| November 2 2001 Friday When I was picking up my newspapers for my paper round this morning I noticed on the front cover of the latest 'Hello' that inside was an article about the day Geri Halliwell found a lump on her breast. It was probably Chris Evans. Got home to find that I'd finally had a reply to the letter I wrote to Tony Blair in March outlining the Mole Plan. Briefly the plan is that people should retire and draw a pension the moment they leave school, when they're young and healthy enough to enjoy their retirement, then, at the age of thirty, they should start work, and work until they die. This seems to me to be a lot cooler than the present system whereby people don't get a pension until they're too old and shagged out to enjoy it. Personally I think that our P.M. is as big a tosspot as the next man - unless the next man is John Prescott, then he would be nowhere near as big a tosspot - but he didn't kick off when his under-aged son went out on the piss and gets rat-arsed, so he can't be all bad. All right, he's got a warped taste in women - given the choice most people would go for someone who looks like a member of the Corr Family, not the Addams family, but there's no accounting for taste. The reply to my letter was from some civil servant, who said that the Prime Minister had recieved my letter and will consider my suggestion. He's taking his bloody time, that's all I can say! March? Anyway, I think that if the P.M. were to see a bit of support from a few other people for the Mole Plan it might help him to make up his mind in the affirmative, so I urge any of you out there in cyberspace who considers the Mole Plan to be just what this country needs to write to Number Ten and tell him so - but don't expect an answer for about six months! |
