At time of writing I haven't the faintest
what, if anything, I'm posting between now and Monday, but I dare say I'll get
something knocked-out tonight (Thursday) for posting tomorrow!
Brwreakshit . . . sorry; the UK's trouble-free
and incredibly ordered exit from the European Union is - after yesterdays shenanigans in
Parliament - now so close to economic Armageddon I wouldn't put money on either
of them happening first, still, Liam Fox says we're almost ready to sign a
trade deal with Vanuatu, so it'll all going to be fine!
Buy toys; that's my advice - go out and buy
toys and pretend our elected representatives know exactly what they're doing. I
think we should have a referendum on whether bread should be free at the point
of collection, with death to bakers' who want money for their efforts, 'cos
there's nothing like trusting the country's future to the opinions of the people!
