We certainly need a revolution- mine is through information but one way or another the old system has got to come to an end, it's becoming more and more oppressive and throughout history when an empire's overstretched its power it's always fallen.
With a replay similar to last week (Carole's said she's coming already for the 6th time again on Wednesday, it has its moments but would prefer a break) with the dentist put off till this Thursday and then taking Grace for her weekly gym visit there's only tomorrow during the day not pencilled in for anything. I just discovered an old sign a mile from another I went to in Kent, and will be dark when I get there whenever that is, assuming it's still there. I completed my 5th map square yesterday, the missing ones are always for a reason, four left and one was impossible to park so as it was getting dark already ran down the road to get it and come back. Another only covered maybe 100 yards of a road and the A-Z map was wrong, and lucky I got any in it, while the last was on a private estate, and the roads were all blocked at one end but went round the block and went through the actual entrance and just made it before it was too dark for anything to come out.
I haven't a clue if I've changed from the new meditation (he gave it a week 9 days ago to see a difference) but will carry on regardless as it doesn't take very long. And we don't really need to teach it now as he's just put it online but depends if people can see it there I suppose. Did I say the news is dire every day now? I am an unofficial Buddhist, and know the rule that if you hadn't been told about it would you know, and I suppose the only answer to that is yes, when I get my gas bill and buy petrol. There are two aspects to bad news which affect us, higher prices and restrictions on our freedom. Paris is the first EU city to start banning cars, first the ones over a certain age (London already did this for vans this year so maybe we beat them) and then presumably the rest. Watch London for French people in the coming months. If it was just the French I'd laugh and say they deserve it (who voted in a socialist leader again?) but it's the EU and we're in it as well. I just as an aside wrote a piece about people who make the same mistakes twice and how hard it is to explain to them they have done it, which is how politicians exploit us as they are wise enough to use the weakness in imposing such dire policies and blaming them on something we can't see, like the sky god, satan or the sun, depending which era you look at. But the formula is the same throughout history. My website is growing now and without intending it has become one of the major sources of information on political fraud on the internet. I had a place to study criminology for a masters, had I felt like moving to Cardiff or Hull and spending half the cost of the flat I was saving up for. But I did it as part of my degree and a year of criminal law so familiar enough without needing an actual lectureship to write about it.
People still actually read real books and magazines, and to stand a chance of educating more than the 100 or so people who have looked at it since I put it on earlier in the year it really needs a publisher, better still its own documentary. I am aware of an illusion, but not affected by it as I can see through it. Most people I tell don't trust me, but those who created it, but get many thousands or more to see it and the fraction who realise will then tell others and eventually get enough to kill the system dead. I never wanted or chose the mission, but just discovered a scam, checked enough threads to prove it, and tied them all together. Now without touring the country like David Icke (no energy or patience) I need the world to see it. |

Today was a day off with no ideas, and as soon as I looked outside the rain came down so stayed in. Until the map's complete I can keep scanning the roads for signs, washed up, watered some of the plants, realised 35 minutes after it began there was football on TV and of course Louise arrived around the usual time. Carole's here tomorrow but I suppose taking her to the cake shop for tea is the sort of thing I do myself so no great hardship. My angels appear to be on some kind of work to rule, if they are even working at all. I was finding road signs before so can't take responsibility for those, my new friend has still not replied (I'll think of a good name if she does, otherwise with my luck someone will work out who she is, stranger things have happened), and besides getting through all my arrangements easily I haven't seemed to gain very much beyond my own efforts. The angels are supposed to alter reality the ways we can't, fixing the odds in our favour and generally improving things to order. Not cheating as if I play a quiz or take photos I don't need any help, but when writing something or aiming for another ambition I can't complete it directly on my own, it needs someone else to decide and that's where they come in.
The details are you can't influence specific people, so I want a woman like whoever it is, rather than the person, and a job like the one I applied for etc. You can aim for a specific house or car as they don't have a will of their own and just get them transferred to you. So nothing beyond the ordinary, and clearly the angels don't seem to deal with the news as that has been truly dire for as long as I remember. I can manage financially but would be fairly well off if the decisions made had gone the other way. David Icke's book says we have devolved to the lowest possible level here on earth, and I can't say I'm surprised, of course people are spread out from best to worst, but the average could clearly be a lot better. Another thing they could do is get my new blog publicised, a few hundred hits need to be many thousands and more as it's not there for entertainment but vital information everyone has to know to become free. |

