Expertise Is a Transient Thing

 

A month ago, everyone on social media was an expert in virology.

A week ago, they were experts on Afghanistan.

Today, they are experts on the global road haulage industry.

Where will tomorrow take us?

RIP

How To Recognise a Shithole From Afar

 

How to recognise a shithole from afar......

When the country's spokesman says this:

"“Our security forces are not trained how to deal with women, how to speak to women … Until we have full security in place … we ask women to stay home,”

Dental Prep

 

At midday today I have to go to the dentist, in order to have the veneer that fell off one of my upper central incisors replaced.

I have as much love of going to the dentist as I do of having a jab. Therefore, in accordance with custom and practice, I am deploying the vodka!

Who Is Running The Taliban's PR Campaign?

 

The Taliban is running a sophisticated PR campaign on multiple platforms and in multiple languages, trying to soft soap the world that they are now "respectable" and that they are people that you can "do business with".

The question is, who is running/advising them on their campaign?

Weather Forecast For The Rest of August

  

BLAND

Theresa May is a Closet Trekkie!

 

America First!

 

An angry, bitter and possibly senile old man has just thrown America, its allies and the rest of the world under the bus.

In the coming months he will step down because of "health reasons", leaving his successors to try to clean up the mess he has created.

Advice To Biden

 

Put your clocks right, the time difference between London and Moscow in Summer is 2 hours not 3!

Charity and Dignity

 

When offering an individual (as opposed to a charitable organisation of overpaid executives) a charitable act/contribution, be sure to wrap that offer in a generous layer of dignity.

Happy Glorious Twelfth Day

 

Throwing The Toys Out of The Pram

In order to throw the toys out of the pram, the baby/third world dictator has to have them in the pram in the first place.

Thus, if you want to stop the toys from being thrown out of the pram, don't put them in the pram in the first place!

Beware When Governments Use The Word "Temporary"

Beware when governments use the word "temporary".

"Temporary" tends to last for many years!

Printers

 

Why do printers take so long to clear heir throats before telling you that you have run out of paper/ink?

The Right Track

 

Being on the right track is excellent, as far as it goes. However, you should be careful to avoid being run over by the oncoming train!

Advice To Government Ministers

 

Follow the example of the criminal community, and use burner phones when you want to keep those "special" messages private from the prying eyes of the police/parliamentary investigators.

Consensus Models Are Worse Than Worthless

 

Consensus models that combine optimistic and pessimistic models are worse than worthless, and most certainly should not be used for planning or forecasting.

Yet, these are the very models that the government have been using to manage the Covid outbreak!

Question for FAKE SAGE

 

You are normally very keen to hold doom laden press conferences highlighting your version of "facts" and your projections of an imminent apocalypse.

Yet, for the last couple of weeks you have been unusually quiet.

Will you be holding a press conference to apologise for your wildly incorrect projections and your fear inducing announcements?
