It was fun, while it lasted. Well written and funny.
But not for actual money, I’m afraid.
I wish them well. Now off to find something else to brighten up my day 
Update, 5 minutes later. Well, that didn’t take long. Found two others (News Biscuit and News Thump) on the first page of Google – I am a happy man.
If you’re working for a company, for example, and you feel something is wrong (or something is wrong), going on strike, on your own, doesn’t actually work very well. In fact, you are likely to be sacked.
That’s why Unions were born. With Unions, all the people go on strike, meaning that it is not good for the owners of the company. Therefore, the idea being that the owners of the company and the Union come to some sort of agreement.
But it doesn’t seem to work in all circumstances and there are risks, of course.
But I was just wondering, if we think of a country as an individual and think of the owners of the company as the banks (and, therefore, the money markets) ……….
What would happen if all the countries got together and said that they had all decided not to pay the debts – i.e. they went on strike?
I mean to say, if one country does it, they have a rough time for a number of years. But if every country did it, all at the same time?
Doesn’t bear thinking about, right?
Or, maybe it should bear thinking about?
In every conversation that I’m having with F now, the subject arises.
How many? What type? Where?
I remember when it used to happen before but you knew that was ending just as soon as the little barsteward learnt NOT to do it inside.
I am, of course, talking about shit. To be more precise, dog shit.
Now it is the same but different. Given Rufus’ situation, every time I am looking for solid or, at least, semi-solid. Definitely not runny. And, ‘where’ and ‘how many’ becomes – one in the house; two in the house; two outside or whatever.
You get my drift.
I really have to stop talking about it every time we talk
