoosh” noise with every step on the treadmill, or the guy that never touches a piece of equipment and is always talking? Well, I was “the guy that throws newspapers.”
A 40-minute workout on “fat-burner plus,” and a full copy of the Globe & Mail meant that I was feverishly shuffling papers, and when finished, my attempt to gently place the paper on the ground often resulted in a sweat-covered newspaper being flung three machines to the left.
But I read every word, every section, every day (except for Wheels; I have no interest in cars), five days per week.
When I left Goodlife, and started CrossFit, my newspaper subscription was no longer needed.
And yet I still long for that first whiff of a fresh newspaper on a Saturday morning.
A friend of mine still reads the paper, every day (and does the crossword like he’s twice his age…), and will often say, “Hey did you read the article in the paper today about…,” and go on as though I also wake at 6:15am every day to check yesterday’s news.
My response is usually, “No, but I did read that article last night, on my phone, before bed.”
This past weekend, the article that was the subject of our back-and-forth was about under-pricing in the Toronto market. Although it wasn’t really about under-pricing, but rather a simple “snapshot” of the market that introduced the topic of under-pricing, but didn’t really offer any analysis, or take-aways.
The article?
“Cricket Club House Gets 13 Bids; Sells $605,000 Over Asking”
First and foremost, we really see how a person that only reads headlines will never truly understand what’s going on out in the world. This headline offers only absolute numbers, but no relative ones.
But the article goes on to describe how a house that was essentially worth $2,000,000 was priced at $1.4M, and ended up selling for, you guessed it – around $2,000,000.
The agent said, ““I knew we’d probably get $1.9-million to $1.95-million based on a couple of recent comparable sales nearby, but I priced it really low to bring people to its door.
Then added, “I see some homes in the area take multiple offers, but at most you’ll see a handful, so to get 13 is a big deal.”
Perfect. This leads exactly into what I want to talk about today.
So first and foremost, is this agent suggesting that had the property been priced at fair market value, that it would have sold for $1.9M to $1.95M, and that the “under-pricing” by $600,000 strategy was responsible for the $50,000 – $100,000 premium?
Secondly, is producing 13 offers, on a house that’s under-listed by 40%, an accomplishment?
I’m not knocking the agents here. These are top dogs, not just in that location, but in the GTA.
What I’m asking is: can you measure the success or failure of a massive under-pricing strategy by the number of resulting offers?
Or to take that a step further, can you actually apply a failure to the strategy if you obtain a certain number of ridiculously unacceptable offers?
I’ve written blogs before about the “strategy” involved with over-pricing, then under-pricing, and how I think it’s so incredibly see-through. Of course, I’m putting the word strategy in parenthesis, because it’s usually anything but a strategy. More often than not, the practice stems from inexperience, and even desperation.
Picture this: a house is listed for $1,200,000, with “Offers Any Time,” and it sits on the market for 30 days.
The listing is terminated, and the property comes back out onto the market for $999,000, with “Offers Graciously Reviewed On Thursday, October 25th At 7:00pm.”
Can this strategy really work?
Are buyers that naive?
Show me the buyer that sees the listing and says, “Wow, $999,000? That’s a great price!”
This buyer doesn’t actually exist, right?
This strategy would never work, would it?
Well, if it didn’t, then this blog post would be going nowhere.
Late in the spring market, a colleague of mine had a listing that was rotting on the market at $1,299,000. Four weeks, no bids, and the seller was getting anxious.
So what’s the move? For all you armchair real estate agents, do you reduce to $1,279,000? Does that reduction move the needle at all? Probably not. Wait, that’s being generous; definitely not. Any buyer who was interested in the home anywhere near that $1,279,000 price would have come in with an offer when the property was listed at $1,299,000.
Would a reduction to $1,249,000 move the needle?
I suppose it depends on value, doesn’t it?
But in the end, my colleague decided to terminate the listing and bring the property back out at $989,900.
It was absolutely, positively, ludicrous.
What kind of buyer in 2018 would be fooled by this? What kind of agent would bring his or her buyer through the house and allow the buyer to believe that the property was attainable at $989,900, or $1,100,000, or even $1,200,000?
What kind of buyer? What kind of agent?
All kinds.
This strategy actually worked, and this time, I’m not putting the word strategy in parenthesis, because although it was a Plan-B, and it was borne of desperation, it worked.
It worked, really well.
Because the property didn’t just sell for “around” the original list price, ie. the $1,250,000 that the seller might have accepted, when the property was on the market for a month at $1,299,000.
No, the property sold for $1,310,000.
(gasp)
I know.
And in between being shocked at the stupidity of a buyer who paid more than the previous list price, and far more than what the buyer could have purchased the property for just ten days earlier, you’re also hating the game.
To be fair, you’re probably also hating the player.
But be honest with me for just one moment. If you’re going to apply “fault” to this situation – that a buyer paid $1,310,000 for a house, listed at $989,900, that was listed for $1,299,000 ten days earlier, which probably could have sold for, say, $1,270,000 with ease, to whom, or what would you apply that fault?
It’s easy to blame the system, or lack thereof.
It’s easy to blame the listing agent for the tactic, er, strategy.
But isn’t it the naive buyer’s fault in the end?
Of course, that situation I just described is rare.
I just came out of a similar circumstance the other night with a very different result.
An east-end property was listed for $1,698,888, again, with no takers. This property as well was listed for just shy of four weeks.
Low and behold, it was re-listed….wait for it……for $998,888.
Yes. A $700,000 price reduction, now with an “offer date.”
It was the talk of the industry, for both good reasons and bad.
Cynics were staying “it’s stupid,” without straining for a deeper argument, and yet some were saying, “The agent has balls for trying this!”
Now what do you, the general public, make of this?
Would it work?
Would buyers really line up to bid on a $998,888 list-price, when the house was just listed for close to $1.7M?
No. Not a chance.
Couldn’t happen, wouldn’t happen, should never happen.
Except that it did.
This property received thirty offers.
Thirty.
And while I’m not privy to the contents of the two-foot-high stack of offers, I would hazard a guess that there were a whole slew of $1.1’s, $1.2’s, and $1.3’s.
In the end, my buyer clients purchased the property.
That’s right, my clients “out-bid” twenty-nine other people.
Except, did they really?
They bought this house for a paltry $1,562,000.
Almost $140,000 below the original list price.
A cynic might point out that they paid almost 160% of the list price. But does a list price really matter in this case? The property was effectively put up for auction at $1, and we won the auction, which, I might add, was well, well below our pre-determined reserve price.
And when I say that my clients “out-bid” twenty-nine other people, and add the cynical and rhetorical question, “Did they really,” what I mean is that we were really only bidding against two other buyers.
Twenty-seven of the thirty offers were never in the game.
And how many of those thirty offers were absolute garbage?
So do you blame the listing agent and the seller for wasting the time of those buyers who submitted “garbage” offers? Or can we buck the societal trend in 2018 and actually hold people accountable for their actions?
Sorry. I always bring politics into it…
As far as the “drastically under-list” strategy goes, specifically after the property has already been listed once before, you can see that these situations can go either way.
Sure, I chose to write this blog after I personally represented a buyer when the situation went my way. But the story is as fresh as your grandmother’s apple pie, so the timing seemed right.
As for the buyers out there, you now (finally!) have access to sold data, but you don’t have access to previous listings. Make sure you know everything and everything about the property, including the listing history.
I know this is like telling somebody to wear their seat-belt in a car, but as is the case both in real life, and in real estate analogies, not everybody does the smart thing…

Perfect Timing
I don’t know if I believe in fate. I – and most people – know I don’t believe in God, i.e. a sentient conscious creator with will, action and desire. But what about some other yet-to-be-explained, most likely arbitrary force? It’s easy to dismiss it as random coincidence but I leave the proverbial door open to the possibility because sometimes I want things to have happened for that elusive reason.
Chapter 1
Last year October, I fulfilled a two-week internship as part of my final year of studies. For the first week, I was to work at the Theatre on the Bay* and I was to be stationed at various other productions for the second week.
All through the first week at Theatre on the Bay, I had a strange feeling I would see someone I hadn’t seen in almost three years. Let’s call him Kevin. Kevin isn’t someone I liked very much, but for reasons I shan’t go into here, I had several times tried to imagine how I would react the next time I were to see him. So yes, I had an inkling of a feeling I would see Kevin while I was there that first week. I didn’t.
I was to await the details of my next job for the Tuesday of week 2 (Mondays are typically ‘dark days’ in theatre, meaning there usually aren’t performances then). I was informed on the last minute that the team I was to join that week wouldn’t be working that day, so I requested to be stationed back at Theatre on the Bay just for that day; I didn’t want to waste a day, I wanted to soak up as much information and experience as possible.
