Well, thanks! 
that is very nice to hear (although I am fairly skeptical of that myself!!). But to argue with you about that would be to criticise your [I]own [/I]intelligence and judgement - and I would certainly never want to do that! so I will humbly and modestly accept the compliment! :8:

Your posts are no less valuableā¦ You should both be sent an Eddie Mug instantly
(post count revised to order)
You too? 
It was Laura Kuenssberg for whom I felt most sorry: Iāve seen her cover early morning press-conferences in various UK cities, report live from Brussels at lunchtime on [I]The Daily Politics[/I] and then be back in London the same evening to offer informed analysis in the [I]Newsnight[/I] studio, while also simultaneously making documentaries and writing columns and blogging ā¦ and still constantly appearing perfectly well turned out, calm and friendly. I donāt know how she does it, but the BBC certainly landed on their feet when they ātook a chanceā by replacing Nick Robinson with her.
She is fantastic - and so was Robinson.
I truly wonder what deal will be made in the end out of Brexit.
Yes, theyāre both very, very good at their jobs. Even her shoes are quite nice (though admittedly not quite in the Katie Derham league, and I donāt think she plays the violin, either ā¦ well, she wouldnāt have time, would she?).
Yes, indeed ā¦ well, at the moment Liam Fox and Boris are apparently at loggerheads over āwhich civil servants work for whomā. (I do see Liam Foxās problem, with all the āinternational tradeā people still sitting in the Foreign Office rather than in his new department. But I suspect there might be a bit of āempire buildingā involved in the altercation, too?). Who knows what theyāll make of it all, and how it will affect us (Iām keeping my Euros, anyway, to spend at home, for what theyāre worth, which may not be very much by the time I ever get back there)?? 
Hi PNR, good to hear from you.
Hope all is going good, Iām still here, olā timers are hard to get rid of
