“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, which is just long enough to become president of the USA”. Spike Milligan

I so dislike ‘living with’ ( a health condition). A notice at my GPs says: “ Are you living with a long term condition?”. No, I live alone. Should I move in with a long term condition? 🙄

I was sharing a link to a video of a part of an opera by Rameau. It’s a dance called “Les Sauvages”. Autocorrect wanted to turn it into “Les Sausages”. Who’s he? 😂

Triviality alert: If it was written ‘mis-trial’ then I would t keep silently reading a word that in my head is pronounced ‘mystery-el’.

It just takes practice to be a conspiracy theorist: Alice: ‘… one can’t believe impossible things’. Queen: ‘… you haven’t had much practice. When I was your age I always did it for half an hr a day. Why, sometimes I believed as many as 6 impossible things before breakfast’.

Haha

I hate Musk’s X. Apart from more important objections, I keep clicking on it, thinking that’s going to close Twitter down. #SeniorMoments

Responses to being forced into a U-turn: ‘I’ve changed my mind’ (Elon Musk). ‘It was just a distraction’ (Kwarteng). ‘It wasn’t my idea’ (Truss).

If the Queen’s only difficulty in getting out and about really is that she has “mobility problems” why doesn’t she use a wheelchair? What does it say to wheelchair users that she doesn’t appear in pubic using a wheelchair?

Matt Hancock is trying to hone his skills at the asymptomatic transmission of lies. He hasn’t quite mastered the barefaced bit yet.

Like the Sarah Everard judge, another judge has just described a murder victim as “wholly blameless”. Tantamount to saying other victims brought it upon themselves.

Where can I find clear, straightforward information comparing deaths from flu and from Covid in the UK in 2022? The ONS site has info covering Jan to July 2020. Is there anything more recent?

"Learning to live with Covid". What is it we're supposed to be "learning"?

To "address the underlying culture" someone needs to ask the PM for his yoghurt recipe. Is one of the ingredients credulity? Does it need to be strained?
