One clue : Remember that when John McEnroe started the fashion for behaving like a brat, he became a hero for many Americans And a pariah in Europe

She behaves worse that anyone has ever has in a Grand Slam final. Amongst other things, she threatens the umpire that he will never umpire again ( Do please check all this by watching the footage...) My question is : How did she become a victim ?

When the umpire mentions this, she denies she would ever cheat in this way, raising the question ...why did her coach NOT know this ? She argues a great deal. Later she smashes her racquet in anger, and the umpire, following the rules, docks her a point She loses it completely

The famous athlete Serena Williams, winner of umpteen Grand Slams, plays in yet another Grand Slam final, as a red-hot favourite But her opponent starts playing better than her Her coach gestures to her to play further up court, and nods, as humans do after making eye contact

I like " Aluminum " even if it's wrong I just wish you'd be consistent, and talk about Sodum, and Lithum and Potassum and Helum and Magnesum and Titanum and Chromum and Uranum. Re: " Lieutenant " We decided to Anglicise it, instead of pronouncing it the French way, incorrectly

By mangling I mean Americans saying : " I could care less " when they mean to say : " I couldn't care less " Or using" likely " as an adverb, just because it looks like one

Why is it that, if a single country takes a protectionist stance, it's always held to be bad, whereas if a group of 27 countries does the same, it's good ?

Talking of cultural appropriation, how do the left feel about the USA appropriating the English language as though it was their own ? They have never paid a cent in royalties either Nor does it ever occur to them to apologise ? Even if its only for the way they mangle it ?

Should Serena have been portrayed as smaller, and more ' European ' in features ? Or even a little more Japanese ? Or would that have been condescending ? Theresa May's usual caricature emphasises her long pointy nose. Isn't this reinforcing the racial stereotype of ' Honky ' ?

I am in awe of great impersonators In the last year, I have howled at Rory Bremner's Trump and Rob Bryden's Michael Caine Today, on the set of 'Hold the Sunset', I heard Jason Watkins practising his Harold Wilson ( He's filming 'Crown" at the same time ) Absolutely wonderful

It all depends on what message they are trying to send The GRU plan is clever. Catch a spy, keep them for the purpose of exchanging them for one of yours, and then...kill them when they think they are safe What better warning ? And you get your spies back !
