View from the shed on fixing "stuff" and the supply of power...

All the best things are invented in sheds-I'm sure cider and cars were invented in sheds,anyway I think I have come up with a great money saving invention- its for a new "Reality TV X factor style show"

How does it work and how does it save us money?

Rather than have elections we have a X factor style show where dim witted inbred privileged "contestants" who crave  15 minutes of fame and being popular over doing anything useful, pit their wits against each other- the winner gets to form a "cabinet" of sycophantic similar dim wits, the money generated from the TV show pays for them all to have two central london flats and as many tudor style duck houses as they wish for until the next show
The winners can take part in a "winners tour" across Europe joining up with other successful entrants from other countries -they can all have a big jolly, slap each other on the back feel important and popular- it keeps them busy,keeps them out of politics and thus fucking up the country for the rest of us,it also allows the people who wear white slip on trainers and  waste their benefit wage voting on X factor contestants to feel "part of the system"- so win win all round
 In the meantime the section of  hard working common sense  population left that do have a clue how to team up and make things work can get on with sorting a few things out.
It seems some others having been sitting in their sheds thinking along the same lines-admittedly they haven't managed to come up with a way quite as cunning as mine of distracting politicians, but they have decided to team up and argue on the behalf of common sense regarding energy policy- the "common sense" team have called themselves "Powerline" they are made of big businesses wanting to "start applying logic" to the power debate pushing for "dispassionate debate" -they will be launching a website,national advertising and social media campaign- so look out for it and keep your fingers crossed for common sense -in the meantime  I need to sort out some judges for the TV show..

Just to cheer you up here are some pictures of wind farms-the parts of which were not made in this country,and don't ask how many German vans the non-uk based maintenance company bought after bribing the local politician into awarding them the maintenance contract -enjoy them you paid for them.. a lot.. the ones on land- you are paying twice the wholesale rate for the power they may or may not produce it depends if the turbines are spinning- the twelve I saw today were all stationary,strange as I had to wear a jacket due to the wind to keep warm,-maybe that was the problem it was too cold a wind rather than too strong a wind- fickle thing weather isn't it? anyway the ones in the nasty wet stuff that you need to buy scandinavian boats to get to,just to reset a breaker-their power costs you three times the wholesale rate.....common sense really
