Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Oh that's excellent!! Good luck today
ReplyDeleteHmmm. We'll see.
DeleteLove it and so true!
ReplyDeleteAt least Starmer is already a Vegetarian.
DeleteThat's about right!
ReplyDeleteYup. And is a warning to all.
DeleteThe people's flag is deepest red,
ReplyDeleteIt shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Further to YO's comment,
DeleteThe working class can kiss my arse
I got the foreman's job at last. You can tell old Joe I'm off the dole}} He can stick his Red Flag up his 'ole!}}
Sorry, not 'YO', 'YP'!
ReplyDeleteI know who you meant. He's one of the few remaining old-school Lefties. They've mostly moved to the right these days, and would rather sing 'Land of Hope and Glory' than 'The Red Flag'.
DeleteHahaha ..... I feel that things are going to get a lot worse ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteSadly so, but those who are voting for them don't care! We'll survive.
DeleteThanks YP and Col I think that sums up our dilemma beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYup!
DeleteGreat cartoon! Works for us here in the US too...
ReplyDeleteI would say 'around the world'.
DeleteJonathan Pie brilliant!
ReplyDelete?
DeleteForewarned.
ReplyDeleteAnd now wait for the disaster.
