I don’t think I can cope with this!

You just wonder, did we ever change our clothes back then?

We kids had to get out and walk up the steepest parts in case the car didn’t make it or the radiator boiled over (?)

My uncle had a maroon one too. We went over a Lakeland pass in it. Four kids, two adults and a week’s camping equipment. How???

I thought it was Darren Grimes’ latest version of the good old days.

'When I use a word, let’s say “unconditional surrender” ‘ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.'

As is this “When he as commander in chief determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the US and the goals of Operation Epic Fury have been fully realized, then Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender whether they say it themselves or not"

Yes, cease these puny attempts

Punic Wars even. With an n. Obviously.

The war, I mean special operation, is over because I say it is, said Humpty Dumpty.

You never thought to emulate him by stuffing a bunch of gladioli down the back of your trousers?

La-la not listening but it’s the first time I’ve seen him with anything approaching a smile. War must have that effect on some people.

Foamy-necked Floater” is much nicer and more poetical than simply “Floater.” Also it’s from Beowulf.

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

Not sure “limited” is within their control.

And Saharan dust on the newly cleaned windows. Always look on the bright side …

Which one?

The words “insinuating little creep” wafted through my brain during last night’s news.

Again, completely on the ball.

We need one of her sticking out of a tank like Margaret Thatcher.

1/3 I'm writing a book about Nigel Farage for Headline.

Some of his pals are blanking me.

Is it because after I reported on the killing of a Polish man in Essex in 2016, he said that I had caused him "more misery than any other in 25 years in politics"?

Only one day of sunshine at a time is allowed. Wednesday 🌞 so I mowed the three foot tall sodden grass. Thursday, all muscles hurting and pissed down. Friday 🌞 sodden grass is growing again.

Oh yes, there used to be some lovely wars. We always checked with people if it was ok to drop a bomb on them.

As I don’t believe in violent retribution, I suggest consigning them to an oubliette, where they could literally be forgotten.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

Policemen knocking on doors at 3.00 am normally means something awful has happened. That would have been my immediate thought. They should think before causing shocks like this.

Let’s see what the Germans Bild on such a foundation.

We had Diana. My mother had decided that Bunty, Judy etc were printed on inferior paper. Luckily for my sister, Jackie passed the paper test 😁
