Yes, alas and alack, this week I have lived down to my very worst traits of idleness! Next week I promise to get a grip and return to my usual stream of, er, utter crap! In the meantime, here are a few of what pass for thoughts in my brain!
Farewell, Meghan! Don't think you will not be missed because we Brits always enjoy a snigger especially at dopey-daft foreigners. Even more so when, as happens so often, they take an instant dislike to us. Alas, Meghan, you have joined a world-wide club of zillions who detest and despise the British so not too much exclusivity there! Oh, and please keep hold of Harry, he is a total prat and embarrassment!
Has anyone seen the Labour party? Not, I hasten to add, that I am missing it, let alone eager to see it back again, but, dammit, it is supposed to be Her Majesty's Official Opposition!
Simon Heffer gives it 5-stars but even so . . . I am referring to Nick Lloyd's history The Western Front of which Volume I has just been published. It has the benefit of providing insights into all sides of the conflict. I am tempted, despite my certain knowledge that is will reduce me to tears of both sympathy and anger! However, given my age, will I live long enough to finish it?
There is something rotten in the State of Scotland: 'If ye ha'e any doots' then the continuous stream of stories emanating from Edinburgh will still them, or rather, they will replace them with genuine worries for the 'body-politic' up there!
Cheerio, 'Nige', and thanks for everything: So, we bid farewell to Nigel Farage, arguably the the most influential British politician since Winston Churchill. He it was who, virtually single-handedly, got us out of the clutches of those wretched Europeans and their British 'fifth column'. Give that man a seat in the Lords!
No more later
In every photo I saw of "her" and Harry, she always had a good grip on his arm and it seems so today. Somehow, she has managed to convince him that she is the only girl in the world who's "got one". Shame.

What surprises me about Harry is how dopey he looks these days. He must have had lessons.

That's not fair. We just lack a refined sense of irony.

So, Duffers, you’re back I see.

"Give that man a seat in the Lords!" Couldn't have put it better myself!

Whitewall, I doubt Farage will join the Lords booze club at taxpayers expense however a Knighthood is totally worthy of the man.
We have more unelected Lords than we have elected politicians. We need Donald over here to drain the Swamp. Is Sleepy Joe active or is Bob pulling his strings?

Jimmy, Britain needs a thousand Nigels. Come to think on it, so do we. Would the title Knight equate to what we call Patriot?

We Murricans will be happy to keep Harry, in California where maybe he can run for Governor. But please, please send his dad Charlie to some remote location in Antartica where he can remain in the company of his beloved penguins and far, far away from the throne, cameras and microphones, permanently. When HRH passes at age 105, be sure to tap William, seems to be the only sane one in he lot.

Jimmy I just found this: https://dailytimewaster.blogspot.com/2021/03/laurence-fox-running-for-mayor-of.html
I've been following Fox for a while now. Best of luck to him.

Glesga,
The American public seems to like a little sleepiness compared to the deafening grind of drama and trolling. Biden's more popular than Trump ever was:

Most of us would consider a trade of Harry for Donnie a good one. And those aren't strings. They're the Frankenstein wires delivering the electricity that keeps Old Joe moving.
