Pleasant thoughts just before bed-time.

Gas prices here now are close to as they were at the worst of the fuel-cost shake-down last year.

The J guv has just re-introduced a 25.1/litre surcharge it has temporarily suspended when us serfs couldn't afford the gas to keep THEIR economy going. - So evedently they think we are ready for another fleecing.

I've got two EV scooters which are in fact legal. One has a range of 20 kms, which is just about right for an average day's commute and shopping. BUT I'll get pulled-over and harrassed at least half the time I ride it. - Now I'm in a country which could easily produce cheap, economical, safe and convenient EVs, but all we get are more laws AGAINST them. Clearly what us peons think doesn't count for squat.

- THEY're apparently trying to bleed us enough so we can't fight back anymore, before we find some freedom and peace of mind through alternative (to oil) energy.

... The Polish political (anti-ZOG) government are all vanished in extremely suspicious circumstances. Well I'm more convinced than otherwise they were assassinated. As was Haider from Austria in his car crash. And a few days ago, Nigel Farage, a British politician, who is very vocal against the Bilderberger-run Socialist States of Europe, is lucky to survive a small plane crash in circumstances which are also rather incredible. THEY say the political banner the plane he was in was attempting to tow got caught in the flaps and caused it to fly out of control. But the people who put banners on planes say this is almost impossible because there is a procedure to follow which avoids this.

All this political cloak and dagger stuff. ......... It's all so ... it's all so !! Beam me up Scotty.

'Had' % 'Evidently.'

Profuse apologies! I shall atone by spraying my face with steam and applying high voltage to my bare flesh.

(It's time for my pre-sleep facial sauna and a few waves of the old 'Tesla-wand.')

Now why am I not at ease this morning??? Well I spent four hours trying to fix an old cassette player I use for work. I fixed it OK ... new belt (It'd turned mushy and had stretched) - and then i found some spring had wedged itself against the 'rewind' cog, so I had to drill and fit a tiny screw to replace the plastic part it used to sit on because it had somehow snapped. Then a wire came off the motor - because I'd taken it to bits about ten times by that stage ... then I 'lost' a switch cover (but never mind- it isn't essential) ... Then 'X,' 'Y,' & 'Z.'.

Then I noticed the playback was playing-up. There was no sound in 'reverse' mode. Then there was no sound from the cassette at all??????????????????????? Oh dear! The connecting strip had hardened and cracked and they can't be fixed, thus I had to give up. Oh happy days.
