the stinking enigma

Well. That was quite eventful. 

They are just posh warts really. No substitute for the real thing.

This is why you'll find most psycopaths are cat lovers.

I'm not sure it would work as well from a visual sense. For these purposes a dickensian villain type  makes for better viewing than a country buffoon. 

Overseen by the gambling supervision commission no doubt

The sad thing is that if we get involved in this it will be because there's a few quid in it.

I will not capitalise it whichever way

So, can anybody tell me what the point of all this is? What does it matter whether douglas is a city or a town?  

Surely just kicking him in the bollocks every morning would have dampened his desire down a bit. There was no need to kill the poor fucker. I despair at times

Why does the radio keep announcing it as a 40 million pound scheme? Seems pretty meaningless. How many houses is it?

The guys that do the grass cutting seem to have a pretty efficient routine last time i watched them. Can't fault them

This is a genuine observation.

Everywhere I go hardly anyone is wearing a mask, so how come you are all reporting this massive compliance?

I am not anti mask, every building I have been in this week I have had one with me to wear if I felt others expected it.

Crosby CO-OP.  1 customer out of about 20 I saw was wearing one.  A group walked through the door wearing them, noticed no one else was and took them off.  That is pretty much what I have been doing.

Petrol station.  None.

Spar. None.

Schools.  Hardly any kids are wearing them.

Various offices as part of work. Very, very few.

I really don’t understand where all these mask wearers are hanging out, but accept that I haven’t been to Tesco etc.

Maybe they are all walking round with them in their pockets, too scared to wear them in case the big boys laugh at them. Meanies they are.

How they still get away with it being viewed as pure incompetence is beyond me. 

I'd have thought they may have anticipated this possibly happening. There should be like a general inquiries number advertised as such.

Did each wave of spanish flu get progressively milder?

It's the lack of finacial support which has caused a lot of problems, and it will again. Mainly because it's designed that way. To anyone at the bottom. Covid has very much reinforced that, to the point where even their prescription chemical cosh can't hide that reality.

Look at my earlier link to what Israel have said.

Israel seems to have quite a bit of data, lucky thing for them that they let the saffas announce this variant first.

Could have been taken years ago too. Can you go back in tomorrow but hold a copy of the daily star up? Then i will 100% believe it.

I'd post a link but i have no idea how i found myself in that rabbithole in the first place. There's no way i'd find it by looking.

I'm not surprised. I heard it and thought WTF?? It was like his script had been written by a member of the Doomsday Cult. Completely inaccurate, unscientific and sent out the wrong message at the wrong time. 

See, i didn't even notice him say it at the time. It's definitely been siezed upon by the doomdeniers though, to quite a widespread level judging by the comments, mainly consisting of "who is that guy?"

Idiotic statement from the Chief Minister didn't help. It wasn't a calming message. Threats of mandating mitigations, talk of immune systems not working anymore and raising of threat levels. 

He needs to sack his script writer and grow a pair. He could have delivered the same message using different rhetoric and smoothed the situation over. 

I seldom use twitter, but was doing a bit of doomdenier scrolling last night. His speech, the part where he mentions the immune system not working anymore, has really taken off, i saw it retweeted loads of times. 

Nice to see you are feeling a bit better mr quayle.

Have gas prices gone down yet?

Holding China to account would and has been seen as racist and a taboo subject. But the Kent Indian , African is not.

Leaves a lot of questions.

Why was it called the Kent rather than the UK variant?

No racing for 3 years then up the horsepower first time back.
