Nothing was being discussed before except where you had being going and you buying a newspaper. Had you decided to go camping in Wales or scuba diving in Antibes we would have been discussing those instead which leaves us discussing which advert had chanced to cue you to where you did go. In effect we are left discussing what you have been doing. That's not discussing anything at all any more than discussing what anybody else has been doing.
And it's the first time I've ever heard of Scottish holidaymakers throwing money away.
And money being made round to go round is just a flip phrase. All you get following that principle is inflation and high interest rates and we all end up like that bird that flew round in circles until it flew up its arse and with vast money transfers to oil rich nations so they can pay for missile development. And when the **** hits the fan it's all Gordon Brown's fault which it is for trying to be popular when everybody knows your pleasures are infinite.
That's the sort of thing a discussion consists of. Not your daily doings.
It's not that I think we should have a calmer way of life because there are millions having a calmer way of life already. It is that they have no voice as media doesn't pay court to them. An impresion is thus caused which is a false one.
And the ones already living a calmer way of life end up getting the missiles pointed at them. And the high interest rates and the inflation and young couples can't afford a house to bring a couple of kids up in without the mother having to go out to sodding work and looking 50 at 30 and hence requiring elaborate makeovers which make them look stupid as well as knackered.
It's you movers and shakers who are slave driving them. And encouraging the oil producing nations to have a tighter grip on our balls than they already have.
Discuss that Mac. Assuming you want a discussion about something interesting. Maybe you avoid such interesting things to discuss because you have a vague suspicion they won't be music to your ears and all this other stuff is a smoke-screen.
All that salty air has sharpened your quill!
