* This crossed my mind when I was having a dip this morning. I did some more paving work, spreading lime chips and then, when it got too hot went across the road and into the water. As I floated about I thought how nice it was and what a wonderful run of good weather we are having. It's not the concept 'Nearer My God To Thee' that's silly as nature is great and it's nice to have the opportunity to appreciate the best of it. It's the 'god' thing that's silly.
As I floated on my back, looking up at the sky I saw a vapour trail from an aircraft and the saying' 'Nearer My God To Thee' suddenly took on a sinister connotation. What if that was a Russian long range bomber coming to bomb me? Me! All because our government has threatened Putin with sanctions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
When asked for comment on the invasion of Kiev, Robert The Most Unchristian Catholic Guy said:
"I'm in disbelief why anyone, apart from those living nearby, give a toss. I'm concerned with the health of my wife. Earning enough to pay the bills. Keeping up my daily prayers. Saving enough to pay my taxes.
How do people find time to be concerned with these minor events in another city?"

Cur atheus, frater socialismi?
I really think that the "Bomber" was a Russian spy plane and Curmudgeon was holding an infrared waterproof device and pointing it at the Marsden oil refinery for targeting.
I really think that Robert's been playing too many of those teenage video games.
