If Kim Jong-un had a son(god help us all) would he be a wrong-UN?

Or could be a Kim Young-Un

Just an aside:-

I have a work colleague called Kim. She was unwell today so could not come in. The diary entry read "Kim Ill Sat" - which has a nice NK ring to it.

Kim Ill Sat? That sounds like a new broadcast channel system!

Did anyone's satellite or internet system experience some glitch this week? I know there was a huge meteorite that flew close to Earth but I wonder if it had some effect on Earth - my satellite signal broke up and the computer failed to get connect to the Internet and for the first time in years the signal for the router flashed orange - I had to reboot it but it had frustrated me for a whole hour.

The fact that the Berkeley police withdrew when Anti-Fa attacked the Alt-Right group was apparent in the videos from the incident. It reminds me of the early 80's when the LA police lines opened and let construction workers with 2X4's pour thru and attack anti-Shah Iranian protestors. I guess the leftists were expecting to congratulate themselves for forcing the Rightists off their streets. Disarming the Rightists before they left, the Berkeley police show their bias.

It will be very interesting to see if on April 27th, the Ann Coulter appearance will cause some of these extremists on either side to kill. Free entertainment via the internet.

A Labour government would seek to create four new UK-wide bank holidays, Jeremy Corbyn says.

The holidays would be on each nation's patron saint day - St David's Day on 1 March, St Patrick's Day on 17 March, St George's Day on 23 April and St Andrew's Day on 30 November.

Mr Corbyn believes the move will "celebrate the national cultures of our proud nations".

Labour says the UK has fewer bank holidays than other G20 countries.

Normally, England and Wales have eight bank holidays a year, Scotland nine, and Northern Ireland 10.

Labour says the average for G20 countries is 12.

Under the policy, the devolved administrations would have the final say on whether to approve the extra bank holidays.

Creating bank holidays is a devolved power in Scotland.

As Romanian player Simona Halep was answering a question in English about Williams' pregnancy at Friday's Fed Cup draw in Constanta, the 70-year-old turned to one of his other team members and added in Romanian: "Let's see what colour it has. Chocolate with milk?"

Pretty much what my old mum would say as she just says what comes into her mind, it's a generation thing and another storm in a tea cup.

Nastase is already in the news again, apparantly he made another tennis player cry by calling her a f***ing b*****. he also insulted another coach and some officials.

Smooth guy
