Yes I see where you're coming from TT, but it will then swing the other way and we'll get the "Vicky Pollard" yeah but no but yeah but no but muppets who put everything down to Darwinism and can't accept responsibility for anything. Nobody seems to have any balanced judgement these days. Now when I were a lad ...............

Actually I blame the journos... You can hardly blame the bureaucrats for not being willing to say, when Jeremy Paxman gets into full saracastic mode about why "something wasn't done":- "Yeah, someone got hurt, sh*t happens. Think of it as evolution in action" |

And I used to be one, so I know whereof I speak... Only democratisation of the promotion system could save the public service imho.

Stole this from a guy's sig on another forum: Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame. The result of that thinking is just so prevalent at our General Committee meetings. All talk of RIB's, safety cover, electrical and CORGI checks on the club-house, entertainment licences just to play a ghetto blaster, fire regs. Sometimes I just want to shout 'but this is a sailing club!' Still, it's more jobs for so-called public servants, I guess. |