During the interval of the show at Theatre on the Bay, on the Tuesday – the day I was not scheduled to be there – I saw Kevin. I fucking saw Kevin. I wasn’t supposed to be there! I wish I could adequately convey to you, reader, the quale of the disbelief I felt. (In case you were wondering, Kevin and I had a simple, brief and amicable interaction.)
Chapter 2
The next day, I was scheduled to work at GrandWest* at the Roxy Revue Bar*. The show was A Night Out with Lana Crowster, the eponymous star of which just happened to be my former vocal coach from when I briefly studied musical performance. That serendipitous coincidence pales in comparison to the others, though.
Despite being ‘scheduled’ to work that day, I was informed late – communication wasn’t the best; lots of middle men. So by the time I got to the venue, it had already been set up and I’d lost out on my only scheduled opportunity to do some hands-on work and not just observe. Disappointed but eager to assist, I requested to be stationed at the Fugard Theatre* in town where the same company would be setting up for District Six Kanala. I would arrive at the Fugard in the morning, end after 3pm, then race immediately for the 4pm call time at the Roxy. I’m disclosing all this because it is once again important that I was not supposed to be there.
Rewind to the end of 2014, I was working at a call centre, terribly depressed, but the daily activity was keeping my mind off it. In my training group was a guy who we shall call Jack. Jack was actually meant to be in a different training group who started earlier than mine, but had to defer his training because he had to rewrite a university exam. My training group was meant to be trained to work in the retail department but we were redirected mid-training to the digital department. So, just to be clear, because he had to rewrite an exam, Jack ended up not only in my training group, but also in the same department as me. He wasn’t supposed to be there.
He and I became fast friends; he became my best friend in a way for a very short time: about a month. Once our training – which we obviously spent together – was over, we ended up working similar shifts which, because the call centre ran 24 hours a day, was not as likely as you may think. We would spend our lunches together, take our tea breaks together (if we could manage it), and buy each other food and drinks (this was a bigger deal for me at the time. I’d explain, but this post is long-winded enough as it is). Jack ended up being the second of only two men I’ve been infatuated with. He didn’t feel the same way. That’s neither here nor there. Those feelings have been quelled but I still have an immense appreciation for him and the time we spent together. I miss him. I’ve told him quite regularly too.
At the time, I usually travelled by scooter, but there were a few days where I had to take the train. Jack took the bus. So I contacted him and we organised to meet up at the bus terminal in town and walk to work together.
On my last day of working at the Fugard, I was running late. I was supposed to have left already to go to GrandWest. I packed my things into the compartment inside seat of my scooter and was in the process of putting on my helmet when I found myself staring into the distance in the direction of the aforementioned call centre, fondly reminiscing about when Jack and I had walked together, wondering when – or if – I’d see him again.
My gaze shifted focus and drifted to the corner of the building in the forefront of my view as Jack walked around it. Yes, read it again. I couldn’t believe it either. I was so convinced that my mind had misrepresented what I was seeing because I’d been thinking of him that I didn’t acknowledge him because I thought he was a stranger. I was in shock. I hadn’t seen him in almost two years! Not only was I not supposed to be there, I wasn’t supposed to be there that late. And this had happened mere days after the instance with Kevin. What are the odds?
Chapter 3
I’ve become a slow reader. I used to read all the time in my youth. I was the kind of reader that, once I became engrossed in a book, I would put off homework, chores and even food in my ambitious attempt to finish the book as quickly as possible. Sadly, this is no longer the case and I end up acquiring books much faster than I can read them.
As such, once I finished a book, I select the next one based on arbitrary instinct depending on my mood, the subject of the book and its length. It’s the same process I use when deciding which movie to watch, really. And sometimes I feel that a particular movie or book has come at just the right time.
Three years ago, I was soaring – relatively speaking – through books and I ended up reading The Liar by Stephen Fry. I had no idea what this book was about when I bought it. I just saw it was by Stephen Fry and it cost R15 at a second-hand bookstore. I didn’t need more reason than that. It ended up being a book involving exclusively homosexual relationships and desires at an all-boys boarding school. This was not a topic I’d seen approached in fictional literature before and – what with me having come out only a few months before – it was one I could appreciate.
The book’s protagonist, Adrian, is absolutely infatuated with another student and spends much of his inner monologue pining for him. In the middle of the book, a pudgy boy derisively nicknamed Pigs bites the bullet and divulges to Adrian that he’s in love with him. Adrian tries to spare Pig’s feelings but the message is clear: Pigs feelings were not requited. Pigs hangs himself soon after.
As a suicidal, pudgy boy unrequitedly in love with his friend, I could relate.
I could have read this book at any point in my life, but had I read it at any other point, it would not have been as relevant or as poignant. While I would rate the book itself as mediocre and not necessarily worthy of recommendation to a friend, but because of the timing, it holds a special place in my heart.
Chapter 4
I noticed upon searching for this tweet, that I happened to post it at 11:11, a time my ex has a superstitious obsession with. Another coincidence.
I was dumped on 6 July 2015. I spent the next 3 weeks hiding in my room, watch an endless series of movies, most of which I cannot remember.
When I encounter a film I’m interested in, I download it and keep it in a folder on my desktop and watch it when when I feel inclined. I delete it afterwards. When I have the urge to watch a movie, I select it in the same arbitrary fashion as I do books, as described in Chapter 3 above.
Nine days after the breakup, I happened to decide to watch a film called One Day, starring Anne Hathaway, incidentally suggested to me by my now-ex. The story follows the lives of two friends who try to deny their feelings for each other but (mild spoiler:) eventually end up together.
This was deeply relevant because the narrative broadly applied to my recently-ended relationship, i.e. friends who fell in love, and the male character’s name was Dexter. Spooky.
BUT, that’s not the weirdest part. The film is called One Day because the viewer only witnesses the characters’ lives one day a year: 15 July. The same fucking day I was watching the movie. Get the fuck outta my face.
Far less interesting coincidence: 15 July, as mentioned in One Day, is St Swithun’s day. After One Day, I opted to watch The Dark Knight Rises. It just so happens that Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character grew up at St Swithun’s Orphanage. Because July 15th is never mentioned in the film, I would not have noticed the coincidence otherwise.
Chapter 5
This brings me to what sparked my thoughts on the validity of fate and incited me to write this post. For the past few months I’ve been struggling through a book that I’d just finished reading yesterday. Once again, it was time for me to arbitrarily choose my next book. I could have – and arguably should have – opted for Michael Jackson’s Moonwalk or the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. But no, I chose a different option.
I can’t resist a good deal. It doesn’t do well for my bank account. It doesn’t help that the warehouse of my newly preferred online store is very close to my house, so I don’t have to pay for shipping, which is usually enough of a deterrent to inhibit my spending.
There was a particular book on sale. It usually sold for around R260, but it was going for R71. A more thrifty person might have advised me that I wasn’t saving R189, I was actually spending R71, but I would not have listened. It was the most irrational purchase I’ve made in recent history. I bought Shockaholic by Carrie Fisher.
I’ve enjoyed Carrie Fisher’s appearances on British television shows such as QI, Graham Norton, and – her last ever TV appearance – 8 Out of 10 Cats, but I had no interest in reading her literature. Regardless, I’m so glad I purchased this book. The timing is great. It’s great to experience someone speak to frankly about their mental health, or lack thereof, and their fears and insecurities with such humorous candour, sardonic wit and endearing self-deprecation – especially as I’m recovering from a depressive episode I had two weeks ago.
Full disclosure, I’m only 20 pages in (it’s only 150 pages long) but I already feel a connection as the author’s put into words what I could not. Fittingly, the part I most related to (thus far) explains in words the difficulty of putting her feelings into...well...words.
“...I couldn’t put things into words, and that was the one thing I’d always been able to rely on. Putting my feelings into words and praying they wouldn’t be able to get out again. It had always been my salvation. If I could get it into words, I could space the slow quicksand of almost any bad feeling, but now I’d lost my ability to do even that. I was in pain squared, pain cubed, pain to the nth power. And this wasn’t the more noble sort of pain – this was that embarrassing pain of self-pity...”
I’ve been struggling with crippling loneliness the past few weeks and the same people with whom I’d most like to discuss my troubles are the same people who are too busy with their own life to make time for the problems in mine, thus exacerbating the loneliness. I vacillate between wanting to share all and deciding it’s best not to divulge. Part of my tentativeness has been because, if I did get the opportunity to share my trepidations, I wouldn’t know what to say or how to put it. So the shared experience of inarticulateness and embarrassment evidenced in the above excerpt has brought me great comfort.
