When you're a pessimist, even when you're right it's depressing
An exchange in the comments over at Harry's Place:
"When Peter Cuthbertson and I were at the House of Commons last week for PMQ, I commented on how flimsy the Christmas tree is. He responded that he was surprised they were still allowed to put one up, and that in a few years they might not be. I poured scorn on this, but who knows?" - Jackie D
"On Christmas trees, I've heard that the Christmas Tree in Trafalgar square is 'due for review' in the next few years as well. It doesn't chime with the 'inclusiveness' of the new pedestrianised side." - Matthew
It's surprisingly easy to let out a full sigh while grinding one's teeth, isn't it?
