Election Deadheat

November 25, 2010
So the local elections are over at last... Well, not quite. Not just yet anyway... Just when I was looking forward to not having to look at ugly mugs staring at me from posters pasted in every available place in town, it turns out that all the money spent in promoting our politicians was a bit of a waste because the election failed to provide an outright winner.

October 25, 2009

If I owned a bottled water company I know just what i would do in order to maximise revenues!

I would make it look like an accident ofcourse. i would then sit back and watch the money roll in as the striken city's inhabitants went on a water panic binge. That is, if i was an unscroupulous money hungry lunatic. I'm sure that is not at all what happened this past Friday in Strzegom, when the unsuspecting citizens woke up to a t...
