Wednesday review
Just a thought or two.
Whilst reading the news of the week (Brexit aside), Earthquakes, airing one´s dirty washing in public, being stung by wasps, bees or the Banks. Then there was the big “crystal ball question” about exchange rates GBP/Euro! You must remember, if a fortune-teller could foretell the future of finance
you´d have reached a happy medium.
Incidentally, Why do you need to make an appointment with a psychic?
Anyway, April fool´s day came & went, Many little jolly japes on the forum & in the UK press. I only fell for one!….. The story about Uber, introducing into it´s app, the pogo-stick! There again, I´m sometimes gullible. Now there´s a word in common usage, which appears in no dictionary whatsoever!
Jim´s tall story about a cup of tea was hard to swallow.
Our next pranks-chance (in Spain) will be December 28th, Dia de los Santos Inocentes.
Anyway, back to my thoughts. I was sitting in the sunshine (at last) thinking about time, money etc. & was reflecting on how often the terms Million(s), billion(s) etc are used in the press with regard to Deficits, contributions (to EU for example) or even brain cells.
Do we all realize, (if nothing better to do), that if we started counting in seconds, it would take about 11 ½ days to get to a million.
Then if you wanted to get to a billion, now that´s around 32 years. (big difference!)
Now a trillion! that´s about 32,000 years.
Just a thought. I must get on. The girlfriend asked me what I was doing today. I said, “nothing”.
She said, “But you did nothing yesterday!”
I said, “Yes, I know, I hadn´t finished.”
Enjoy the rest of the week all. & remember the Brexit bus.
