smokingbootWell, that's been hard.
Not all bad but hard.
Project needs amending. Some bits break well and patch well, some...
Some issues are not so easy to fix. Not unfixable but still.
And because I don't talk about work, that will do for that.
Bro is upset because one of his projects has failed and people will lose their jobs. He blames himself. I am sure it's not all his fault but trust him when he says he could have done more. I haven't mentioned our mortified relative to him as he'll only curl up tighter into a foetal ball. He told me he loves me, proof positive that he's in a state of considerable emotional turmoil.
There's never a good time to lose one's job, but right now is special.
Even writing about the enormous humbuggery of the Tory conference is exasperating. It suddenly occurred to me that many of these braying idiots haven't just discovered their inner arse-bandit this second. Many believe him and many more want to believe him. They also believe in the power of thinking positively, the retrospective finding of reasons for it all making good sense in time. Here's all that will happen: Things eventually tend to reverse. It's utter rubbish right now for millions of Brits. For some at some point it will improve, Q these idiot tories claiming it was their plan all along!
The one that made me cuss the most is this guy:

I mean. What in the actual - no, that won't do. Time for a proper potty mouthed cuss, behind the cut.
What in the everliving fuck fucketty fuck fuck does this fucking fucker want for our nation? The fucking corner shop at the end of every fucking street in every fucking village, which is, what, divided up among milkmen? Will local farmers duel over which territories they can keep, Clanton vs Earp style? At least that would be entertaining. So if one dairy has a local hamlet of 400 people while another is located just outside Reading, what happens to the first? Are all his customers held captive in Little Twattery-On-The-Common or which ever fantasy bollocks wattle and daub Midsommer Murders set this twit imagines we all live in, and forced to buy from Farmer 1? Suppose, because he has a small customer base, he ups the price, what do they do? Here's what they do, they find another cornershop or rummage around in the supermarkets of the damned looking for cheap milk, because this isn't the seventeenth century and Mollie the Milkmaid isn't wandering down our streets with her bucket full of swiftly souring salmonella. Or maybe she will but we won't worry because by then maybe we'll all be back in white smocks praising the local squire for his generosity at harvest time and if there's no milk we'll just touch our caps and say 'mustn't grumble.'
Mustn't fucking grumble!
It's this awful nostalgia for a pre-40s, indeed, pre-20s fantasy era, a time which in reality was a miserable impoverished nightmare for most people, that's our curse. I will say though, that if it comes to pass beyond dribbling rhetoric, it'll cure itself sharpish. Off screen and away from social media, you can't hear a peep from tory voters on these subjects. Even the stupid ones are quiet.
