Cloudy but fairly bright day today, continuing chilly with temperatures of 5C. Today, 46 people lost their jobs as a contracting firm went into receivership. They appeared to have done well in previous years, taking over three other businesses in the town.
The tropical cyclones I reported on over the past number of days have all disappeared from the map, which should be a relief to people in northern Australia.
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment
Actor Ian Richardson, who uttered this famous one-liner in the 1990 BBC sitcom "House of Cards" died today at the age of 72. He was a versatile actor, who acquired widespread fame with his role as a Macchiavellian politician Francis Urquhart. Richardson, who died suddenly, also played roles in "Bleak House" and "Gormenghast", to name but a few. I was sorry to learn of his death.

The loss of all those jobs must have come as a terrible shock to those people and their families! What an awful life shattering thing to happen to anyone! I shudder to think of how they are going to cope and find another job. I will pray for them Guido.

I've never heard of that actor you talk of. I might know him if I saw a picture.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of all those people losing their jobs. Was it sudden? Or was there warning? I really feel bad for them.
Have a good night.

I hadn`t heard Ian Richardson had died, he was certainly an excellent actor. He certainly gave the role of Francis Urquhart a sense of menace...unforgettable stuff!
