Dreggsagg

Bavarian for, in High German "Drecksack", in English "Dirtbag". or "Scumbag". It's the stage name/logo/call of one of Bavaria's best-known comedians, Michl Müller whose latest cabaret show is called "Müller...not Shakespeare".

Dreggsagg is someone like Iago in Shakespeare's "Othello", a dastardly, conniving, back-stabbing, underhand type but if the tone of the pronunciation is said correctly, the person is probably more a rather likeable rascal.

The Blip is of Luis, one of our five cats after he had returned from the vet having been shaved on his head (barely visible) and various wounds, also around one ear, having been treated as they had become infected. And an antibiotic jab and a bottle of painkilling fluid to keep him calm.

The poor fellow had yet again been attacked by Jerry whose sole purpose in life seems to be in fighting with Luis. Naturally, when we are around, Jerry is the best behaved, lovely, cat one could want. Think it's time to rename Jerry: Iago or Dreggsagg or Donald. If he was a she, I would have a good English name beginning with "T".

All our cats, male and female, have been "treated", so quite why this lifelong war continues is a mystery. I guess exactly like Brexit.

I suspect that what is going on in the UK is unique in the entire history of the country. It is so unbelievable that you couldn't, even with the thought processes of such as Monty Python or Yes Minister, makeup what is going on.

What is sure is that the "unique" character of the Brits is being destroyed every single day and it won't be long before the rest of the world wonders if one actually needs the UK for anything. Goethe, Schiller or Brecht could no doubt replace Shakespeare.

PS - See the size of the walnuts? The small ones are "normal", the large ones given to us recently are so large they don't fit in any nutcracker and have to be cracked with a hammer.
