Thought it's useful to link to the other big story of the day, film director Woody Allen, who's name is now somewhat synonymous with sexual abuse and pedophilia is suing Jeff Bezos' Amazon for film deal breach - What a cauldron of nasties today's news stories are, and to think that this is likely just the surface layer - What a world we live invariety.com #

In what is no doubt completely unrelated news, where I am living today there has been an influx of what can only be described as "slow coaches" - People that walk unbelievably slowly, so slowly they are almost walking backwards - Many many groups of them, all up and down the very long street I live on, and on both sides of the street, also white, black, asian, many different nationalities - Notably different to usual, where did they all come from? Maybe there is some sort of slow coach convention on, what a bizarre day todaywww.merriam-webster.com #
