Silver lining ……. Magari!

So I decided that I would have a dry November. However being an habitual drinker I needed to find a substitute. I enjoy Fentimans ginger beer and also tomato juice but I though I might try some alcohol free beers. Frankly most of them taste like there’s something missing – which, of course, there is. THEN I came across an alcohol-free lager which doesn’t have that hole in the taste! YES! ‘Not so fast!’ Said reality. Not only is it more expensive than the real thing it is also massively calorific and full of all sorts of stuff. So instead of feeling the benefits, I’m feeling miserable , broke and fat …….

Roll on December!🍺🍺🍺🤪

Just heard this line on Star Trek Deep Space Nine: ‘They’ve gone into orbit near the Kardasian!’ Is SHE that big that moving around her is considered an orbit ?!

New Yorker animal cartoons are always brilliant!!

Somewhat blatant?

I don’t think anyone is in any doubt about the links between the Tories and big business but surely being called Mark Spencer is a little too obvious even for them?

It was a dark and stormy night ….

Before I finally awoke at four a.m., I had already made one trip to the bathroom. Returning to bed, I looked in on my desk to see what time it was. I glanced out of the window.

The rain was lashing down and the wind was howling in gusts. There before my eyes I saw four hooded figures standing at the corners of a large pyre of wood waiting to be ignited. Their cloaks swirled in the wind. My mind flashed back to the cathartic scene in Race with the Devil where Peter Fonda sees a coven performing a Satanic rite – the event which instigates the frenetic chase which leads to inevitable disaster. . . .

I put my glasses on so I could see my watch which also enabled me to make out the shape of the skip which next doors builders had filled and to which they had attached black bin liners ……..
