Thanks mate. Not so much personal desperation, rather the global gloom that overwhelms everybody that keep up with current events

From where I stand, there shurely seems to be not much hope left…

Please, please, please, whatever the system, make it start again in March. Stop this December-January nonsense and revert back to the start of the year on the glorious month of the God of War
