That may well be part of his off and on threats, a design to hurt China. He really doesn't behave like any sensible/normal politician wanting to clinch some kind of deal. Everything he does is overreacting or underreacting, hot or cold. It all...

Posted on Mon, 08 Jun 2026
Never has such an unnecessary and counterproductive war been waged by such an important nation?! They didn't seem to think they would need to negotiate with anyone from Iran, but they lost the war and found themselves having to negotiate to...

Posted on Sun, 12 Apr 2026
This was great! You had me laughing as soon as you mentioned 'dynamic pricing'! And even more when I found the human workers had been replaced by robots. You dealt with all these speculative issues really well. As we enter our Brave New World,...

Great poem! There is truth
Posted on Fri, 09 Jan 2026
Great poem! There is truth and warning in every line! It is very worrying. Indeed 'The tables have' unfortunately 'turned - the world's been sold a pup'! It's true 'they're killing poor Whiteys now.' Very well put!

Your thoughts on these phones
Posted on Sun, 11 Jan 2026
Your thoughts on these phones are so true. We are becoming very dependent on them aren't we. I can use it as a torch, and found I put off for quite a long time getting a new battery and strap for my watch, because I could use my phone. What will...

Posted on Fri, 14 Nov 2025
You have brought your memories of Glasgow in 1978 to life. I enjoyed reading this, a great way for us to peer into someone's life and past! My mother had Australian friends who lived in Glasgow at that time, and I remember visiting for Christmas...
