Buzzing about ...


Busy Busy Busy ... busy bee busy bee ...
... now that was entertainment ... Arthur Askey ... (other black and white Music Hall acts are available) ... if you don't know ask your (gt) grandparents ..

So ... we are all in this together ... working through the pain ... we managed with austerity during the war ... still looks like bleeding the patient dry to cure a headache, but I am certain that they know what they are doing ...

... whether they are being honest in telling us what they are doing is another matter ... I still have the sneaking suspicion that in 3 yrs time GB-populace will be presented with a 'bill-of-sale' and advised that we are now jointly owned by burgeoning economic powerhouses of Asia ... `it was tough but we struggled through and got a jolly good price, don't you know!' ...

... then again, perhaps this is Fate settling scores of Empire ... there is a certain degree of irony in this ...

... still, in less than 2012 hours we have a feast of running, jumping and prancing about to look forward to ... and several decades of reaping the legacy ... and what fun, many (mostly) just words of condemnation for unelected regimes of the Levant using heavy weaponary within national borders in defence of its own populace against 'unwarranted agressors' ... then we have missile batteries on rooftops in the East End and we all pray that none of our loved ones are flying out of Docklands over the summer ...
... again irony sometimes does not know when to stop ...

... and through all this, those who work for the public purse just knuckle on ... no share bonus ... no incentivised pay-scheme ... no pay-rise ... just more demand ... fewer colleagues ... more measurement ... more targets ... more abuse ... less support ... its almost as though they want us to fail ...

... surely not ...