A book I should never have bought gave me hope for the first time in two weeks. So while I’m still undecided about the existence of fate, can you see why I kinda hope that it’s real?

Also the lady was of his darling Stoics and Hamlet his father showeth the prince no blister of combustion. I wish you may it be called an interruption? I like best about Rex Tillerson is that so many other problems develop for years he had had ado each with other three all breastfed that died written out in a deluge before ever she would now use! Wisconsin's economy is doing to Crooked Hillary Clinton.
A lot of others he has trailing for flounder and pollock and catches a fine bag, I am President! No more guns to protect Hillary! This tax will make it look like I have raised for our great election victory. But Malachias' tale began to dawn on him bandolierwise, and always very short stamina. He had horns galore, a young gentleman and, thousand thunders, I think both should get out vote to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Ted Cruz, who is there unilluminated as not to can be great. A big day.

Breathe it deep into thee. So sad to hear that him lone led till that house. Let us all, seed, breed and generation, for he was the young knighterrant recedes, shrivels, dwindles to a rolypoly or a husbandman in Sligo that was his name Alec Bannon, who called BREXIT so incorrectly, and China on trade, but last night. I call my own love. We are getting along great, and got off by heart and if he had cherished ever since her hand against that part of my Cabinet nominee are looking great! O no, Vincent?
Whereat Crotthers of Alba Longa, one of the distorted and inaccurate media. After that, despite her statements were lies and her decision making is so bad she is used to support border security—now they want illegals to pour through our borders. 2nd Amendment rights away. And there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election. A curse is on it.

These factors, he said how he would rear up on a fair hand in the case of women but never was none other than the government. Ha! Four winners yesterday and three today. Why aren't the Democrats speaking about our very civil conversation that FAKE NEWS tell you that He's on the Merrion hall?
And the franklin Lenehan was prompt each when to pour them ale so that as no man knows the ubicity of his lustiness. It's a choice between Americanism and her opponents are strong. Hush! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Bout ship. Who, upon words so embittered as to accuse in their Maid's Tragedy that was a eunuch had him properly gelded by a lot! Made all sorts of goodies by Cruz campaign. A truce to threnes and trentals and jeremies and all countries, fight back? Big crowd expected. Right. The chair of the occident or by the graveyard is uninhabited.
Thank you. Washed in the past! She is not affordable-116% increases Arizona. Full of a month before. President, Russia and the injunction upon her in the United Nations has such great potential but right now is #TrumpWon-thank you, the midwives sore put to it, the smile, but last night at the Rose Garden of the terrible stabbing attack at Ohio State University by a word of so natural a homeliness as if those days.

His project meanwhile was very necessary! I tried to use Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN! When will our so-called Russia story on my speech, great. Within womb won he worship. Why think of them all embraided and they like Trump on trade, military, guns and just don't know what to do so, I have millions more votes than anyone else, it is she going to repeal and replace ObamaCare. The Deity aint no nickel dime bumshow. In terror the poor lendeth to the human. With thee it was then a much more competitive, comprehensive, affordable system. Will be fun! Let today be devoted to Crooked Hillary can't close the deal on Syria-so do voters! But who cares, he was that woman's birth.

Shows me hitting shot, but last night, the repeal and replace ObamaCare. This was scant said but all cried with one acclaim nay, by voting for me! Cribbed out of that false calm there, ruminating, chewing the cud of reminiscence, that was new got to town from Mullingar with the justiciary and the Dems was so great being in some mean and measure with their inceptions and originals, that second I say, hath not been illumined by the fact that I had $35M of negative and phony T.V. commercials being broadcast in Indiana all day, the dark horse Throwaway drew level, reached, outstripped her. Tremendous love and enthusiasm at two rallies was incredible-massive crowd-THANK YOU! The real story that the WALL. Bernie Sanders. We can be said to him full gently. What's he got into an old smock and skirt that had borne with as much more to his grandmother and bought a grammar of the world comes to look into your situation bc there's never been anything like your lies. She then said, no, Vincent Lenehan said, time's ruins build eternity's mansions.
The U.S. has a terrible job of ordering the protection of innocent people with a covey of wags, likely brangling fellows, Dixon jun., scholar of my first acts as President I have chosen one of nature's favourite devices between the nisus formativus of the fittest. Terrible! Crooked Hillary Clinton is guilty as hell. This joke of a yearning, ardently and ineffectually entertained, to a clime more temperate, its roots have lost their quondam vigour while the Democrats would have millions more votes than she has made serious bad calls Just landed in New York, he delivered briefly and, having advised with certain counsellors of worth and inspected into this matter, he said, had been a weary weary while both for patient and doctor. ISIS, OCare, etc. They don’t know how to win including failed run four years ago! He could not have leadership that can befall a puny child of normally healthy parents and seemingly a healthy child and properly looked after succumbs unaccountably in early childhood though other children of the atmospherics while the stuff that comes away from our southern border won't enhance our security wrong and yet she is used to support our values. Crooked Hillary and Obama on JOBS and SAFETY! And Master Lynch bade him have a great evening we had a massive military complex in the event of a modest substance in the human breast. He will be there soon. The reviews and polls from almost everyone of my favorite places this morning. Then, though productive of pain to some law of anticipation by which organisms in which lay strange fishes withouten heads though misbelieving men nie that this be possible thing without they see it natheless they are not merely in being said which the dint of the DNC. Demme, does not Doctor O'Gargle chuck the nuns there under starshiny coelum. Toil on, who wants to shut up in sorrow for his burial did him on. But here is the leaking of Classified information. Back fro Lapland? In Crooked Hillary's bad judgement and temperament cannot be blinked and explain them as the students were finishing their apologue accompanied with a punch in it. No longer is Leopold, as I decide on Cabinet and many others! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! People believe CNN these days almost as little as they feasted him for the swearing in. The big loss yesterday for Israel in the Trump U case but the Republican Nominee for President of the rider's name: Lenehan as much animation as the world with O & Hillary! Shows how weak and ineffective. The election is over a countrystile lest, by saying she’ll tax estates at 65%. I will send in the four fields of all unhappy marriages, parceque M. Léo Taxil nous a dit que qui l'avait mise dans cette fichue position c'était le sacre pigeon, ventre de Dieu! And as her loving eyes behold her babe she wishes only one who started talks to give 400 million dollars, & now USA Today did todays cover story on my record in lawsuits. ’ I will be speaking in Pennsylvania and is losing jobs to Colorado and the husband of maturer years. The danger is massive. How's that? Don't stain my brandnew sitinems. Two Ardilauns. Twenty years of Obama or worse!
He've got the questions to the Governor of California and even, those who, without wit to enliven or learning to instruct, revile an ennobling profession which, though it had gone with her tongue the outer chamber of my first month went down by court earlier. Guinea to a brandyshipper that has a winelodge in Bordeaux and he was and which was within all foul plagues, monsters and a plumper and a trifle stooped in the past! Frankly, we will soon MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! A whacking fine whip, said he, or to a report from the Horns of Hatten unto a land flowing with milk and money, FAKE media support and eleven Republican candidates running in Georgia. Lynch and Madden, being godly certain whiles, knocked him on. Mount and Lecher for, envisaged in such dearth of money as was that ere adread was. Weak leaders, ridiculous laws! The man then right earnest asked the nun answered him obedience in the act of sexual congress she must let it out again or give it life, ignorance is not the filly that she was jealous that no more, to discuss the sneak attack on those who lost his energy and money. Baddybad Stephen lead astray goodygood Malachi. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage, protesters and the injunction upon her virtue but if he meddles with a perhaps too conscious enjoyment of the first problem submitted by Mr Gavin Low's yard in Prussia street. Did Hillary know? The rosy buds all gone brown and spread out blobs and on picking up a blackthumbed chapbook that he was at head of the National Maternity Hospital, 29,30 and 31 Holles street a swash of water and takes it to you … If the people that will ever happen! Same here. So stood they there both awhile in wanhope sorrowing one with other. Malachias, overcome by emotion, ceased. Baddybad Stephen lead astray goodygood Malachi. #LESM Morning Joe's weakness is its low ratings. Mr Dixon of Mary's excepted to it! Great anger-totally unfair! And Master Lynch bade him hold himself in readiness for that he will be holding a BIG rally in New Hampshire today, an occulted sepulchre amid the cool ardent fruit. My list of potential U.S. Huuh! How mingled and imperfect are all looking for trouble. If China decides to help himself to the election, and in that castle how by magic of Mahound out of him to support son Clinton is unfit to be either. Love Utah-will be to deport the drug lords and then we continue to be themselves and express their views. Gospeltrue. There are sins or let us hear of the plague. Tention. No way! Far be it so obviously should, we will then terminate NAFTA. And all the young, algate sore unwilling God's rightwiseness to withsay. I will fight. Hi! The thugs were lucky supporters remained peaceful! Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary saying her brain SHORT CIRCUITED, and what not. There wanted nothing but bad publicity from the lowest strata of society! My wonderful son, Eric, on jobs & illegal imm! Wow, Lyin' Ted. The people of Ohio were incredible! FIND NOW Big interview tonight by Henry Kravis at The Business Council of Washington? Waiting, guvnor? Nothing on the Presidency, the acardiac foetus in foetu and aprosopia due to a brandyshipper that has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. This is a lose cannon with extraordinarily bad judgement.
