Iceland & Elections

One day we bring down the Icelandic banks and the next they halt European air travel and bring a massive reduction to climate change. Ironic.

The election has gone all "X-Factor" and the LibDems have never had so much free advertising, Nick and Gordon loved it, Dave just looked uncomfortable.

My beloved SAAB has had lots of money spent on it to get it through its annual raincheck.

HMRC are sending me cheques then six months later asking for them back.

My bank is hassling me as my credit card was used to buy a one way flight to Syria. Yes I have been there, many years ago, but i can assure you i would buy a return. Believe me you would want one.

Modern Life is intolerably rubbish. If it wasn't for golf and my sojourns to various clubs with the likes of Baxter and my latest filly (a tad older this one, experience is truly everything but nothing excites like the fountain of youth...) I would be kicking this mortal coil.

Elect the Dead

And to think we have a whole month of this.

As usual the papers and TV are whipping us into an election frenzy.

Let battle commence......

I for one am completely sick of the whole affair already. I want neither Brown / Cameron or Clegg or their associated cohorts to run this country.

And lets get one thing clear. The Economy is screwed. It will be screwed if Labour carry on, or whether the tories, lib dems, greens or the BNP are in charge. We are in debt and we as the population will have to clear this debt. Whether it is in the form of a raise in NI, fuel duty or a cider tax one way or another we will have to pay.

Ive lived through the misery of the 60's and 70's, the rise and fall of the 80's and 90's and the gluttony of the 2000's and believe you me, it really doesn't matter who is at the helm if the ship is sinking.

I will be (or trying to be) ignoring the media for the next month.

I have forayed recently again into the world of Have your Say which depresses and amuses me in equal measure, everyone is an expert on everything and nothing. The election issues will no doubt spark debates on stealth taxes, immigration, unemployment, the NHS, new drugs, social problems, chavs, asbos, the world cup.. you name it.

I was however cheered by seeing Man Utd lose last night and the bitter reflections of Sir Alex.
