Who Wears Short Shorts on the Block


Midsummer and I spotted some frost on the ground while doing my early morning rounds of the property!

I haven't really been able to avoid the World Cup on TV, but is it just me or has football fashion gone full circle in terms of the amount of leg that's shown? Today's shorts wouldn't be out of place in 1909. By comparison, the shorts of the 70s were positively obscene and could be viewed as conducive to up-shorting.


We hear lots of talk about trade blocs. Why on earth do we use the French word bloc, when the English word block has the same meaning, and indeed more meanings? It's not as if the French invented the trade bloc. Realpolitik can be excused, as a German invented the term and we have no equivalent, unless you want to use Power Politics.

Mrs May is apparently mooting a Ukraine-style association with the EU. Does that mean she's open to Russia invading Scotland? So that's where the Leave.EU money came from...

A stark, but unsurprising YouGov daily survey result from a couple of days ago:

Given that this was such a big agenda item for ukip prior to the referendum on leaving the EU it is surprising to me that there are 1 in 4 ukip voters who either couldn't make their mind up in this pole or who didn't care.
