Educashun Educashun edu er I'm off to the sun.

Well what do you know ? After a decade in which we have progressively educated an ever increasing percentage of our children we discover there is a lack of jobs. The degree in whatever, needs to be taken overseas or possibly into some form of slavery, oops internship, or even taking a post graduate gap year and helping some worth while cause in a jungle/swamp/desert with your new found knowledge of how to critique a Damien Hirst Art work, or which is the best soap opera for doing the ironing to.

Gotta love the socialisation of the educashun system.

I like a drink.
The Government tries to tell me that my like is somewhat injurious to my health, I do not have the 'expertise' of the Governments Health department to substantiate any counter claim, so I ignore their advice. I was mindlessly surfing when I saw this on the BBC Bloody Hell Now I Am Going to Get Throat Cancer Too

Well from that article I think I may well want to move to Japan, 25 units a week a light drinker 12 or 13 pints a week, not too bad a couple of pints on the way home from work :)
50 UNITS is a moderate drinker by the Japanese standard, that I think approaches normality, whereas here that makes you a raving alchy.

I think I will have a couple of my weekly allowance tomorrow when I get off :)

Later

Somewhat miffed, I just read that the Air Traffic Controllers are going on Strike on Thursday, my relief is over a week late, no fault of his family bereavement, and is supposed to get here on Friday morning.
I really hope the strike does not come about.
