Good policy on opening up the Straits of Hormunculus though.

It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Anything to avoid waking up in Lanarkshire.

There's the 2340 Caley sleeper due in from Euston at 0730 tomorrow morning too. I suspect that might terminate at Motherwell now.

A classic ruse to have a national costume that makes you look like grenadiers.

A black and white drawing of a Welsh woman in traditional costume holding a pitchfork with a tag of trouser material on one of the points. She is gesturing to two captured French soldiers, one of whom is clasping the ragged remains of the seat of his trousers. Her sheepdog is at her feet.

Jemima Fawr was a farmer in Pembrokeshire who rounded up 12 French soldiers using only a pitchfork and righteous Welsh indignation during the 1797 French invasion of Fishguard.

Happy International Women's Day. May your pitchforks be sharp, your indignation righteous and your Frenchmen rounded up.

The US is trying to make up for being late to two world wars by being really early for the next one.

Particularly bold bullshit from Trump here, considering that I drove past one of these two aircraft carriers this morning, in dry dock at Rosyth Royal Dockyard...

You know things have gone wrong when the referee is actively laughing at you.

What's the French for "GET IT UP YE"?

If only they'd painted it in dazzle.

Extract: "The prospect that 'the Torygraph' as it has been dubbed could soon be in the hands of German owners for the first time in its 168-year history will send shockwaves through the ranks of conservative power brokers in Westminster"

Soon to be the Torygraf

Having gone to a grammar on Kent the mixture of entitlement and elitism within the grammar against the utter abandonment of those in the sec mod across town made me hate the system.

Urgh this kind of thing is my bite noir.

As ever, Alt Text: a half page in what looks like a very old book with the works Great Dogge in old typeface. There are columns of numbers beneath these words.

Joe and Joe's Big Dog Theory goes back further than we thought.

I really hope the form includes a box for them to enter their NI number.

Alt text: a map of the Black Sea and Caucasus area, with lots of planes being tracked. They're pretty much all headed over Georgia.

Just logging on for my first day as an air traffic controller in Tbilisi, can't wait to really get stuck in to this job.

It's all the rain

Schrödinger's Pat-riot

Dagda or Cloisters for a chill beer, depending on desired cuisine I'd recommend Kebab Mahal, Ting Thai Caravan, One Plate or Ong Gie.

The bridge of an oil tanker. It has "No Smoking. Safety First" painted across it. The tanker is actively disregarding this rule, and is smoking quite a lot.

Come on guys, what's Rule One of Tanker Club?

Badenoch essentially continuing her Garth Merenghi tribute act here.

"I know a lot of politicians who use racist dog whistles and they're all cowards."

Monday.

Bad news for Wells-Next-The-Arabian-Sea too.

"Well, I thought that visit went well, did you get some good photos of me for the press?"

"Sure did boss, photos of you looking mean and superior in a severe all black get-up, striding through a grim brick-built camp. Real powerful. Very symbolic."

We're going to need a bigger FIFA Peace Prize.

Given an infinite amount of time and an infinite number of cursed monkey paws Labour might one day make a statement that is actually left wing.
