ARGUABLY A BUREACRATIC DOWNGRADE ON TREVALLYN IN A PLAYGROUND

The story goes that a child playing in the park's new playground experienced a 'downhill ball escape' and they chased it as children do. Unwittingly as children are prone to do at times like this they chased their ball across the street – as children do. An adult came driving along and not paying close attention as adults some do.... WELL IT WAS ALARMING!

To cut a long story short there was a 'near miss' and quite probably accusations flew back and forth. The adult said do n ot blame me. Bureaucrats, as bureaucrats are prone to do, rushed to judgement and did something. As bureaucrats are prone to do when blame looks like falling upon them, they do something, almost anything, to divert blame. Then they did something, and quickly, as bureaucrats are prone to do when it looks like blame will fall upon them. 

Bureaucrats, unable as they are to do much of anything really , actually did something by themselves, of their own bat, and well away from the public glare. Except by exerting their misplaced power, as they are prone to do, they are typically 'able' do something and do nothing instead. But here they did the only thing a bunch of bureaucrats are prone to do they shifted blame and got someone else to do something. Someone else to absorb the blame if it should fall their way.

Trouble is they were not sure what to do. Trouble is they needed to be paid. Trouble is they needed to do something in order to be paid. Trouble is they need to look like they knew what needed to be done. Trouble is they lacked design sensitivity. Trouble is the built a cage because they thought would do. Trouble is they didn't know the stories that were looking to be told.  Trouble something has been missed, and lost. Trouble is it cost twice. Trouble is it needn't have. Trouble ... trouble is ... trouble is

NIAL's RUBBISHpoetry

When they tell you its past it's use-by-date have a think. When they tell you its not fashionable anymore worry about the planet. When they tell you that all you can do is scrap it, wonder out loud. When they tell you its ugly think why. When they tell you its rubbish look at who is telling you this. When they tell you it is useless care about waste. When they tell you that it will not be liked as, who says. When they tell you it will not work, give it a go. When they say don't do it, go ahead anyway.... Mostly they are wrong, wrong, wrong .....
