Yeah, but then I'd have touched the bottle. And then I'd have to get that clean as well?

Not a problem in July in Scotland - the monsoon season has commenced to synchronise with the traditional Scottish holiday month.

But it's unclear whether West is really running.
He does not appear to have registered his name with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for November's election. The closest name the FEC database shows is a candidate called "Kanye Deez Nutz West", who filed their papers with the Green Party in 2015 under the address "1977 Golddigger Avenue, Suite Yeezus"

Now it's commonplace all over the world. The former president of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, called aircon 'perhaps one of the signal inventions of history' and it allowed for the rapid expansion of his country. Now Singapore is hot and humid and can probably justify a widespread use of aircon, but now it's popping up in much gentler climates and, like the car, it's beginning to be something you just have to have. The article I read, said in one (hot) day last year, New York's air conditioning consumed the equivalent of an astonishing 18 thousand horsepower....(Source: The Guardian)

Trump is really unhappy about the massive new Russia - Germany gas pipe (it's called Nord Stream 2 - they already have a Nord Stream 1). And with some justification in my opinion. Trump has long believed that Germany misses out on a substantial part of it's defence obligations (and costs), preferring to rely on the US military. Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is reportedly quite friendly with Putin. Schroeder is in charge of Nordstream 2 and a bit of a relic from the old days of East Germany. The US wants to sell vast amounts of it's gas to Germany, the country it helps defend. Which is understandable and not buy it from a potential adversary. (Source: Bloomberg, Reuters etc)

The environmental cost of shipping gas around the world in oil-burning ships sounds horrendous compared to the cost of building and maintaining a pipeline.

Don't LNG tankers use the Gas evaporating from the tanks as fuel?

Equally, I was aghast when I learned that Britain is importing wood chips from America to burn in power stations, for the same reason.

He hasn't been in a shop or anywhere near somewhere he could spend money since early March...
