Some inside views. We've taken the big table out and just have a fold up camping table, and Lynn has replaced the dill upholstery with some lovely arts & crafts patterned cushions.

Who Robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.
A still from the film 'The Pirates in an adventure with Scientists'. The pirates are stood on the deck of a ship looking piratical.

A cartoon of passengers on a plane, with one passenger stood up saying "these smug pilots have lost touch with regular passengers like us. Who thinks I should fly the plane?". Several other passengers have raised their hands.

She thought centre right Obama was a dangerous communist when he stood for President, so her right wing politics go a long way back.
As a Latina and a new American citizen, I believe in this country and its people, and I believe that we need more than just "change." We need a leader who can bring about the right kind of change, and John McCain has the experience and judgment necessary to lead us in these uncertain times. I grew up in Cuba and Venezuela, and I am appalled that Barack Obama apparently wants to emulate the "spread the wealth" economic policies of those countries and negotiate with their leaders.

She's not a fan of yours:

Well, she thought centre-right Barack Obama was too left wing. In her own words:
"As a Latina and a new American citizen, I believe in this country and its people, and I believe that we need more than just "change." We need a leader who can bring about the right kind of change, and John McCain has the experience and judgment necessary to lead us in these uncertain times.

There are many more all around where I live in Normandy.
The Normandy American Cemetery near Bayeux in Normandy, France. Endless white crosses in a field, each with a small French & US flag next to it.

But the Antifa is restricting use of them to illegal aliens with forged Multipasses.
Leeloo, the alien from the film 'The Fifth Element' is rebuilt from only a hand in a glass pod

It's True. My girlfriend's spaceship was shot down recently and 99% of her body was lost, but they managed to save her in a MedBed.
Scene from The 5th Element where Leeloo has been rebuilt from a fist by a kind of 3D printer which looks like one of the MedBed pods in the Trump AI video.

We went to a heritage tractor rally here in Normandy a few weeks ago. Lots of rusty old tractors there, but also this fancy gentleman farmer's vehicle.
A very posh-looking vintage tractor, it's like a cross between a tractor and a 1930 saloon car. Viewed from the front left corner. A very posh-looking vintage tractor, it's like a cross between a tractor and a 1930 saloon car. A view into the cab with an upholstered leather bench seat.

Some of his opinions. He was a nazi, he had declared war on many people and caused many deaths with his stochastic terrorism. When someone declares war, you don't have to wait until they're storming your house at 4am and dragging you and your family off to a death camp before acting.

Linehan wasn't just saying something a bit offensive - he was inciting violence, there's a BIG difference.
A tweet from Graham Linehan which says "if a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act". "Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls,"

And the best chips in the Netherlands are from the Albert Cuypmarkt in Amsterdam. Ask for Patatje Oorlog. Satay sauce, mayonnaise and diced onions.

Every time I see this absolutely fucking nonsense I can't help think of how they might implement the ban, and then I always come back to them stationing something like Viz's 'Bottom Inspectors' in every public toilet and changing room.

Talking of men's changing rooms, I'm currently using old spice deodorant - a variety called 'Wolfthorn' BUT incongruously it's actually a tropical fruit scent, reminiscent of that green tropical 'Quosh' cordial you used to get in the 1970s.
A red plastic 'Old Spice' deodorant. The label says 'Old Spice' followed by 'WOLFTHORN' and underneath that 'Scent of wild citrus'.

Ooh, look at that keyboard. Smack someone in the head with that baby and they're staying down.
An office guy getting smacked violently about the head with a computer keyboard by a colleague (James McAvoy) Blood is leaking from his mouth and several loose keys are flying around. A still from the film 'Wanted' (2008).
