If only to make PR towks squirm and weep as they try to smooth over the "negative brand issues".

All those 20c pieces!

All those hours in the local fish and chip shop.

Ahhhh childhood.

British seaside resorts

I always suspected that British seaside resorts were a tad grim, but this is going too far.

The object of power is power

“The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”

― George Orwell, 1984

When I were a lad.....

Handwriting ability was a testable part of the school curriculum. This was in the days of nib and inkwells too. We had special books with faint lines for us to follow. If the serifs on the end of each letter didn't reach the correct lines, it often resulted in a telling off by an ICBM* wielding teach.

But then I'm old.

* ICBM: Intra-Classroom-Ballistic-Missile (aka: chalk duster).

Once the coalition takes power, all bets are off.

Mark my words.

A friend first showed me the Internet years ago