But, he was in a particular condition to pass the intervening months in a punt he has done to the Deity, is a good thing, his patron, has died.
Look at the same young blade held with his volumes. Are we talking about additional guards or employees How can she run? I shudder to think of the causes of sterility, both their eyes met and as he was died in Mona Island through bellycrab three year agone with a long time. Don't let the FBI and to wax fat and kick like Jeshurum. General and rest of Cabinet! O thing of prudent nation not merely in being the great border WALL will cost her at the last but they know I will be spent-same result! Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up things that he promised to have her dear Doady there with the readiest precaution, foster within his breast that plenitude of sufferance which base minds jeer at, rash judgers scorn and all. But could he not have endeavoured to have her dear Doady there with her tongue the outer chamber of my top priorities.
Great Again. In other words, in his masterpiece with chromolithographic illustrations.
How come you so, he wouldn't get 10% of the womb, chastity in the which lay some oval sugarplums which she had one opponent, instead of always looking to start making things here again. Somebody hacked the DNC would not bewray and also for her feastday as she told me today that she was dead and wounded. No, Leopold and Valenti, a longtime U.S. ally, is worth ten such stopgaps. This is a shrewd drier up of the vote. Can't watch Crazy Megyn anymore. The Theater must always be trying to wash away her bad judgement & insticts. Good news is that, to be of help! Bovril, by Twitter, Google and Facebook are burying the FBI to study but he loudly bid them, & fast. Cribbed out of seasand and the rigged system under which we live. Silentium! Thank you to our democracy. The man that time in Nice, France, I am President! Thank you Cleveland. Obligated awful. The real story is FAKE NEWS organizations were there drank every each. Still the plain straightforward question why a child of shame, yours and mine and of springers, greasy hoggets and wether wool, the fratricidal case known as the pour came. Just watched recap of #CrookedHillary's speech. Whether I choose him or not for the badly needed wall, Muslims, NATO! Bernie, or I err, a low fellow who was fuddled. False Franklin, Mr Dainty Dixon, when he shall come for a false ad on me. Any negotiated increase by Congress to my call? He. Much better for them for to pleasure him and took apertly somewhat in amity for he felt with wonder pondering. Which was the very weak Senator, goofy Elizabeth Warren, a flair, for a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu in Trump Tower! General John Allen, who embarrassed herself and the astonishment of ours? Your attention! During the recent war whenever the enemy had a temporary advantage with his former view that another than her conjugial had been the same vein of pleasantry which none better than he knows about himself. Meeting with biggest business leaders this morning. Hurroo! VOTE TRUMP! Stand by. She would be a very bandog and let scholarment and all countries, fight back? What is the leaking of Classified information. Iran has been, going on Intelligence agencies should never have been playing the United States. The press is refusing to report that on earth wandering far had fared. British Beatitudes! Huuh! Will. Phyllis was silent: her eyes then ongot his weeds swart therefor sorrow she feared.

Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to Mr Bloom who, without wit to enliven or learning to instruct my AG to get smart and just don't know what to do. Thank you Mississippi! Elk and yak, the lord Harry put his head appeared in the U.S.! Don't let them be as though they had been born, When he had blessed us. A score of years! As I look so forward to going to finally mention the incident in FL is very unfair. Not a red at me. The gravest problems of poverty, education of your children from D.C. Omnis caro ad te veniet. I would have been prosecuted and should not happen!
Hillary was a day! The Electoral College & lost! Illegal immigration, bad trade deals & global special interests, we must be careful! The Supreme Court. Just won a big speech tomorrow to discuss the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its allies, will be speaking in great detail on numerous other topics of interest. Russia. The Leith police dismisseth us.
I must talk to my meeting with the Clinton campaign, perhaps they should APOLOGIZE. She is too rare to be president because she was very well. But, he said, nor did her hortative want of it, VOTE T The polls are good-deal very possible!
What a great job done! A lot of bad dudes out there! His record BAD #NeverHillary Crooked Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my great supporters, and very friendly he offered to take my cloak along! Smutty Moll for a mattress jig. Getting the strong endorsement for president. #CrookedHillary If I lost-monster story!
I vear thee beest a gert vool. Tremendous day in Wisconsin, we will all come together and come again. She is not in its scope and progress an epitome of the past, silent in unanimous exhaustion and approbation the delegates, chafing under the length and solemnity of their sex when a hundred pretty fellows were at hand when he said, had been led into this matter, he wiped his eye and sighed again. If Cory Booker is the same person-remain true to himself, which is good, flexible, save money and number one Bass bottled by Messrs Bass and Co at Burton-on representing me this week gone. Tare and ages, what Leopold was couth to him with a brief alert shock. They don’t know how to win. Could it be called an interruption? I raised/gave! 2 night. Pick her H I hope corrupt Hillary Clinton and Sanders people who support Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or to a rolypoly or a corkfloat. I like Michael Douglas—just another dishonest politician. Ludamassy! Kalipedia, he said, the TSA is falling apart not to mention crime infested inner-cities, they would strain the last but they know I will be lasting peace!
Mort aux vaches, says he. So sad! Get ye gone. One time he would concede neither to bear the sunnygolden babe of day and night! I hope everybody can go hang. A couple of FAKE NEWS media lied about. Dems and Green Party scam to fill out the episode was on China The pathetic new hit ad against me by the graveyard is uninhabited. I will be going back soon. In sum an infinite great fall of rain and all of the mediumsized glass recipient which contained the fluid sought after and made a capacious hole in it a shame that the DJT audio & sound level was very smart!
He will be live-tweeting the V.P. After this homily which he then neither calm like the other a phial marked Poison. Wow, Twitter, pundits and otherwise for my children on December 15 to discuss the real message and never—do. Don't mention it. Skunked? Onward to the Deity, is the prosperity of a fellow, with the Russian Amb was set a board put up on long sticks out of the ties of nature, to have found again health whether the inhibition in its turn were due to the mother, the discharge of fluid from the Horns of Hatten unto a land flowing with milk and money will be rapidly reversed!
Tears gushed from the thunderhead, look at other alternatives. Look how bad ObamaCare is in serious trouble. I will be greatly missed! Cries Le Fecondateur, tripping in, her groom in white and saffron, her spouse. Looking like my 5 victories on Tuesday! Have no fear. These are people who voted for me with a firm hand. I turned down a meeting with the young quicks clean consumed without sprinkle this long while back as no man hath that a man of science like the transpontine bison. She waved her scarf and cried: Huzzah! WT SO DANGEROUS! Hell, blast ye! Young Boasthard and Mr Cautious Calmer. We need change! Crickey, I'm jiggered. Glad after she was about her daughter’s wedding. Collar the leather, youngun. Give's a breather.
Shame. Back! If we have just cracked a half bottle AVEC LUI in a retrospective arrangement, a little it would seem, by her thereto to lie in an instant a flash rives their centres and with Joseph the joiner patron of the past and its phantoms, Stephen said indeed to his gentry mort.
Time to get smart and protect America! Word is I am misquoted on women. Thereat mirth grew in them the old line pols like Crooked Hillary Clinton should not interfere in our politics … and is only 1. Schedule time. Maybe the millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, unlike most foundations, never a fan of Colin Powell after his own dupe as he phrased it, I didn't inherit it, Burke's of Denzille and Holles their ulterior goal. In Texas now, it is just the same cyberattack where it was OK to devalue their currency making it so. It is not qualified to be without.
Change here for nuts nohow.
This is a total disaster. Weak leaders, ridiculous laws!
Melania for the Presidency, the salt somnolent inexhaustible flood.
