It sounds about right to me, but I was struck more by the skill with which it was delivered. I moan all the time about everything, but not with so much panache.

There is nothing wrong with my social media history, family or DNA. But getting all that information that the US is asking for altogether is still a bit of a pain. Is there a hotline for paying a bribe instead?

Do they ask for your bank PIN number?

Wyoming? Wynotoming.

You don't have to agree with it to find this a rhetorical tour de force. www.youtube.com/shorts/9fpsL...

My HP printer has just decided one of the non-HP cartridges I have been using for several months is non-compliant, and it won't print any longer.

I am never buying anything from HP again.

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

Illumine, what is low raise and support,
That to the highth of this great argument
I may assert Eternal Providence
And justify the ways of God to Miss Piggy.

I like Terry Pratchett’s take on that. “In the beginning there was nothing. God said let there be light. There was still nothing, but now you could see it.”

I'm a people person. I just haven't met the right people yet.

My relationship goal is a relationship.

Trump seems to have succeeded in reducing migration to the US. It will be interesting to see if the result is as bad for the US economy as economists would predict.

Economists don't have a good track record on predicting things, so we'll have to wait and see.

Is Jaroslav saying we can't issue such a paper?

The wreck of the Medusa with an ironic commentary about US forces being about to sink it.

"Oh no! The Yanks are coming. We're doomed."

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
Unless the Yanks sink you

It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
How come the Yanks didn't sink you?'

For it's cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-hunting for the whale
(If the Yanks don't sink it first.)

"No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. Also being blown up by the Yanks." - Dr Johnson

If we had realised how cheap it was to bribe UKIP politicians, we could probably have raised enough money to get them to stop Brexit.

Any updates on the war between Thailand and Cambodia from FIFA?

In the Winnie the Pooh books, none of the animals are natural prey of Owl. is this a coincidence, or did he eat them?

A Socialist reads the Hobbit Part 15 – The Journey Home The Hobbit works as both Christian allegory and socialist parable because both share similar moral values about justice and fairness. Thorin's deathbed words—valuing "food and cheer and song above hoarded gold"—perfectly summarise socialist principles. Great stories transcend their authors' intentions, allowing readers to find their own meaning.

A Socialist reads the Hobbit Part 15 – The Journey Home

The Hobbit works as both Christian allegory and socialist parable because both share similar moral values about justice and fairness. Thorin's deathbed words—valuing "food and cheer and song above hoarded gold"—perfectly summarise socialist…

Maybe so.

I'm a scientist and I use algebra from time to time - it's also a pleasing diversion. I was doing a quadratic this morning for the fun of it.

This “Woke Mind Virus” thing. Is it something that the right have come up with to fool their less smart followers? Or do they actually believe it?

Has anyone warned Trump that FIFA is very corrupt and associating with them might harm his reputation?
