Just another example of the sickening and growing wealth divide.

“…while american businessmen snap-up Van Goghs for the price of a hospital wing…” Nothing Ever Happens – Del Amitri.

But the pound is based on a unified national economy with one political leadership. The euro is one currency to cover a number of divergent economies in various states of distress with a myriad of political leaders.

What could possibly go wrong?

Did I predict that? My memory isn’t what it used to be…

IMO they can kick the can down the road only a certain number of times because each time they do so the can becomes heavier, the distance it travels shortens, and the foot that kicks it becomes more bruised. Despite the illusion of calm at the moment, the ECB’s base rate cut sounds like a panic measure to me. We are far from out of the woods yet.

Women: How many pairs of shoes do they need? Isn’t one handbag enough?

“A verbal agreement isn’t worth the paper it’s written on!” – Henry Ford.

I find it incongruous that TV news journalists, apparently well supplied, can report live via satphone on a catastrophe of such proprtions where no one else supposedly can reach.

Perhaps? Or maybe they want to downplay the event.

After a couple of days without food he’ll be only too eager to eat meat.

I toured Wylfa back in 1992. I’ve no idea if it is still possible to do so.

Make Wicker Man effigies to burn, and imprison her successors within them.

Now wash your mouth out with soap.

The trouble with x**s is that it imposes itself upon those who don’t choose to celebrate it.

As a southerner I get annoyed hearing announcers with geordie accents. Whastever happened to Received Pronounciation?

I’ve suffered several severe concussions. It takes a while to fully recover. Take it easy.

Surprisinghly I prefer the new layout. I would tweak a few things here and there but it’s working for me. What doesn’t work so well is the Android email app. Despite my trying I can’t sync my contacts across to it from my pc based account. Should I delete and reinastall the app or should I do something else instead?

Like many things they are not what they once were. They taste more salty than beefy now.

It’s Karma.

Why not just give your pooch a traditional dog’s name? You wouldn’t name your children this way, would you?

The kids can have their own accounts, that you as the supreme admin of the tablet microverse can set the limits to. You can buy the Google Play Prepaid vouchers if they want to buy apps or app upgrades.

No pills.

No smells.

I think that hi-viz is now so pervasive that people ‘switch off’ and don’t notice it any more.

I am an endless source of bitterness. There’s no risk of me running low…

According to the Waily Excess another Killer Storm is on its way…

The wind appears to have reached its choppy, flappy, gusty sustained peak here for the moment. MetO concerned about a possible sting in the tail of severe NW gusts at the back of the atorm. My roof timbers are creaking like a galleon at sea.

This is the calm before the storm. Expect the worst of it from 05.00 tomorrow.

One ‘gun’: The M58 Davy Crocket. One ‘bullet’: The twenty ton equivalent nuclear mortar round it fires. One target: A packed Palace of Westminster.

What is the disaster that is supposed to do that to London? An earthquake?

And those Protect and Survive illustrations bring back some memories.

Yes.

London needs all the blessings it can get.

With CGI sharks in it as well?

That’ll be the average wind speed. Gusts will reach higher speeds. The threshold for damage to buildings is 47mph and up. Depending on which part of London you live in you should be spared the worst of it as London is both inland, and the mass of buildings will attenuate the force of the wind.

Will this storm be as severe as forecast? We won’t know until it hits. Living on the central south coast I’m sure I’ll find out.,. I’m prepped and waiting with both anticipation and trepidation.

Monday morning is likely to be the most doomtastic.

I’m sure there is rejoicing in the streets at the 0.01% rise in GDP.

They weern’t unique in screwing up badly.

I think most of those 300 convicted were ‘groomed’ by the security services. Which does raise the issue of who is really behind ‘terrorsim’.

But when you need to replace an expired battery…

I disabled Google Now. I don’t want it reasing my email or search history, I don’t want constantly annoying cards, and I’m not the sort of person who hands-off organising my life to an aop.

Your 30th birthday feels like a train crash. Suddenly, YOU’RE OLD!
