Tell Me Something............Anything!

the way I see it I pay good money to the government so they can employ people to worry about this stuff for me.

You don't keep a dog and bark yourself.

My worry is making sure the month end invoice run works okay.

Yeah but it would help if they were even half way competent. They have screwed the CS up and got the best to leave.

That would imply that prior to recent times they were doing a bang-up job but I'm not sure that's true. I seem to recall a lot of foreign policy balls-ups going back to at least their foundation. I suppose it could always have been worse.

We don't seem to have been fighting any wars recently, which is pretty novel.

So sinking us would not be considered by them I think. Putin and a few of his cronies may not like us much, especially as his and mates assets here are frozen.

This is national Russian TV, it's quite normal, the Russians are not like us. It wouldn't surprise in the least to hear air raid sirens before the end of this year, and it will be entirely our own fault. As a species we simply aren't advanced enough to handle nuclear power yet, shame it's discovery wasn't a few centuries later.

'Misanthropy Today' will continue after the news.

“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!” :eyebrows:

Watching the Avengers (in colour) until the end of the world. Where can I get some heavy sedatives and a handgun?

Now you're starting to sound like a Trump supporter :ner: Life's too short to be worrying about 'what ifs'. Might sound a bit defeatist, but there's not a lot we can do about it apart from enjoy the music. Get some bungs in your Lintons Mike, the world will sound a lot safer then :)

There will be a change to our scheduled programme. 'Misanthropy Today' will not be shown as the presenter has decided we're not worth the effort. In the meantime, here's a repeat of Gash in the Attic.
