TRUMP

[Rajan Parrikar]

At sunrise today in Las Vegas. More here.

Here in the UK, 'to trump' refers to the ejection of noxious bodily gases. Just sayin'. :-)

Never knew that one; must have been away too long!

I didn't like the Trump effect re. golf courses in Scotland and attempts to force owners off land they didn't want to sell; however, I have no problem with the concept of walls: I'd build some here too, every summer, if I could! Exactly in the same way that I'd ban hire-cars and bloody Lycramen and Lycrawomen - well, maybe not the latter. But their bloody bikes, yes. A thousand times yes. They are worse this year than ever before. Somebody is going to get killed, and the car driver will be crucified. Inevitable: bikes bring in money and nothing else counts in the twinned worlds of travel and the lowest common denominator of tourism.

Thanks, Rajan. Now I see where his hair style comes from.

Very interesting, Nomen est omen.

My grandfather used the term, so less about being away too long, and more a matter of not being old enough :-)

Now, that is going to make Rob's day!

About as big as his ego?

Too late, Slobodan: the day's already been made. I got up early(ish) in order to get myself down to Palma to see the watch off on its way to its holiday in Geneva (therapy: it's not been feeling itself of late; a bit sluggish...) when I glanced at the calendar: it would appear to be L'Ascensió (marked in red) and so there may be a good chance of parking difficulties and even a closed shop (down, stamper, not that sort) which would mean a pointless hour spent getting there, followed by as dreary another returning home. So I decided to think about it tomorrow instead! There are benefits to retirement after all.
