Holidays are such a drag. Luckily I believe they will soon be banned as we enter the final vulture capitalism death spiral of western society as it tears out its own liver.

My views dropped from a combative 204 the day before, to a shamefaced 62 by the time I peeled my arse off the sunlounger.

And ditch the flip-flops.
