The last post is the WINNER!

Today has been something of a winner.

Invited friends to an international bbq, German, French and British. The meal was (although i say so myself) pretty damn perfect. The conversation was, as always with these two, extremely varied and interesting, and i sampled 3 different wines (very naughty of me).

So although not drunk (never again) I am a little teapot light headed and in need of some sleep

We are starting to see some preferential voting here in the USA. And in some cases we have top 2 voting where to people from the same party might wind up in a runoff.

6. Halcyonine
In Ancient Greek myth, the halcyon was a legendary bird said to build its floating nest far out in the middle of the sea, and during the two weeks the female halcyon sat on her nest brooding her eggs—usually said to be from mid-December onwards—it was believed that there would be a prolonged period of fine, dry, calm weather. This period became known as the halcyon days, a phrase still in use today to refer to any time of total happiness or contentment. Nowadays, the myth of the halcyon is attached to the kingfisher: It might not nest in the middle of the sea (far from it in fact, as kingfishers usually nest in deep muddy tunnels excavated into riverbanks), but anything described as halcyonine is nevertheless said to resemble—or be as brightly colored as—a kingfisher.

I'll still be looking for a photograph of Edgar Allen Poe but I suspect I wouldn't recognize it if I did find it! Which reminds me of a BIBLE VERSE. All is vanity.

Since you wouldn't recognize it, I will sell you this very valuable picture of Edgar Allen Poe that I have. See the mustache. So Poe.

16. Hawkary-Pawkery
A word for trickery or deceit.

17. Hebdomad
Derived from the Greek word for the number seven, a hebdomad is a week. If something occurs hebdomadally, then it occurs once every seven days.

18. Hebetate
To hebetate something is to make it blunt or dulled. Something that is hebetative does precisely that.

19. Hederaceous
If something is hederaceous then it resembles ivy, whereas if you’re hederigerent then you’re dressed with or bedecked in ivy. If something is hordaceous, incidentally, then it resembles barley, while anything that is horeiform is shaped like a barleycorn.

No one who reads this should ever say it's impossible for a bank to win and win big. The bank is the Bank of Zambia.

Bank refuses to pay ransom to hackers, sends dick pics instead

“Suck this dick and stop locking bank networks thinking that you will monetize something, learn to monetize.”

The image headlining that piece was pretty good as well.

We've been having a mini heatwave for the last few days... I think i prefer the rain

We have, of course, zero chance of rain but we will get a bit of a heat wave later this week with a 97 high on Tuesday (21 to some of you).
