    Anon 10:34 - love to hear the anger in your voice.

    Mark, keep up the solid work you're doing here. I think you are saving this blog from turning into yet another cheap anti-regime propaganda.

      it's not at all anger that you're hearing. it's derision and scorn for the pathetic attempts to portray routine construction as something of significance.
