If the grannies and grandads of today were still running this country,
and our communication systems you'ld all have so little to complain
about. Today they're all run by youngsters who have little concept of
reality and staffed by workers who, in my younger day, would have been
considered of a lower educational standard, only fit for stacking
shelves in supermarkets.

I was thinking that myself watching the sergeant at arms on the
parliamentary
channel, trying to explain to a committee that it wasn't her fault that
being a failed
shelf stacker she let a plod run rings around her.

LOL. Time, sadly, is too precious to allow the luxury of getting my
blood pressure up following the antics on that channel

I don't make a habit of watching the comedy channel, it's just
I stopped on it looking for BBC propaganda on one channel up.

It was the funniest sketch I'd seen since the ministry of silly walks

The truly laughable thing was she kept the job she didn't deserve
in the first place, Noo labour, Noo Nepotism, you know it makes sense

Coo 'tanks Steve, you've saved me from despair in the nick of time
(though it's usually 'teenths' (at least where I am)).

Teenths? how do you cut an eights into a teenths?
Cut an eights with a knife in half gives you a sixteenth, donit?

look at the names of the last four months of the year - they start with
the prefixes for seven through ten.

[1] Yes, I know that actually this is because the start of the year
moved from March to January.

Actually Jan - Mar have always been the first three months of the
year. Certain Caesars added July (Julius) and August (Augustus) which
knocked the numbering out for the rest of the year./pedantic mode
