Despite the gravity of the crisis, Asquith's thoughts still flitted to young Venetia Stanley, on whom he was fixated. He had hoped to spend the weekend with her but events had determined otherwise.
'I got no letter from you this morning, which is the saddest blank in my day.'

Santa's also going to be visited by Canadian and russian military forces in the north pole. Global warming is creating new access to undiscovered resources.
I want a part in the ass-kicking!
YOLO so kick some major ass while your alive; if you can't beat 'em join 'em.
