READER: Ho hum.

MYSELF: Ho hum indeed. And may I also add a muted, plaintive sigh, and a melancholy La-di-dah as I gaze longingly out of the window?

READER: Why not? Anything to relieve the boredom.

MYSELF: You can say that again.

READER: I mean, you can only watch Groundhog Day so many times.

MYSELF: Exactly.

OVER THE TOP

At auction recently I put in a successful bid for a job lot of WWI memorabilia. Amongst the gasmasks, ersatz cheese powder and benzedrine tablets, I discovered this touching letter, written to a loved one stationed at Ypres. and I thought I would share it with you.
"Dear Wilfred, I hope your trench is not too uncomfortable and that the Germans have stopped all that beastly gassing. Please find enclosed the brown trousers you requested, as well as 3 dozen tins of Coleman's mustard powder (what on earth do you do with it?), 1 dozen slices of imitation Spam, 1 packet Brown & Poulson's Yorkshire Pudding Flavoured Shoe Whitener, 1 tin of aggravated Radio Ham and some tongue sandwiches cut into triangles, with the crusts cut off. All is well at home. Aunt Irene is staying the weekend, as Uncle Frank has run off with a chorus girl and the Billy the budgie died after we lined its cage with asbestos in case of air raids. Little Tommy says hello dad, and if you do go over the top and get blown up by a land mine, can he have your fishing rod? Deidre at the greengrocers says don't worry it'll all be over by Christmas. Mum's the word, careless talk costs lives. Fondest love, Nancy."

LETTER FROM AMERIKA

In these troubled times it's so nice to hear from old friends. I was delighted to receive this letter (in the form of 88 tweets), from my dear school chum Donald J Trump (we went to Oxford and Cambridge together), whom I haven't seen since 2016:

Hey Bird!  Long time no see! I don't know about Great England, but we have a big problem over here with Corfveve19, a disease that Sloppy Joe Biden brought back from China in order to try and get me blamed so I wouldn't win the election. I even got it myself so I could show the people it didn't exist and there was nothing to worry about. After I win in November, everybody I don't like is going to jail.until we finally get rid of this Democrat Fake Flu. Are you still in Hastings? Melania says she loves haddock, whatever that is, and wants me to buy her a fishing fleet.

I told her that Hastings was famous not only for fish but also for kicking the asses of the Spanish Armada in1066 (Spain gave the world Mexicans by the way, which a lot of people don't know), and more importantly as the venue for The World Crazy Golf Championship. Once she realised that Scotland (one of my golf courses), was a mere 400 miles away, she persuaded me to apply for 'planning permission' (what is that?) to turn Hastings into the biggest, craziest golf course the world has ever seen and put it in her name so I don't get to pay any tax. She is one smart lady. Do you still have haddock down there by the way? What's the going price of a fishing fleet these days?

PS: Hastings? What kind of loser name is that? You socialist libtards need to wake up and PUT SOME FIZZ INTO YOUR PEP! I'm attaching a mock-up of your roadside welcome sign by my golf people. See what your commie shithole could look like to all those tourists as they drive in to play a couple of rounds of crazy golf and maybe afterwards relax in the Trumpton 1066 Casino Lounge? I am MacDonald Trump. Let's make England great again!
