I awake, still stunned by the absurdity of the UK voting to leave Europe.
A quick Kipling break:
“WINDS of the World, give answer! They are whimpering to and fro—
And what should they know of England who only England know?—
The poor little street-bred people that vapour and fume and brag,
They are lifting their heads in the stillness to yelp at the English Flag!”
What can I do to relieve my gloom? I know, look at dead fish.
Marlin
I go down to the Toya fish harbor to get my prescription filled.
Big boy Tuna
I mean how stupid can people be? Leave Europe? Even in a Japanese fish market it makes no sense.
I buy an Octopus, which makes me feel better. It is an Octopus. Sometimes they are missing tentacles, which makes them Septopus or even Sexopus.

The Quiet Ripple Defines The Pond 
Neil,
I share your disappointment and sense of bewilderment at the UK voting. The age split is also troubling. Next week will be interesting. I hope it won’t be even more distressing. Who knows what is ahead for Scotland, Northern Ireland and the othe EU countries? And, dear god, I hope that the UK vote doesn’t encourage the supporters of Donald Trump in the US,
Lew

And now we have a right stramash in the UK! The result of years of obeisance to the Gods of the Markets, especially those worshipped in the Square Mile, and an arrogant turning of a deaf ear to any noises from outside the metropolis. At least young Nicola is standing up well.
Incidentally – what happened to Ian’s measured comment? Do the Dirty Diggers tentacles reach into WordPress?
Bad business. Many Japanese are waiting for the Queen to show leadership.
“Incidentally – what happened to Ian’s measured comment? Do the Dirty Diggers tentacles reach into WordPress?”
Your comments are increasingly rune-ish. I need some help with this one. I get the Murdoch reference, is it that? but not the bit about Ian
Ah, those runes. For some reason Ian’s post has disappeared. There’s Lew’s, mine and yours – that’s three but it says there are four. A mystery. Is it something to do with that Pingback thing?
Hi thankss for sharing this
