Harold Wilson - kept us out of Vietnam despite pressure from the good old boys in the White House. A low bar admittedly but no body bags is a good thing.
Suella Braverman calling Emily Thornberry a Leninist in the HofC today, feck me I thought that I’d fallen through the looking glass, real parallel dimension stuff. What are these people smoking?
When I worked for a short time in IBM after leaving uni in the early 90s, there was a woman who allegedly wore the same pair of tights for the week - she was known as ....... the empress ming.
Underworld by Don DeLillo - did not enjoy this at all. A rambling, sprawling mess that got nowhere slowly, not the "Great American Novel" as promised on the cover. 2/10
Now onto "The Young Team" by Graeme Armstrong.
Saw " The Many Saints of Newark" on Sunday night, good addition to the Sopranos story. Only gripe would be that the New Jersey police didn't seem interested in the various murders/running gun battles in the street. Still a solid 7/10 and it was good to be back in the cinema.
Worked with a guy who used to valet cars for him in the 70s, interesting stories of cleaning copious amounts of blood from the back seats when they were collecting money lending debts, he also found a few finger tips (allegedly)
I used to give my youngest dog's abuse for using scissors, lo and behold we go to Rome on holiday and the first pizza place we go to scissors are used. She has dined out on this for some years now.
