There are some local elections due in May, but unless the powers that be are going to knock a few pence off the income tax and create a few more allotment sites, I can't see anything to get overly excited about.
Anyone else have any thoughts on the matter ?

I have two real problems.
1. Squash bat is broken.
2. End of quarter is approaching and management are doing their usual out-of-their-depth panicking routine. Meanwhile, I get on with it and move the deals forward.

I tend to think that we make our own luck.
If you are suffering some personal misfortune then all sympathy, but I can't say that any action by the government or officialdom is causing me to lose any sleep

Good to know, that there are people in this world who don't have any real problems, although considering the ways of the world, real problems will probably catch up with them sooner or later.

Well, the position is this. About 7ish I got a punch in the head, which is Madam's way of saying that she wants some tea. And by the time I had served it up she had rung round the clan and checked to see that everyone was alive and out of jail, so no worries there. As to the rest, I checked the internet and no one had declared WWIII and even if they had, there would not have been a lot I could do about it.
So no, no real problems.
Except possibly the weather, which is forecast to be fine for the rest of the week. I have a floor that I want levelling, but the builder won't turn up while he can work outside, which he will do all the while the sun is shining. But apart from that, everything is kosher.

Utter balls.
My Mum's next door neighbour is in a hospice waiting to die because he had to wait too long to be seen by a specialist.
He's 59.
The NHS is fucked.
That's just one national issue.

How about the great aunt of that lass you meet at the supermarket checkout ?
And you are a sneering little shit who loves misery, so I can't see how you have any problems.

I spend every other week there so I know the poor man. The only one sneering about it is you.

Mowlick is the authentic voice of the 70% majority of stupid, and indeed sneering, English cunts who don't care about anyone but themselves, despise everyone not exactly like themselves, and take actual pleasure in doing the rest of us harm. And still you want to be in the same country as them. I blame you more than them.

Even the most right-wing voter who is not rich should be appalled by this. HMRC to close its self-assessment helpline for six months a year www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/19/hmrc-to-close-its-self-assessment-helpline-for-six-months-a-year (*) the pattern is the normalization of the enshitification of public service. And the effect is the frog in the boiling water thinks he hasn't any real problem. It's absolutely possible that normal people lose more money and nerves waiting endlessly in helplines than they earn with the tax cuts that are made possible by this shit idea.