Give me a break, it's raining, I have to do something. Carole didn't come today, I was happy to miss out especially as yesterday's rain had turned into something more tropical, besides the temperature, so can relax before you know what tomorrow, and work through a few jobs which had been building up. I've got my printer fixed, it stopped printing black (very inconvenient for documents) properly soon after I bought it, and after finding they don't take emails or appear to accept phone calls wrote to Kodak in Hemel Hempstead and got a new print head and an apology, and it actually works now. No more 5p copies, and although I already had a scanner when this arrived with one included the old one packed up after 12 years and was very welcome to have a spare in reserve.
If the rain's stopped I'll go for a walk later, and see if other things are sorted out given the time available and lack of pressure. Since the new room was built the office here has become seriously untidy as I don't see clients here any more, so that will be next. Or playing quizzes all day... |

I'm guessing there are people wondering about the dentist, I had a check up as always and although the broken tooth was better off filled (if lasting, it's a bit of a test) another totally different one is kaput and does need a crown, and that is a month from now (apparently there's been a flood of new patients coinciding with the million extra people in London) although as it's undetectable won't really be noticed either way. Nothing else needs doing although one tooth had died but is healthy (and dead, isn't dentistry a dark art?). The crowns are slightly moving apparently but again just wear and tear rather than any more building work.
I then took Grace to the gym, and was given a bit more personal training, meaning I am now lifting the big stuff more lying down and standing up, he really pushed me to my limits but showed I was stronger than I realised. My mum had a flurry of emails on joining here, read them but got stuck at the point of replying, I haven't seen them and besides confirming her forum membership (I'll need to show her how to click the link) she didn't subscribe to the daily one so not sure what they mean as yet or if they need replies, but will do them tomorrow. Meanwhile I can go off to get another sign on Sunday so sorted for my collecting, and am just praying the filling lasts (it's survived two meals so clearly has potential) and only one session for the crown itself, the other is only the fitting if all goes to plan. My new friend without a name hasn't replied and will phone in the next day or two as it's just rude now. She can't read this, it would be impossible to find randomly. He said. |

Angels or not the energy and system is on full power at the moment. The negative side of course is the teeth, and a day after visiting the dentist another filling fell out, after 2 1/2 weeks waiting for an existing appointment where they could have put it back in minutes. So back again on Tuesday (earlier than I'd like again) besides the official one in a month.
On the synchronicity side here's a good one I may copy into the forum thread if it's still open and findable (Lesley? coincidence thread ;)?). I was in the gym last week with Grace and saw a black button on the floor I ignored, and 15 minutes later saw it was from my coat, went back and it had gone already and no one seen it. I told the instructor and went back on Sunday and asked if it had turned up. He said no, and the only other person next to him I'd never seen before asked if it was Paul & Shark (very expensive, I didn't buy it myself) and it was, and he'd bring it on Monday.
Monday came, he didn't, and then I saw it by the wall on the same bench he'd been on the day before, and assumed he'd been in and for unknown reasons not left it on the desk as requested, but very relieved as it's the neck button I need to do up and everyone can see. Thursday came along, and he was there again and I said I'd got the button and he said he hadn't come in and still had it. So although he was there when I asked and when I came back with it he found another one (they all fall off when the cotton wears out) which he'll hopefully bring tomorrow.
So firstly he had to be there when I was there and asked about the button, and then the button vanished 10 minutes after I saw it, and returned to the place I happened to look in four days later when I was expecting it to arrive, and then the same person was there a second time when I didn't know he hadn't left it there and there was another one I didn't have.
That's one for the skeptics I think.
So, I'm back in the dental loop, which like many things seems to come in a wave and then goes off until it starts off again, told Carole no I will not see her yet again tomorrow (apart from the predicted rain I'm in no mood for that malarkey again) and my mum's booked me on Wednesday for an internet lesson so beat her by an hour when that was suggested instead. She's new on the computer so doesn't know what many buttons do yet so until she's fluent won't be on much. We came in here tonight but just setting up the forum profile and viewing. I could have been slightly luckier as when I phoned the dentist had it fallen out and I'd called half an hour earlier she'd have done it immediately, but although the dentists are flexible their staff leave on the dot of 5 (really? what if they're in the middle of a procedure?) and not insured/allowed/arsed (choose the appropriate reason) to work without them present. But as I thought I'd broken the tooth (it's all white) and that would have been quite a serious incident she spoke to me and said it was a filling and put my mind at rest, and was there to make an appointment which wouldn't have happened till Monday had it happened later after they'd closed for the weekend. So an 80% good outcome, which technically is a profit. I have a yawning gap in my teeth now but if not painful will just become used to it again after the other one at the back. It's like living in a film sometimes, but I wish it wasn't always a Woody Allen one every time as it gets a bit demanding. |

