Trump’s tariffs have - so far, over the last two months since he announced this idea - meant most people will need to work an extra year to afford retirement.

Is that simple enough?

A year ago I’d vow to stop talking to strangers online. We were taught as kids to not talk to strangers.

And what impact did they have on life? None.

But now it seems a stranger is negatively impacting my life and I have no influence stopping it.

Unless I talk to strangers.

Donald F Trump.

You can surrender to your God. But you can’t surrender to a(n orange) man.

Not dismissing his offence and disrespect and enabling danger , we should still take everything Trump says with a pinch of bleach.

Wherever possible, I’m stop buying American.

It’s a good job my favourite band is Canadian!

Nothing “global” about Labour ceding to public pay blackmail.

Phil Easton (RIP) is what this station said to me in the 1980s. I’m too old to care now

If there is a God then why didn’t they invent Baileys with Vodka?

Because tomorrow morning I’ll be blaming Lucifer for that one

England thought it ruled the world thanks to colonialism.

Now America thinks it rules the world because it shouts loudest over social media.

Can the Uk put a 20% tariff on the US importing our language?

Yeah but Corbyn is a minority of 5 in Parliament

Rush. Not just for Christmas.

It’s the parents’ fault for letting them watch too much tv…

Well I don’t want the council to waste thirteen million quid on a walk on planks. The pier is a lovely focal point for the town but its future has to be dependent on it being affordable.

I hate the word “equal.” Have always used “appropriate” in these scenarios.

I have the Jack White record. It is very good.

But most readers won’t get to the top 5 as they have no attention span these days.

Where was I?

The employed brain: “Just 2 midweek days off for Christmas this year. New Year is even worse.”

The self-employed brain. “So, just to get over the next fortnight before a fortnight off.”

Mariah Carey apparently calls her fans her “lambs.”

Is this because all she wants for Christmas is ewe?

Hypocritical musicians complaining about Spotify, Apple and Amazon Music because punters don’t buy their records any more.

As they put aside their Kindle because the next episode of their favourite show has just dropped on Netflix.

Amnesty accuses Israel of genocide.

Israel of course has the right to sue for defamation if they can prove it is a slur.

Wow. The number of Black Friday e mails would make even the biggest recluse in the world feel popular.

All deleted. E-mails not recluses.

Is it too expensive to watch live football on tv? In the UK?

Enjoying the free BBC Radio 5 live commentary whilst I have a glass of wine and do chores.

Incompetent finance companies mean my dog ain’t getting a second walk in daylight today.

I might give you a call in spring. When it’s warmer for you :)

Octopus Energy (my supplier) tells me I can’t have heat pumps. You’d think the bigger the house the more savings (environmentally and financially) you’d get in the long run.

Living with teenagers doesn’t half ruin your appreciation of music.

“There is a light that never goes out” by the Smiths used to be one of my favourite songs.

These days it’s just every room in the house.

It’s called X.
