Island discrimination
Posted: Friday, 04 May 2007 |
Now that we have the political unpleasantness out of the way how about a few subjects for discussion.
Why is it that everything I buy costs upwards of 20% more than my Aunt Aggie can get it for in Glasgy, and almost 30% more than my cousin Shelagh can get it for in the south.
Not that my Aunt Aggie is after buying engine parts and the like, but you know what I mean.
Its discrimination at its best and worst.
The heavier "it" is the more the discrimination, so if we were going to ship Shelagh anywheres, we would need a lottery win for sure.
You remember the lamb stew and dumplings?, well Shelagh knows just how good dumplings are for sure. Shelagh looks in a mirror and she knows all about Weight Watchers. I love her and she loves me, I wouldnt change her nor her me, and if you were ever going to cuddle a lady then Shelagh's your girl, theres lots to cuddle there.
Consider this if you will - if you bought something and you carried it in a suitcase or a box with a handle on it as luggage, then providing two of you could lift it, it wouldnt cost you anything extra.
If you send "it" whatever "it" is on its own, then it will cost you an arm and a leg.
Second topic is Red Diesel, why are we still under threat from the "Johnny Foreigners" to stop our Red Diesel supplies.
If this isnt another reason to cast off from the rest of mainland Europe I dont know what is.
Mind your own business is my advice to the rest of them.
What price ferry tickets, fish and lamb stew then eh? go on answer that one!!
Lastly business enterprise. Out here there isnt any. Two words that do not sit together even when forced to by others.
The reason I bring this up is, the idea of a sauna suite and massage rooms in a tin shed, sorry Jill, a luxory appartment block, sea facing, with a mountain backdrop.
HIE and cne-siar fell off their collective chairs and called the Police when I asked the question. They thought it was a drop dead bad idea for a seedy ..... you know what.
So much for Business Enterprise. ......... or is it - my next idea was something to do with my old potato peelings and an old boy from County Wexford was telling me that they make a wonderful after dinner Aperitif out there and it has some marvelous medicinal actions.
Sounds good to me boys and girls - what do you think
