It’s always all about the dosh

The people lining up in the freezing cold from 5 a.m. to get into the Ghislane Maxwell trial are ‘observers’? Not a bunch of scandal-mongers with no jobs to go to? Right.
    Her defence lawyer is on pretty solid ground when she says Ms Maxwell is being done over by the people who did nothing about the J. Savile clone J. Epstein and the case against her client is all about their guilt plus memory manipulation and money. Especially money.

Pony up the dosh anyway

“Which could arrive in time for Xmas,” says the cheery voice in the TV ad.
    Or not.
    How weasel can your words get, mate!

Delivery rating

Further to Royal Mail getting a satisfaction rating of 50%. We had the hit & run packet bandit today. Knock, then a card through the door and away before anyone could get near it.

Channelling LBJ?

Something suggested for yelling at the French President:
“Hey, Hey, Macrony, How many dead aujourd’hui?”

Against the odds

I was rather surprised to read that Yodel and Hermes can manage only about 30% customer satisfaction for their deliveries on a good day. Our local Hermes lady seems very efficient. Maybe we’re just lucky.

Half a point for trying

I gather the WHO had reached mu in its list of variants of the Chinese plague, most of them vanishing quickly. The official explanation for why they jumped two letters in the Greek alphabet to omicron is that nu sounds too much like new and there are lots of people around called Xi. Including the President of China.
    Flimsy, at best.

They’ll tell you anything on TV

Ebby Scrooge has a Pelington bike? How daft can you get! No doubt Charles Dickens is spinning in his grave.
