Just one of the mock headlines from the Dialy Mash which once again rings so true:


Resumption of credit-based fantasy land edges ever closer


"Those who learn from their mistakes are doomed to drive the same car for three years and watch a slightly smaller television," says economist

While this is significant it's hardly suprising and more or less inevitable result of globalisation following the end of the bipolar cold war and American hegemony, ironically sped up by the enourmously costly endeavours of te Bush administration aimed at maintaining it.


But its not that significant.


I like Fisk because he's a total nutter and winds people up the wrong way, but you always have to factor his agenda and enormous ego when Reading anything he writes.


What does crack me up is the nutters his stories inevitably attract in the comments. It actually negates he need for the Private Eye 'From the Message Boards' as they couldnt hope to parody this.


Depressingly awful comic genius.

Care of the elderly is not usually on my radar (I'm in personal denial) but the news of the couple who died in their freezing home this week brought a tear to my eye. What a nightmarish way to live your final days. Whichever of them was the last to go (it is though that this was the wife) would have faced certain death alone with the corpse of her dead husband by her side. I can't stop thinking about that. It's just too awful. Anyway, this is interesting reading.

That is a horrible story, it kind of makes you wish to "hope I die before I get old", as Townsend once said. Trouble is I'm more or less there already. A sad indictment of the way we care (or more appropriately don't care) for our elderly. God help us all.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
