Weather forecast for Brussels tonight is dry but koel.

The new season begins with the Junior Grand Prix circuit, live from Riga for the first weekend. Sensibly, it all seems to be on YT, rather than their own service as they have done in the past. Skating ISU - YouTube

Yeah. Although rats get a bad name, it is actually prairie dogs/marmosets who are the prime incubators of the fleas, and rats are the cheap motels of the flea world.

OK, I'm sure that this isn't anything to worry about. California is one of the richest places in the World. It's not like it's crammed full of penniless unwashed homeless people, or piles of discarded trash or infested with rats or any of the other typical vectors of rapid transmission of the Black Death.

Just will point out that about six weeks ago this same Filip Nowacki made his debut here on Totallympics, swimming in a 25m local authority pool, competing for Jersey in the Island Games along with Orkney, Menorca, the Falkland Islands etc!

Talk about letting the side down! Surely she could have come up with some kind of an excuse!

They'll be back. As soon as the capitalist parties create prosperity people start to think "Hey, let's try socialism again! Even though it failed the other twenty times we South Americans tried it, perhaps it will work this time!"
