There can’t be much happening in the world today if blaming Islamist terrorists for a vehicular attack on a homo’sexualist event in Berlin yesterday got such a lengthy slot on the lunchtime Beeb news programme.

Retro? No way!
One of my correspondents, a prolific writer who rejoiced when he could afford a PC and a laser printer via earnings from the 1992 general election campaign, is not going back to the 1970s.
Yes, he still has his second typewriter – he wore the first one out – but he is not going to give up being able to design and print his own thermal-bound and hardback volumes for any iggorant git from Wigan. So there!
p.s. Do they still make ribbons for typewriters?
Plenty dosh
Paying off the Cabinet ministers sacked (but for how long) by J.B will coat the taxpayer £223,000.
Strange people!
What’s the strange wet stuff falling out of the sky since yesterday afternoon? Ah, yes, anorak weather. But no. Blokes were spotted this morning in shorts and a T-shirt, and women in similar heat wave gear. Getting wet and not bovvered about it. Weird!
Argos in B.C.
The team from T’ronno got to tackle the Lions in Vancouver. The first Argo drive went to a TD. Lots of defence. The Lions reached scoring range as Q1 ran out, FG, 7-3 to start Q2. One for the Argos. One for the Lions, 10-6. Kelly 44-yard pass to the end zone, 17-6. Off after a violent tackle. Arbuckle sacked to stop the Argos.
In Q3, Arbuckle doing some rushing as well as passing, FG for the Argos. Rourke sacked. 47-yard FG for the Argos, 23-6. Finally, the Lions close, FG to close Q3 at 23-9.
More rushing by Arbuckle, sacked, FG from 48 yards, 26-9. Another Argo long FG try hit the upright. Whyte again for the Lions, 26-12 final.
Interesting theory
The speculators have decided that Jonah Burnbum has proved that disloyalty can be beneficial and they are now wondering how long it will be before the same force topples the Pretender.
Backstabbing is something that worked for Tory pretenders. And wot if Red Edstone decides he deserves another shot at being the party leader? He certainly has form for it.
The impossible dream
Jonah Burnbum has made a Big Thing out of his alternative base in Manchester. But it has been revealed that it won’t be ready for use before 2032 or 2033, and he’ll be long gone before then.
