Water may be wet. But let’s wait until January to be sure.

Spacious room with a single toilet and a floor to ceiling solid wood door: 🚨ILLEGAL🚨. But add a sink and anyone can poop to their heart’s content.

It seems the issue here is actually mixed gender handwashing, which is the real scourge.

To be fair, with the number of parts falling off those planes it was a statistical certainty that something was going to wash up at his house!

Right. So just strap a Saturn V to my space suction cup and I’m golden?

But how do you pin the turmoil on the other team if you do it before the election?

Empty flights from a military base with no press allowed, guaranteed.

Spent a couple of weeks in Uzbekistan last year and couldn’t recommend it more! Incredible architecture, fantastic people, fascinating history, … food.

Seriously though food is interesting if not my favourite, and you can find plenty of western options in Tashkent if you just want some KFC!

It was a national tech store, so had a few hundred locations around the country. I just had the one.

One of the big challenges was having little to no say in brand or supplier decisions etc. Specifically, we also struggled with paying inflated wholesale prices with the franchisee or then benefiting from volume rebates which weren’t shared. Really crushed our margins!

I suppose in a smaller chain you might be a little closer to the franchisor, and you might have some influence, but ultimately you’ll always be the little guy.

Been there, done that. Would not recommend. Space Pirate has nailed the experience. I paid a lot of money for essentially a job, and ended up selling at a loss just to get my time and mental health back.

That was back around 2010 so I’m sure it’s an even more difficult situation for franchisees today.

Ask me anything, I guess?

Missed it as a kid, but our local cinema put it on the big screen a few months back. Can absolutely see why it’s a cult classic!
