    OK, so with several pages completely off topic perhaps we should draw a line and close this one? Or bring it back on point and remove the off topic bumpf.

      I have a funny story about that.

      We had got a good deal on the Hilton hotel in San Francisco - basic room at half price. When we arrived there and checked in they had put us in a penthouse suite as a free upgrade because I was a doctor. :scratch: My initials are M.D. and they had me recorded on my booking with my surname first and my initials afterwards. :rolleyespink: :heehee:

          My bad! Oops - I apologize for the gender boo boo!

          And I hope you know I was teasing you. It was obvious that it was an innocent observation you were making and somehow the subject became something to gnaw on, and on and on!

                  I hope not, but equally I hope that there is a considerably higher calibre of politicians putting themselves forward for election for the sake of the American people and for us all.

                  Having said that, you only have to look at the calibre of our own MP's to see that those are very high hopes indeed.

                    He's also going to take Arizona as the Trump campaign has now withdrawn their legal claim that there was fraud in the election count.
                    People have wondered why it has taken so long for the different States to count the votes but it's (a) because some States have more than 160 Counties within their borders and several Million voters within that State.
                    (b) All the Counties have different laws and protocols in the way, and when, they can count the votes
                    (c) All the Counties with the State then have to certify the total number of votes and then send them to the State itself who then have to check the procedures and protocols before certifying the votes themselves and submitting them to the Electoral College.
                    (d) Some Counties were allowed to count the early votes as they came in before the actual Voting Day and some were not. Some States couldn't count the postal Votes until they had counted the votes given at the Polling Stations and some States/Counties had to go to Court to ensure that they could count Postal Votes post marked up to, and on, the date of the Election Day even though received up to 3 days after.
                    (e) Some Postal Votes arrived damaged or had some sort of error to them and the Voters had to be asked to come into the Polling Station with their ID and verify that it was their Postal Vote. Some Military Voters who were serving elsewhere in the USA or abroad who's ID in their home State was questioned by the Republicans and they, too, had to be identified. That and the fact that the Republicans were querying everything they could and trying to delay voting or disqualify votes with allegations in the different Courts forcing some States to stop counting valid Postal Votes received after the Election Day even though they were marked up to, and on, the Election Day. Those votes had to be segregated and held in secure conditions until the Courts decided they could be counted, which they all did. Allegations that even the Dead were voting all had to be investigated and all those allegations were dismissed in the Courts.

                    Maybe, if he's still alive or not in Jail. He made a Public statement at the White House yesterday about his "tremendous, great, unbelievable" efforts in defeating COVID 19 and, again, how the end of the Pandemic was just around the corner. I did notice something different about him that I couldn't, at first, pin down:scratch: Then I realised that he was no longer blonde but grey and had obviously run out of his hair dye.:dunno::heehee:

                        Typically modest, then! :biggrin: I honestly think that if he had the exact same policies but wasn't so childish, petty and spiteful he would have won this election. He has done some good things, like getting rid of policy based on Critical Race Theory.

                          I doubt if that came originally from him but from some pressure group that promised to be of use to him:dunno:

                            There is also a rumour circulating (and it is just a rumour) that Dominion servers have been seized by the US Army.... I suspect that it is garbage however, as something like that happening would be sure to hit the news.
