I just had a look at yesterday’s post and the first thing I noticed was that I’m an idiot. November 20th 2020 isn’t a palindrome. November 20th 2002 was a palindrome – 20.11.02 rather than 20.11.20. Ah well, I look like an idiot but there’s no harm done as you knew that anyway.
There are worse things than being an idiot – politician, polygamist or parasite would all be worse, though including both politician and parasite is dangerously close to tautology. I have nothing personal against polygamists, by the way, I just wouldn’t want to be one. One wife is more than enough. If you have the fortitude to cope with multiple wives, good luck to you.
It’s the same with bigamists. If they have the organisational skills to run multiple lives we need them to run the country as most of the current clowns can’t even run one life, let alone a government. Bigamists should be cherished rather than punished.
And with that thought, and the correction made, I will leave you for now. The fire is burning, Sharpe is on TV and Julia has gone to buy doughnuts…
mmmmmm donuts!
They were very good, though I find myself wondering more and more if I really ought to be eating them… 🙁
Always a good question to ponder but I find that eating cakes and biscuits sharpens the mind so I keep at it.
It’s a good thought. I will explain it to Julia next time she questions my waistline.
Oh, I am reading your posts backwards. I am also an idiot, because I accepted your palindrome offering without judgement or actual thinking. So we ALL missed the palindrome date 18 years ago . . . I guess that’s about par for the course.
Yes, sorry about that, but see my previous reply for the good news! 🙂
Enjoy the doughnuts and good life, Simon and Julia! We try to enjoy our lives here in spite of current events, but the national and international news some days can make one feel unusually tired and discouraged.
This morning was good, but the afternoon was even better – I am now using my new computer. 🙂
funny and sadly true!
“There are worse things than being an idiot – politician, polygamist or parasite would all be worse, though including both politician and parasite is dangerously close to tautology”.
I find laughing at them takes some of the sting out of the constant betrayal,.
Good idea!!!1 ❤️🤣🤣🙏

I’ve only had one wife at a time
You clearly have many admirable qualities as a husband. (If Jackie wishes to reply to this, I’m sure we are all interested…)
I’ll see what she has to say 🙂
🙂 Will it be repeatable?
The wife says “He just needs somebody to look after him, the idiot” – but she did know it would be published.
It could have been a lot worse. Julia also employs the word idiot when talking about me. I blame Germaine Greer…
🙂

One spouse, whatever the gender, is certainly enough. 😉 That last paragraph sure sounds like the good life.
🙂 They were excellent doughnuts, made a little more piquant by guilt.
