@GillyUsborne @raggedydocs Do we really need to re-watch (time and time again?) not one but two gorgeous erudite younger men, white shirts soaked, emerging wet yet not bedraggled from a wild windswept lake? Such has never been seen in fair Westmoreland.

[Palmerston @DiploMog]

Palmerston, Diplocat extraordinaire, passed away peacefully on 12 February. “Palmy” was a special member of the Government House team in Bermuda, and a much loved family member. He was a wonderful companion, with a gentle nature, and will be sorely missed.

This is the full message the US president has sent to the Norwegian prime minister over Greenland. If Chat GPT had been asked to create a parody letter in the style of Donald Trump, could it have done any better?

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.
