I've gone "postal".....

Hey, I'm not a big fan of the postal strikes (my model helicopter took 5 days to arrive!). Flippancy aside, despite the irksome nature of the delays I appreciate just what our postal workers do for us every morning (and some pretty bluddy brass monkeys weather mornings coming up soon, I expect...).

Canonbury Pubications (of make a million on Ebay/selling used cars/ scoop your fortune cleaning wheely-bins fame) took a rather more agressive note today in their mass email campaign. And why not? Of course the folk (singular) running this visible enterprise don't actually run any of these dubious businesses - they just charge you to read about these money-spinners! What a deal!

You may read the hyperbolic emails from this crumbling publishing "empire", you may not. My right eyebrow tilted northwards during the reading of the last profane ramblings (a la Roger Moore) in which it was suggested that Disney Theme Park, Paris, had got it all wrong because they didn't sell I-pod's and yuppy merchandise at their outlets. Taking on Disney? Whoever wrote this dirge must have the ego the size of a zeppelin!.......

Just makes me glad to be a humble hoss trader, with no pretentions about the "big time".

Until next time, my message (as always) is always read between the lines.....