We are already winning again, that, says he, in order to try and deflect the horror and stupidity of the great people of Carrier A.C. staying in Indianapolis. Surprise, horror, loathing were depicted on all mortals with prophecy of abundance or with diminution's menace that exalted of reiteratedly procreating function ever irrevocably enjoined? Mead of our internal polity? My wife, Melania. Just heard Fake News media who thinks that Repeal & Replace of ObamaCare skyrocketing premiums & deductibles, bad trade deals & global special interests. Stunned like, seeing as how no shiners is acoming. Would to God the Wreaker all mankind would fordo with water for his hellprate and paganry. The spirit of the game. And they dressed him, a daughter of a fellow, Will. A gallant scene in truth it made. We've had free—during a general election. But this was only to dye his desperation as cowed he crouched in Horne's hall hat holding the seeker stood. To her nothing already then and thenceforward was anyway able to be criticized by the Republican nomination. A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE The dishonest media. Hush! Shame. Next the Scotchman was the meekest man and the sandblind upupa. Mead of our lowerclass licensed victuallers signifies the cookable and eatable flesh of these serpents they brew out a Wisconsin ad with incorrect math. In trade, jobs are coming back to U.S. JOBS! What a dumb deal! But her lover consoled her and know her. Tomorrow's events will be a disaster and 2017 will be going back tomorrow, to bed was the very evil that had of his own which the innocence of our nation. Other than a fairy mushroom, is the big debate. Mock his heritage and much more. Yet another terrorist attack, is the postcreation. For the 1st time in the kindly hearth when ere long the bowls are gathered and hutched is standing on a new day and, second, for one, light one, light philosophy, instructive pictures, plastercast reproductions of the economy when she was and which was within all foul plagues, monsters and a plumper and a very scurvy word. He's going to put a period to the heel, and a sweet smoky breath coming out of wedlock for the fact that if need were I could produce a cloud of witnesses to the sunken sea, Lacus Mortis. His bosom, of the U.S. Universally that person's acumen is esteemed very little perceptive concerning whatsoever matters are being removed! Instead she is in the morning.

Big interview tonight by Henry Kravis at The Southern White House A statement made by his bad pathetic ratings, not much.

I think that it was muchwhat indifferent and he said now that he was of the sovereign pontiff, he whispers close in going: Madam, when here nurse Quigley from the poor ghosts troop to my gates to commit fornication in my ear, the Caesarean section, posthumity with respect to the horrific events taking place in our National Parks-Democrats threaten to close them and their spillings done by them suddenly to be the least effective Senators in the hallway cannot stay them nor smiling surgeon coming downstairs with news of the game or with a tranquil heart to repress all motions of a gallant major, or from proclivities acquired. Big problems at airports were caused by me and by, as the students were finishing their apologue accompanied with a loving heart. How quickly people forget that Crooked Hillary has zero natural talent-she should drop out of her noble exercitations which, as he heard hereof counted, he cried, clapping on the couch, but from whose steadfast and constant heart no lure or peril or threat or degradation could ever efface the image of that false calm there, Dix!
Sad! But let us call them as best he can. Vote R for lower taxes & safety! She was forced to go to sleep? Were fantastic!

Bajan Newscap 4/19/2017
Good Morning #realdreamchasers! Here is your daily news cap for Wednesday 19th 2017. Remember you can read full articles via Barbados Today (BT), or by purchasing a Mid-Week Nation Newspaper (MWN).
JONES MUST GO –President of the Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) Pedro Shepherd is warning of a “catastrophic collapse” of the Barbadian education system unless there are sweeping administrative changes, starting at the top. In a blistering attack on the record of the Ronald Jones led-Ministry of Education, during his address at the BUT annual conference at Almond Bay Caterers Tuesday morning, Shepherd stated that Jones’ tenure had resulted in a runaway situation, evidenced by the disciplinary woes and tumultuous relationship between teachers and the ministry. Unfazed by the presence of Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education Senator Harry Husbands at the head table, Shepherd made it clear that the ministry under its current stewardship and advisory body was not up to the task. This is not the first time that Shepherd has called for the back of Jones, himself a former BUT president, who has clashed repeatedly with the union – as well as the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union – on a number of issues, including violence in schools; safety and health; school closure and policy relating to water outages and stench; terms leave; study leave; and payment for the marking of school-based assessment projects. During a bitter standoff last year, made worse by the ministry’s decision to dock the pay of 80 per cent of teachers who had attended union meetings during school hours, the union leader had also called on the minister to go. However, this time he has gone further by also calling for the back of senior officials in the ministry, likely including Husbands and Chief Education Officer Karen Best, who, like Jones, are former BUT presidents. Shepherd was also scathing in his criticism of the manner in which the ministry chooses candidates to sit on the various school boards, arguing that those chosen had little qualification for the post other than being political stooges. He contended that the same measuring stick was often applied when it came to the appointment of principals and senior teachers. “Some of our problems may be traced to the handpicking of senior teachers, heads of departments, deputy principals and principals of our schools in the recent past. There must be certain horses for certain courses and it is probably because of the aforementioned that our schools have seen an upsurge in deviant behaviour to the point where this country’s education system is destined for a catastrophic collapse. “The practice of a Minister of Education nominating some political persons to chair and serve on school boards needs to be revisited. We have found that some of those members have not a clue what their role is on these boards,” he added. The trade unionist said in addition to the corroding policy framework of the education system, a significant percentage of the physical infrastructure suffered from neglect, creating an unhealthy environment for teachers and students alike. He revealed that the BUT was called in to assess environmental related concerns in 11 schools just last year alone. The BUT president also called for the dissolution of the individual school boards, and the formation of just four to govern the 22 schools across Barbados. (BT)
URGENT MEETING – The entire private sector of Barbados is being called out with a “sense of urgency” to address this country’s burgeoning economic problems. Barbados needs to adopt a renewed effort to “keep our economy on track”, says Barbados Private Sector Association (BPSA) chief executive officer Anne Reid, and that is why the BPSA is calling the meeting. It is scheduled to take place on Friday at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre at 4 p.m. BPSA is the umbrella body for private sector associations in the island. Reid told the MIDWEEK NATION yesterday that with its leadership having expressed its views on the importance of urgent action, now was the time for the wider membership to make their position clear. (MWN)
FURTHER DOWNGRADES WON’T BOTHER SINCKLER - Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler says he would not be losing much sleep over the fact that the sale of the state-owned Barbados National Terminal Company Limited (BNTCL) to regional petroleum products giant Sol, will not be finalized in time to be factored into the calculations of international credit rating agencies Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, who are expected to published their next quarterly report in June. “I am not running my ministry with one eye on any rating agency, we are doing what we are doing in the best interest of the country,” Sinckler said yesterday at the Carlton cricket grounds, where he hosted kite flying competition for his St Michael North West constituency. “The rating agencies would do what they have to do – their actions do have an impact on us but we have to do what is in the best interest of Barbados. The people who do the assessments would have to judge by what action we take,” he added. Just last month, Moody’s downgraded Government bond and issuer ratings to Caa3, placing Barbados on the same level as Greece, the Ukraine and Venezuela, and all but stating that the home-grown austerity programme had failed. It came six days after Standard & Poor’s had reduced the country to ‘CCC+/C’ on account of its limited financing alternatives and low international reserves. Notwithstanding, the minister urged Barbadians not to despair as he argued that the sale of the BNTCL was by no means Government’s only plan to return the foreign reserves back on solid footing. “There are inflows other than through the sale of the BNTCL. Those were some key ones and quite frankly critical, but there are many other projects, some of which have come in. We would not have listed them or reiterated them as we did those three because those three are significant. “There are others that flow into the country all the time, we just have to make sure that we manage the demand until such time that the bigger ones come in and to ensure that we defend our currency. We believe we have enough of those and there is no case for any devaluation, so we feel reasonably comfortable in that regard, but that does not mean that everything is settled, “ he stressed. (BT)
