Make the mistake of referring to one of these not-helicopter-not-airplanes as a “flying car” to anyone in the burgeoning market and invariably they’ll squawk: “It sounds too much like science fiction, like something that is never gonna happen.” (They also hate the Jetsons theme song…

For those not forced to live them day to day, the realities of Israel’s occupation of Palestine can be conveniently repackaged with whatever euphemism fits the prevailing political mood, from “peace initiative” to “rising tensions”.

That month, also in New York, there was a furore when a dress the woman had once worn was paraded at the Metropolitan Museum of Art gala by a reality TV star.

Smoky’s mother was heading off on a month-long holiday and was looking for someone to take care of her year-old fluffy Ragdoll cat.

When I did not fall for her sweet talk, she scared me with: “I have no option but to return Smoky to the breeder.”…
