Most months I have trouble coming up with something half intelligent and hopefully entertaining to say in these bulletins. This month is different. World events, the activities of our politicians and the possible impacts here in the Land of Oz leave me with much to talk about, but where to start.

As regular readers of this column will know the managing director and I don't mind a bit of travel, preferably of the comfortable variety. As such I write this month's missive from the Matild Palace hotel in Budapest, as one does. The hotel is every bit as pleasant as the name suggests and I find myself ensconced in the breakfast room, looking out over a winter wonderland of historic buildings and snow.

I write this month's reflections having just boarded a river cruise in Europe. Yes, I am that old! The managing director couldn't face another hot and humid Christmas in Oz so here we are. If she utters one word of complaint about the cold, I swear she's going for a swim in the Danube.

This time of year, my habit is to publish a few observations regarding the year just passed. I usually intersperse these pithy remarks with some crystal ball gazing and a dose of scepticism for good measure. Not this year my friends.

The Last Laugh

I find modern society highly amusing. I think it's because I take some twisted pleasure in observing demonstrable stupidity. I have developed this aspect of my personality to avoid the temptation to grab a bottle of gin, a sharp implement and a warm bath. Better to have a giggle and live another day I reckon. Call it a personal philosophy, a Zen like state, an attempt to avoid my karma running over your dogma.

I recently did something dumb. Well, to be honest I am constantly doing dumb things but let's focus on one particular event. I was on Facebook, which is dumb step number 1. I was death scrolling, so let us call that Dumb Part 2. An investment opportunity ad popped up and……you guessed it, Part 3.

As some of you may have observed over the years, I have a tendency to see the glass not just half empty, but cracked, with a fly in it, and ready for the bin. I am quantitively pessimistic. That is, I am miserable, and I have the numbers to prove it.

Back when I was a young fella, just after the invention of electricity and the horseless carriage, the search for a partner was pretty simple. Come Friday arvo we’d rush home from work, grab a quick shower, splash on some Brut 33, put on our most alluring attire and drive back to the pub.
