Oh what a wonderful weekend in north Wales. Sun, sun, and even more sun - and lots of cool cider too. I use it as sun cream! Salty dog had a few pints too.
Gosh, it was just what the doctored ordered and now Wilt is so relaxed he can hardly get up – mind you that might be the cider too. Mrs Wilt was also in attendance together with Wilt’s brother and wife – they drink even more cider than Salty Dog and cost Wilt a fortune! No wonder even now I still have a hang-over. Gawd!
Anyway its back to the drudgery of work – however it helps add to the retirement savings. Not quite the retirement savings of some people in Oxfordshire and Shropshire, but enough for poor Wilt. Not that I am jealous or anything, unlike some might be from other parts, like Warwickshire.
Anyway, MPs expenses: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8592174.stm
And here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8587661.stm is excellent news. Plaskett (of Dunes) et al will have to go on a diet rather than claim the £400 a month no questions asked expenses on food. And the profit he has made on his second home will have to be repaid, and no longer the plasma TV replacement if it blows up. Nor indeed other furnishings or replacement bathrooms, or indeed first class travel on trains.
I am particularly pleased with the latter as I find MPs tend to lower the tone of first class travel. They are so, well, lacking any class, let alone dignity.
And the “Communications” allowance has gone – now that will be a good reason to dump Mrs C of Leamington Spa, apart from the fact that Dunes will be losing his seat anyway. I despair for Mrs C – what will she do? No one to listen to her moans – shock/horror. Actually, I do not give a shit, and neither does anyone else, which is the important fact she needs to understand.
My mate in Salop still has regular visits to his website, as late as last week, from the disgruntled and without compensation from the Spa. The woman is manic. Anyway he is off on another joint project with others in Oxfordshire and he does not give a shit. And then, he tells me, next week he has a shin dig goodbye party in a Midlands authority to celebrate his years of dedicated service before standing down from his independent chairman role – strangely enough Mrs C is not invited.
In further political news this chap: https://www.youfund.me.uk/antony-calvert/ is trying to raise some cash to oust Ed Balls – now that is a deserving cause. I am asking a certain friend in Salop to donate a few thousand quid, and Wilt has already donated a few pounds from his limited bank account.
Meanwhile poor old BASW are getting another kicking: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/03/29/114176/basw-rep-withdraws-after-exclusion-from-college-group.htm which is, I have decided, is well deserved. What is this Dork Dawson up to?
Well, he explains it here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/03/29/114176/basw-rep-withdraws-after-exclusion-from-college-group.htm and there are a range of views expressed by others.
And I had such high hopes for Dawson and BASW – I should have realised it would come to nothing.
I despair.
The only amusement at the moment is listening to the chuckles of certain folk from Salop and Oxon, and imagining the tears in Warks.
It was very strange today – we had a visit from Buckinghamshire County Council to Regulator Watch – it must be that Mr Campbell bloke who loves chatting to Mrs C. Very odd!
Wilt
