I wonder what was the ratio of gay to straight porn sites. Just for information.
The only sane person in a world gone mad. Nowadays I am a mere shadow of my former self.

See also HMS Neptune at Sirte, December 1941 - 764 dead, 1 survivor. Plus destroyer Kandahar sunk and cruisers Aurora & Penelope damaged. Catastrophe.

I still treasure the apocryphal "Oh, not another fucking elf!", which turns out to have been said by Hugo Dyson, not C.S. Lewis.

Like, it wasn't adversarial when it was made? With Muggeridge and The Bishop (no, not THAT one) saying it was blasphemous, it wasn't shown on BBC or ITV for fear of offending God-botherers, banned for 8 years in Ireland and 1 year in Norway, banned by several councils in Britain... I could go on.

BBC Radio 4 comedy programmes are largely shouty people with high voices talking really fast about their ADHD, autism or sexuality. The one on now - Saturday at 12:30 is a good (bad) example of this irritating trend. The only ones worth listening to are the News Quiz and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.

I treasure a comment from ancient folk-rock trio Amazing Blondel. They'd come out of retirement about 20 years ago - they were so old they'd been at the first Glastonbury in 1970. One said on stage "We're from Scunthorpe - it's not twinned with anywhere, but we have a suicide pact with Grimsby".

Why is he so greedy? He must have a huge pension, plus a few directorships and House of Lords expenses - it's slightly disgusting Lord Dannatt hustles like a street hooker for a gold mining firm in Ghana that is probably not working in the best interests of the inhabitants or the environment.

I think similar things happened over the Suez Canal in late 1942 with Ju-86s flying reconnaissance missions from Crete. Spitfire Vs were stripped. Several Ju-86s were chased and a couple were shot one down, after which no more missions were flown.

So like the Emperor Ferdinand of Austria - enfeebled by epilepsy, every decision was taken by his ministers. As Wikipedia puts it... When told he could not have apricot dumplings (Marillenknödel) because apricots were out of season, he said "I am the Emperor, and I want dumplings!" So like Trump.

In any normal government, other politicians and civil servants would have grabbed him and strapped him into a straight jacket - and under previous presidents, that would have happened. But the American public has gone mad too. It's a revolution, like Russia in 1917, China in 1949, Cambodia in 1975.

What gives? Lessons from Putin - enrich yourselves, but fund me. If you criticise you lose your wealth and liberty (like Khodorkovsky) or your life (like Berezovsky). You can't stay neutral - you have to suck up publicly and pay the money privately. Well, that's my view from the stalls, anyway.

People with extreme racist attitudes like that develop them over a period of time. It's a descent into mental illness, like paranoia and bipolar. But I don't feel sorry for him, because he has chosen these opinions that have steered him into increasing madness.

My father was 2nd officer in Turbulent. He never mentioned having hit a PoW ship in error, so I think they never realised what had happened. I read Turbulent's patrol log last year and there's no mention of PoWs, even weeks later in notes from the flotilla HQ and the Admiralty.

Gormless. My late mother, born in 1921, knew the dangers of unpasteurised milk. Her mother (born 1882 in a low-paid family) knew the dangers of unpasteurised milk and made sure her own family was protected from it. So I don't see how this Florida mom could be so ignorant.
