Niedergang

It’s definitely the spirit of 1945 all over again. Chancellor Merkel is squatting in her bunker, trying to prevent a British holiday invasion of the Continent.
    Meanwhile, British tourists are being welcomed by southern European nations, which are desperate for liberation from poverty and the dead hand of German control of the EU.

Depressing through

After Tuesday’s triumph, and bearing in mind past form, the football team of England has to resign itself to not beating Germany again in a major tournament until 2076!

Missed the boat

I have come across references to the ITV lunchtime news in some old notes and I started wondering why I don’t watch it now. The answer turned out to be quite simple.
    I have lunch at 1 p.m., which is when the BBC 1 lunchtime news is on. ITV’s news doesn't start until half-past due to an outbreak of loose women.

just there

I see the Daily Mail’s TV guy has got the BBC news line at the bottom of the News Channel’s screen sussed. It’s so small because they’re not bothered about making it legible.
    Probably because the stuff on offer is mundane and worthless. GB News and Al Jazeera, in contrast, offer a ticker that’s legible because it has information value, especially the AlJaz one.

Total Kill Zone!

Reading From Potter’s Field by Patricia Cornwell has told me how serial killers prosper in the US. The FBI and police forces are so dozy that a bad guy can access their computers at will and kill civilians and cops inside what are supposed to be secure buildings.
    Crumbs!

Buncha Dunces

How come NASA is Nasa, NATO is Nato but the FBI ain’t the Fbi? Or maybe it is where terminal iggorance thrives.

Misleading slogan

“We have the solutions”, they claim.
    “We have out hands out for your cash” more like!
