Just some
notes for today.
Promises
Promises
The university
financial corporate sector has made major advances during the political
conference season. Not only are all the parties afraid to say "boo"
to these geese but they say they will chuck all the money they want in their
direction, albeit much of it via students.
Has nobody
realised that in the world of the 21st Century what undergraduates might do now
as they set out into the world from school could be radically changed to
benefit us all? The universities could revert to being essentially research and
connected facilities for key areas.
If all left
school at 17 to go into employment with major training and experience elements
and this for the year round with just basic holidays, not only might they learn
much more, they might become people aware of the realities of life, production,
service and the rest.
And they might
in fact be a lot happier.

It appears
that Sky Sports engaged in a grim struggle for viewing figures want to screen a
Premier League football match on Christmas Eve. This has caused protest with
the result that Sky may well add a second game.
The main objection is that this shows contempt
for the fans of the clubs, the players and many others. I shall be at my
prayers.
Not just for
Christmas, but for heavy snow earlier in the week.
And Another
Thing
Ms. Theresa
May had a bad coughing fit when giving her speech at the Conservative Party
Conference. It proved to be something of a struggle to complete it. The
question is why.
My bet is on
Boris Johnson's deodorant. As a big man waist wise I suspect he might make heavy use of
one or other of the more powerful products on the market.
Some of these
could almost come in to the category of poisons given their contents. The
fragrance ingredients do not need to be given. Many people are now affected.

paperback by Kate Grenville, "The Case Against Fragrance", £12.99,

If it helps
Theresa, should Bojo be a major sprayer it will disrupt his endocrines.
One could only
hope.
It's not the cough that'll carry you off...
