You’re on the money.

‘So many people conveniently forget that Turkey is a big trading partner of the United States, in fact they make the structural steel frame for our F-35 Fighter Jet.’

Bombshell quote from a national security council official:

Interestingly, the tariffs are on Scotch whisky, but not Irish whiskey. Which shows the power of the Irish lobby in Washington and the meaningless ‘Special Relationship’. This should be a strong lesson to the UK government about just how seriously Congress is going to back up the Republic when it comes to the UK’s…

It looks like a BMW i3 was humped by a Dualit toaster.

I know nothing about an Air Force plane landing at an airport (which I do not own and have nothing to do with) near Turnberry Resort (which I do own) in Scotland, and filling up with fuel, with the crew staying overnight at Turnberry (they have good taste!). NOTHING TO DO WITH ME

“I can reveal to you that several months ago, I met with the Danish ambassador and I proposed that they sell Greenland to us,”

If we’re going to have illuminated signs or mascots on our cars, can we have something half as good as these ones made by Lalique in the late 1920s?

Our American friends might have missed the latest idiocy from the posh moron about to be installed by an audience of superannuated bigots. Today Johnson talked about the Irish border as follows:

Do we need some Randy Rainbow? I think we do:

I find it hard to believe he’s READ a book, let alone written one. There’s an utterly bovine air about the whole Trump clan - and it’s not just the bullshit they spout.

Absolutely amazing series. Have another upvote.

Definite upvote for My Dad Wrote a Porno (now a touring show and soon to be on HBO). The shared listening experiences they run from time to time are awesome - especially if you are on the Underground and are trying to spot the other Blinkers.

Assuming they haven’t used CGI for 99% of everything that’s on-screen.

Project Gemini always astounds me - it kind of gets lost between the pioneering Mercury programme and the glories of Apollo, but they did so much - twelve flights in just two years during which they tested space walks, long duration flights and extra-high orbits. Gemini also marked the point where the US jumped ahead…
