TRUMP

Keep your friends close – but your enemies closer. Trump should be suspended from Twitter for a couple of weeks, not barred as we need to know what he is up to!

Grinding opponents in the dirt does not pay dividends – WWI, Iraq to name just 2 examples. Be humble in victory even if your opponent cannot be gracious in defeat.

DESKS

Some quotes: I guess you can see where my sympathies lie.

A tidy desk is a tidy mind.

A tidy desk is a sick mind.

If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind – what is an empty desk a sign of?

My room isn’t untidy, it is an obstacle course designed to keep me fit.
