Philip C JamesOops. Forgotten the #Ironicon.
Good Morning, all
Yesterday afternoon, as I walked through Lambridge, I saw three pre-teenage lads heading for the mighty Lambrook, a tributary of the magnificent River Avon that flows through Bath.
“Can you swim?” I shouted to the boys.
Turning to me, all answered, “Yes.”
“Faster than the sharks?” I replied.
The tallest and the shortest looked momentarily perplexed; only the middle one responded with a confident “Yes.”
Tru dat. I just thought there might be other, non-tariff, ways of hitting back at Trump that wouldn't hurt your own peeps also...
Such as?
Dunno - crop-spraying his golf courses with Agent Orange, perhaps...
The irony would be delicious
Presumably, the #AfD's Lena Kotré would accept a travel ban preventing them travelling to the Untied Kingdom with perfect sanguinity - it being a cardinal assumption of all nativist, nationalist, racist far right activists that sovereign countries may, indeed must, control their borders, reserving the right to refuse to admit foreigners threatening violence or suspected of violent proclivities...
Over to you, Home Secretary...
Good Morning, all
We're all aware one should fear those ancient Greek mythological beings, the Furies but less well known is the damage that can be wreaked by their sisters, the Ironies...
Their latest effort? The delicious irony of seeing German-built Panzers winning the Second Battle of Kursk.
Good Morning, all
Awoke to a radio news report that Team GB has reached the finals of the Cocksless Fours.
Surely political correctness has gone too far?
As you might have gathered, I'm not an Olympics Enthusiast.
According to a French exile's article in The New European it's hard to find many Parisians who are. Marie le Conte told an anecdote about a friend who lives in the restricted zone who applied for a permit that was refused. She must stay in her flat for August or leave!
For Reference (from 2017):
Sarah Clarke is the first female Black Rod in 650 years.

So Sir Bradley Wiggins has felt #ImpostorSyndrome for his contributions to sport and cycling, #R4Today.
It's noteworthy that you did not mention any Members of Parliament in your list of people who have admitted to feeling Impostor Syndrome.
Which is ironic, because hardly any of our MPs deserve the 'K's they have received, usually for sucking up to the man (or woman) who hands out the gongs - the PM.
High time we reformed our #DishonoursSystem.
