I'm a Brit so what do I know? But I can see him taking a leaf out of Putin's playbook and running as VP to a family member running for President, possibly Eric. Then he'll still be in control.

I didn't think it through that much.

Not at all. It's all down to one's personal view of what is 'bad', plus they're the first things that came to mind!

The coffee is luke warm and the doughnuts are stale. It's always windy and slightly too cold for comfort but not cold enough to put the heating on. Your bum itches.

Why were you sent here? See below.

Pride: you bragged about the size of your investments to your poorer relatives.

Greed: you shoplifted from a small 'Mom & Pop' store (stealing stuff from a chain store doesn't count).

Wrath: you were rude to the waitress because of a small error in your order.

Lust: you propositioned your spouse's younger sibling (and got turned down).

Envy: you keyed your neighbour's new car.

Gluttony: you ate the last slice of pizza and drank the last beer.

Sloth: you never got out of bed before 11:00 a.m. at the weekend.

I grew up in South London and spent my first 30 years no more than 15 miles from the City before moving into a town halfway to Eastbourne for the next 30. Now I've retired to the middle of nowhere in the Welsh Marches and the thought of visiting any city or even a large town fills me with dread.

Grace (ITVX) - a police procedural TV series based in Brighton (UK) that originally came out around 4 years ago and completely passed me by. Stars John Simm, who played The Master in Dr Who. Recommended.

Mr Robot - trying to get into this but struggling. Only 3 episodes in.

A dozen eggs per customer per day is hardly a limit. How many can one family eat?

Finally caught up with 'Grace' (ITVX - Police procedural starring John Simm).

Also watched Patience on Netflix. Both shows were excellent.

So 4 in 5 prefer democracy. Seems okay to me.

We watched 'Black Doves' on Netflix and it was excellent: drama, humour, a decent mystery and excellent acting. Hoping there'll be a second series.

Also, and as always, I've dipped back into my favourite episodes of DARK, also on Netflix. Still my favourite show of all time and the best thing I've seen on TV in the last 50 years.

There is that too, of course!

It certainly was over the past 14 years, yes.
