@meidastouch.com Hi Ben, Tremendous work everyone there. Ben, please: Qatar is pronounced ‘Ca-tar’ rather than ‘Cu-ter’. You’ve mentioned it many times in the last few days and I’ve been waiting for someone to influence you. Rest assured, I greatly appreciate the excellent work you guys do.

It's all right posting, but action is more effective. I am going to crash the American economy and bring Trump to his knees by not buying any more Pringles. What are you doing?

So, a Trump Tower skyscraper for Damascus. Stinks much?

A cloud of funk has been hovering over me all day. Usually, a little humour can mitigate against the horrors of humankind, but today that would be a stretch so far as to pull a hamstring, and nobody wants that. Well, I don't.

With what Trump (& his gang) are doing to the reputation of America, I see a parallel with Netanyahu and his gang. It is no more contentious to hate the Trumpers but to 'love' America than it is to hate Netanyahu-ers without condemning Israel. it's OK to swap 'gang' with the 'n' word if you wish.

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

That's it. I've had enough. I'm going tea mug shopping tomorrow. The one I dubbed as my favourite has been leading me a right dance. The 'evil' empire controlling its little, fold-away legs, is just trying to keep my step count up, but enough is enough. Even on Sundays it won't stay where I put it.

On my bucket list: To be in the right place at the right time to watch a flashmob perform from start to finish. Sadly the odds against are astronomical.

I wonder if we will be importing meat from Trumpland. If it turns out to be true, us Brits should be demanding of our MPs that eateries serving it have to display notices to that effect. Supermarkets will do, but we have to make sure that it's not included in ready meals.

Some (younger?) people think that the older you get, the less excitement there is to come one's way. Ha, only this afternoon, I dropped a coin on the supermarket floor and bent down and picked it up and then stood up again.

I've eaten in many countries but I've yet to find a meal that would not be enhanced by two of those whopping crunchy pickled onions from the jar on the chippies counter. (Yes, I'm British!)

Think how much more magical the world would be if God had taken more care with his selection of unicorns instead of sending a gay pair to the ark…

Another art of the non-deal. Even though it would be American for American, the Vatican has turned down Trumpty Dumpty's offer as a job swap.

A successful afternoon: three justs and the tingling taste. Just had the butter out of the fridge long enough to spread easily. Just caught the toast as it was turning crunchy. Just having just enough Piccalilli left in the jar for a skim on top. Men of my age wouldn't normally say this, but yummy!

We have very quickly gone from a post-war state to pre-war. We should all be very concerned. Ironic that it’s VE Day.

I've just opened my bag of Salt and Vinigar crisp upside down. They don't taste the same and I now have a wet lap. I blame Trump.

I know that Trump is speaking to the penguins for a biggly trade deal, but does anyone know if he’s started talking to Paldonia yet, after all it’s in his back yard.

Lho Tzu 6th C BCE He who knows yet thinks he does not know has great wisdom. He who does not know and thinks he knows is diseased. Shakespeare: 17th C - 2,300 years later. The fool doth think he is wise, but the wiseman knows himself to be a fool. Does Billy Boy get a pass on plagiarism?

Every country has an army: either their own or someone else’s. An old Polish saying. Not quite true but food for thought.

I tried opening a tube of Pringles upside down. Now I've got a headache and have to accept that I'm not as flexible as I used to be.

A hardened attitude is a dreadful disease. It causes a closed mind and a dark future. I don't know the origin of that adage, but it fits something I experienced today.

A tough day. I had to confront my half-hearted commitment to losing a few kilos by facing up to having to watching the cheese lady cut and wrap, and then audaciously drop four types of cheese into my trolley that I shouldn't have bought. Seriously, doesn't help. Scales, USB enabled, are a curse.
