Lord Noel On Moaning

Whatto! Pepys...

People just LOVE to moan don't they?
Moaning about the weather....
Moaning about how it's 'too hot' or 'too cold'...
Moaning about how much 'things have changed'...
...how they're 'not as good as they used to be'...
Moaning about how 'nothing works properly'...
...and how 'everything falls to bits after you've used it a couple of times'.
Moaning how no-one seems to give a shit any more.
But I believe it's just a matter of adopting the right perspective...
...allow me to explain...
There was a time here in the UK not so long ago when many of our roads were at a standtill with slow driven lorries and the forecourts of garages were chockablock with people protesting and moaning about the rising price of fuel...
...and yet today, fuel prices are waaaaaaaaaaay above anything we experienced back then...
...but now nobody cares enough to protest or take a stand against the Oil Companies.
And I think I know why...
It's not that people like to see Oil Companies making huge profits that benefit no-one but the CEO's and shareholders ...
...it's not even because people who live in a country with large oil deposits are keeping their heads down in the hope that America doesn't suddenly spot them and bomb the hell out of them or fund some friendly 'Al qeada' Operatives to overthrow their non puppety Rulers....
No...I believe it's something much more fundamental.
People are finally realised that oil is a truly valuable product that deserves to be priced as high as possible and they have adjusted their perspectives accordingly.
After all...that gallon of fuel is not just some inert substance that they dug up for free from the Earth that we ALL inhabit (so rightly it already belongs to us all) and then used modern highly sophisticated technology to squish it up through a pipe...
No! It's actually Burnable HISTORY!
When you go to a filling station and purchase your litre of rarified oil remember what you are TRULY buying is...
LIQUIDISED DINOSAURS!
Bargain!

Tallyho!
