Not much of a gift

The Turkish president, who hosted the latest NATO meeting, is a bit of a joker. He presented Bier Smarmer with a cowboy Colt pistol engraved with the extinct prime fantasist’s name plus 500 rounds of ammo.
    Slight snag; importing that lot into the UK is illegal, and Bier had to leave everything behind when he came home.

Not trusted

You see a lot of plugs for trustatrader.com on the Legend TV channel. One of my correspondents was inspired to give it a try. But he abandoned it double-quick when his anti-virus program popped up a screen saying it wasn’t going to allow the use of a website it didn’t approve of!

A matter of marketing

And so it goes on. More lumps for FIFA. Egypt is claiming that its team was swindled out of a win against Argentina by a got-at officiating crew so that the current champions could progress.

Back West again

The TigerCats visited the RoughRiders on Sunday; 55 degrees on the field!! FG for the RR to start? Missed for a rouge. Sack, fumble RR ball. A rouge for the RR, 1-all. In to Q2, FG for the RR. Another TC fumble, recovered by them for a gain. FG, 4-all. The RR got close as the half ran down, TD, 4-11. Where’s the kick off going? Scoring range, just a FG, 7-11.
    A pick by the Cats in Q3, out on a 3rd & 1. TD for the RR after 10 minutes, 7-18. The TC drove in to Q4, sack, punt. A fumble recovery to the end zone by the RR? Charge! from the TC 1, 7-24 after the PAT missed. Red zone for the Cats; a pick by the RR, taken all the way to the end zone! 7-31. A sack stopped the Cats. Another TD for the Riders, 7-38 final.

Fiscal danger zone

The general cluelessness of Jonah Bandwagon has upset the Office for Budgie Responsibility and the Bonk of England. They are complaining that the current uncertainty and indecision about government policy has left the UK on the brink of a debt precipice. How very Labour.

Not going away

President Thump still wants to be handed Greenland as compensation for NATO’s failure to join in the Israel/USA war with Iran. Do it, or all US troops will be withdrawn from Europe, is the latest threat.

Entirely predictable

Milipede’s Nett Zero scam costs a bomb during hot weather. Occasionals can’t supply enuff power for air conditioning and simple fans to keep the customers cool. Expensive imports from Europe are needed to bridge the Edstone Gaps.
