Life. Leben. Vie.

The EU should be stronger and more united. Great Britain should belong to the Union.
Die EU sollte stärker und geeinter sein. Großbritannien sollte der Union angehören.
L'UE devrait être plus forte et plus unie. La Grande-Bretagne devrait appartenir à l'Union.

WE CAN DO BETTER / WIR KÖNNEN ES BESSER MACHEN / NOUS POUVONS FAIRE MIEUX

The world is full of unnecessary suffering and deaths. Let us at least try to understand each other better and minimise the suffering and tragic deaths. One death is one death too many! Can’t we do better than this? / Die Welt ist voller unnötigem Leid und Tod. Versuchen wir wenigstens, einander besser zu verstehen und das Leid und die tragischen Todesfälle zu minimieren. Ein Tod ist ein Tod zu viel! Können wir es nicht besser machen? / Le monde est rempli de souffrances et de morts inutiles. Essayons au moins de mieux nous comprendre et de minimiser les souffrances et les morts tragiques. Un décès est un décès de trop ! Ne pouvons-nous pas faire mieux que cela ? – © Mark Alexander

MY HOPE / MEINE HOFFNUNG / MON ESPOIR

In the sincere hope of bringing the world a little closer together. / In der aufrichtigen Hoffnung, die Welt ein Stückchen näher zusammenzubringen. / Dans l’espoir sincère de rapprocher un peu plus le monde. – @ Mark Alexander

MENSA: The High IQ Society

I recently received a communication from MENSA, informing me that I can proudly say that I am one of the UK’s longest-standing members: I have belonged to the organization for well over thirty, actually closer to forty, years. Naturally, I am listed not under my nom de plume, or pseudonym, but under my actual name. MENSA UK can be found here.
