I reckon I am not the only one who is stressed, tired, frustrated by a lack of visible results and feeling like ... thanks to clicking on the original thread the Anti-Christmas Fairy came to perch on their shoulder.
But I'm feeling a bit lighter now (not least cos I just blubbed like a baby when I "broke" my son's computer even more, when trying to put it right) cos I've just made a post on that other thread. It reminded me that if I still lived in Thailand, I know full well I'd never be brave enough to challenge the system and demand it hold one of its own accountable.
We get to do all that we have done, as knackering, frustrating and unfun as it is, without fear of being put on a black list, bundled off by secret services, or shot. All this we are safe from, despite some grave and terrible many tenticled conspiracies running riot in parts of the public sector 
.
The moral of the tale being, it's crap that it is so fecking hard to get anyway wih this, but it could be crapper. It could be hard AND dangerous.
Where was I? I'm sure I had a point somewhere ...
Right, yes, After I posted on the pther thread I realised I was grateful for something else too.
You lot. (bar a notable excpetion)
Nest of vipers my arse.
I luffs you.
And I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas right now, just in case the thread or the context of the thread disperses us before I get another chance to say it.
