JUST FOR A LAUGH
SOPPY SUNDAY
I’ve taken over from the dorangutans today. Munguin has given them a holiday for a couple of hours. As you can see, I don’t have a red nose, so I’m not Rudolph.
2. I’m a blue heron.
3. I don’t know why I cannot be a dorcat.
4. I’m a very clever bird. I could have been a dorcrow, but I decided against it. Munguin is a hard animal to please.
5. If you were wondering what Ireland looks like, then this is it… so now you know.
6. Get your smelly orange hands off this special and beautiful country, Bone Spurs.
7. This is not an invitation to treat.
8. Busy at work, even though it is Christmas weekend.
9. Shhh, don’t wake us up. We’re not busy at work.
10. It’s a bit warm with all this hair. Do I look like Mick Jagger?
11. Are you animals humans? I just started learning that not every living thing is an elephant.
12. It’s good to get some time off and have a snack.
13. I’m visiting the Towers from Shetland.
14. Good news for penguins.
15. Off to a new forever home.
16. This is worrying.
17. I’m just prowling around looking for fun.
18. Hopefully the figures are right.
18. You need to do a U-turn, Silly Siale.
20. That’s it then. Last half-day off till easter!
With thanks to Quokka.

TRUMP IS TALKING RUBBISH, AGAIN
Comment on LinkedIn by Danish military strategyst and naval captain Mr. Alexander Witt who is half Greenlandic:
The US does not need Greenland for security reasons. In 1951 Denmark and the US signed a treaty allowing the US to construct bases in Greenland. Thousands of American troops arrived during the Cold War. 17 bases were constructed. The treaty still stands.
After the Cold War, most of the bases were closed and most of the American soldiers went home. Not because they were forced to by Denmark (or Greenland which had now become a part of the treaty). The American soldiers went home because America wanted to save money.
If Trump wants to build new bases and send more troops to Greenland, all he has to do is ask. Though the treaty has been updated, it still allows for US presence in Greenland should Greenland and Denmark agree. As good allies, Greenland and Denmark would probably say yes. We have done so before.
Rather than threatening and bullying allies, Trump could almost certainly get what he wants through respectful diplomacy.
Also, the Russian and Chinese ships that Trump says are “all over the place” in Greenland are not there. In fact, there are relatively few ships in and around Greenland of any kind. The increasing Russian and Chinese activity in the Arctic is in Russian waters – on the other side of the North Pole. If Trump wants to change that he will need to own Russia, not Greenland.
**********
So, what you really want is to own all the vast minerals, some very rare, that Greenland has, and which are becoming easier to source now that global warming is melting the ice ever faster. You greedy, grasping, grifting, nasty old whatsit.

And yes, that is a genuine photo, not photoshopped and fact checked.

Munguin and the staff at the Towers wishes everyone a happy peaceful day and to Munguinites who have been unwell recently, a speedy recovery.
TO SEE OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE US
***********
An abomination is something that inspires intense disgust, hatred or moral revulsion, something, person, or act considered vile, wicked, or extremely offensive, often with religious or deeply cultural connotations of horror and sin, like cruelty or forbidden practices
I’d say that killing an animal for fun is an abomination. I’d go so far as to say that I consider it perverted, to draw pleasure from the terrified suffering and subsequent horrific death of another animal.
So, if you consider the banning of it to be an abomination, either you don’t know what the word means or you are, in my opinion, a pervert.
And then there is this
I’d gladly be estranged from Farage or Starmer.

AWWWW!
Do you not?
Here’s a solution, Mr Ambassador. Tell the senile, draft dodging, racist, rapist, insurrectionist cheat to behave like a human being, if like behaving like a president is too difficult for him.
Tell him to stop interfering in things he doesn’t understand. Tell him to get his filthy little hands off Greenland. Tell him to stop waging war on his own people from Democratic states.
Tell him to stop stealing Venezuelan oil and killing their fishermen. And tell him to stop degrading women journalist by calling them stupid and “piggy”
He’s destabilizing the entire world with his senile ramblings.
If he tried to behave like a normal person, I doubt if we would like him. That would seem like an impossibility. But we might stop telling you what a complete and utter disaster he and his administration is.
Rein him in before he starts world war three.

Munguin’s thanks to AndiMac (who’s still suffering from this dreadful flu) and Sidney. Sorry about the overabundance of Trump jokes. It seems the only thing that people are laughing about this week, which is a bit unfair to Fagash Nigel, I feel.
