Stress tested
Grandad March 31st, 2011
I am really sick and tired of all these fucking clichés that have been spawned by the financial crisis.
They are stress-testing my patience to the limit.
Now I realise we must move forward but it is time the clichés were burned, or at least given a haircut.
I know we are in difficult times but each new tranche of clichés is bringing me closer to the edge.
Let’s stop.
OK?
Let’s draw a line in the sand.

My thoughts exactly.
It’s time for some blue-sky thinking.
CR.
We’ll run that one up the flagpole and see who salutes?
Good work Grandad!
You are thinking outside the box.
CR.
I’m in the Zone!
Yes you are.
You seem to be taking the helicopter view.
Good stuff!!
CR.
At least we are both singing from the same hymn-sheet…
Oh deary me.
Obviously many posts make blog work.
Oh – that’s interesting! My flag has changed because I’m using a UK IP address so I can watch the IPlayer.
draw the line in the sand by all means, but make it at high tide so it lasts or it washes away, just a tip.
Good Lord Grandad, just build a bridge and get over it, or next thing you’ll be attacking our precious children !!
Who’s gonna be first with ‘green shooooots’?
Perhaps we should park that for a moment and consider the optics through the wisdom windshield.
I actually really like the sound of “burning the Bondholders”. I hope it becomes a proper event on the Meet-Up site. Hell, even if it goes up on Ticketmaster for 25 euro plus 10 euro scam-booking-fee. I’d still go and watch.
Forgot all about spaghetti hoops. Might get some on the way home. I’ve the goo for them now.
Everyone has a goo for me Captain
Just don’t get your knickers in a twist about it.
How did you get the e acute accent on your key board?
Grandad,
I must be email address challenged, I tried to send the following to your email address listed in the contact section, but no can do! Wanted to pass on to you a book that I thought you might be interested in, “The Speckled People”, by Hugo Hamilton. May be you have already read the book, it wouldn’t surprise me but if not, you and any of your readers would probably really enjoy the story because of the relevance to all that is bombarding us these days. Sorry if I caused any consternation among your readers by not posting a comment pertaining to the subject at hand.
Heres’ one tired phrase I vote for to be banned: “At the end of day.”
“Going Forward” arrrggh
“Team player” Bullshit!
Have we covered all points of the compass on this one?
John – The address on the contact page is unfortunately working. leastwise, I’m still getting spam there.
