Waiting for Something Interesting to Happen

Well, there you are, fancy seeing someone like you in a place like this. Makes me wonder what the world is coming to. Still, pull up an aardvark and rest your weary jodhpurs. It may take a while for anything that interesting to happen. These days it seems to take longer and longer to get anywhere near anything resembling a punch-line in these ramblings, let alone any kind of point or purpose.

Not like the good old days, eh?

Sometimes it seems that these things just ramble on for a while, maybe mentioning the penguins, or some out-of-date piece of popular culture that no-one under a certain age knows the wot of, as well as the use of archaic language and rather long-winded, and wandering, circumlocutions that, although seeing erudite, never really seem to amount to much of any great significance or import.

However, sometimes – just sometimes – there is a dull gem in amongst al the waffle and verbiage – that with a bit of polishing could refract some kind of light onto the issues of the day that would make you feel that your time here has not been entirely wasted....

Today, though, is not one of those days.
