I was told Macky D's give out a free breakfast to the homeless before 7.00 am if they pop in.
Not sure I'm at that level yet but many more weeks like this one and I might be in the queue. :(

i was speaking to some about the strike last week ( it started off as i gave him my ticket to see the football, cardiff v's the scabs ), he was telling that when a housewife would go into the bakers / butchers etc etc, they would buy what they wanted and pay for something else and it would be put on the shelf for the strikers to have, what a feeling that must have been, from both sides, the feeling of helping some1 out in the community and the feeling that some1 would help you out, must have been special days, standing together side by side, careing for each other, look at us today, couldnt give a monkies aslong as you have a new car , expensive holidays etc etc, a product of maggies britian i guess

Hoping to work tomorrow. If not it will be 5 days off for me. Worst since I started 20 years ago. Getting hungry now.

Me too Klean. Not a touch of work done this week and more snow forecast tonight. As bad weeks go, this is unparallelled.  ::)
