Hard Drive Crash
Last week my hard drive crashed - it appeared to lose its partitions.  So I spent almost a week in recovering all my valuable data. I  rescued most of it but it still requires sorting.  Once again I have forgotten to back up my system.  So please take my advice - BACK UP your system regularly.  I am now buying a new bit of software to help me do this automatically.

Democracy ain't what it used to be   The main political parties are now using (abusing) the honour system to create Peers who are then appointed as ministers?  How many unelected peers do we have in the government today? On my last count it was OVER 20. You have to ask yourself, what sort of democracy do we live in when around 20 of the Government front Bench are unelected peers and don't have to answer to constituents?  If David Cameron get in as PM his count will be much higher!!

More abuse of the Honour system - I'm not all happy that a young athlete - partaking in a sport that they obviously enjoy - can get a few gold medals in the Olympics - and get an automatic Knighthood? - whilst someone who has devoted half their life to caring for others is extremely lucky if they get a BEM.     If this is how our country uses the honour system then it should be abolished!!!

Pet Hates

I hate parking beside one of those monster trucks (4 x 4s like Land Rovers ) with the usual opaque windows - even worse I hate them parking beside ME.  When reversing to leave the car park I am unable to see other traffic because of their sheer size - its worse than a white van -  they should be banned from the normal car parks.  Farmers need 4 x 4s but not YOU!  I will support the government who wish them to pay a VERY HIGH Road tax.

State pension age 'should be 70'  say bosses!  But of course they can retire at 55! or even get Golden handshake for failing!
