Not Him (nor the Other One)

Just a happy-go-lucky scamp who tries to cope with the insanity and inanity of this world. Politics: far-centrist. Rejoiner. Democratic civic nationalist.

Fallor, ergo sum.

I was a little surprised. I solved them all and had to decide which was purple and somehow guessed right.

I cannot get my results page to display correctly. I cannot scroll and access the rest of the page. Annoying.

Thanks. Well, the 70s were rather formative for me so I found it an easy set to spot.

A glorious photo. I don't know why, but all photos of animals staring into a camera up close make me smile (unless they scare the shit out of me, that is).

I don't use FB or I would investigate. Do you know who is behind The European Race page?

He's a lovely chap, just perfect for Farage.

His being a front for a syndicate (because he's not a very good gambler) does raise questions in my mind on just how successful these syndicates can be, and, ahem, why. Obviously I'm not suggesting anything underhand ever goes on.

In fact no. I checked after I'd finished and I had no words left.

Just last week I was extolling Pujol's virtues to some friends. It was after a regular full breakfast event at which impressive portions of bubble & squeak were also served.

An excellent film (and RIP Rossiter).
