Sometimes I get out and about delivering and picking up stuff which certainly has its moments but it's great for a change and getting out of the workshop.

Well anyway I was talking with a manager at an engineering company yesterday and he bought up politics which he's fine doing. I'm not much into it all to be honest. I admit that I read lots about the orange bloke in America and wonder with disbelief how he got where he is. I got a taste of that when this manager told me that in order to stick it to the politicians, he's thinking of voting for Pauline. People have a right to vote for whoever they want and that's none of my business, it was just the realisation of how certain types end up in power.

Also to TRK, it turns out that there is a growing faction of Beanie enthusiasts, so you might want to tone down your vilification regarding the appreciators of head warmers.

I hope Friday is a wonderful day for all. Cheers.

Also... Why do people do this?

"Those fat cats dont represent us! I'm going to vote for the grifter under the thumb of a billionaire, that'll show them"

Why not vote for something more progressive, like Greens? A party that is actively trying to reduce the power and influence of the fat cats at the top most people complain about.

If its growing in popularity, it sounds like I need to tone UP my vilification. These beanie-wearers are getting a little too comfortable going out in public with their woollen head garments, acting like its just for noggin warmth when really it has that more sinister hidden meaning

I'm not even going to dignify this with a reply.

DOH !
