A totally uninspired post

Our avid fans have noticed a drop of in the rate at which articles are published on this site.

The purpose of this site is to share insight on the current state of global affairs, hopefully written with a little humour to help lighten the sometimes-depressing stuff we write about.

We have written on many subjects from science to space, politics to pegs and trains to other stuff with the goal to not necessarily being tied to limited range of topics and banging on and on and on and on about them.

In order to do this though there needs to be a creative spark, a little “oh that’s a good thing to discuss” or even “well I never knew that”. The problem at the moment though clearly not writer’s cramp is a lack of current events.

It would seem that the world has gone into slow motion, the same old dull stories hanging around and no real progress anywhere on anything.

For example:

Donald Trump is now on a state visit to the UK.

Well, this is not new. The orange premier is after all of the pomp and ceremony the former empire will provide and that’s all. He is indulging in a lot of self-promotion… “Look at me with Mrs Queenie of Englandshire at the Palace of London or is it Windsor… gosh they built the castle really close to the airport… they must like planes. I have a big one”. One can only guess the tirade of abusive tweets that will follow.

Yet another Tory runs for the top job

Politicians are nothing. Sorry politicians are nothing if not predictable. There are about 40 applicants for the top job… it is leader of the conservative party of course. This owner of that job will automatically become prime minister. They are clearly not applying to be the prime minister. What a perfect global disaster would it be for Trump to run the USA and Johnson to run the UK…. You can interpret “run” anyway you wish so long as it is derogatory.

Brexit is going nowhere

Mainly because no one is running the country right now… and this is why everything is going along smoothly with the obvious exception. Brexit is stopped and merely treading water. It is odd that a decision that was made and affects the whole country can only be dealt with between school holidays and when parliament doesn’t break-up for a 3-month holiday. Maybe a rant about the pay and benefits package self-awarded by politicians for politicians will be the subject of a new post.

Plastic is Killing Gaia

As you know mother earth (Gaia) has a bit of a problem with plastic right now. It is of course evil and will take us all down. As this article is being written using plastic keys on a plastic keyboard and displayed on a plastic screen one can only see the benefit. Apparently Malaysia is more than a bit annoyed with the rest of the world for sending rubbish their way. This is because we no longer send it to the CFC producing, ozone destroying Chinese state for burning or whatever they do that we can’t.

Summer has finally landed and it was nice while it lasted.

Saturday was a great day, lovely warm sunny day. Lots of fun and exercise in the fresh air.

Sunday was cold wet and miserable.