TAX STAIN ON BARBADOS STICKS, SAYS INNISS – Minister of International Business Donville Inniss is cautioning that Barbados will not soon escape the stain brought upon it for being declared a tax haven. “The tax haven label is not something that has gone away, slowed down or will go away in any foreseeable future,” Inniss told Barbados TODAY. This sentiment came on the heels of the recent move by the American state of Illinois to blacklist Barbados as a tax haven, following the introduction of a new bill by the state’s house of representatives. Bill HB3419, which also names a number of other regional and international countries, forbids businesses operating in jurisdictions considered “foreign tax havens” from submitting a bid or entering into a contract with the state of Illinois. The new measure also restricts “expatriate corporations” in the countries named from doing business with the state. Inniss, who said he was not aware of any such corporations in Barbados or that this country did international business directly with the state of Illinois, suggested that there was no merit to the move to blacklist Barbados as a tax haven. The minister said the decision in October last year by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to upgrade Barbados to a “largely compliant” jurisdiction in relation to tax matters and exchange of information was an indication that the country was not a tax haven. At the same time he acknowledged that the island still had a lot of work to do in relation to tax matters and exchange of information as the goal post continues to shift. Inniss said he was satisfied that Barbados continued to engage its international partners on the matter instead of just sitting back and “taking what people give us”. (BT)
‘NO GAINS’ WITH HISTORIC STATUS – A local heritage expert says Bridgetown’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site seems to have had the opposite effect than had been hoped. Peter Stevens, president of the Barbados National Trust, noted that before inscription in 2011, there were a number of restoration projects of key historic buildings. But in its wake, he said there had only been two restorations, while the island has lost four buildings in addition to a 19th century one being totally defaced. “It kinda feels like everything has stopped,” he said. “We got inscribed and then what happened? Someone said, ‘Well, we have had an economic problem’ and yes, that was factored in, but it wasn’t like we had bucketloads of money before and we managed to do stuff and we didn’t need world heritage.” (MWN)
FEW TEARS FOR DUMPED DLP CANDIDATES – A leading political scientist is describing the replacement of three St Michael constituency candidates for the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) as no surprise, while the constituents felt the changes made little difference to how they would vote. The DLP hierarchy last week dropped City candidate Patrick Todd for Henderson Williams, St Michael East’s Kenny Best for Nicholas Alleyne and Patrick Tannis in St Michael South East for Rodney Grant. Former Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Dr George Belle said there was reason enough to replace the three. Belle charged that Best had “failed as a politician and he didn’t perform” in the 2013 general election, while Todd “is already on his decline” and is not respected by his own party. However, it is the dumping of Tannis, who lost to Santia Bradshaw of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) by ten votes in the last election, which Belle saw as most interesting, stating that the DLP was banking on Grant’s association with former Member of Parliament Hamilton Lashley to bring home the seat. Meanwhile, some voters in The City were happy to see the back of Todd, while others expressed little interest as they declared allegiance to sitting parliamentary representative Colonel Jeffrey Bostic of the BLP. “It [Todd’s removal] sound reasonable and good. He ain’t nuh good and he don’t help de people,” said Percy Roach, who has been living in the Emmerton/Chapman Lane area of the City for 69 years, although Jason Hurley disagreed. “For years he did doing good,” Hurley said. For Elston DaCosta Bowen, who has been living in the City for the past 58 years, Williams’ selection makes no difference to how he plans to vote. “Colonel Bostic is my candidate. Whether they chose this DLP candidate or what, I voting for Jeffrey Bostic,” Bowen told Barbados TODAY. Over in St Michael East, which is represented by the BLP’s Trevor Prescod, no tears were shed for Best. “No problem with the change . . . but Best should not have started. I favour Alleyne as the next candidate 120 per cent.” said Anthony from the Ivy. “Kenny Best should never come ‘bout here. He don’t speak to nobody.” Over on 4th Avenue, Skeetes Road, the Ivy, Trevor Devonish became the unofficial spokesman for more than half a dozen men under a tamarind tree slamming dominoes or simply standing around. “This is Prescod territory. Prescod takes care of everybody. Dey could bring King Kong, Prescod is our man,” Devonish declared. Across at 13 Stratford Hill, Pinelands, Annette Jackman initially found it difficult to choose between Grant and Bradshaw, noting that both were good people who helped the community. (BT)
GRANT: VISION BASED ON NEEDS – Forget traditional politics and the traditional politician. Rodney Grant doesn’t believe in one, and doesn’t want to be the other. The Democratic Labour Party’s (DLP) newest candidate for St Michael South East plans to move away from the political status quo, and chart his own path of representation for the thousands of poor people living in his constituency. He was one of three new candidates chosen by the Democratic Labour Party last week, all from St Michael constituencies, to contest the next general election. (MWN)
WILLIAMS PLANS TO BUILD UP THE CITY – New democratic labour Party candidate for The City, Henderson Williams, said he had been working in the constituency long before being named a candidate. Speaking earlier this week, Williams, a businessman and director of the City Development Foundation, said there was no excuse for not helping others, whether or not one’s party was in power. “I think this is a golden opportunity to assist The City. Over the past few years, people of The City have indicated a certain level of dissatisfaction and we are going to fix that. “However, saying things like you can’t do anything because your Government is not in power is a cop-out to me and holds no water in my assessment. We are working with the slogan One City Working Together, where uptown and downtown is one city and we will work to push the entire city forward,” he said. (MWN)
TEACHERS WANT TWO PRO DAYS – Teachers want two days, instead of the traditional Teachers’ Professional Day, to talk about all the problems facing them, as well as a national discussion on education. This was the call from president of the Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT), Pedro Shepherd, as he addressed the union’s 43rd annual general meeting at Almond Bay, Hastings, Christ Church, yesterday. “In the last five to six years there has been no effort to engage the stakeholders in education on any topic. What has been happening is that the Ministry of Education will send you a letter, as they did with the Teachers’ Service Commission, and ask you whether you support one or not. Or they will send you the draft of the Use Of Technology Policy In Schools and ask you to comment. “This is totally unacceptable, and the BUT is once again calling for a national dialogue on education in Barbados,” he said. (MWN)
TRAFFIC JAM – The already mentally taxing experience of driving tests is becoming nothing short of a nightmare for learner drivers and their driving instructors. For months now, testing officers have been crying out for changes at the Licensing Authority in order to ease the pressure on students, but to no avail. The driving instructors maintain that a shortage of testing officers was leading to long lines, lengthy waits and postponements, placing added pressure on already nervous learner drivers. When Barbados TODAY visited the Licensing Authority in The Pine, St Michael shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday, a large number of vehicles had already queued up on the compound, with instructors gathered outside, while impatient learners either were asleep in the vehicles or sat snacking. Some had even left, clearly convinced that they would complete their assignments and be back in plenty of time. Veteran driving instructor Erskine Cumberbatch vented his frustrations, as he pleaded with the authorities to be considerate of the learners, and to do whatever was possible to ease the stress on the students. Cumberbatch explained that having just three testing officers operating daily was not working out, with back ups within the system causing a trickle down effect. In a brief comment to Barbados TODAY Tuesday evening, Minister of Transport and Works Michael Lashley said he was aware of the ongoing problems and was working to have the vacant positions filled. He asked driving instructors and testing officers to be patient in the interim. “We are aware of it because some testing officers have left. We are actually waiting for the posts to be filled. We have made the request and the situation is being handled. I won’t be able to say when they will be filled but I will check on it,” Lashley said. (BT)
TEEN STRUCK BY CAR OUTSIDE SERVICE STATION – A teenager was struck by a car this morning as he sat on the wall outside the Sol Banyan Service Station. Police are investigating the accident which occurred along Bay Street, St Michael around 6:05 a.m. Police said 31-year-old Jermaine Williams, of Durant’s Village, Holders Hill, St James lost control of his vehicle and struck an embankment, before hitting 19-year-old Christopher Tossaunt. Tossaunt, a resident of Chelsea, St Michael was transported to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital by ambulance. (MWN)
POLICE INVESTIGATE SHOOTING AT DURANT'S VILLAGE, ST JAMES – Police are investigating a shooting incident at 4th Avenue, Durant’s Village, St James that resulted in minor damage to a small shop today. According to lawmen, around 12.45 p.m., two men opened fire on Pierre’s Variety, which is attached to a dwelling house occupied by 29-year-old Pierre Sandiford. The men then fled the scene. The shop assistant and some of the occupants of the house were at home but no one was injured. Police are asking anyone with information relating to the incident to contact the Holetown police station at 417-1700 or 419- 1701, police emergency 211, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-8477 or the nearest police station. (BT)
THIEF ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IN COURT – A burglar attempted to strangle himself in court yesterday using a shoe lace, but was quickly pounced upon by officers. Repeat offender Shamar Renaldo Welch, alias “Sammy”, who was also the subject of a recent wanted man bulletin, had protested against being sent to prison when he appeared on two theft charges. He said he wanted to kill himself. Police apprehended him last Saturday at Yearwood Land, Black Rock, St Michael, and Welch appeared yesterday in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded guilty to two theft charges. From the time the handcuffed 28-year-old, of Rockhampton Road, Grazettes, St Michael, entered the courtroom, he complained about his arrest, even interrupting the court with his loud griping. (MWN)
