You only need ONE JUROR to dissent to get a HUNG JURY.
I already told you that the Foreman (i.e., the 1st juror who is seated) was a U.K. ‘Daily Mail’ read (just like I). The Daily Mail is conservative and VERY PRO-Trump.
Now we have the complete list (or table) thanks to “The New York Times“.
Cracked me up when I saw it in the U.K. ‘Daily Mail’ last night. They reported it with a straight face. Did not gloat or draw attention to it.
‘dailymail.com‘ IS the U.K. Daily Mail. That ‘.com’ resolves into the ‘co.uk‘ address. Check it out.
This is CRAZY. What were the chances? [And IF you were wondering (& I did have to look it up). In New York, the FIRST juror seated is AUTOMATICALLY the ‘foreman’. That is it. That is how this guy became the foreman. No other factors. Just the first seated as a juror.]
Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with this blog must know that I am an AVID U.K. Daily Mail reader. I read it, ONLINE, at least 8 times a day — first thing in the morning & last thing at night. I started reading the Daily Mail, in print, in the 1970s — when I started working, as a 20-year old. I didn’t have time to read one of the UK’s posh, pakka papers. So, I settled on the Daily Mail. It did a decent enough job covering cricket scores — which was very important.
Yes, I know all the issues with the Daily Mail. The typos are infuriating. But, by and large it doesn’t get too much totally wrong when it comes to the NEWS. It is ALWAYS WAY, WAY ahead of the U.S. media. That is a huge bonus. Yes, it is a tad right wing! SMILE. But, I can live with that.
An American man who gets his news from the U.K. Daily Mail will be RIGHT WING. More than likely a Trump fan. So, we will get a HUNG JURY. So, Trump will not get charged in THIS trial. They will, if they wish, have to have another trial — AFTER he is President. {Good luck with that.}
First and foremost I will READILY CONFESS that I have no experience, whatsoever, firsthand or otherwise, of Canadian penises — & I have NO INTENTION, whatsoever (again), of rectifying it. [This also got me thinking, ALAS, that I also don’t think I have ever had any carnal knowledge of any Canadian women. Hhhmmm. That, I found a bit puzzling because, over the years, I have had a lot of dealings (ALAS (again)) with Canada.]
I find this claim very HARD to believe. Doesn’t make sense. COULD be their HUGE immigration population. IF there is to be any logical explanation, that has to be it. Their HUGE non-white immigrant population. IF not for that how can they be that much higher up from the U.S. & U.K. The French connection alone couldn’t cut that (so to speak).
Very confounding.
IF this had to do with FEMALE ANATOMY I would have volunteered to undertake some urgent hands-on research. But, not this.
I just wanted to make sure YOU KNEW about this.
Canada?
NO WAY.
Related story from the same U.K. “Daily Mail” from last year. Link to my post related to it.
This is pretty hard to fathom. An ultrasound technician hands the doctor a vial with acid — Trichloroacetic acid. Yes, Trichloroacetic acid is used to treat genital warts — BUT what was an ultrasound technician doing with it. Acid plays no part with any ultrasound procedure. This is crazy.
The poor, poor lady. Her life is ruined. Yes, she will, of course, end up getting millions, but in this case, the money will be scant compensation.
AMAZING.
Errors do happen, but something as bad as this. WOW.
I and the Daily Mail go back nearly 50 years! Can you blame me. How else will I keep up with huge news like this?
OK, I will just about buy ‘Switzerland’, ‘Luxembourg’ & ‘Ireland‘ — though the last with a BIG pinch of salt. ‘UAE’ as #1. Come ON! Whose leg are YOU pulling. The U.S. is NOT even in the TOP 10!
April 1 is come & gone. This is worse than a really bad April Fools’ joke.
Pitiful.
I had to share it with YOU because I wasn’t sure how many of you have seen it. Now you have.
The dirty buggers! This was 2,000-years. Worse than we are. Who would have thought.
I saw this yesterday during my 1st scan of my beloved U.K. “Daily Mail” yesterday morning. Wow. I doubt whether I would have learnt on this on CNBC, MSNBC or CNN — my other 3 sources of news. I would have been such a shame to have missed this. Huge hinged phallus. What next?
This is why I make a point of reading the U.K. “Daily Mail”, online, multiple times a day. I want to make sure I don’t miss anything.
I was, luckily, rather familiar with the U.K. metal detecting culture having been a HUGE fan of the BBC’s hilarious ‘Detectorists‘. So, I knew what would have been involved etc. Cool. Very cool.

I doubt whether this IMPORTANT news would have ever made it to CNBC, MSNBC or CNN — my other 3 sources of news. I would have been such a shame to have missed it.

I started reading the Daily Mail as a young adult in the mid-1970s — while living in the U.K. It was the best compromise between a serious paper, e.g., The Times, & an out-and-out tabloid, e.g., the Sun. I was busy & didn’t have that much time to read a paper. I didn’t commute by bus or train so I had to get my reading done around breakfast before starting a hectic day. Yes, of course, per the then custom, I had the paper delivered — through the mail slot in the front door. It would be lying there for me, 6 days a week, by 7am. On Sundays, I did get the Sunday Times & maybe the Sunday Sun delivered!
Bottom line is that I and the Daily Mail go back nearly 50 years! Wow. That is sobering.
