¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He's just a media personality, not a politician or figurehead.

That covers quite a few people in politics, including the one about to become president of one of the most powerful countries in the world, so his words hold more sway with a large proportion of the population than those of politicians and as such he should carefully consider what he says, or maybe he does.

Some of them have had real jobs and know something of the real world, many have not. 😊

View attachment 55976View attachment 55977Beautiful cold morning on the NE Coast. 🥶☀️
Same here in South Wales, but I played yesterday 😒
As I got out of the car it registered -2. After 9 holes we skipped to play 14. My right hand was like a claw made worse by the fact that I'd dipped it in a frozen pot to retrieve my ball.
And yes I had mitts - in a drawer at home!
In the club I had to hold my pint between my two palms to lift it.
Tomorrow morning next, in pouring rain 🙄

I spent longer than 3.2 seconds looking at an amusing/cute animal post on FB and now I'm getting lots of them. The world's a better place for those, it's what the internet was made for 😊

(Currently winning is a tie between a baby highland cow and an orangutan mothering baby tigers 😍)

Playing this afternoon in the quarter final of the regional men’s singles bowls competition. If there is a downside, it’s against the current Spanish champion but I’m actually relishing the opportunity to play him. Buzzing!

It wasn’t to be. A very tight game which, sadly, I made an error of judgement on the 26th end knocking one of his woods in when I was holding 3… clumsy schoolboy error.

Many moons ago we had a teambuild at a centre that had, amongst several other sports, bowls.
I had a knock on a driving range and looked pretty good compared to my colleagues and was convinced my lady colleagues were admiring me 😎
Then we moved on to bowls. The instructor asked who'd played before and I raised my hand as I'd played many years before. He explained the technique re bias and I waited patiently.
Time to start, I volunteered to go first as everyone was nervous.
I released my bowl and watched it career over to the next rink.
I had the bias reversed! 🫣😅
I took some stick in the bar that night!
