Beat me to it, Drew. I was just thinking that the flounder as a bairn looks even more repugnant than he does now. I’ve been absent from here for a few days, apart from supplying Tris with various bits and pieces (the curse of the drinking classes strikes again) and I come back to distasteful images like this. Ugh!
Mind you, there was some compensation in the others. No idea who they are, but where was No 10 in my younger days, or the once-shapely No 7? Back in Scotland pre-covid obviously, I bumped into a girl I hadn’t seen since schooldays when she was a piece of very much all right and we had a brief but memorable fling. Fast forward 50 years and if we hadn;t been introduced I’d never have recognised her.
A granny type! About twice the original size and looking like an escapee from a home-cooking ad. To be fair, a bright-eyed and smiling granny, but such a change?? To be fair, I wonder what she thought of me. Bloody hell, I’d never have known Mac. All grey beard and grey hair, but tanned and leathery and looking like a swarthy refugee from a boatload of North African asylum-seekers in the Med.
Despite all that, a most enjoyable reunion with lots of laughs and fond memories. It would be great to catch up with more of the Teuchter diaspora from these long-gone days.

As for the shapely No 7, well, I suspect she might have been, in your youth, a bit old for you. She is, I seem to recall, 94 these days.
Maybe Arlene is a bit more in your age group… I’m not sure what teuchters are called in Ireland. I hear she may be looking for a job soon. Maybe she could be handmaiden to the RS?

But on the subject of Cat Stevens, I do know something. About 20 years or so ago, a friend of mine worked for a TV production company which had an interview lined up with Mr Stevens. The director, camera guy and sound guy were male and the PA was female. Cat Stevens welcomed the men, shook hands with them and ignored the woman, not even looking at her. She said later that she wouldn’t have been all that concerned if the guy had just arrived from a traditional hill village in Afghanistan but she found it rude and unconvincing given that Cat Stevens was a Londoner. Erdogan’s recent treatment of Ursula von der Leyen brought the Cat Stevens episode back to mind: two big city guys pretending to be from the backwoods. What’s that all about?

Hell £5800 for a chair, add a wee bit and you could get a new car with 4 seats.

I’ve been asking on Twitter if they could publish a table of what donations buy from the Tories.
For £58,000 you can get a £100 m + contract, so that’s good business. £42,000 profit right away!
I want to know what it is for a Lordshipness. I mean it would save queueing at restaurants for service. “I say, my good man, do you realise you are talking to Lord Price-Williams?”

I tried to verify that Meatloaf was once referred to as “Mr. Loaf” in the pages of the New York Times, in conformance to The Times’ much revered…….and ridiculed…….style manual. Apparently the Mr. Loaf story is apocryphal, but I found this interesting old article about language issues and the Times style manual. It might be of interest, if it will open in Scotland and its paywall can be penetrated. (I think you still get ten free Times articles per month per browser…..at least in the States.)
Fascinating article (for nerds like me), Danny.
