General discussion on current situation

I absolutely agree Maiden Stone, but Peanuts on Pub Bars in recent years were coated with Urine & Human Bowel waste when tested.

That's a long-standing myth. When and where was this test carried out?

Well, the Great Leader is coming to address us all at 4 pm BST -   In the Rose Garden 

Still showing his arrogance by keeping us waiting at least 30 minutes.

BBC live online ... that Special Advisor must have got cold feet .... or perhaps his watch has stopped.

It's half past one in the morning here in NSW ...  I hope he quits,  unelected officials ought not become the story.

I've disliked & resisted shaking hands for a long time. I doubt if I'll ever shake hands with anyone again. Just in case I'm in hospital again, I wish to make it clear that if any politician visits, s/he is to approach no nearer than the end of my bed and must on no account shake my hand; I shall keep my hands tucked inside my dressing-gown sleeves.

Why Barnard Castle?

Researching an offshoot of my family tree, the trail led to Barnard Castle in 1700s; from there to a missionary in penal Australia who became a bishop and to a Caribbean slave-owner.

A carefully composed, cleverly conceived, well-delivered apologia... Missed (almost) nothing out. Don't we all feel ashamed of ourselves for doubting that nice Mr C?
Who?
Who wrote it?
When do they get the prize for spinnery?

Isn't it great to hear a true expert at work
