That’s certainly one way of looking at problems Stan, they do leave long shadows, yet can be eclipsed by even longer ones, I’m in a tizzy now cheers David

It bought him a bit more time Tom, he’s just winging it day to day as far as I can see, the end looks inevitable for him, but if something real big happens in the meantime, who knows? Cheers David

I think we most have big problems in our lives but finding a solution to any of them is more than most can handle. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara

Heya Sara, this one is probably directed at governments under pressure, praying for some big scandal to happen to deflect attention away from them, but same could be said for anyone in an unwanted spotlight, thank you for stopping by, cheers David

I can just imagine Boris Johnson saying, if only something big would happen to get the eye off me, cheers David
