Don't Worry? It'll Never Happen!

DON'T WORRY? IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN!Occasionally, seeing your furrowed brow, someone might say to you, "Don't worry, it probably won't happen!"  Little realising you were mentally choosing lottery numbers, or contemplating proposing marriage to your long-suffering partner.  Good luck in both endeavours, by the way; if you could choose only one, which would it be?

HAVE YOU BROKEN ANY LAWS LATELY?There are some crimes you aren't aware you are committing, and we are told that ignorance of the law is no excuse, so most of us are probably criminals, technically at least.  I'm hoping it's technically in your case as well as mine.

New Airport?

NEW AIRPORT?For decades there have been plans to build a second airport to serve Lisbon. What would cost a half billion at that time is now estimated to be four million euros, I guess five.

Upsetting the Natural Order of Things

UPSETTING THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGSPandemics aren't the only things that can seem to turn the whole world upside down.  Or topsy-turvy, as we might describe it, if this were a cartoon for children.  (Don't say it!)
