So, there has been a massive explosion in a gas pipeline near St Petersburg. Now one could blame partisans and sabotage... or one could imagine the following conversation happening yesterday....
Two pipeline workers are looking at a pipeline near St. Petersburg.
"I suppose we ought to get a replacement for the boy-who-understands-these-things, Vanya,"
"Why bother, Mitka? he wasn't that bright anyway - stupid durak, didn't even avoid the draft, now he's heading for Ukraine. What could he really do that we couldn't? it's only a gas pipeline, it's like putting water through a hose, only it's gas."
"Sure, Vanya, you're right. Should we use those cheap Chinese knock-off spare parts though?"
"Well, we can't get the real parts from Ukraine, can we? and the boss already sold what we had in store. It's lunch time, I want my cabbage soup. And I'm hoping the boy will bring my wife a washing machine. He can surely manage a washing machine if he can manage a gas pipeline; it's all about piping. And we can manage this whilst we wait for the loot he gets us."
"True enough, tovarisch. What can go wrong?lend me a match while I fit this part, my cigarette has gone out."

I hope Simon is better, and getting better each day.
This light little piece, says to me, you may be a little less stressed. I really hope so. And hope you're not too bad yourself either.
Thanks for this.
the cough medicine is helping him. While the stove is getting used to being used there's the toss up between a bit of smoke and actually being warm - Grzegorz is an efficient little stove though, and rapidly heated the room to 70F yesterday. I'll have the washing in front of it later.
DeleteAnd yes, less stressed; expecting the proofs for 3 books on monday, so every good chance to get two Christmas period ones out by December.
As for this bit of satire, it grew from Simon and me messing about making fun of the orks.
