It's like this. There were two glorious revolutions, but the Brits only celebrate the one in 1688, not the one in 1776.

And yet New York is named for the loser of the glorious revolution of 1688. History is strange.

Dennis, it's getting dangerous here in old blighty. Should we all stay home? Who do we blame?

Over in Canada a woman was arrested for not holding on to the handrail on an escalator!

One Londoner went all Tuscany on a terrorist, and he didn't even look Italian. I suppose you could say he whaled on the baddie.

If you read the Sherlock Holmes books, you will find back then that gentlemen in London always carried a piece when they went about in public. I guess you can't do that anymore over there.

In Winnipeg, someone stole a fire truck and tried to run people over. The Times They Are A Changin'

A narwhal tusk and a fire extinguisher. They were "carrying" all right!

I've been given the old brush-off by women many times.

ooh this looks good, Bond is Back (again) and the Aston Martin too (bites fist), can't wait.

hmm you testy droogs excited or bored of this franchise too?

 

[Ruz-El]

Much like a Marvel/DC/Whatever, I'll watch the Bond eventually and I'm sure I'll like it.

You know what was good? Ken Burns 8 part documentary on Country Music called "Country Music". I'm not a big fan of the genre, but man, it was so good! Great stories are great stories and this one is packed full of them. It ends bonkers when they get to Garth Brooks. I still can;t believe it. Fun!

 

[Walter Kittel]

Never, ever get bored with James Bond. Even the weaker entries in the franchise still manage to entertain.

Yeah Russell - Your thoughts on Ken Burns latest work pretty much mirror mine. Not a big fan of the genre, but a great series with some wonderful insights, interviews and stories.

I've seen nearly everything Burns has done and haven't been disappointed. I actively detest Baseball, but am thinking of re-watching his series on the game!

Watching Jazz and Country Music, you pretty much have a complete history of American culture.

So the voting is Thursday, right?

 

[Steve Christou]

Dennis, voting day is on thursday. But Johnson hasn't got a lock. It will be close. If Johnson loses there won't be a Brexit.
Will Friday the 13th be lucky or the dawn of power cuts, union strikes, gloom and doom? Vlad will be tuning in I'm sure.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Are you allowed to vote according to "Chicago Rules"?

Or is that only in "rotten boroughs"? Do they even have those anymore?

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

It appears that the Brits have outdone the Chicago Rules. Not only the dead can vote: so can the pets.

 

[Steve Christou]

Chicago rules, Dennis? It's D-Day today in Brexitland. Polling Day. Day of Decision.

Can we trust Boris? Nope. But he's the only one who can take us out of the EU.

The tabby's have spoken

[Dennis Nicholls]

I am surprised that the Manchester Guardian would expose such a practice.

I suppose I should call it the London Guardian now but old habits die hard.

My cat named Maggie is of course a terrifically talented Tory tabby, being named for Maggie Thatcher.

Steve: Chicago rules includes but is not limited to the following:

1) Vote early and often
2) Make sure your dead relatives vote
