Christ. I’m not surprised that is staying with you - not something I could shake any time soon. Stuff like that would linger quite badly. Do hope it fades in some way.

Rarely but yes. Anything positive you can get from it? Have to say, for the ones I’ve had, I haven’t.

They tend to be something I’ve experienced and I was happy with the time but the dream introduces something new and unknown that makes it unpleasant.

Just in case you don’t have a copy, I bring good news.

Aside, now there’s a name I’ve not read for a while..

This is literally the “you will be visited by three spirits” post I was waiting for.

"STOP CRYING. We've come all this way to see Santa's corpse and all you do is cry."

I hear you.

3.5 You are Santa and that thought is the one of things that sustains you to keep finding gainful employment. 🫠

Did I mention I've met the trophy? #F1

No idea, I’m afraid. He’s popped off for a while before (his profile got auto-labelled as ‘rude’ or some such oddness) but hoping he’ll make it back.

And attacked RAF Kota Bharu starting the invasion of Malaysia just before Pearl Harbour.

Letter to the Guardian. The protection of badgers has a long pedigree (Report, 29 August). Arthur Gore, known as "Boofy", the eighth Earl of Arran, was a fanatical defender of them. He was also a tireless campaigner for the rights of homosexuals. In 1967 he managed to push through a law in the Lords that decriminalised homosexuality but failed to pass a bill to outlaw the cruel hunting of badgers. When asked why he had not received enough support for his badger bill, he replied: "Not many badgers in the House of Lords." Tony Lywood Keswick, Cumbria

Marvelling at the range of involuntary noises “one” finds “oneself” emitting in middle age:

*Standing up - dying manatee winched from mineshaft
*Sitting down - air escaping from punctured pouffe
*Bending over - concussed bison wrestled into sack
*Sneezing - final roar of once-proud warrior race

😂

That’s interesting the tune could be changed like that. I like the the way you describe the original. In fact, to use the only Swedish word I know - jättebra!
