Sensible planning

How kind of the MotorGP organizers to hold today’s event in Argentina so that fans can watch the action during the afternoon instead of having to crawl out of bed at some ungodly BST hour.

Cats don’t have clocks

. . . so how do they know what time it is? The cat usually goes out at 7 a.m. or so. She did it again today. Only it was really 6 a.m. GMT counting from yesterday and 7 a.m. only because of BST. Cats are just as smart as they seem to be.

Did I really hear a plug for a programme about The Native American Revolution on Forces TV? They kept very quiet about that one when I was at school.

Definitely not fooled

You have to wonder about the mentality of the people who commission long, virtue-flagging TV adverts like the current one for Nationwide. You might pay attention to the first couple of showings, then it’s, “Oh, Nationwide again, mute button, Jeeves.”
    Worse, you start asking questions like: If the Nationwide is so wonderful because it’s a ‘mutual’, why do the bosses get million-pound salaries like the bosses of ‘commercial’ banks? And why are the interest rates for savers so pathetic?
    Virtue? Ph-tuie!

We were talking about a definition for a boo-hoo bugger last night. I’m chuffed to report that my suggestion of someone who throws a confected wobbly when the prime minister quotes from a meerkat TV advert made the top ten.

What’s the point?

What’s the point of having a general election when we know from direct recent experience that whatever the 2 main parties put in their manifesto, they’ll feel free to ignore if it suits them?
    It’s definitely Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me time.

Going, going . . . ?

“Brexit means Brexit” – no, it didn’t. “No deal is better than a bad deal” – yeah, right!
