    All you need is a red golf hat.....saying.....make America great again.....it acts like Superman changing in a flash to Gods gift to the universe.

    I want to know why his henchmen aren't wearing supertrump hats.....or would that mean they would be as good as him......they've probably got more marbles between their ears than he has....no it's the hat that does it.

    We all know Trump is a moron already so anything he does is bound to be more stupid than the last. Actually I don't disagree with taking out Iran's nucleur aims either like you notdistant so it isn't the what it's the how. It's his complete non Presidential way of acting that makes him look wrong even if he isn't for once. It's not about the nucleur capabilities of Iran that he acted on it's a show of look at me I'm very powerful that he wants to get across. His whole Presidency is going to be about him rather than whats good for the USA. Oh for a JFK moment..........

    Yes, no more heroes anymore..... JFK, an aristocrat, Harvard educated, playboy...... decorated war hero, Pulitzer prize winner and youngest ever President.

    From 1997 but how fitting the words are now.



    Did you know my other half spoke to Nelson Mandela back in 2000......? That's not her in blue.....

    JFK had happy birthday sung to him by Monroe.....but there was more than happy birthday happening between them.....and Jackie told him to stop.

    PS.....That lady in blue looks rather formidable.....a sort of Maggie Thatcher but with a definate weight advantage.

    An interim report, apparently from the Pentagon, has been leaked saying that the bombing raids on Iran’s nuclear facilities have done only modest damage. It suggests they’ve only set the programme back by “a couple of months”.

    Trump’s reaction - his standard “Fake News” - shows the paucity of his intellect.

    Those that worship him will no doubt accept it but for others, obvious questions arise.

    Did this report not come from the Pentagon? Is it not an official statement of the Pentagon’s views, albeit that it shouldn’t have been released to the media? Does Trump somehow have information the Pentagon doesn’t which makes the report wrong?

    Finally, if the answer to all those questions is no, in what way is it Fake News?

    If these sites had enriched uranium.....and they have been obliterated (Trumps words).then why haven't we heard of any nuclear fall out from the aftermath ?

    Did Iran move their stock away before the attack and have it stored elsewhere....in some Bedouins tent out in the desert with a couple of camels on full alert.

    Does this not bring back memories of Blair and Iraq and the search for Saddam's hidden stocks.....but in this case the stock is real....or is it ?

    Why are we not getting on top of the illegal migrants coming across the channel......Maybe they have noticed what a soft touch we Brits are.....that is why they are queuing up waste deep in the sea waiting for the next dingy taxi to come along.....the French Police cannot enter the water....only if someone looks like they're drowning.

    Maybe they have heard about those that have gone before them....housed in taxpayer-funded hotels...supported with meals and services....and able to access work illegally through...Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat as couriers.......people with the correct paper work set up accounts with the delivery firms and then sell them on to asylum seekers.....Migrants paying as little as £40 a week for login details can make hundreds of pounds in that time using taxpayer-funded hotels as a base for bikes, bags and uniforms.

    Asylum seekers are not allowed to work for at least a year when waiting for claims to be processed.....even those with permits cannot act as delivery drivers under the Home Office rules.....So why is it so hard for the Government not to catch these people ...confiscate their bikes etc and return them from where they came from.

    What is it with cars and women.

    Just spent 45mins doing a 5min journey.

    In slow moving traffic a women has managed to put her electric car on it's roof....one ambulance and four Fire Engines in attendance.....concern I hear about her Electric car bursting into flames.....it's just by road works and four way traffic lights.....there is just no way you can do more than 5 MPH how has she done it........there is bound to be a third occurance......they suppose to go in threes if I remember correctly.
    I'm in the second floor Costa 's in Tesco's overlooking the traffic chaos outside.

    Traffic a lot lighter now....so I returned that way ....just a couple of Policemen directing the traffic and two fire fighters present.....could see the car more clearly now....I couldn't decide the make....it was grey....and its roof was badly crushed and the bonnet area was missing.....and down its near-side (upside down remember) it was badly scraped the full length.....there must of been another vehicle involved but there was no sign of that vehicle.....it gave you the impression that it had been crushed against a brick wall and dropped from a great height.....the women who before had been sitting in a ambulance wheel chair was obviously in hospital.....she couldn't of been seriously injured being in the wheel chair....will have to try and get hold of a News shopper paper this Thursday.....how did the car become a right-off at such a low speed.

    Don’t say that. She’s taken ours out for a service and has been given a very expensive courtesy car. What could possibly go wrong…..?

    They've been on the phone, just started the service and have noticed we have a dustcap missing off one of the rear tyres. That's down at KwikFit for sure as we had new rear brake pads done last week and the rear tyres chcked.

    Would I like it replaced for £17.50? That's the ones that are £0.99 at Halfords.....

    Ah well it turns out it's not that simple but they should have got someone who knew what they were talking about to call me. It's not a dust-cap on the tyre, it's the dust cover on the rear brake calliper, one of which wasn't replaced by KwikFit when the fitted the new brake pads.

    So it's going back down to them to rectify tomorrow.

    Now, I came on to ask you a question.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9x80g1jgxo

    What is this prat doing pontificating on nuclear bomb tests that took place over 70 years ago?

    You were a Government minister once Burnham but you gave that up and now your job is merely to get the bins emptied. Get on with that. We don't want to hear your views on this or indeed foreign affairs, which you wont to spout on, or macro-economics or the war in the Middle East or a retrospective view of the politics of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Just not your job mate.

    N Korea has opened its first beach resort at Wonsan Kalma....it can take 20,000 domestic tourists....no talk yet of allowing foreign tourists to come......so don't be too disappointed if you cannot at present start to form an orderly queue to have a visit.