As I look at the news today, everything plastered with similar stories of worldwide economic ruin, so little ever seems to change. I've said before I manage but would have twice as much money if the economy here wasn't up the creek as my investments would produce a lot more and some prices would probably fall as well. Having learnt about the causes of this dire state it's virtually all down to deregulating the banks, allowing them to lend money not to get it back, but earn fees and sell them on. They also stopped any limits on the amount and status of borrowers, so it was a free for all which hasn't stopped today, as the regulations haven't changed anywhere. The nature of the loans has changed as people are more wise to it, so now borrowing small amounts at four figure interest rates, generating even more profits and without the need to sell them on as all short term.
Meanwhile the rain has come and persisted, whether it stops me going out tomorrow remains to be seen, but nothing I can do either way about it. There's far less traffic that way on a Sunday so had saved it, but could manage the following day although the weather is not expected to change by then. I've been too busy to call my new friend who has apparently decided not to contact me (no apparent reason as far as I know), and doesn't really seem the type as she is pretty down to earth and direct. I should phone in the next day or so although that's yet to be answered when I have before.
I stood up to Carole though as I didn't want to see her today and the bad weather pretty well put her off as well, and I'm busy on Wednesday when she gets the cheap fares so may come without seeing me which suits me fine. Now she accepts where I want to go it's not too bad but is costing me more than a week of my own food as she never pays whether she can or not. Well not in my memory anyway. |

The rain stopped today and clouds left, and managed to get to Swanley 5 minutes before it got dark just after I'd finished the photos. I did my part going to bed early but when I sleep isn't always the same thing. I increased my map coverage by using a country road parallel with the main road, although needed a detour as the council had shut one route for no known reason (as a born pedant I'm writing to ask them). That means I can relax tomorrow regardless, and been asked to carry out various duties next week leaving little to my discretion now. I hope to call my new friend as well tomorrow and if the invetable message is left will she ever respond? And if not I probably wouldn't have needed her anyway, but she didn't seem the type to me and don't want to be disappointed even more. |

Another day another shower of rain. I went to a large antique market and saw a number of my old car models for way over what I thought they were worth, but not selling- I've had most since they were new and not going anywhere. I only bought two old Matchbox cars for 50p each as I sold nearly all of mine in 1977 when I needed the money and lost a fortune. If I see any now I buy them just to replace some I miss and replace some of my memories.
One theme going through my life are the seeds of possible future events. Normally they all fall on stony ground but for the second time this month a study has countered Michael Mann's tree ring data, this time a whole pile of genuine peer reviewers who all say what we've said since the details were discovered, they make other scientists look bad as well and want them withdrawn. If something's dead wrong you don't need to be qualified to do so, and it should have happened ages ago as this garbage has not just been floating around for many years but is the sole policy driving the world's political actions via his hockey stick diagram. Without that the whole bogus affair wouldn't have got off the launch pad, but is now orbiting Pluto it's travelled so far.
So if termites are eating away his very foundation, the very lynchpin of world propaganda and rhetoric, despite being discredited by Steve Mackintyre, who took years deciphering it despite not having the original injuncted codes. If they ever get out, only by Mann himself suing people for libel and being forced to disclose his own defence (currently two are pending) the expectation is it would finish his career, technically open him to prosecution and pretty well finish off the whole machine. How long can you keep an illusion going when seven year old children all over the world are saying the temperature isn't going up like he said? The figures are all available at the entry of a search term (nowadays I don't even need to click the mouse), and I've found the believers work from events while the realists work from the data. You induce from events and you deduce from figures, and they have lost the plot. How long will it be before the peers are fed up with the bad publicity making them all look the same? Not so long now apparently?

