Pay it Forward…

We live in a s**t world…

Come on – you know it’s true.

It has its moments – little glimmers of light in the endless smog of the daily grind….

Maybe it’s your dog being pleased to see you when you get home? Maybe your children’s happy laughter as they bounce on your bed in the morning…? Maybe it’s a sport that you enjoy – (though not many Manchester United fans will be feeling particularly happy with this season’s performance?)

Whatever the little moments are…you still have to admit… most of life is just hard work – and at the end of it you die… without ever having made much of an impact.

Now what I’m suggesting here is that maybe we just try and get one back on the ‘man’ – get one back on ‘the establishment’…

Let’s upset the world order…

Let’s upset…… Google?

Every week I pay a fee to the Google ‘beast’ for it to push me up the ‘rankings’ to help me advertise my business. The more I pay the higher up the rankings I go…in theory. However due to the excessive d**k shaking that goes on in the Japanese Knotweed market everybody and their mate have set up a knotweed eradication company and everybody and their mate are paying Google a fee to be number one as well…

Hence when I try to regain pole position by increasing my budget…so does everybody else.

Now it occurs to me that the ONLY people benefitting from this are …GOO (F***ING) GLE….

Thousands and thousands of pounds daily, weekly, monthly for some pie in the sky idea of increased revenue…

How’s about…

WE ALL STOP

How’s about we all take the money we would have spent on Google and put it in to a charity?

How’s about we put the money into a worthwhile project? …maybe a local community project that can’t afford to deal with an invasive species?

On a ‘minimum’ week I spend £500 – so £2000 a month.

If ALL the knotweed companies stopped this nonsense for a month I bet we’d have a kitty of £50 thousand quid …

Wouldn’t you rather give that to charity than B L O O D Y   G O O G L E…

….and wouldn’t that make the world seem just a little less sh***y?

Thoughts?

I will if you will…
