Hey, maybe someone important has read my earlier blog on this subject, as there is a very good chance that an honour is going to be rescinded.
Just goes to prove that my statement that NO ONE should get an honour that is related in any way to the job they do was a valid point. It is about time the rules are permanently changed before the whole credibility of the honours system is confined to the rubbish bin - that's if it's not there already in the minds of many.

Are we still being ripped off?
You bet your life we are!
The World Bank has dropped its forecast for growth for the year to come from 3.4% to 2.5% and the United Nations and many of the financial papers are predicting, or raising the likelihood, of another world-wide recession. The market analysts predict a significant drop in the price of oil and other commodities, including foodstuffs, during the course of 2012 but whilst this may be good news for the individual consumer it will do nothing towards improving the growth figures, the only thing that can get us all out of the mess we are in.
So why are we still being ripped off? Simple!, because someones still making pots of money and if its not agriculture, commodities or industry it must still be the financial institutions!
But how do I know? Also simple, Rolls Royce are reporting sales figures up 40% and Bentley are up 30%, so someones got lots of money to spend on stuff that one does not really need, who else could it be?

New Version of Windows!
Blimey, the paint is hardly dry on the last one. I am thinking of going back to a typewriter, they last for over 50 years, don't use electricity and don't need a new version every ten minutes.
Come on Microsoft how about supporting the software that you have already released and issue an upgrade not continuous new versions. Who is going to buy a new version, all the businesses are skint and the public are turning to iPads and Mobiles?
We upgrade our computers last year it will be a little while - YEARS - before we do it again!
