Loads of people, not just Gen Z, struggle with office printers and the like (Iâm firmly in the avoid work printers camp), and plenty of employees click random pop-ups, regardless of age and work experience, just ask any IT service desk.
I was a big fan of the 80s Dungeon and Dragons cartoon, but who is paying nearly ÂŁ30 for action figures?

I might not have the advantage of being the shortest-lived PM ever, but I think if I had to defend why my flagship economic policy failed I wouldnt use ‘I didn’t know how the markets worked’ as my excuse.

Fight the good fight
#Krayston felt their head slamming against a wall. The woozy swaying and lapse in concentration were common effects of the BTG drive dropping a spaceship, with several hundred battle-ready soldiers, on the edge of an alien solar system, but this was the first time Krayston had experienced it. It hurt.
âTroops, we have arrived in Sector T163G.â, blared the tannoy, âWe will enter orbit around the fith planet in 59 minutes. Prepare for ground assault.â
There was no time for silence to hang in the air, before another voice bellowed.
âYou heard the instructions.', the troop commanderâs voice, and broad shoulders, did not allow for other opinions, âGet your gear, and get into position. Now!â
++++
20 Minutes later, Krayston stood in the drop bay with their eyes boring holes in the ship’s hull. A voice to their left made their eyebrow twitch.
âFirst fight rookie?â said a grizzly voice.
âFinished my basic training 10 minutes before the ship took off.â, Kraystonâs eyes stayed focused on the hull.
âAinât that a thing! Weâll be taking them straight from the womb next.â
From the front end of the bay came the unmistakable roar of the troop commander, âKeep your mouths closed back there. The only thing you should be doing is deciding how many 63 Gees youâre going to kill.â
Krayston stiffened, the grizzled voice carried on talking.
âWhat’s he going to do rookie? Tell us we canât go and fight today for being naughty?â
Krayston allowed a slight smile to form on their lips.
âYou been fighting long, old-timer?â
âThe rookie can talk! Iâve been fighting so long, when I started the 63Gs were on our side.â
That wasn’t right
âWhat do you mean, âon our sideâ?â
The tannoy spoke again, â10 Minutes till orbit.â
Across the ship, in each hanger, buckles were tightened, stances were adjusted, and breathing was sharpened.
âWhat made you sign up rookie?â, asked the grizzled voice with genuine interest.
âDefending the Earth.â, Krayston left a slight pause, âIâm from Upper Scotland, not many opportunities to do anything else.â
âAnd when you joined up, who were we fighting?â
âThe 63Gs.â
âAnd when you were at school, who were we fighting?â
âThe 63Gs.â, Krayston said firmly.
âOh, they got you good rookie.â
Krayston looked left at the grizzled voice. Piercing blue eyes, surrounded by a map of scars and wrinkles, met their gaze.
âWeâve always been at war with the 63Gs.â
âHave we now?â
âQuiet up front!â
The crunching footsteps of the troop commander were approaching.
âYou think back to being a kid, rookie.â, the grizzled voice spoke faster the closer the footsteps came, âForget your basic training and think.â
âThat’s enough Sanjev!â, the troop commander was so close Krayston shuddered.
âSorry Commander. I was just helping the rookie here remember who weâre fighting.â
âListen sharp you two!â, the commanderâs eyes moved from one to other, âItâs not who youâre fighting against, itâs who youâre fighting for! Earth! Do you understand?â
âYes sir!â, said the soldiers in unison.
âEarth tells us who to fight and why, understand?â
âYes sir!â, said the soldiers in unison.
âAnd if Earth tells me to fight my own grandmother, my only questions are âWhere is she?â and âWhen do I start?â. Do you understand?â
âYes sir!â, said the soldiers in unison.
++++
When they ran onto the planetâs surface, Kraystonâs first thought was how quiet it was. Then a siren screeched and the battle unleashed. The 63Gs moved fast, having six legs had advantages, and Krayston struggled to move in the heavy gravity and spongy soil.
Basic training hadn’t spent much time on how to fight in heavy gravity and spongy soil, instead it spent the days stamping into the cadets the need to defeat the 63Gs. The same message Krayston had been told daily at school, and saw on the news reports at home.
Soldiers fired ballistics across the landscape. In reply the 63Gs filled the atmosphere with sonic bombs. One thrust of air knocked Krayston to the ground, leaving him breathless and struggling to stand.
The old soldier had told Krayston to think back to their childhood. School began every morning with Earth Pledge, then the numeracy and literacy classes, before finishing with history. A chronological explanation of Earthâs expansion to the stars; including meeting aliens, making alliances, and defending Earthâs interests.
The 54s were allies, the 63Gs were enemies. The 54s were allies, they gave Earth the map of the stars. The 63Gs destroyed the 54s in retaliation. The 63Gs wanted to wipe out Earth next.
Krayston wriggled onto their knees and filled their lungs with air.
The 63Gs met Earth first and gave us the map of the stars. They were fighting the 54s and asked for our help. Together every 54 planet was left barren. Then the 63Gs turned on Earth.
The after-effects of the sonic bomb ricocheted through Kraystonâs mind, blurring the memories. Versions of history meshed together; but which was the truth, and did it matter?
âMy only questions are âWhere is she?â and âWhen do I start?ââ
Krayston held on to what was important. Earth said who to fight, and why. Earth was to be defended. They stood tall, and joined the good fight.
You really can’t rely on Spurs for anything. â˝ď¸
A frosty start to the morning.

Well, could have been a worse result. â˝ď¸
