Morning all
MB had busy week. Brain bit tired and lethargic. MB has no clue what will come out of his brain this morning as he sips fresh Florida juice. But did you ‘DHL it’ from Florida MB? as Crosser TH threw at MB few weeks back. No. MB did not courier the liquid from the Sunshine State. So in fairness the word ‘fresh’ may be tad exaggerated. But it’s got lots of the pulpy bits and it’s tasty and MB is happy to be sipping. MB is too full from last night’s dinner to be bothered with breakfast, so the juice will suffice. Last night’s dinner was a rare treat. MB got invited to the house of Palestinian friend U No Hu, along with an Indian and Brit friends. Read More

Happy new year Crossers!
The Gods are certainly providing a test in the early days. Storms blowing Ireland all over the place. There’s a real danger the country could literally move across the Irish sea and join physically with Great Britain. Would be lots of head scratching on all sides of the political spectrum if that ever came to pass. Read somewhere in recent days – man struggles because he takes seriously what the Gods only made for fun. So attaching Ireland to Wales and the East coast of England would provide much hilarity, if the Gods are up for some more mischief. Read More
