Well, thank you very much Barrack Obama. Not only have I spent my entire week telling the kids why a Royal wedding, which was beautiful by the way, is important to our country but I have now had my parenting skills stretched to the limit explaining why it is okay to shoot someone who is responsible for the deaths of thousands, yet it is not okay to get Navy Seals to shoot someone who bullies 'boy childs' sister at school!!
As if that is not enough, there was furious debate in the Hall of Plenty as to whether it was moral, necessary etc, etc....that led up a curious winding conversational path to a remark about the graphic treatment of Saddam Hussein in comparison to the Nazis at Nuremberg. And I quote,
'Let's have a bit of dignity, you didn't see Harry Allen throwing shoes at the Nazis before he hung them!'
The real result of all of this is a heightening of the security status in the Hall of Plenty from 'General Indiference' to 'Check out that Burberry Bag!' Which actually involves our crack team of security guards, or as they like to be known , the 'Polyester Flying Squad' checking in our drawers for water, sweets or cake. Those well known threats to National Security!
In the meantime, we have decided getting L & R and your postcode tattooed on our feet is probably the only constructive thing we can do in the face of a terrorist attack. It is a strange old world!