I've been moaning about Carole for a long time- unfortunately the visits seem more than a duty than anything else and now costing me money as well. It is nice to eat in the local places again as when my grandma was alive my father came early each week to avoid the traffic and we worked our way round them all and although I put on a lot of weight as we did at weekends as well it was good to do a few again. But every couple of months is more than enough and every week or two becomes more like hard work.
Unfortunately my intuition when something gave way was correct, and the front tooth has cracked from whatever dislodged the filling, and is now basically on probation. There's no know method to trace the damage above the gums, so went pretty much on the lack of effect to judge its limits and will just leave it now and pray. I've never cracked a tooth whatever I've eaten (free muesli had the same effect as a muesli bar I got on the way to work in 1989 as I missed breakfast, but that wrecked a back tooth which was repaired about the same day as it wasn't London) so something new to carry in the wide panorama of life. I expect it's better than a hernia, but the superstitious would have to spit three times after saying that. I said a while back people should play a new game of Jewish poker, like Yorkshire poker but trumping diseases rather than stories of poverty. I cracked a tooth- I've got a hernia - I've got a double hernia etc. Technically the winner would always be the dead one but disqualified by nature as they couldn't speak for themselves to play. My grandma was a born expert though, whatever anyone had she could frighten the audience with her current and past equivalent. It was a badge of honour for her though, as her parents couldn't afford to put her through university despite a scholarship to further education as they couldn't even pay for the school uniform for the preparatory work. It has always been a tragedy for academic people (like Spike Milligan, which apparently contributed to his depression) not able to get a degree and spend their lives missing out. My grandma wanted to do medicine, would have done a wonderful job, but had to spend her life nursing the family and a few people she knew instead. She went to business school and became a book keeper, and ran the family business for about 50 years instead, but seemed to have more pride in recounting her operations and complications than any other actual achievements. It was the challenge she thrived on and one of the rare people who fought and beat them all while the rest of us buckled.
So my angels are either working in mysterious ways or maybe aren't actually there. I don't know. I suppose if the tooth does survive unaided I won't have lost the fight, but why even have one at all? I left the phone message today as expected, and if she doesn't reply will be written off. It's as if every attempt with another woman sends me back to Grace in desperation. I spent a couple of decades avoiding having children (didn't we all if we didn't get married) and does seem a bit now more like taking my daughter out than my girlfriend (which she isn't as she won't participate) but am gradually getting used to her. She does run herself down by constantly saying what she can't do and doesn't understand, but in fact knows a lot more than the other two but judges herself a lot more. Carole's pretty average and had quite a good job but can talk a lot of rubbish sometimes, while the ex has been described many times and can only describe her mind as born geriatric. With OCD.
I have little idea what I'm doing ahead, until the next appointment in a few weeks, all I know is it's dark most of the time and I'll work my way round the maps in case more signs turn up. I couldn't even go shopping today as the rain was so bad and wasn't going out in it twice, especially as I go on my bike locally. I did get a little housework done, I have a dishwasher but as it's behind the kitchen it takes longer getting it there and back so wash some and the cleaner washes the rest as she doesn't like the dishwasher either. I used it for many years before I had a cleaner but only when I have to now, and it's very old and worn. I did as much as I could today as it wastes her time and she's missed a week so saves her the time if I do it before she gets here. I am getting some tongue after missing it for years, and can't get salt beef as well as you get so much you can't finish it all in time if you get two lots. Actually the shop today would have had it, but I'm hoping the cafe will slice it hot for me rather than have to fiddle or worse still have it pressed in a vacuum pack. I want the fresh stuff off the whole, which they sell for £40 or so now but need a family of ten to warrant buying one, and someone prepared to cook it. It takes me back to the 60s and 70s when my parents were still together, and the various deliveries of salt beef, tongue, bagels, viennas and yellow unhatched eggs we used to have regularly from the assortment of kosher shops in the area. That's little changed at least, and besides the cost and difficulties parking have reawakened to them once I saw what I'd been missing. And unless I give in and make tsimmes (it's the dumplings which finished me as carrots and sugar is easy, but only a cook can make dumplings) that's the only gap in the menu, I think other shops do hot latkes now Bloom's is gone, and the only other part of the equation would be to afford to move back to the area we lived back then (see the current monthly photo theme for an interior shot) and better still with a female partner, even Grace I suppose... |

