10. Moosh corner
9. Jawdropping from IYE
Donny is nuts. IMO. Teflon Tony’s appointment proved it for me.
“DT names Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, Marc Rowan to advise “Board of Peace”
Two out of those three can get knotted and at this rate take Donny with them:
JH: What the hell is Trump doing? It’s Wiles and Bondi all over again … but worse. He has no idea whatever … is he totally unaware of how the people here see Blair, satan’s little demon? Or else DJT is totally aware and is in league with the bad players?
Or is he desperately trying, like Farage, to be one of the Big Boys’ Club?
IYE notes: Some Arab nations have refused to accept Bleurgh on the board. (Plus storm approaching in France it seems … weather type.)
8. Tale of a tiny door
7. (Cough … yes)
10. Moosh corner – Titanic had 14 lifeboats, 2 emergency cutters and 4 collapsible:
4 “collapsible” Engelhardt lifeboats. These were effectively boat-shaped unsinkable rafts of kapok and cork, with heavy canvas sides that could be raised to form a boat. They measured 27 ft 5 in (8.36 m) long by 8 ft (2.4 m) wide by 3 ft (0.91 m) deep. Their capacity was 376.6 cubic feet (10.66 m3) and each could carry 47 people. The Engelhardts, built to a Danish design, were built by the boatbuilders McAlister & Son of Dumbarton, Scotland – Lifeboats of the Titanic | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifeboats_of_the_Titanic
A and B collapsible washed away when the ship sank leaving only C and D, one of which is seen in the photograph provided by Moosh.

JH: Wow!
