Narcissistic or Sycophantic?

The Leader newspaper, here on the Costa Blanca, published this week, includes the following article:

Making Indiviuals Matter.

When party politics take over the news, it´s often a time we forget the individuals. Individuals like Stefan Pokroppa, who has served out community for 4 years now, being the single point of liaison between the international community and the Orihuela council.

Having been instrumental in arranging many events for local people, as well as helping lots of individual cases where people have sought help, sometimes desperate, Stefan has always been there, often without credit and never seeking praise, just a man, doing his best, for the sake of everyone he comes across.

Not forgetting that Stefan is in fact German, capable of speaking numerous languages, it is no mean feat what he has achieved. So, as well as thinking party politics, let us also remember that behind every political group are individuals like Stefan, without doubt, one of the most instrumental figures of the PP on the Orihuela Costa.

Once I stopped laughing; I wondered who wrote this. I know it is accredited to Mark Nolan but I have to wonder if in fact it is a case of narcissistic creative writing by Stefan P issued as a press release! If this is not the case, and was originated by Mark N, then, it seems to me to be a sycophantic semi-fictional synopsis.

Let us not forget that Stefan Pokroppa has been doing such a wonderful job in his very well paid position, appointed on the personal whim of the PP Mayoress, Monica Lorente, and paid for from Council funds; that she felt the need to create a new appointment of a press officer, Louise Clarke, in the Orihuela Costa Town Hall to inform the residents about the PP. It seems to me that the Mayoress didn´t think Stefan was, and isn´t, very good at liaising with the international community of Orihuela Costa.

There isn´t any mention in the article that having first been included in the PP electoral list as a potential for Councillor, after the May 22nd elections, he was ommitted from the final list. It seems the PP don´t think he has done such a wonderful job. Surely the PP would think that such a fantastic person as he would be ideal for the potential role of Councillor for Orihuela Costa; as he is so liked by the international community for the work he (hasn´t) done. It is a pity for him that the majority of the community are not aware of their admiration for him.

I wonder if the article might not be a premonition of an obituary for his career with the PP after May 22nd.

You´ll turn to God

Pat Condell´s latest video entitled "You´ll turn to God". I can´t agree with all his points of view in his many videos, but in the majority of times he is on the button.

He refers to "Pascal´s Wager" so if like me you need clarification on this here is a link to an explaination on Wikipedia.

Irritable bowel syndrome: Common gastrointestinal disorder linked to bacterial overgrowth, food poisoning

Researchers have reported two advances in the understanding of irritable bowel syndrome, the most common gastrointestinal disorder in the United States, affecting an estimated 30 million people. One study provides further evidence that IBS is linked to an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut. In a separate study, a mathematical model reveals the disease's link to food poisoning and shows that military personnel are at a much higher risk for the disorder than the rest of the population.

Although the research is US based it´s interesting for all those affected by IBS.
