Just before Boris Johnson resigned from the UK Prime Ministership he appointed a new Cabinet.
The Education Minister is the Rt Hon James Cleverly.
Was it his name that got him that portfolio?

That's about 20,000 deaths and 36,000 injuries so far this year.
that's nuts.
I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

Re: Thought for Today
Just did a bit of fact checking on those mind boggling statistics. In 2020 over 43,000 people died in the USA from gunshot wounds. Nearly half of those were suicide. Its kinda hard to believe. Thankfully we have more restrictions on firearm access in Australia.jon_d wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 9:29 pm Mind boggling thought for today.

Maybe he was born into a a family known to do clever things ..... there might lie an answer to the age old question, "is clever and smart the same attribute?" only time will tell I guess ....

The first thing a man looks at in a woman is her heart.
The fact that her boobs are in front of her heart is not our fault.

Re: Thought for Today
I thought I had retired.
Turns out I've just changed employers.
I'm now working for my wife.
