Things Noticeable this week

Looks like those "sex tapes" from 11 years ago have basically unleashed Trump.

Now he can go full-bore nationalist, which is basically part of the job description for a leader of a nation.

People seemed bored of politics now, so some of them spend their time arguing if a man can legally hit a woman when she starts the fight.

Well, here in The Great White North, we're looking at a forecast of temperatures in the low to mid teens and sunshine right through to the end of the week. As I work outdoors, this is very good news indeed.

We have snow and -8C. This is good because the snow can't melt and make our pants dirty

This week in England their foreign minister says Brexit will be a "Titanic success"

hmm... did no one tell him the Titanic sank?

Hahaha!

Nothing but envy there. You hate the EU because it guarantees workers' rights, freedom of travel & residence, safe & secure food etc, and that it can't be bullied. Where are you? Oh yes, not a bad place, but let's not mention your neighbors

That will be true for many decades, not just this week

It's probably already been stated but things for me this week, first the media seeming to be interested in the FBI probe on hillary now that it's been laid to rest, Donald Trump blaming the FBI for the first probe then in the same breath praising Comey for reopening the blaming again for not finding anything and last the fact that the world is burning everywhere around us and the mind dead here in the US are more concerned with what Hollywood and Beyonce are involved in. God help us.

I found a silver pound coin in my change today, what's that all about ?..

Check all our laws for equal rights, employment, tenancy, social security benefits, health care and you will find that they all date from long before we joined the EU! Sorry palo, too much propaganda being read by you again!

We abolished the death sentence about 20 years before France, has Russia banned it yet?

We hate the EU because it takes away our right to rule ourselves, and uses unellected dictators to rule us, bit like the old USSR, funny that you like it, after you got rid of your old system, yet criticise us for wanting to get rid of the same!

I noticed a large, spent rocket in the garden yesterday-funny I thought I heard something after midnight(and I had headphones on at the time as I hate the bloody things) on Saturday-the cut off point but no-one seems to realise that. I also noticed that there is a petition to the Government to ban fireworks from people's gardens, or at least allowing the public to get hold of them and have organised displays instead. Of course we all know that subsequent Governments have done f-all over the years in that respect and I can't see this one doing anything, so how many kids have to be injured either by accident or their own stupidity before something is done?

I noticed they have announced the women in the I'm A Celebrity-Get Me Out of Here(not that I've ever watched that rubbish because I cannot stand those two idiot no-talents Ant & Dec) and surprise surprise they have Ola Jordan, Carol Vorderman, Scarlet Moffatt(who?) Lisa Snowdon, Samantha Quek(gorgeous Hockey gold medalist for Team GB) amongst the girls - no doubt that will prove to be a total wa*kfest for youths watching-which one goes for the bikini shot first I wonder.
