Back in a while

Gone on Holiday back in a few weeks. So any comments won't be moderated till I get back unless they are sent on the first half of Sat 19th Aug. (Might blog via my mobile - but it'll be txt stuff - so perhaps I won't ).

Man in a Shed said...: forty_two: I read the Forever War as a teenager too. I read Forever Free a few months ago. It didn't really match the first book - thought its odd taking up the story again after 20 years +. I won't put a spoiler on the plot - but I think the story perhaps says more about Joe Haldeman than the world he has created.; 5:31 pm

Strangely enough I had conversations with two friends ( one a software salesman and the other a Highlands and Islands development exec ) that made me think of your business as neither of them knew what blogs were or why they could be important. I tried to explain, but just could see eyes glazing over.

Perhaps you should move your PR business to Scotland - they could certainly do with your help !

On the site thing I'm surprise to see a continuing number of hits over time - despite no entries.

(I've updated my link to your new site - before heading of on holiday. By the way I think the small blogger icon of you holding the yellow file should make the transition to the new sight as it conveys a business, but friendly image all in one. ); 5:41 pm

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.

Inflation is taxation without legislation .. Milton Friedman
