As today is World Parrot Day I’m bringing back to the timeline my favourite rendition of Whole Lotta Rosie by Tico (parrot) and Frank (non-parrot) of Tico and the Man (a truly great squawk n' roll band)

As Trump's latest genius move sees him launch a trade war with penguins, I'll again share a slang French phrase for telling someone they're a bozo / a few sandwiches short of a picnic. It goes t’es pas le pingouin qui glisse le plus loin and it means “you’re not the penguin that slides the farthest”
