Right, Marty. Habit becomes a bit, becomes bit. This is the 1% Question from this episode....

You're good, Gareth. That's right.

Correct.

No takers? Maybe this one...

Brilliant!

Those other speakers in New York were something else - "She is the anti-Christ!". - "There is a floating mass of garbage out there in the ocean, it's called Puerto Rico!" - "America for the Americans ONLY!" (So isolationist)

A dog goes into a butcher's shop, grabs a piece of steak and hurries out the door. The butcher recognises the dog as belonging to the solicitor a few doors down. He goes to the solicitor and says, "If a dog steals meat from my shop, can I claim compensation from the owner?" "Yes you can." says the laywer. "Then you owe me $50 for the steak your dog stole." Without a second thought, the solicitor takes out his wallet and hands over $50. The next day the butcher receives a bill for $500 from the solicitor, for legal advice.

Russian military scorns North Koreans Cooperation between North Korea and Russia is intensifying. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un promised to send Putin 12,000 soldiers to help fight Ukraine. But the Russian military is not happy with the arrival of the North Korean soldiers. This is evident from intercepted audio clips in which the North Koreans are heavily insulted. Russian soldiers express concern about the way North Korean soldiers are directed and immediately provided with ammunition and military equipment. After all, after a short training period, they will be sent to the front in the name of Russia. But that is not to the liking of the Russian military. This is according to leaked information intercepted by the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency. The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, code-named the “K Battalion,” and at one point call them “the f****** Chinese.” The audio, by the way, reveals plans to deploy one interpreter and three senior officers for every 30 North Korean men. “The only thing I don't understand is that there are three senior officers for 30 men. Where do we get them?” says one Russian soldier. Another can be heard on the audio saying of the Koreans, “What on earth should we do with them?”

Putin could lose an important ally According to a Newsweek report, India's decision to supply Ukraine with ammunition has put a strain on its previously strong bilateral relations with Russia. See slideshow here.

Did you see anything of his New York rally in Madison Square Garden? The biggest collection of lunatics ever seen.

I've seen a report where the Russians have supposedly said of the Koreans, "They're hopeless, what are we going to do with them."

Where do I go from here?

Most people, if they have a background photo at all, have their wife/girlfriend/dog/car o the phone lock screen. Donald Trump?

If the Halloween Pumpkin gets in, take me now. I don't want a long life with that ratbag in power.
