I think we have always been all we have ever had Renton .

I tend to think that with all we have/had, that we could be so much more...

What do the following have in common?

Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols)

Kim Cattrall (actress, in Sex In The City)

The Four Tops (R&B group)

Mats Wilander (tennis player) … have in common?

No googling

No idea       

They all missed Pan Am flight 103 that was destroyed by a bomb over Lockerbie…

Johnny Rotten missed the flight because his wife was late packing…

Kim Cattrall missed the flight because she decided to go to London to get a gift for her mother…

The Four Tops missed the flight because they were late getting out of a recording session and overslept…

Mats Wilander missed the flight having made a reservation but did not take his seat…

I have been listening to Paul Sinha’s Perfect Pub Quiz again

The Last Supper c/o Just Eat

Jesus wanted to use Deliveroo but Judas said he was flush and treated everyone - much to their amazement   

"AFTER THE PARTY ~
“Well,” said the Queen to the little bear “where do you go from here”
“I am not sure your majesty” Paddington bear answered with a tear
“You see the Browns have all grown up and gone on their separate way”
Paddington continued “I am now homeless as I have nowhere else to stay”
“Well, my little friend” the Queen replied to him “this will never do at all”
“I too am all alone you can move into my palace I’m sure we will have a ball”
The little bear looked up and asked “will there be marmalade dear Queen”
Of course, she replied “the biggest spread of sandwiches you’ve ever seen”
“And cups of tea and crockery that you can drop and I will never never mind”
The little bear replied “your majesty I accept your offer you are very very kind”

If I had kids this is exactly what I'd read to them - classic children's tales from a better time. I would never fill their heads with food banks and COVID and Ukraine. They'd live a child's life free from worry

Couldn’t agree more Renton …
