Friends, acquaintances and fellow wanders…

I never was more happy than to see Bob with a broad beaming smile on his face. He was telling me that your government has done something positive towards the prevention of your economy falling off a cliff. Ribbit!!! And about time too. What is almost as good, it’s the fact that all of your major political parties are in agreement with each other, especially concerning this dreadful fiasco arising from the housing market and the greed of so many within your society today. You see, it is good to talk after all. :-)

So, to all of you doubting Thomas’s out there, stop thinking about your own sorry backsides and start believing in your market once again. Bob once told me that opportunities, the golden types, only arise very occasionally, so don’t go kicking this into touch at a time you can make it shine again. You go running scared again, like those pesky furballs that live around here, then you deserve to see your economy go into meltdown, understood? Ribbit!!!

I also understand that a good many of you, including local councils, and they should have known better, decided to put all of your savings into Icelandic banks. Why?? You know, one woman when asked why she did so, she responded in saying that the Iceland name was one on everyone’s lips. She quite obviously got mixed up and thought that they were referring to the Iceland food supermarket. Ah well, some people will never learn. Croak!!! All the same, it defies commonsense as to why anyone should choose to put money into a foreign resource, especially when they are most likely not to come under the protection offered by British banks. You may disagree, but let’s face it, at least the money placed in the right British bank would still be relatively safe even by today’s standards. Ribbit!!!

I understand that the US Presidential elections are gathering at a faster pace. Let’s hope that Palin doesn’t eventually become the President, otherwise she’ll most likely turn to hunting us frogs, then I’ll well and truly croak it!!!

Once again the Autumn is upon us again, but it doesn’t feel like it. Yes, it’s wet and slightly windy too, but it’s relatively warm out here in the garden. There’s still plenty of food slithering amongst the greenery for myself and my many offspring. Still, it can be difficult at times, even for us frogs, because not all seasons are full of plenty. Croak!!!

Talking of plenty, it does my feelings no good at all, when I hear from Bob that Britain’s pensioners are still living well below the poverty line. Has nobody within your government any shame at all? How can they treat what was the backbone of this country, so badly? All you youngsters most likely don’t feel that you should be thinking of the time when you retire, if and when your government lets you, that is. Let me tell you, if changes aren’t made today, then there will be no hope for when you too, get that certain age in the future. Have I ever been wrong? I know a whole lot more about the way you humans live than you may think. Croak!!!

Since things for you humans are looking up, I want to see a lot more smiling faces from now on, okay? Good! Well, that’s about it for this week, so until next time, bye…

Froggy :-)
