@ww2historygal.bsky.social It's priceless now, they've got Trump, Sheinbaum and Carney lined up like they're in a dodgy gameshow! I wish you could get our commentary, it's an hilarious miss take on the BBC!!

@ww2historygal.bsky.social As a personal aside during all the years I played football I had to accept living with mysteriously becoming 'Johnny'. I learned to accept it as a quirk of football.
Cut to tonight and FIFA President Gianna Infantino comes out and Trump calls him 'Johnny'...

@ww2historygal.bsky.social I hope you're watching the World Cup draw? Imagine the fun next year! U.S.A vs England? Scotland? Maybe even, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland if they qualify! Trust me it's great fun cheering for everybody! Ok, we don't cheer for the Germans or Argentina...

@ww2historygal.bsky.social I just watched a video about the history of blackcurrants in the U.S. Is it true you don't have Ribena and blackcurrant jam everywhere you shop? Having patches of purplish blackcurrant skin is pretty much a stage of childhood here.

You've got to admit that funnelling a billion through the BBC to our inside man at the White House to complete our 1812 renovation plans, disguised as a ballroom, could only have come from the land of the Bond villain.
That type of long term plan needs a nation with thousands of years of history.

@ww2historygal.bsky.social Can't believe I watched both of the NFL games they screened over here yesterday and neither was the one where they booed and 'waved' at Trump.

@ww2historygal.bsky.social There's nothing funny about what's happening in Jamaica and the Caribbean right now, best wishes and hope to all.
However...headlines like 'Melissa Wreaks Havoc' and 'Is Melissa a threat to the US?' have caused one (yep, showing off some Englishness) to giggle a little.

@ww2historygal.bsky.social Happy Halloween! I confess I had no idea about it during my childhood but Bonfire Night was second only to Christmas. I think it was the Halloween movie (which at 10 I couldn't watch) and ET which started to unwrap it.

@ww2historygal.bsky.social Does a guy building a ballroom on top of a bunker remind you of anyone? Waving around little models of the city he's planning? Sending out men to pick up ethnic groups? Putting them in camps? Picking fights with neighbouring countries?
A man like that must be stopped.

@ww2historygal.bsky.social I think I've come up with a plan to get you to England! Put up an England flag and walk around moaning about the weather with a Downton Abbey accent. Sit outside with a pot of tea and play Rule Britannia loudly.

@ww2historygal.bsky.social So Trump is taking out ANTIFA. Looking forward to him dealing with the White Witch in Narnia, not to forget Sauron in Mordor. Surely there is a shuttle on standby for the approach of the Death Star?
Sadly I worry that Venezuelan fishermen are a real thing.
