  Is it me or is anyone else getting bored of the mindless dribble of all this? i mean yes we all know local elections are nxt month but surely does nearly every thread have to be taken over one way or another by it? surprisingly recent news have said doctors are handing out more anti depressants than ever the last year has seen due to job losses, debts rising , theres more to life, the suns out, summers on its way and the birds are singing . Do we really care for the look at me im a councillor get me in or what the mindless lot do? i know i dont.

  Fully agree with you, though, Melissa.

  Alexander!
  
  Agree with you Melissa that there can be too much repitition which puts people off, on the other hand I'm just taking a coffe break from delivering leaflets on a lovely sunny day and it gives me a chance to have a nosey around other peoples gardens that I wouldn't normally see from the footpath .

  So agree with you Melissa. Sick to death of politics. This means that I cannot join in on many of the threads because it bores me senseless. And anyone who thinks statistics cannot be manipulated is fooling him/herself!

  83.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
  Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

  Yep retired years ago took my index linked non-contributory pension and lump sum and buggered off best decision I ever made at least I'm young enough to enjoy my retirement oh and the pension. Having Natascha and being a Dad again was an unexpected bonus?..
  
  Remember my rule of thumb regarding government guidelines... that on average males retiring at 65 only get another 18 months before shedding their mortal coil....