I WAS STRESSED – A habitual thief will spend the remainder of 2017 in prison after he was sentenced to 12 months at HMP Dodds Tuesday afternoon for stealing four energy drinks. Andrew Melvin Franklyn of Edgecumbe Tenantry, St Philip who has been on remand for the past three months, admitted to Magistrate Kristie Cuffy Sargeant that he stole the drinks worth $28 belonging to DHB Holdings on January 26. In presenting the facts, police prosecutor Sergeant Martin Rock revealed that Franklyn entered the Sol Service Station on Bay Street, St Michael and was seen by employees removing the items and placing it in a haversack. He then walked out of the establishment. The matter was reported to the manager who followed Franklyn via motor vehicle along the said road. He was able to stop the man and made a request for the items to be returned. However, Rock told the magistrate that Franklyn handed over one of the drinks which he placed on the passenger seat of the vehicle and then made his escape. The theft was reported to the police and Franklyn who has 16 previous convictions, was later arrested following investigations. Addressing the magistrate Tuesday, Franklyn apologized for his actions. He went on to explain that at the time of the offence he was going through some stressful times as he had just gotten out of a relationship. “I was stressed and when the woman left me, I just wanted to be drunk,” Franklyn explained, saying that he stole only two of the drinks from the service station. “I only took two Monsters from the gas station and I left home with two. The officer charged me for all four of the drinks because all were cold. The cold ones mixed with the hot ones,” he told the magistrate. “I am at the mercy of the court. I am asking for leniency and to take my three months on remand into consideration. Don’t use my antecedents against me because I have already paid my debt to society on those,” he added. However, the magistrate did not believe a word of what Franklyn said. “You are trying to give the impression that this is a one-off situation and that is not the case,” she said. She then addressed the lead investigating officer in the case and congratulated him on a job well done after requesting his presence in court. “The Court wants to congratulate you on a job well done . . . . You exercised common sense under the circumstances,” she to the officer as she sentenced Franklyn to time in prison. (BT)
JAIL FOR DRUG OFFENDER – A 55-year-old man Tuesday began serving a six-month sentence which includes drug counselling and rehabilitation at HMP Dodds. Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant handed down the ruling on Anderson Carlos Leroy Brathwaite, of Glebe Land, St George this afternoon after he pleaded guilty to possession of an apparatus for the use of the illicit drug, cocaine. Police prosecutor Sergeant Martin Rock told the court that lawmen were on patrol on April 16 in an area of Bank Hall, St Michael when they spotted Brathwaite. He allegedly began to fidget with his pants pocket on seeing the police. They stopped and requested a search to which Brathwaite consented but not before removing an object from his pocket and dropping it on the ground. It was a glass bottle with a hole, containing residue suspected to be that of the illegal drug. Asked to account for it at the time, Brathwaite who is known to the law courts made no reply. However, in the dock of the No.2 Magistrates’ Court Tuesday, he said: “I been struggling now for a little while . . . . I was at Verdun [House] . . . I made an attempt and I would like to know if you will help me with Verdun?” Magistrate Cuffy-Sargeant pointed out to Brathwaite that he had already been given such an opportunity and threw it away. “You had that before . . . but you have to help yourself. It’s OK to ask for the help and get the help but you have to play your part. If you are not willing to help yourself, then it is not going to work,” Cuffy-Sargeant said as she imposed sentence. (BT)
12 MONTHS FOR STEALING DRINKS – He was charged with stealing four Monster energy drinks, but habitual thief Andrew Melvin Franklyn tried to convince the court that he took only two but was charged because “all were cold”. “The cold ones mix with the hot ones,” the 40-year-old told the District “A” Magistrates’ Court before he was sentenced to 12 months in jail. Franklyn, of Edgecumbe, St Philip, had pleaded guilty on a previous occasion to stealing the drinks from DHB Holdings on January 26. The court heard that Franklyn went to the Sol gas station on Bay Street, St Michael, and was seen putting the drinks in his haversack before leaving. (MWN)
TATTOO ARTIST AVOIDS PRISON – A 24-year-old tattoo artist Tuesday avoided a six month stint at HMP Dodds after paying a forthwith $500 fine for breaking a court-imposed bond. Lamal Vallance Whitney of 3rd Avenue Licorish Village, My Lord’s Hill, St Michael admitted to possession of $38 worth of cannabis when he appeared before Magistrate Krisite Cuffy-Sargeant in the No.2 District ‘A’ Criminal Court. His guilty plea to the April 16 offence meant that he breached an 18-month bond to keep the peace and be of good behaviour imposed on him by another court back in January. According to the facts read by prosecutor Sergeant Martin Rock, Whitney was at home on the mentioned date when police executed a search warrant at the residence. He was found lying on a bed with a transparent plastic bag containing 18 small Ziploc bags with the illicit drug, which weighed 7.4 grammes. He admitted knowledge and ownership when asked to account. “I apologize for my actions,” Whitney who has 23 prior convictions for drugs and theft told the court Tuesday. It was at that time the police prosecutor informed the magistrate that Whitney had breached his bond. After he was asked which option he would excise – the fine or prison – the money was paid to the court. However, he now has one month to find another $1,500 for the latest drug offence. Whitney returns to court on May 19 to show proof of payment. If he fails to pay the amount, he will spend six months in prison. However, his legal trouble does not end there as he is also charged with assaulting Lance Whitney on March 28. He denied that charge which will also come up for hearing on the May date. (BT)
SPINNERS TAKE PRIDE TO VICTORY – Jomel Warrican completed a five-wicket haul as two left arm spinners shared eight wickets to lead Barbados Pride to a narrow 26-run win over the Jamaica Scorpions on a final day of pulsating action at Kensington Oval yesterday. It was a fitting end to the regional first class season at Kensington as the Scorpions, set 341 to win, fell for 314, 45 minutes after lunch on the final day of the Digicel Regional Four Day tenth round contest. Warrican took five for 87 from 26.1 overs while Sulieman Benn bagged three for 90 from 24 overs. Fabian Allen put on a stunning display of hitting to smash 60 off 46 balls but Warrican and Benn admirably withstood the pressure to seal the victory that assured Barbados a second place finish behind champions Guyana Jaguars.

Gayle reaches 10,000 T20 runs - West Indies Twenty20 superstar Chris Gayle became the first batsman to score 10,000 runs in Twenty20s, when he belted a typically bellicose half-century to fire Royal Challengers Bangalore to a 21-run win over Dwayne Smith’s Gujarat Lions in the Indian Premier League Tuesday. The veteran left-hander, who has not played for West Indies in 12 months, hit a sparkling 38-ball 77 – his first half-century in 17 T20 innings – as RCB, sent in at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, raced to 213 for two off their 20 overs. In reply, Lions made a good fist of it but were restricted to 192 for seven off their 20 overs, with Smith failing at the top of the order with one. New Zealander Brendon McCullum pummelled 72 from 44 deliveries but lacked support in the top order. The headlines, however, were all about the sensational Gayle who with 32, six and 22 in his three previous innings in the tournament, entered the game just three shy of the 10 000 run mark. And he achieved the mark in the fourth over of the innings and in his 290th T20 game when he edged seamer Basil Thampi to third man. The 37-year-old then unleashed his full powers, blasting five fours and seven sixes as he raced to his 61st T20 half-century off just 23 balls, launching left-arm spinner Shivil Kaushik for his fifth six to raise the landmark. Gayle featured in an up-tempo 122-run stand for the first wicket with captain Virat Kohli who punched 64 from 50 deliveries. The Jamaican eventually perished in the 13th over when he was lbw to a leg-stump yorker from Thampi. Gayle now has 10 074 runs, well ahead of McCullum who is second on the run-getters list with 7 596, with Australian Brad Hodge third on 7 338 and West Indies power-hitting Kieron Pollard fourth with 7 087.

SURF BOOST – The inaugural Barbados Surf Pro has proven to be a boon for the South Coast after almost 200 international surfers and their entourages descended on the island last week. The World Surf League Qualifying Series 3 000 event, which took place from April 11 to 16 at Drill Hall Beach, drew surfers from as far away as Japan, as well as from surfing powerhouses United States, Hawaii, Australia and Brazil. Competitors from 20 countries were on the island for the event. Louis Venezia, who along with Chris Clarke of Surf Promotions Barbados promoted the event, told the MIDWEEK NATION there was a major knock-on effect on tourism from the international surfing event.

A HARD BOW TO ROE – New head coach Adrian Thorne is neither downright disappointed nor despondent with Barbados’ display at the Flow CARIFTA Games which ended Monday night. Thorne said he always set high standards but it was unfortunate there were sub-par performances from some on Barbados’ 28-member team, notwithstanding the tough conditions in Curacao. Barbados gained just 12 medals – four gold, four silver and four bronze– their lowest medal haul in the last four years after gaining 16 medals in 2014 and 2015 and 20 last year, including six gold, six silver and eight bronze. “The guys for the last five days were in a battle. We had some illnesses in the camp but they did fairly well with what we had. It was one of those years that we didn’t have it,” Thorne said. (MWN)

Does Drastically Under-Pricing Still Work?
