WE'Re awash with ABBA mania at the moment. Their records are being re-issued. A blockbuster film is raking it in - 'Mama Mia' - and all is well with the ABBA money making machine. Makes you want to walk the streets singing the immortal words: "Monet, Monet, Monet. Must be funny. In the rich man's world. Monet, Monet, Monet. Always sunny. In the rich man's world."

Some of our more observant readers will be saying to themselves. "You don't spell 'Money' like that! 'Monet' was a painter. A famous artist." And, dear reader, you would be right, but I wrote Monet and I mean Monet.

I'VE got a bee in my bonnet and it’s got to come out! Our rulers have come up with a new way to get everybody back into work. Seems that anybody who has been signed off as being incapable of work will soon be made to earn their keep because the rulers (of whatever political colour) will find work for them under the assumption that everybody is capable of something.

MANY years ago I was in a bar in downtown Marseilles in the south of France. In those days parts of Marseilles were places of lawlessness, danger and excitement.
