America hasn't been quite the same since it got its independence. Especially just lately. I rather think it should come under British rule once again. It should put its application in straight away. It will probably be rejected but nothing ventured nothing gained.

Look, it's only been a while since we got rid of Meghan Markle. Let us enjoy it before we get her back.

You’re welcome to her Bill.

As for the UK, it’s in complete meltdown.

We’re doomed!

Are you sure your real name isn't John Laurie? Or Fraser?

I thought the rise in UK temperatures was due to global warming, or cooling, or polar bears on ice floes, or something. Rather than meltdown.

Whatever, things have taken an upturn now that MM is back in....wherever it is.

Meanwhile Happy Fourth to One And All.

John Laurie / Private Fraser - well spotted Leo.

:D

Yes, looks like it’s all kicking off here at the moment.

P.S. the 4th of July has a different meaning in this part of the world. It’s a significant date in the calendar of the Orange Order. (Note to Bob Farmer - Bob, relax, it’s all over for another year.)

We'll do you a trade.

Meghan Markle for Prince Andrew, Piers Morgan and the entire current incompetent, lying, UK Government, that has destroyed our once great Country over the last 12 years.

I'll even throw in a Thumb Tip and a pack of Svengali Cards as freebies.

Deal?

I may be wrong but I think the 12th July is the day the Orange Order considers significant. Something to do with the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Orangemen tend to have long memories. I do know that the 12th July is when the Orangemen hold parades in Northern Ireland ending up in "the field" where speeches are made denouncing the Pope who doesn't mind a bit since he has never been invited to attend and thus doesn't hear the speeches. I used to hear the speeches though since I sold svengali decks at these events.

I stand corrected sir.

I forgot they tend to do their dressing up / marching thing for several weeks before and after the 12th July.

After all, if one has invested in a nice bowler hat one would certainly wish to get as much wear out of it as possible.
