16. In the “couldn’t imagine anything worse” category, no?
What would possess a human bean to actually go down to that on a hot day to bathe in other people’s body fluids, then fry to a state of lobsterhood, whilst being poisoned by sun lotion (see recent posts)?

DAD translation:
A slap in the face for Macron? By Brigette?
Hanoi, a video of Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron exiting the plane is going viral: was it a squabble, a knowing gesture, or a blow to the face?
In Vietnam, images of the first lady appearing to punch Emmanuel Macron in the face before getting off the plane have sparked numerous comments. The images filmed on the evening of Sunday, May 25, 2025, by the American news agency Associated Press at Hanoi Airport in Vietnam are making the rounds online. They show the door of the president’s plane opening and the silhouette of Emmanuel Macron appearing, still inside the aircraft. At that moment, two arms appearing to be those of his wife appear, though we can’t see her in full, and she quickly brings her hands to the president’s face, in what may have looked like a small blow.
The ‘hands’ appear to be wearing a bright red jacket.
What was Brigette wearing when she descended – a bright red jacket.

“We’ve largely lost the South African contingent”
Soon to become part of your US readership?
He must have known I was about to write this post item on South Africa … plus I had a discussion with MMutR about it.
Right … much of what I write here comes from an Afrikaner I met, plus Chuckles and haiku from Zwazulu Natal, plus Chessalee in brolls over to the right.
The thing which surprised me was we’re apparently not to call them Boers but Afrikaner, according to the English speaking South African. Thus, it seems the ANC hate and wish to kill the Boer (spoken pejoratively as it was that lot who were rough on the blacks). They also had a war with the English which the latter called the Boer War.
There are four groups … the Afrikaner, the English speaking whites, the Zulus … over in Natal, Durban, Joburg, over that way … and then the troublemaking savages. These are Bantu in origin, coming into the area after the Europeans were already there, they speak Xhosa and are the second largest ethnic group, after the Zulus.
Now, the Brits were silly marching into the Rorke’s Drift thing as the Zulu are not particularly antagonistic and that battle was a show of strength and later mutual respect. In fact, Rorke’s drift was quite unnecessary … an ego trip for the commander.
So, in this whole situation, who then are the lowlifes, the psycho savages? The Bantu of course, just like a certain death cult in the middle-east, now spreading across the world. Live in peace and harmony? Not a chance … genocide of all others not them, atrocities, mass underage rape etc. Examples include Winnie Mandela and her love of necklacing her victims, Nelson and his mass murdering ways … and you see the legacy today, which DJT pointed out.
Strangely, the Bantu are not chanting kill the English speakers … it’s kill the Boers … for now.
Some Afrikaners have taken up Donny’s offer but the overwhelming mood is : “It’s our land … not English, not black … why should we leave?” The sort of logic you see in the Ukraine and among the left, plus the Fenians.
Last thing is Shaka Khan … well yes, he was a bit savage.
(0800) Sky was strange … started nondescript, then low, angry Gates cloud rolled across, then cleared, to be replaced by cotton wool cumulus, to now be replaced by light, 8/8 white cover, with bright sunshine bursting through here and there … all by the end of this post. (0817)

… we could of course argue this out:
11. The Old School texts
Bemused to see Jacob Rees-Mogg described as former Minister for the C18th because I for one, despite an overall cavalier, maverick, dissident nature, went straight back to the old Scottish texts such as:
Maciver was oft criticised for not being correct, for being outdated but imho, that simply reinforced the mongrel nature of English as a language … I mean, is the Oxford comma de rigeur or is it the rule to not place a comma between the last in a list and the text following?
A decade ago, I bought one of the Old School style grammar, spelling and punctuation books (actually compiled in 2009):
Not altogether digressing but how many current day curriculum departments, heads and teachers in Britain today would still teach the old way, e.g. 20 spelling words a day, revise that lesson, then next day, plus end of the week? Or is it more important today to teach LGBheebeegeebee and Hamas etc. etc.?

… to a great extent, she’s a good gal, more aligned with our policy positions, though Jacob was aligned on quite a few too.
6. In the light of yet another of our chappies
… refusing (?) to euphemise certain core trigger words this morning, thereby bringing grief down on me … maybe these guidelines might help. Two immediate examples are Kran and MBrH, which are obvious within the context of the post item. As I mentioned yesterday, and intimated the day before, it brings heat directly on the site in certain ways the writer can’t see, not being in the control room as I am.
Techies would understand that the usual tactic of big firms is withdrawal of certain compositional services, once they identify ‘naughty triggers’ via algorithm, which slows and delays the composer, not unlike playing football on a field of molasses.
And it’s unnecessary as we can still get the point across using word jumbles which we’re aware of but Big Brother is not.
There is though, in the UK, an additional danger and that’s thug plod being sent in, a la Lucy C. In this post item, therefore, the only trigger was Lucy C. Why be so undefended? Mainly as everyone in punditry writing and reading is speaking of her, even DJT.
Plus that is not directly naming the naughty group and its trappings which Bring Home the Sausages loves so much.
Had to smile at one item at NOWP where one group of destructive, naughty people are targetting another by defacing pictures of female Marxists (nutters, women haters) … wonder if they’ll do the same with St George of Fentanyl.

a) Terrorism at Nice. A press release published this Sunday claimed responsibility for setting fire to an electrical substation and sabotaging an electricity pylon was in order to “disrupt the Cannes Film Festival.”
b) The Ribera neighborhood of Barcelona awoke to dismay this Thursday. The feminist mural recently painted on Carrer de la Bòria was vandalized in a way that worried residents.
c) A targeted burglary, still rare but increasingly a problem. Two ultrasound machines were stolen from the Charras medical imaging center located on Rue de Bitche in Courbevoie.
d) Last April, John Tolan, American Professor Emeritus at Nantes University and renowned historian, found himself at the center of a controversy launched in the newspaper Le Figaro by Florence Bergeaud-Blackler.

Unherdables has sufficient numbers of US readers to warrant a special post item, as does France and downunder (Aus/NZ) plus the old Canada. We don’t have many Germans, Spanish, Italians … sadly, we’ve largely lost the South African contingent … then there’s a smattering of other nationalities … possibly Hispanic?
Most readers are British Isles and North America as a whole.
