Random Irritations

It's dubious at best, but in many ways I would back it for public sector workers, as it would drive costs down massively.

Or generate a private sector... BG have done this but brutally honest the technical capability and service was not as good .. so we can mourn people losing their jobs that they were not good at or we can say we just see a cost alignment to capability. Meaning we see the good ones become private contractors and the bad ones being paid the right amount for their ability. Like all industries there will be a cost exercise and before you all get emotional none of the senior management or accountants care who you are or your dependents .. So it’s a case of live with in that system or get out and have an only fans page

Cryptocurrency.

Missed out on a holiday by selling early yesterday.

Played today peak time 11.20. We were still on the 4th after an hour, the group in front missed out the 5th. We caught them up by the 6th. On the 7th the drive went around 40 yards, the 2nd went through cover point and the 3rd around mid off! Checked their handicaps when I came home and for 4 people their HI totalled 192!

We have a local rule that anybody playing a full round has priority over a group playing 9. Luckily they went off after 9.

The electric car cult

Kit changes; watching last night's Leeds Wigan game. Leeds kit; blue & white. Wigan's usual kit of red & white changed to purple. Why; what was the problem with red? It would have been much clearer.

The electric car cult

Or a part of society which recognises the damage being done to the health of the planet and its inhabitants by the burning of fossil fuels when there is a cleaner, cheaper and renewable alternative available.

The energy might be cheaper but the cost of a lot of the cars is prohibitive for a lot of people.

Including me which is why I'm saving up for one and when I get my equity release I will get the works...solar panels, batteries, charger and car.

Whereas Lithium mining causes absolutely no issues whatsoever;

The biggest issue is that there are simply too bloody many of us and in many respects we have become too clever for our own good.

There are many things involved in the building and driving of an electric car that causes damage to the planet and it’s inhabitants also. The cleanest way is to use a bicycle or even cleaner just walk everywhere

When LP accuses me of being part of cult, of course I'm going to respond.
