    The Nobel Prize committee have confirmed that is non transferable.
    If it had been a Brit handing it over "for services to Democracy" then the sarcasm would be outstanding.
    However in this case it's the best bit of odious toadying since I don't know when.

      Don't worry. Trump will solve it. ;)

        The Nobel Committee have stated that you can pass the Nobel material and physical award on to anybody you want. They also state categorically that does not mean the recipient of the material now qualifies as a Nobel Prize holder. That honour remains with the person granted the award by the Nobel Committee. Trump will be miffed but will undoubtedly now consider himself to be winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

          We were visiting friends yesterday and they had a car on their drive under a complete cover. I asked what it was and they said they had just bought a Maserati Quattroporte because owning a Maserati had always been on her bucket list. They went on to explain they got it for a very good price, full service history, and they planned to move it on again before it required its next service. The receipts show a minor service is £3500! The car was cheap because a bloke with far more money than sense had bought it as a present for his daughter when she passed her driving test!!!!!!! His daughter didn't want it (sensible girl) mainly because it was too big, and it was almost impossible to get insurance cover (what a surprise).

            Only if they have anything worth pinching and then it will be the usual - need it for defensive purposes.

              For 70 years my poor brother has fought with athlete’s foot following a visit to the local swimming pool when he was in his teens. Does anybody know if these work?

              If so, why has nobody shouted it from the rooftops?

              Is his athlete's foot on his skin or nails? If skin, an essential oil like lavender, mixed in a base lotion, works. Don't apply the oil neat as it can burn the skin. Tea Tree oil also works, but the smell is quite strong. Rose oil works, but the aroma is an acquired taste. ;)
