Just for anyone who needs cheering up.
If that doesn't make you feel a bit better there really is no hope for you.
Ash's hair looks fairly ginger in that picture, although in truth almost a year on we haven't actually been able to decide what colour his hair actually is. Some days it looks blonde, others brown and occasionally reddish. As Kristi says, he has mood hair.
Spent pretty much the entire day at work looking through records of other peoples work and data mining stuff from it to put on a spreadsheet. Started about 09:00, finished at 16:10. My eyes felt like they wanted to bleed by the end of that let me tell you.
Still, as I keep reminding myself. It is better than being outside working on aircraft. They look all nice and shiny on TV but up close, they are dirty, smelly and leak strange fluids.
A bit like elderly aunts really.
Yeah, Top Gun doesn't seem quite as glamourous now does it!
Had a conversation recently where I mentioned I moved all my investments out of the UK before the Brexit vote and still hadn't started putting money in as the pound as was going to crash as soon as Brexit finally happened. He was telling me I couldn't know for sure that the pound wouldn't go up in value. Technically that is true. Equally technically, the odds of winning the jackpot on the UK national lottery is 49,000,000 to one which is the same odds as Elvis landing a UFO on the Loch Ness Monster head, therefore since people have won the national lottery many times Elvis must be out there flying around in his space ship looking for a place to land. It is true just because every time something indicates a no deal situation the pound has went down it doesn't mean that it will if things work out the way it looks like it is all going.
But the pound is going to lose value relative to other currencies if we leave on a no deal. I was hearing someone saying how this would be great for us, as our exports will be cheaper and imports more expensive giving us a competative edge on the world market.
This is also true and would indeed be a great thing. If we had a huge manufacturing base to take advantage of that. We don't. That is a secondary economy. We are a tertiary economy. The UK makes money based on things like banking and information. We are no longer the workshop of the world.
Maybe I am just living in an alternate reality to everyone else and the one they are in, we do have lots of industry?
