I’m all out of inspiration for the rest of this opening post. Send the St Bernard with the brandy please.

Scary stuff, given the situation with Syria I'm stockpiling toilet rolls.

All the important stuff. Grin

Oh I kind of got you on the previous thread, Disgrace – but mostly because I know your posts a bit. 'Twas a bit cryptic to those who didn't, obviously.

Brew to have with our Aeros (which should be started immediately – god forbid we wait till an emergency and then don't get to eat them Shock.)

What the hell is wrong with the man and more importantly what is wrong with those around him that they haven't tied him up and gagged him ready to be carted off.

I have 9 rolls of loo roll and one easter egg. That's not enough. Fortunately I have enough booze and meds to kill us off before the bombs do. I'll hold off on those for the moment though.....

Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

"If we think of fascism as a wound from the past that had almost healed, putting Trump in the White House was like ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab. I think Trump is the most undemocratic president I have ever seen in American history."

I have to say I’m getting seriously worried at all this sabre rattling. When Putin seems like the saner one you know you’re in shit. If the USA do fire missiles and Russia attacks American ships like it says it will surely this will lead to all out war?

cozietoesie · 11/04/2018 13:15

It almost feels like it, Lweji, doesn't it?

cozietoesie · 11/04/2018 13:17

Just wait and see, MrsTyler. Who can tell.

'Our Aeros' Perking ? Hmm
(Maybe I'm not cut out for communal shelter life.)

I will bring chocolate enough for all ohmy.

Lweji · 11/04/2018 13:34

Putin mad he isn't.

Maybe not as clever as he seems sometimes, but not mad.

Lweji · 11/04/2018 13:35

I'll stick to my flavoured seasonal chocolate almonds.

If anyone wonders if he'll go there - he goes there.

Paul Ryan is not seeking re-election in 2018 midterm according to the Independent.

Sorry x-post

He doesn't want to have to hand over the baton, perhaps? Grin

Lweji · 11/04/2018 14:16

I'm not sure what is worse for him. To not be elected or to have to work with Trump.
