Yep. That also goes for this Steve too.

Apart from you can always accompany me to the pub.

Please don't ask the penguins to dance. They're not in the mood today.

We had another mauling incident. They'll probably be more. It is what it is.

I have Marvellous Pet envy as well.

This hour I have learned that the Swedish for hedgehog literally translates as leechcone.

Defo prefer what we call hedgehogs.

Hope you mean your MP and not your marvellous pet. πŸ˜„

Good on him.

I missed a 'me' out in the last post so here is what I just reposted a moment ago to make up for that.

Whatever you need or want to express here that might help, that's okay.

If I didn't have my humour and comedy and satire slants, I wouldn't be able to absorb everything I do. It would've driven bonkers long ago.

Maybe it already has?

I'll admit that I'm stunned at the difference between the reasonable expectation of what any voter for Lab could've expected at national level and how far that is from the reality of what has played out.

Goodnight Dawny xx

[I hit nn instead of xx just then - I think I might need to curl up in my basket right soon]

I mean, look how far apart x and n are on a keyboard.

I'll try and keep it more fact based and relate it to military strategies in this exchange so that you don't feel like it has to be focused on the politics. I don't know if that will really help, but I'll give it a go.

I hear you, Lainy. Initially, use of bases in Britain was denied. If the change in position is because Iran is now attacking UK allies, then it is a false justification because it was widely known that a major attack on Iran would provoke this stated and only response the Iranian leadership had.

There's an enforced code in many countries around the world that going to war unconditionally represents the highest point of leadership bravery. Yet in so many cases, the braver leader chooses not to go to war.

War is the last resort. Most definitely not the first tantrum.

Somewhere out there is a polar bear in sweet otter headgear.

Hello! We have a new episode airing tonight at 11pm and given… y’know…. everything, it feels important to specify that it was taped yesterday, Saturday, which helps explain the otherwise inexplicable ratio of β€œdiscussion of Iran” to β€œdiscussion of Steven Seagal’s hair color.”

We don't have to pick a side in every match.

Sometimes, both sides are very, very wrong.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is one of the dumbest, misused lines there is. Your enemy can be being bludgeoned by someone who when bored or needs another distraction will turn around and do the same to you.

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez puts it better.

With thanks to @nickwolfebrown1.bsky.social, this mind-blowing article from Canada (3rd Apr 2017) relates to my earlier Rayhunter post.

It provides priority focus indicators for other nations, following exposure of major foreign - and domestic - spying on every mobile phone in particular districts.

@the-citizens.bsky.social:

With thanks to @nickwolfebrown1.bsky.social, this is a mind-blowing article from Canada (3rd Apr 2017) directly relating to this post from you on Rayhunter and what it's uncovering. I think it provides where-to-focus indicators for other nations.
