Timing is everything...


I'm not finished with my story, I'm just taking a break. Partly coz there are things I must address and also because my attempt at humorous parody of current events are less funny than the actual events! Especially now that BoJo has compared himself to the Hulk... the Bulk maybe, but not the Hulk. What's more, the actor best known for playing the Hulk has even weighed in the matter. How are you supposed to parody stuff like that? I mean, it's crazy and ridiculous already and funnier than anything I could think up! That doesn't mean that I'm not going to try. I just need to lie in a dark room with a cold wet towel covering my eyes, just for a little while you understand.

Does a trite saying ever answer a question, any question!

As trite sayings go 'work to live not live to work' has to be one of the top five. It does have to come with a shed full (an English expression basically meaning a shit load... a lot, is that better!) of exclusions and amendments. Can you imagine saying that to a surgeon? What would you have her do? To not do the extra couple of hours and leaving the latest stabbing victim to the care of the A&E nurses until they cannot deal with the trauma any longer and the victim bleeds out. Even a surgeon, or any Dr or nurse or Fireman or policeman or or or, should work to live but when they take up this wonderful and noble career, a dedication, they know what they are getting into. In fact Drs have to survive a trial by fire simply to get through the training. The training itself, simply to become a Dr is so tough and so stressful it verges on the limits of what is permissible according to the various bills on Human Rights. Then at the other end of the spectrum a single dad who i

Economic Collapse II - Revenge of the Dark Overlord!

I think it would be fair to say I am a jack and not a master. I love to know a little bit about all sorts of things but end up only having a veneer of understanding about a wide variety of topics. There have been some exceptions. For instance, when I moved from hierarchical to relational databases I had a transition problem so ended up having to dig right down to the internals of the code, and with the kind help of Oracle at the time went on their employees only internals course, and once I'd understood the file structures and what the developers were doing I could understand everything further up the layers! But that was a long time ago. I also studied economics to a reasonable level. After A level I kept on reading book after book and the more I read the more I appreciated if the fresh water and salt water communities could never agree then what hope was there for anyone else. So trying to help the average worker understand economics is no easy task. And, as I was, on four separa

Lions in the park!

 I've become intellectually lazy. I think I need to change that and get back to my daily thoughts! Well, if not daily, maybe bi-daily, as in every two days, not twice a day! And if not bi-daily then at least weekly!  Not that anyone is listening, except for my inner consciousness which, as we all know from my previous in depth semi-pseudo semi-psycho analysis, is really quite disturbed! My thought of the day comes after the attack on Sir Salman Rushdie, by a coward with little intelligence and presumably some mental issues! But later in the day I listened to an author who made some salient points that we need all to consider. He noted after the fatwa was issued over thirty years ago there was a coming together of most liberal minded people against the edict and an outpouring of support for Rushdie. But he noted, 'in this respect, we won the battle, but we are, today, losing the war!' What he means is. In those thirty years since a decrepit old man deigned to set mindlessly
