I had to laugh, well you do don't you. Listening to the news yesterday my curiosity was piqued by a report that Their Lordships, the country's Judges, had gotten themselves into a bit of a mucksweat and were threatening to resign en masse. It seems that the government is planning to put a cap on pensions and tax the excess.

A tad unfair you might think, after all, a chap needs to provide for the needs of old age and all that. Until you realise that the cap will be placed on pensions of over one and a half million pounds.

When I am not out taking photographs for the puzzles or being dragged around by Acrylic-Biff or driving myself insane trying to get the new business sorted out. I sometimes have time to relax with a nice conspiracy theory or two. Well everyone needs a hobby.