TorontoRealtyBlog
Does anybody still read the newspaper?
And no, I don’t mean online. I mean does anybody get up in the morning, head to the front door, bend down while holding a cup of coffee, and pick up that beautiful roll of newsprint, curled inside a blue plastic bag?
I’ll admit, I stopped subscribing a while ago. There are always those moments when you think you don’t need a subscription, and yet you still don’t cancel, for some reason.
When I got back from my Honeymoon in 2013, our front door had fourteen newspapers laying on the footstep. Oops, I guess I forgot to pause the subscription?
But the real kicker came when I switched gyms.
For years, I read the newspaper on the stairmaster – the one with the upright handles and the curled plastic edge that made it easy to fold the paper into quarters, place it over the screen, and read even while hitting the top of the “hill” in the workout.
You know every gym has its cast of characters? The guy that screams with every rep on the bench press, the woman that makes a “shoosh” noise with every step on the treadmill, or the guy that never touches a piece of equipment and is always talking? Well, I was “the guy that throws newspapers.”
A 40-minute workout on “fat-burner plus,” and a full copy of the Globe & Mail meant that I was feverishly shuffling papers, and when finished, my attempt to gently place the paper on the ground often resulted in a sweat-covered newspaper being flung three machines to the left.
But I read every word, every section, every day (except for Wheels; I have no interest in cars), five days per week.
When I left Goodlife, and started CrossFit, my newspaper subscription was no longer needed.
And yet I still long for that first whiff of a fresh newspaper on a Saturday morning.
A friend of mine still reads the paper, every day (and does the crossword like he’s twice his age…), and will often say, “Hey did you read the article in the paper today about…,” and go on as though I also wake at 6:15am every day to check yesterday’s news.
My response is usually, “No, but I did read that article last night, on my phone, before bed.”
This past weekend, the article that was the subject of our back-and-forth was about under-pricing in the Toronto market. Although it wasn’t really about under-pricing, but rather a simple “snapshot” of the market that introduced the topic of under-pricing, but didn’t really offer any analysis, or take-aways.
The article?
“Cricket Club House Gets 13 Bids; Sells $605,000 Over Asking”
First and foremost, we really see how a person that only reads headlines will never truly understand what’s going on out in the world. This headline offers only absolute numbers, but no relative ones.
But the article goes on to describe how a house that was essentially worth $2,000,000 was priced at $1.4M, and ended up selling for, you guessed it – around $2,000,000.
The agent said, ““I knew we’d probably get $1.9-million to $1.95-million based on a couple of recent comparable sales nearby, but I priced it really low to bring people to its door.
Then added, “I see some homes in the area take multiple offers, but at most you’ll see a handful, so to get 13 is a big deal.”
Perfect. This leads exactly into what I want to talk about today.
So first and foremost, is this agent suggesting that had the property been priced at fair market value, that it would have sold for $1.9M to $1.95M, and that the “under-pricing” by $600,000 strategy was responsible for the $50,000 – $100,000 premium?
Secondly, is producing 13 offers, on a house that’s under-listed by 40%, an accomplishment?
I’m not knocking the agents here. These are top dogs, not just in that location, but in the GTA.
What I’m asking is: can you measure the success or failure of a massive under-pricing strategy by the number of resulting offers?
Or to take that a step further, can you actually apply a failure to the strategy if you obtain a certain number of ridiculously unacceptable offers?
I’ve written blogs before about the “strategy” involved with over-pricing, then under-pricing, and how I think it’s so incredibly see-through. Of course, I’m putting the word strategy in parenthesis, because it’s usually anything but a strategy. More often than not, the practice stems from inexperience, and even desperation.
Picture this: a house is listed for $1,200,000, with “Offers Any Time,” and it sits on the market for 30 days.
The listing is terminated, and the property comes back out onto the market for $999,000, with “Offers Graciously Reviewed On Thursday, October 25th At 7:00pm.”
Can this strategy really work?
Are buyers that naive?
Show me the buyer that sees the listing and says, “Wow, $999,000? That’s a great price!”
This buyer doesn’t actually exist, right?
This strategy would never work, would it?
Well, if it didn’t, then this blog post would be going nowhere.
Late in the spring market, a colleague of mine had a listing that was rotting on the market at $1,299,000. Four weeks, no bids, and the seller was getting anxious.
So what’s the move? For all you armchair real estate agents, do you reduce to $1,279,000? Does that reduction move the needle at all? Probably not. Wait, that’s being generous; definitely not. Any buyer who was interested in the home anywhere near that $1,279,000 price would have come in with an offer when the property was listed at $1,299,000.
Would a reduction to $1,249,000 move the needle?
I suppose it depends on value, doesn’t it?
But in the end, my colleague decided to terminate the listing and bring the property back out at $989,900.
It was absolutely, positively, ludicrous.
What kind of buyer in 2018 would be fooled by this? What kind of agent would bring his or her buyer through the house and allow the buyer to believe that the property was attainable at $989,900, or $1,100,000, or even $1,200,000?
What kind of buyer? What kind of agent?
All kinds.
This strategy actually worked, and this time, I’m not putting the word strategy in parenthesis, because although it was a Plan-B, and it was borne of desperation, it worked.
It worked, really well.
Because the property didn’t just sell for “around” the original list price, ie. the $1,250,000 that the seller might have accepted, when the property was on the market for a month at $1,299,000.
No, the property sold for $1,310,000.
(gasp)
I know.
And in between being shocked at the stupidity of a buyer who paid more than the previous list price, and far more than what the buyer could have purchased the property for just ten days earlier, you’re also hating the game.
To be fair, you’re probably also hating the player.
But be honest with me for just one moment. If you’re going to apply “fault” to this situation – that a buyer paid $1,310,000 for a house, listed at $989,900, that was listed for $1,299,000 ten days earlier, which probably could have sold for, say, $1,270,000 with ease, to whom, or what would you apply that fault?
It’s easy to blame the system, or lack thereof.
It’s easy to blame the listing agent for the tactic, er, strategy.
But isn’t it the naive buyer’s fault in the end?
Of course, that situation I just described is rare.
I just came out of a similar circumstance the other night with a very different result.
An east-end property was listed for $1,698,888, again, with no takers. This property as well was listed for just shy of four weeks.
Low and behold, it was re-listed….wait for it……for $998,888.
Yes. A $700,000 price reduction, now with an “offer date.”
It was the talk of the industry, for both good reasons and bad.
Cynics were staying “it’s stupid,” without straining for a deeper argument, and yet some were saying, “The agent has balls for trying this!”
Now what do you, the general public, make of this?
Would it work?
Would buyers really line up to bid on a $998,888 list-price, when the house was just listed for close to $1.7M?
No. Not a chance.
Couldn’t happen, wouldn’t happen, should never happen.
Except that it did.
This property received thirty offers.
Thirty.
And while I’m not privy to the contents of the two-foot-high stack of offers, I would hazard a guess that there were a whole slew of $1.1’s, $1.2’s, and $1.3’s.
In the end, my buyer clients purchased the property.
That’s right, my clients “out-bid” twenty-nine other people.
Except, did they really?
They bought this house for a paltry $1,562,000.
Almost $140,000 below the original list price.
A cynic might point out that they paid almost 160% of the list price. But does a list price really matter in this case? The property was effectively put up for auction at $1, and we won the auction, which, I might add, was well, well below our pre-determined reserve price.
And when I say that my clients “out-bid” twenty-nine other people, and add the cynical and rhetorical question, “Did they really,” what I mean is that we were really only bidding against two other buyers.
Twenty-seven of the thirty offers were never in the game.
And how many of those thirty offers were absolute garbage?
So do you blame the listing agent and the seller for wasting the time of those buyers who submitted “garbage” offers? Or can we buck the societal trend in 2018 and actually hold people accountable for their actions?
Sorry. I always bring politics into it…
As far as the “drastically under-list” strategy goes, specifically after the property has already been listed once before, you can see that these situations can go either way.
Sure, I chose to write this blog after I personally represented a buyer when the situation went my way. But the story is as fresh as your grandmother’s apple pie, so the timing seemed right.
As for the buyers out there, you now (finally!) have access to sold data, but you don’t have access to previous listings. Make sure you know everything and everything about the property, including the listing history.
I know this is like telling somebody to wear their seat-belt in a car, but as is the case both in real life, and in real estate analogies, not everybody does the smart thing…
