Furniture for sale

Two tables and ten chairs.

More details:

Table 1: Solid wooden dining table, probably oak (I don’t know wood). Slight damage (see smaller picture below) - bit of skirting (I don’t know my carpentry) missing. Beautiful bit of furniture.

Six high-backed upholstered wooden chairs with covers hiding slight damage to upholstery (photo 3.)

Table 2: (Fourth picture) Round, extendable to oval. Solid.

Chairs (last photo): four of them. Beautiful heavy wooden chairs with leather upholstery. Excellent condition.

Buyer must collect from Brussels. The tables both disassemble. I paid several hundred euros for each of these pieces. I haven’t set a price, but will accept the first reasonable offer. Must go in the next couple of weeks.

Any questions or offers, please get in touch by email: contact [at] kimbahlee.com






Meet Gianluca

Meet Gianluca (not his real name). Gianluca is an MEP. Gianluca earns only 6000 euros a month after tax and has to get by on little over 200 euros a day in expenses. His office is little bigger than two battery hen farms and a gin and tonic for him costs as much as eur3.50. He begins work at half past October and finishes at July, sometimes working as much as several hours a day three days a week. He has only three residences, one of which he even has to pay for. And once a month, every month, eight months a year, Gianluca has to make a gruelling first-class journey to the heart of Alsace, to eat choucroute, drink chilled pinot noir, and cheat on his wife and his mistress. Please sign this petition to end this torture. All it takes is a signature, and with continued pressure maybe someday Gianluca will be spared his almost monthly inhuman treatment at the hands of Europe's profligate paymasters.

Keep the European Parliament in one place for the sake of Gianluca and all others like him:

Inferiority complex slowly diminishing

In Brussels it helps if you have no experience of the marketplace before applying for your first job. Preferential qualifications are up to ten years in various educational establishments, ideally in various European languages, and terrible dress-sense.

It is thus with great pride that I announce that my final university results have come through and I will be awarded “the BSc Politics and International Relations degree from LSE with the classification: Second Class Honours (Upper Division).” I am the best-dressed graduate in town.

Soon I’ll be asking you to call me Dr. Kim Bah Lee.
