Dear Fellow Platonians,
As you may have noticed, your Supreme Queen has been AWOL since Gordon resigned.
There are several reasons for this, but frankly the main one was that I lost the will to write.
I'm pretty pleased at what the Coalition has managed so far and feel that a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders psychologically. I simply don't want to hear from Brown, Mandelson or Campbell ever again.
Things are going to be dire for a while and I've been forced to wind up my own business as there is no prospect of a SME like mine which relied on Whitehall spending being a viable concern.
So there we are, I've lost my livelihood and have put my house on the market [no HIPS!!] as I can't pay the mortgage.
But the Coalition are doing the right thing for the country.
I hope that the LDs and Tories continue to grasp the nettle so that peeps like me know the pain was worth it.
And there was us beginning to think "Plato" was Gordon's pseudonym whilst in residence at No 10!
ReplyDeleteSorry to learn you're 'sharing the pain' more than them in Parliament. [& particularly more-so than them who got kicked out]
Hope things pick-up for you.
Welcome back - you've been sorely missed!
ReplyDeleteOh thanx guys - been a tough couple of months and was at a funeral of a dear friend only a couple of day ago :(
ReplyDeleteTo coin a phrase - things can only get better ;)
Sorry to hear of your misfortunes. Sadly there's not much one can do apart from wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your friend, Plato. Things are definitely going to get better, keep plugging and keep blogging, you have a huge talent with words and warm, flowing style that keeps us hooked ;)
ReplyDeleteCrikey, if I'd known anyone was still reading - I'd have bucked my ideas up sooner :D
ReplyDeleteMany hugs for all that are still passing through despite my risible output since Gordon did the long walk of shame...
You have fans Plato, embrace our adulation!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your troubles, Plato. I had been wondering if the blogosphere had already lost another of my regular reads. I hope it's all positive from here for you, and that you keep pen to... er, fingers to keyboard.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you Plato.
ReplyDeleteWe've just learned that one of our neighbours is in a similar situation and, unless things take a dramatic turn for the better, will also be selling their home of 20+ years. They're gutted, to say the least, so we can appreciate how you feel, and we know we're also teetering on the edge.
Good luck.
Welcome back and congratulations on taking the fisrt step - always important. Looking forward to reading your insights again, hopefully on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your troubles - hope you regain your energy soon. There are worse places to do business and observe UK politics than this side of the atlantic!
Keep strong
Good luck for the future and keep your words of wisdom flowing!
