Flat Bag

"Corkscrew, hello boys, close the door," Roy taught us. "Party date, tool bag, flat bag," HG announced.

And then there were "Russians with landing problems" - for every Russian entered in the program with connotations of space exploration and the Cold War the inspiration for the humour.

"Battered sav, crazy date, spinning off the flute, twinkle in the sparkling position." I laugh as I type. "Goose - we haven't seen one of those ...," they concluded.

"Citius, Altius, Fortius – Communiter"

Some thoughts are better left as thoughts.

Some thoughts that form into opinions can be considered gratuitous when another perspective ought to be discussed, but the provocation does more harm than good.Alas social media may not be the best place to persuade.

"Faster, Higher, Stronger" has been the Olympic motto since 1896.
