Hi

The virtual kettles on..... So while I let it boil i just have this to say

Well you can't turn on the telly, or read a newspaper these days without some ill informed reporter shouting in a slightly panic ridden voice about the end of the world, being just around the corner (that bloke on oxford street could have been right then!) or how the pound has plummeted to a 15 year low, since records began 15 yrs ago.

Each day the channels and the news reporters try and out do the other with doom. One will quote, stock market loses 15 million in one day, and the paper just next to it on the paper stand reads 18 million lost in the city in one day. Wow there is a 3 Million pound difference there! That's a lot.

I have to stop myself screaming at the telly these days, when someone says this is the worst data to have come out since records began! They don't tell you that records of the specific event have only been recorded in the last 15 years. That's only back to 1994.

The other thing that really riles me, is that the footsie 100 can rise for five days straight without any coverage..... Yet if it drops for one day, it's in the news..... If it drops for two days, It's a catastrophe.... if it drops for 3 days, we may as well shoot ourselves, the aliens are coming to invade the world, were all doomed!

E sales are up massively year on year, but high street retail is suffering. Why is this..... One if you live in Britain the prices are too expensive, Two if you shop on the high street the prices are too expensive, Three shops in Britain have basically become the 3D version of the Argos catalogue . You go in, browse the items, touch it, feel it, abuse it to see if it scratches easily and then you go home and do an internet search for the cheapest version of it.


Oh yes and experts! Wow, there seems to be an expert for everything. 1 yr old fossil found, we will now ask Dr peter spligdolski who is an expert on 1 yr old fossils his opinion.

Expert should be reclassified as average Joe with an opinion and guess work. Just because someone is referred to as an expert does not mean they are right. Most cases they are towing a company line or they are just widely guessing and getting paid to give their opinions. Because lets remember, nobody, anywhere does anything for FREE.

So with that all in mind, I still and always "will work for money"


Well, I can hear the kettle has just finished boiling so

Milk and sugar?
