I guess you all need cheering up as you splash and shiver your way through all this 'global warming' on your way to the salt mine. Actually, courtesy of Andra, this is rather an appropriate joke on the day after a Brit won the American Open:
Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.
The ball hit one of the men.
He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.
The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize.
'Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could
relieve your pain if you'd allow me,' she told him.
'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied.
He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands at his
groin.
At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid
them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside.
She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, 'How does that feel?'
He replied: 'It feels great, but I still think my thumb's broken!'
My wife tells me that a member of her quilting group laughed over this a couple of months ago. Keep up Mr Duff!

Well, it takes so long for the boat from Australia to get here with Andra's jokes!

Oi, Duffers, did you see this Alex Massie piece?

Yes, DM, and Massie (and the others) are surely right and as I mentioned yesterday, I would use the Israelis to feed in the necessary to whichever bunch of scallywags is deemed slightly less reprehensible than the others. The main reason, in my opinion, is that anything Russia wants we should oppose - by whatever means.

Na, let them waste their money, and young men, as they like.