Things seem to be unfolding whatever the intentions and hopes at this end. My new friend has replied and will be seeing her again, my intuition had no reason why not and was correct. Of course I would like more than that (men tend to with women, it's our nature generally and I'm not going to fight that) and if it's going to happen will happen or not. My mother's picking up the internet now, and did a few sites without my direction so hopefully will be mining the almost bottomless supply of material and finding all sorts as everyone here already has.
My own enquiries seemed to differ from the dentist's, as a cracked tooth online needs a repair, but mine was a wait and see. I prefer wait and see, and a real dentist is worth a thousand pages of writing that can't be questioned directly, and as the tooth isn't playing up will just live with whatever it is as that's how it is now regardless. I'm taking Grace to the gym again tomorrow, now I can't easily take photos (although I did on Sunday, I'm more surprised than anyone as I drove nearly two hours and it got dark five minutes after I'd finished taking them before returning) the trips which would increase my map coverage width can't happen till the spring as they would need a lot longer. I plan one as soon as the clocks go forward, either Cheltenham or Bournemouth first, depending where I am and what's easier. I wish I had a bigger car as mine's a city runabout and as comfortable on a motorway as I would be up the London Eye (I got vertigo looking up from the ground). I have borrowed large cars before in similar situations, or other friends and family to drive, but am running short of supply now and probably down to my 900CC or whatever it is and just struggle down the A31 until I hit Dorset.
I have just made a video explaining the details of my newer blog, which is becoming an authority on organised fraud. I now do video versions as apparently more people look at spoken material than written so have the set now to cover everyone. But I'm an unclassified user, meaning my status is nonexistent and almost talking to myself. The material is top class, not because of me, but the work I've done finding it. That means checking and testing the sources and making sure it all fits before presenting it. I see a forum post coming on. |

I'll get one in early today, the work with the angels is clearly not a direct route, far from it. The suffering which is part of life is described by Buddha as an illusion, but that's only once you're enlightened, and till then it's bloody real. I haven't really suffered with the dentist yet, or with the broken tooth, but there's more to come and the broken tooth will always be broken like an unexploded bomb. And remember, if they are angels they can do anything, including break or fix a tooth. Not that anyone's ever seen them fix one, but the theory says they are omnipotent.
Anyway, for three weeks my life is back to normal with no appointments, and didn't let Carole rope me into another meeting especially as a client is meant to be coming on Saturday anyway. I'm not sure of anything I'm doing beyond the gym today, and apart from looking from road signs it gets dark around 4 so won't be doing a lot outdoors either. Slowly housework is happening, ironing, putting things away etc, and am very pleased with the video I made yesterday as it covers things nicely in less than 20 minutes. I think such things should be shown in every school and then they'd be prepared before they went out into the world and fraud would become a thing of the past. |

Well the angels have apparently been bribed by the opposition for me, but Grace wanted me to set up her new digital TV converter for their spare set, and as usual (despite asking them) the shop didn't sell her a Scart lead. The box used a cable but unlike others says it requires one of each, and when I plugged it in without one nothing happened. Then I found the wall socket was plugged into their satellite dish and assumed that had taken the signal away anyhow. I had dinner and told her father, and then asked a single question to enlighten me, did they watch other stations on it before we lost the old TV stations, and when he said they did it confirmed it carried TV and satellite through the same plug. Then despite no one knowing, I did the standard check under the TV set to see if there was a spare Scart lead (there usually is for some reason), and there it was, and once I pushed it all the way in sound and picture arrived together, and I set it all up besides the text (we had none most of the year as the digital cable boxes couldn't decipher it). But we watched BBC and everything works perfectly now.
Then she said a drawer had broken and she wanted to buy a new set, and I said my neighbour would fix it, and she took it down and all that happened was the hardboard base had been pushed away from the frame. Mine had all wood and needed clamping, but hardboard is soft so glued it back and all should be well tomorrow when it's tested with a load. So after not thinking she could watch her own TV any more as the other is bagged by others, and needed a major repair to the drawers everything has been sorted out. I got a very nice meal for my time, but have set up friend's TV equipment for ages as the methods are similar whatever's being plugged in. And computer glitches. It's like doing a crossword for me so always happy to do it. |

