Oh, bollocks....

Oh look. Summer's over (this isn't actually true, as it'll carry on until the autumnal equinox - it just feels over. Always does after the August Bank Holiday). But it still seems far too hot. Wonder why?
Anyway, back. Do my absences get longer? And my spells of actually writing anything get shorter? I have no idea. Wouldn't be suprised, though. I can see the limit case...
Not as if I've missed anything, though is it? Not like there's been more terrorist threats, further attacks on civil liberties and a war in the Middle East, or anything. Pah.
Ho hum. Today's thoughts - privatisation. Does anybody really believe the private sector is more efficient? If so, I would suggest you try making a train journey. I'll grant you, private enterprise is much better at making money - it does this, largely, by simplyfying problems, and then selling you the easy solution. OK if you have software (well, in fact, it isn't, because you'll end up with something that doesn't do what you need it do to, but that's a whole other kettle of badgers), but not as useful for, say, organising a public transport system, or running the NHS.
I could also write about senior managers who have discussions which involve them drawing boxes with the words "outcome", "budget" and "difficulties" written on them, with various arrows connecting them, and then pretending they've done anything other than spend an hour talking bullshit. But that's another topic entirely.
Pah. Blogging. Rubbish.
So, what did you get up to on your summer holidays? I mostly spent mine mainlining heroin, and watching hardcore pornography. Although not talking to myself. I save that for when I write this drivel....
