Holiday Break
Dear reader
It is that time of the year when the rain and overcast cold becomes more than my ricketty old bones can handle. Hence, tomorrow afternoon, your correspondent shall be jetting off to Alicante, for a whole week. I shall, however, leave you with a few points to consider whilst awaiting my return.
1/ If the government anticipates the recession to have bottomed out by June and the economy to be growing from July, why are the DWP recruiting large numbers of people on 18month contracts? Could this reflect that government rhetoric and reality are differing?
2/ Will I be deported for supporting Basque seperatism?
3/ Will the Rt Hon Gerald Kaufman forgive me for not mentioning that he is in fact Sir Gerald Kaufman? I suspect he will.
4/ If 40 is the new 30, and silver the new black, what will replace the satsuma?
5/ Is Nietsche’s ‘Superman’ resistant to Kryptonite?
6/ Why, oh why, is telly going back 30 years - ‘Gladiators’ on Sky, ‘Minder’ on Five, etc?
Well, that should keep you in deep contemplation till my return, with tales of the Med, Spaniards and paella. Have a good week.
