Pretty sad that one of the most viewed items on BBC news today is/was the milkshake shortage at MacD's. Not as if nothing else is happening - whether Paralympic athletes being struck down with Covid, Afghanistan, Scottish public inquiry in Covid, or a hundred other issues.

So another delay in changing from CE to UKCA. Another year. And I can’t see many other countries bothering with it.

True - it was the origin, apparently.

To Improve Promptness - before, so that you get good service.

I’d rather imagine Johnson arriving on distant planets. Mind, if he had to feed himself en route, he’d likely starve after a few days such is his incompetence. But even if he doesn’t starve, at least he would be far, far away.

Not sure exactly who, but I strongly suspect even some members of the same party could do considerably better than the current collection of dissemblers, hoodwinkers, mountebanks or however else you describe them.

There are difficulties to be addressed. Including how recall petitions, by-elections, etc. can be handled. Also, the current principle that an MP doesn't deal with constituents of other constituencies than their own. Not saying moves in that direction wouldn't be a good thing, just hoping that...

I'd like him to go without the opportunity to resign. Not going quite so far as to suggest he have a major heart attack, but circumstances which preclude him having any future role whatsoever, in anything, anywhere. Just disappear never to be heard of again. Please.

They will have to be very Busy Lizzies to shorten the lists.

I couldn't hang around waiting for that image to display...

Since finding the derivation of the phrase "ginger up", I have wondered if it too could improve "conversation" at parties for humans as well as horses?

I intensely dislike the term "cretin" - even within its proper field of medicine. Having been deeply involved in thyroid issues, I think of people who have been appallingly damaged by failure to identify or adequately treat thyroid issues. That is why I left my post using the Epimenidean...
