Christ! It's all technology again, ain't it? 'Without technology, man, you wouldn't be able to write this blog. Or put your songs on YouTube. Do you want to go back to the old days of sending cassettes in the fucking post?' I haven't put my songs on YouTube yet. And it's got nothing to do with you anyway. I'm just saying that technology is taking over the world now, but where is the soul? 'The soul?!' Yes, the soul. 'Ha!' What? I don't understand you, Voice. I mean, you're just a disembodied voice. A pure spirit from the astral plane, and - 'Not so pure, son. I've been around, you know?' Ha! Yeah, and I've been a-ROUND. Forget about it! Let's do this bloody PR email before I lose all my enthusiasm ...

Well, well ... / I don't even know what they're talking about. 'Sharing cars.' Jesus H. - !!! Well, can't people just share?! Oh, hello, Pete, would you like a lift to work in the morning? What the hell is wrong with that?! I tell you, dear reader(s), the whole world has gone insane! / Okay, okay. There's a lot of this. I'll finish with a quote from Greg -
"We can offer our clients insights that no one else can, thanks to the experience accumulated by powering dozens of services for a number of years, including many electric vehicle (EV) services," explains CEO Greg Duconge. "The combination of our world-class software solution, our unique expertise, our optional hardware designed to enhance the mobility experience and our cutting edge analytics module makes Vulog a one-of-a-kind partner for any operator in this fast-changing market."
Yeah, thanks, Greg. Whatever. I wish you all the best though. 'It would be churlish not to.' Yes.
...
Anything else? Politics? I don't discuss politics. However, Theresa May says she wants to lead the Conservatives into the next election. She doesn't get it, does she? 'Ha! Things will go really well for her, boss, when there's no food on supermarket shelves.' I know, man. Utterly without a clue!
So, uh ... well, that's it, really. For this week, like. Have a nice weekend, crocodile(s)! Later(s)!
