I was going to point out I am now back in Mexico. But that would be too cruel. Even for me.

Swans are notoriously territorial. A guy was knocked out of his canoe and drowned by a swan in the UK recently.

The real, and universally understood, language of planet earth is the dollar sign. The pizza guy was speaking everyone’s language! There are some, though, who haven’t moved on much further from grunting and gesturing, and I suspect it’s those kind of folk who gave him the hardest time.

Hobnob — unheard of… and I suspect even when there’s enough biscuits… or bagels…

Hi Gary! I am glad the Britain is providing equal opportunity for other minorities such a ‘regular’ underemployed young Brits. But of course it comes at a price. The teguila bottle is reminder of how long it has been since we have been to the beach hear. I have been noticing the brouhaha over a Houston latino do the payback thing in offer free pizza for anyone that order is Spanish! The poor guy is just grateful for the chance to start a business in the US but that loud minority such as that your mention in your native land is putting this down. Well as they say around here ‘asi es’.

I trust your British swans are better behaved than the ones this side of the pond. The mute swans took to beating up little old ladies at my mother’s retirement village… perhaps your yobbo-swans emigrated here?

If ever you do get the chance to see a cygnet hatch, make yourself comfrtable. They take bloody ages! I was sat there for half an hour waiting for him to peck his way through the shell. And even when I left, he still had his butt stuck in a half of shell.

You know, even if the climate scientists have got it all wrong, it probably wouldn’t hurt to take a bit more care of the planet than we’re doing at the moment anyway.

One thing that the changing climate hasn’t changed in the UK is the predictable unpredictability of the weather, It’s no good looking out a window here, most of the time. It’ll have changed by the time you’ve gotten to the door…

Politics and science generally seems to mix about as well as oil and water…
