Amusing Items

If you'd seen an interview this morning on Good Morning Britain with a young Australian woman who lost part of an arm and leg to a shark attack you might not find that so amusing. Particularly as she made the decision to give up her left arm, because she is right handed, in a successful bid to fight off the shark.

Certainly getting wall-to-wall coverage. Trying to watch the news hour on ITV - ER, switch to BBC -ER, Sky News - ER. Off switch and check this site and sausages. Argh!

I hate the modern world. I'd be very happy to go back about 20 years, the future looked much brighter then.

A little further back and "The future's bright, the future's Orange" (A reference to a mobile phone provider, for those too young to remember).
Yeah, we got an orange future and it ain't so bright -Trump!

Word reaches me that Jeffrey Archer negotiated a fixed price deal for his funeral. We don't know what the actual cost is, but it will be not a penny more, not a penny less.

Iran’s embassy in Ghana has taken a sarcastic swipe at US President Donald Trump over his repeated claims about having a high IQ. In a post on Tuesday, the embassy mocked Trump by writing: “Trump’s IQ is extremely high; to be precise, it is 404.”

Even the most ardent haters of the European Parliament have to give them kudos for this.

1791453102826.png The Orange Plague is a 2026 sculpture by the Danish artist Jens Galschiøt. The work features a naked U.S. President Donald Trump in 23 carat gold leaf, sitting on a smaller person's shoulders. It drew widespread international attention after having been installed in the lobby of the European Parliament building
A plaque beneath the statue reads:

"I am sitting on the back of a man.He is sinking under my burden I will do anything to help him.Except stepping down from his back.—The King of Injustice."
The statue is 2.6m tall. It holds a large golf club (golf is a passion of Donald Trump, who is known in part for his golf courses), a set of scales (symbolizing justice), and a golf ball modeled to look like planet Earth.
 
Sadly the new presenters are not a good fit for TIMC. Only recently found out that Brian Cox has been hosting another programme/podcast called A Question of Science. So far find that very dry and boring, more in the style of In Our Time but not as well done. Meanwhile back on TIMC Adam Rutherford is struggling to carry his co-presenter who adds little. Adam is much better than this on other programmes/podcasts he presents. In another part of the loosely based science wood Hannah and Dara are back with another series of Curious Cases ...

... which leaves The Question of the Curious Case of the Interesting Missing Comedian ... where for art thou Robin?
