What will James Bond do once all the anti crash technology is fitted to transit vans and all new cars? No ramming into farm gateways or smashing cars off the road if the brakes are applied automatically. Such a bind for the spy about town

The thing with calling Lake Ontario Lake America is that firstly it reduces useful information (ie Lake America is not close to the Gulf of America) secondly you can’t now call something else Lake America. Why didn’t he call it Lake Trump? Or is that next?

I find it annoying that companies "drop" new products, not "launch" them. In the recent past if you dropped a product that meant you stopped supplying it rather than started. This is why old documents are hard to read even in your native tongue. Some words mean the opposite now.

Can someone be a politician and do the best for their nation and yet be penalised for past actions about other nations? Just turning that over in my mind.

Don’t get enthralled by the psychodrama of an old man over the sea. He’s stuck in the 1980s
