Not quite yet. Give me time. I don't have the time for World Domination while the kids are so young.
When they're older though...?

I'd be a great dictator.

There's 3. All excellent books well worth buying & reading.
I still haven't done the pre-reading.Football tonight, so it's going to have to wait until tomorrow.
It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
I'm the bald geezer in a black leather chair with a white cat. Can't miss me.
Ahhhh....
So in real life you're actually Andrew Charalambous, UKIP housing spokesman.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

I was preparing myself to be insulted until I saw the picture. That's brilliant.

It's unfair to post a picture of Mr Andrew Charalambous's audition for the next Austin Powers movie.
Oh, you mean he actually looks like that all the time.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Not likely I think. ( there were other builidings above ground there war time, we're lucky that one of our neighbours who is in his nineties knows our place really well and indeed used to farm it. Lots of our neighbours have connections with the house over the last decades so we get lots of really good info,
Although, as the mod have taken to trying to bomb us locally maybe I should put a shelter in,0 -

He talks about having a 'good death'. We're all going to die one day so the best we can hope for is a long life and a good death at the end.
Thinking back, my Dad's death wasn't so bad for him although it was pretty awful for the rest of us. If she's in good surroundings with the mutt and the family and no pain then that's a pretty good place to be. I wouldn't mind that.
Thanks to you both for your kind thoughts.
I agree, in principle. But, just as an example, there was a call on 1571 from MIL's house. Heart in mouth whilst I listened to it, OMG bad news? Nope, just a new mattress for the carer hasn't been delivered, so (sigh) that's got to be sorted out, but MIL's fine.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
