I'll send him my letter from Cadbury's chocolate that thanked me for my entry and awarded me a box of chocolate Neapolitans won in primary school (age around 8 years old) Are you certain I'll get a handwritten Thank You letter imaround otherwise I'm not bothering!

Blue Peter badge maybe?

Perhaps that would stop him from suing the BBC!

Of course, I forgot that the BBC is nothing but fake news and paedophilia... Trump should really feel at home then!

TBH I can see why she made the gesture, given how Máduro was so viscerally hated by so many Venezuelans, including a neighbour of ours.

But we all know that Trump hasn’t actually won a Nobel Peace Prize at all.

Today is a bank holiday in the US to honor Martin Luther King Jr. An actual Noble Peace Prize winner.

He's going on about it in his speech tonight, he cant leave it alone. He whined, "its in the hands of Norway" whinge whinge and he cant even get that right as its an international committee.

Going on is the right word, it’s a ramble.

I saw this, too, imaround, and was pleased to see recognition for the measured response from this city, under such terrible pressure.
I suspect it will cause quite a tantrum in the White House. What might we expect - sanctions against the city/ threats to invade somewhere, anywhere/plans to cut central funding to " nasty" places?

Oh my, imaround not that really "takes the biscuit!" grin grin!!!!!!!!

Wyllow3 Wed 04-Feb-26 08:59:01

now that takes the biscuit, not "not".

Tantrums ahead.

This is wonderful.

I am going to find out if we can write in support of them winning. Because it may finally cause his blood pressure to get so high he has a stroke and must retire to wherever pedophile criminals go.

I'll just leave it at that. wink
