Flies On The Wall
Many a time someone may wish that they were a "fly on the wall" during a particular meeting. However, it wise to be aware that flies are often squashed or eaten by the cat!

Summit Protocol
Before any high level summit can take place, a very large amount of kowtowing to one's neighbours needs to occur.

No matter how many times I have done this in my life, I have yet to be enamoured with putting the clocks forward/back every six months!

Trump Appoints Yosemite Sam As National Security Advisor
President Trump has appointed Yosemite Sam as National Security Advisor (American spelling). Sam has form wrt "diplomacy" and international conflicts:
- Sam was proactive in pushing for the USA to overthrow Saddam Hussein and invade Iraq.
- Sam said of America's failed Afghanistan war that "making Afghanistan serene and peaceful does not constitute a legitimate American geopolitical interest."
- Sam argues that the war in Afghanistan will be "won or lost in Pakistan".
- Sam, for good measure, wanted/wants the USA to become directly involved in Syria.
- Rounding things off nicely, Sam also wants the USA to bomb Iran and North Korea.
- For good measure, Sam also hates the UN and wavers between "defunding it" or simply invading it.
However, people should not be too fearful of Sam, he is in fact not the war monger that his public image suggests. In fact he is a pacifist:
1 He has promised Trump that he "won't start any wars", and
2 He dodged the Vietnam draft, instead enlisting in the National Guard and attending law school after his 1970 graduation.
"I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost."

The World Is Getting Weirder
As the world that we live on becomes weirder by the day, I am minded of a phrase oft used by my grandfather (above foreground 1915 recovering from shrapnel wounds and contemplating what he would like to say to the Kaiser):
"It's not the thing boy!"

Beware The Ices of March
A wee dusting of snow and a smattering of ice and, yet again, Britain grinds to a shuddering halt!
