Fleeting Thoughts

Fleeting thoughts are like the Mayfly, they shine brightly and provide comfort but for a few seconds then die and are forgotten.

Summer Rain

As sure as eggs are eggs, as soon as the school holidays begin the heavens open and down comes the rain.

Fortunately, as I am many years removed from being at school, the warming embrace of alcohol ensures that every day is a sunny day!

Presidential Pardons

Presidential pardons are all well and good, when applied sparingly and to non connected individuals, maybe.

However, when they are thrown around like confetti to the president's nearest and dearest that is a sure sign that the president is on his/her way out!

Banana Helmet

A bunch of bananas makes an environmentally friendly, and nutritious crash helmet.

Pineapples

Pineapples are a very cheerful fruit.

Perfect Negotiations

Perfect negotiations can be achieved when the parties involved don't know what side they are on.

Points of Commonality

Human beings seek points of commonality when they interact with each other, sadly they more often than not get sidetracked and angered by points of difference!

Scotch Eggs

It is a wondrous hen indeed that can lay a hard boiled egg encased in sausage meat and breadcrumbs!

Question Re Earthquakes

Question: When does an earthquake disappoint the media?

Answer: When it is a real earthquake off the coast of North Korea!

Scrambled Eggs

My early morning scrambled eggs were, instead of being a rich golden colour, pale and insipid.

This does not bode well!

Advice To Despots Who Emulate Royalty

In order to emulate royalty you need to have offspring to pass you "kingdom" on to when you expire.

Empty Threats

An empty threat is not only ineffective, it is dangerous and will make a bad situation worse!

Happy 4th of July

A very happy Independence Day to my American friends.

Self Commendation

Self commendation is the sincerest form of flattery.
