I think that's the template.

As potential miscalculations go, this could have terrible consequences for millions of people.

NEW: Trump wanted an uprising. Instead, tens of thousands are in Tehran’s main square, risking their lives under bombardment, to pledge allegiance to the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

We’re witnessing the greatest miscalculation in US political and military history.

I'm pretty sure there's a thread on LinkedIn about this as I remember reading MR's response to somebody pointing it out.

The main issue for me is that we've had so long to prepare but we just plough on regardless until eventually it's too late.

I don't disagree with any of that (and you clearly know more than me) but my main point is that we haven't really tried, and we've had decades to prepare.

It just strengthens my belief that humankind's self-destruction (and the destruction of so much else) is built into its DNA.

Can you imagine how great this would be?

And how sad it is how possible it was......

Lucky kids. I crave Hainenese chicken rice. Only found a couple of places in the UK that can do a passable version.

It’s just pathetic, as was yesterday’s pitch invasion by both sets of fans.

It seems apt as we pass International Women’s Day that so many of these pathetic men talk about going to war scarcely able to conceal their erections.

That’s great to hear and a lovely antidote to so much else that’s going on in the world.

Me too. The only problem is I told every Scottish friend I have that they would come 5th at best this year because they’re a team in decline and England are on the up. I have been made to eat my words and given up rugby punditry. I clearly know nothing.

As much as England have been so disappointing this #6Nations the fact that 3 teams have a chance of winning it on the final day is fantastic.

Not sure who to be honest but it needs a change.

As in the old All Blacks coach? If so, that could be very interesting.

Brilliant Italy. Deserved win. Dreadful from England with all those resources. I rarely call for coaches to go but I think Borthwick & co need to leave and give this team to somebody else whilst we still have time to prepare for the World Cup. Simply not good enough. #6Nations #England #Rugby

I have one of those as well, having proudly represented them back in 2002/3.

Love it. This one should be quite high profile when it launches so I also look forward to getting some LinkedIn 'advice'....

JULIET RESTAURANT Juliet Restaurant - neighbourhood bistro by Dan Chadwick and The Woolpack Team

And in privileged middle class contrast to my last post, had dinner at Juliet’s in Stroud last night. One of the best meals I’ve had. I can see why The Times gave it 10 out of 10. Excellent food and amazingly attentive staff. If you’re in the area, highly recommend it. www.julietrestaurant.co.uk

Nothing makes be believe less in God and more in the stupidity of humankind than shit like this.

If the God they believe in exists, they’re all going to Hell.

Lots of deep rumbling in the skies above and around our house this morning. Sounds very much like activity at RAF Fairford. Surreal to live in such a beautiful part of the country whilst feeling that death and destruction is being planned nearby.

Just had one of those professional highs when you present a daring new brand strategy & identity to a client that completely disrupts their risk-averse industry & requires some real guts to execute...and they say yes.

A fabulous way to end the week & an antidote to all the crap that's going on.

It's all just very depressing.
