Advice To Cyclists
When you encounter a group of elderly people having to stand on the pavement cycle lane, as they are getting on a tour bus, shouting "please move" without lessening your speed or adjusting your direction of travel is not only rude but bloody stupid!

The Alleged Macron Trump Bromance
Warning of the "rampaging work of extreme nationalism," French Pres. Macron tells joint meeting of Congress: "Closing the door to the world will not stop the evolution of the world." https://t.co/EYvyHpzPGp pic.twitter.com/iE9FukZSYT— ABC News (@ABC) April 26, 2018
Much nonsense has been written by the media about the so called Macron/Trump bromance.
There was of course nothing of the sort. However, Macron had I suspect briefly the ability and strength to persuade Trump to "think" a little about the possible consequences of his planned actions wrt eg Iran.
Unfortunately, once someone explains to Trump that Macron dissed him in his speech to Congress any such hope will be consigned to the dustbin of history. As Macron knows (or should know) Trump does not take kindly to being dissed, especially in public!

Open Toed Sandals - Just Say No!
Now that the warm weather is upon us, there is the temptation for some to don open toed sandals or flip flops.
As I have noted before, such footwear is morally degenerate; feet should be properly shod.

Leaders Today
I am beginning to think that many of our current world leaders have some serious shortcomings!
Are these people in power because there are no better candidates, or because the voters have lost the ability to tell wheat from chaff?

The Cleft In The Buttocks of Life
There comes a cleft in the buttocks of life when people are faced with a decision that will affect not only their lives, but the lives of others.
When faced with this cleft it is essential that people think through the consequences of their decision, in order that they choose wisely.

Gut Feelings
Sometimes a gut feeling is all that you can rely on. Hence it is a foolish man who consistently denigrates them!
