Marilyn Monroe, if still alive, would have been great as the heroine in an SPC film. There is a reason she could never have got the part. First person to guess gets an Aston Martin or a chocolate biscuit - but not both. 😮 geni.us/StationPhilosophers website: roriesmithbooks.my.canva.site

This kicks out any semblance of “method to the madness” on the extreme public pressure on Ukraine this last month. Russia isn’t willing even to insincerely play along to hand Trump a ‘win’. Which suggests they think he’ll hand them a bigger one anyway.

Visit home to the UK. Delighted to find that at my daughter's home in Wiltshire they still get a daily milk delivery. Thought milk deliveries died out a generation ago? Didn't Norman Wisdom star as a milkman in the 1965 film "The Early Bird?" 😮 geni.us/StationPhilosophers #wiltshire #quirkyfashion
