    Default Got the runs?

    A piece in todays news and we think we have it tough.
    Venezuela is going down the pan at a rate of knots it would appear. The country is running short of food and essentials.
    One lady has said,
    ' For the first time in my life I was unable to buy toilet rolls, it has been this way for almost four months now, what are we to do'?
    She could do what my cat does and slide her undercarriage across the grass.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    It is amazing how a country with such oil wealth ( yet still amazing poverty) can get into this situation. One wonders if the replacement to Hugo will be able to pull it out of the morass, or with through lethargy just let it slide to the enviable throwing of the gov't out by force of the people along with the bloodshed that goes with it, etc, etc? As I understand it the middle class have fled or at least moved on? Maybe Florida (:

    Default morning after......

    Leave off Lads- I'm attempting to finish a late brunch after a few too many Jack & cokes last night and those comments don't help my digestion.

    Emergency shipment even:

    Venezuela has run out of toilet paper and had to get an emergency shipment of 50 Million rolls.

    No one even knew that Mc Donalds had opened any Venezuelan locations.
