While waiting in the shoe shop for Mrs GG I was thinking about Starmer – not only the worst PM in history but one who has collected a great many nicknames;
- Tool
- Spanner
- Sir Kweer Starmer
- Never here Kier
- Free gear Keir
- Two tier Kier
- Starmer farmer harmer
and no doubt a few more – none of them flattering
Talking of shopping (which I hate with a vengeance) how do women manage to lose themselves for yonks as soon as they enter?
One time in Morrison s she was so long I got a parking ticket. I had seen no parking limit signs and, as always, I ignore such charges from private parking firms. No comebacks so far! Maybe we can forgive her as she is a forriner from a poor country.
Had an email from the BBC seeking views on their future. My response was ‘Shut it down it is simply the propaganda arm of the Government.’ I was quite pleased to receive a response thanking me for my contribution to the discussion.
Not sure if President Trump is doing some wobbling c.f Ist Term but there is no denying his empathy and the way he is at ease with all comers. The video of the little Downs girl at the awards ceremony really struck home. The kicker came when she said her dad had died!
Not that I watch any tv crap but I gather from the comments that I don’t read that one of the main things they try is the ‘Gotcha’ tactic. How fecking pathetic.
This is not a book review but I have just read three novels by Irish author Caimh McDonnell, courtesy of my Kindle Unlimited subscription, someone I had never come across before.
If you want a good giggle verging on the guffaw level he is your man.
Only the Irish could call a series ‘The Dublin Trilogy’ of which I have seen reference to books 4 and 5 and there are more!
He has written numerous other books and I will probably read them all since they should be covered by my unlimited deal.
I consider myself to be mostly Irish (my dad was from ‘norn iron) and I like to dance, to sing, to blether away at time,to drink and chase the ladies (not necessarily in that order!)
My dear first wife was a Southern Irish culchie and she had the accent. One day she proclaimed ‘GG, I’m fierce hungry, me stomach thinks me throat’s cut!
In Portsmouth and here, and presumably all places in the UK, I am aghast to see ranks of electric scooters provided by the council.
Don’t know how, or if, users pay to ride but what a shocking waste of taxpayers money and a danger to all and sundry. Was not someone killed in a collision recently and lots have spontaneously combusted. In the flat I rented in France at one time one was parked in the bottom hallway – I complained to the landlord but sod all happened and I left there shortly after.
