I wanted to go to Lyon. Continue reading “Going South”
Men misbehaving and women…..?
The sad saga continues: monied men are being outed for inappropriate treatment of women (mostly) who are seeking employment or already employed in service rôles. I am trying to use neutral language here – so that the wood is distinguishable from the trees. Continue reading “Men misbehaving and women…..?”
Mt Baker at it again
The local paper reports that Mt Baker had 100″ of snow this WEEK.
Most of which fell on us as rain! (Do remember 12″ snow 1″ of rain though!)
We are hideously waterlogged and one mustn’t stand still or one gets mould, no wonder half the population appears to be in Arizona, Mexico or Hawaii. After getting pneumonia in Wales last autumn I ain’t going anywhere soon, thank God for central heating and a good roof.
How is the weather elsewhere? It is definitely a wetter winter than usual here, doesn’t bloody stop, worse than Wales and that’s going some!
BBB
Yes, it’s Boris the Bridge Builder. Hello Theresa, hello Emmanuel, hello Donald! He’s loved you all along – you just couldn’t see it, could you? I suppose it’s better than building walls – unless it’s Churchillian and just for fun.
Transformation Complete
. . . so what’s new?
The new look for the Chariot is finished.
Almost everything is the same as it was on the older Chariot, but there are a few extras –
- Everything works properly.
- It’s easier to read.
- It’s now smart mobile friendly.
- There are no adverts!
- You can do more with pictures in posts. For example Featured Image and Subtitle, both used above, and clever handling of larger pictures (not illustrated).
- You can also do some nifty formatting with text in posts. I’ll post some examples later.
Post as many critical comments as you like; you may well detect something that I have missed. Other than that – enjoy!
End of the known world!
There is a definite lack of sustenance in this world, it is definitely coming to a non bitter end. I doubt many of you have noticed but it is the demise of the Seville orange.
Good for a laugh – unless you are a feminist.
I came across this video in the Spectator. It is 30 minutes, so those of limited attention spans (e.g. gadflies) may not have the perseverance to see it all the way through. I must admit I had never heard of either individual, but for today at least Jordan Peterson is my new personal hero.
Heads
Gold is very yesteryear, innit? Silence – which is undoubtedly golden – has no place here and speech is silvern. Hence this flattering new portrait which shows me (l) in the limelight and Backside in the shade, just as it should be.
Any road up, we hope you like our new livery – although once again, Backside’s actual words do not bear repetiton. Goodness knows what’s eating him this time.
Oprah for President?
It seems to be true. She’s running (or perhaps sitting) in 2020. Pause for thought. Okay. Ron did it. Don did it. She can’t be less palatable than Billary, can she? As embarrassing as Trump? Or maybe by 2020 an AI robot will be a safer choice? Hmm.
South African Priorities!
The ANC in South Africa recently held party elections for new leadership. I guess the emphasis was on party.