When I started blogging long ago, I found some of my favourite times were when I'd done very little and found myself writing about all sorts of other things which only occurred to me when I started writing. Like today. I got all my shopping done locally although the watch battery hadn't been fitted and have to go back, but as I got the important stuff done without any of the possible difficulties I am happy. I'm almost finished with my inherited serviettes, which lasted a few years and just got some nice cheap ones as some can cost a bomb and only get dirty after a day's use.
So the little things count as much as the others, and from now till forever I haven't any known plans besides a couple of probable work bookings this week and my next meeting with my nameless friend (suggestions maybe?) now it's pencilled in. It must be nearly a month since I started the new meditation, and can't really see any difference whatever was promised, but it's supposed to awaken the parts of the brain we don't normally use. My bowels have been fairly active (nothing gets left out here, my grandma set a high level for the bar) but not sure about my brain.
So there is currently a vacuum, I can't make my photo book at a massive discount as the uploader's buggered and they haven't sent the reply within 24 hours sent about 48 hours ago to offer alternative means of fixing it. So if those angels are around they need to bring something in to liven things up, and not in the way the Chinese curse refers to either. |

| It does, she was very pleased and I was relieved as the shop (John Lewis as well) didn't tell her she needed a Scart even when she asked. They never put them in with the converters and forced to buy one. I hoped there would be one around somewhere, most places do. May you live in interesting times is the curse, not in a nice way though. |

I did similar things for my mum's laptop yesterday, but each day provides a new glitch and can't always sort them out on the phone if I'm not there, but most only happen once before you learn the fix and I don't think there are too many left now. I hope.
I'm sure if I had more of a social life I'd take much less notice of politics, like I did in the 70s and 80s. There wasn't as much hell and organised disorder back then, just economic woes I wasn't aware of except during the power cuts and when all my investments lost their profits overnight in 1987. I never bought another share after that as till then they'd done well, but if they can all drop in hours and take a year or so to recover I'm out. I think what catches me the most isn't so much the dire situation we're in worldwide at the moment, but the fact hardly anyone realises it or why. Max Keiser does if anyone watches on Russia Today (I can't as I don't get it but other people do so go there sometimes) and explains the economic side nicely, and the same things go on politically which he isn't concerned with, but all connected.
My part is by cataloguing the entire system and blogging it and making lectures on Youtube, but 100 hits aren't going to teach much, and besides the cost of publicity I'm not about to go out in the world and do it unless someone offers to cover the expenses (that's doing it unpaid, I want people to come and not think about it based on cost). Of course if anyone in the media liked it they could publish it somewhere properly, my article was a few years old before it was used so once anything's done you never know if it'll become accepted one day.
No plans at all at the moment, I've spent days looking for road signs but half the recent ones were found by other people for me, including at least one on a road I'd checked and not seen it as it faced the side of the road and not ahead. I ordered a new phone today as I saw one in a shop and for very little I can now get a phone with an organiser built in, I've no idea the capacity but has a huge memory so ought to beat the 20 lines this one holds which doesn't go very far. Of course despite the small odds anything new can turn up out of the blue, from another sign to one of the women calling me- the latest one (religious, so don't celebrate) has just been given my number and will see if she found me a fraction as interesting as I found her and will call. I suspect although she lived in the same road as me she would probably have been about five when I moved so not surprising I didn't know her (or 98% of the other people there after 28 years, it is London after all).
So there is a vacuum, and will wait and see if it gets more in than the routine last resorts, as I can't just drive 80 miles for photos when it's quiet as I do in the summer. |

My new phone arrived as promised, and is doing everything it should, they would have cost hundreds of pounds when they first came out, this was £40. I only needed a bigger databank as my watch was getting full and wanted to wear others, and the old phone had so few reminders (10) that alone was worth it. I couldn't activate the credit, and luckily had a BT phone to call from today as it was a premium number otherwise with at least 10 minutes before they answered, and despite having the bill the company hadn't activated my £10 credit so the operator had to. I didn't want a SIM card but it's part of the deal so have to use the old phone to mop up the credits or lose them.
Tomorrow is free so besides the weather and lack of photography opportunities will see what turns up. Grace is going to the gym for the last time on Wednesday and I hope my supervisor can come on Thursday. Otherwise I keep looking for old signs until the entire maps are completed, and getting pretty close now. There was a council type one I don't have in Crayford but won't go there for any less than a proper one. The rest is likely to be as usual, and will just have to see. |
