Use mine all the time, but there is no money in it.
I see Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester is kicking up a fuss over the local Covid restrictions. He won't change things one bit, he's just attention seeking and trying to boost his profile. Typical local politician, anything to get into the news.
I can't take him seriously anyway. Not with those 'coiffed' and plucked eyebrows he now has, it wouldn't look quite so daft if they were both at the same height.
Proud Evertonian and King of The North! [emoji13]Quote:

Most ridiculous dream yet last night. Clint Eastwood came round to discuss some film projects we are working on. I took a picture of him on my 'phone.
Later I mention to a friend that Clint had been round and he doesn't believe me (understandably). So I go to show him the photo on my 'phone but it isn't there.
Perhaps if you adjust the contrast on your phone, after all he is the pale rider...….Quote:

The first part was confused but the upshot was I was a long way from home and needed to get a bus. Bus turns up and I get on but then realise I have no mask. Nobody says anything but I feel bad so I ask if anyone has a spare mask they will sell me. A lady has one and hands it to me and I put it on.
I then realise I have a Terry's chocolate orange that I really want to eat but I am unsure if it is within the rules to pull the mask down whilst eating. I know it's okay on an aeroplane but is it okay on a bus? I don't know. So in the end I leave it.
I get off the bus and am not far away from my old house in Liverpool. I start walking and see one of our cats sat atop a litter bin. I go over to him and he talks to me. I can't recall now what he said, although I'm sure it was something quite profound.
You need to stop eating blue cheese mate :).
Or stop sleeping.
i am your spirit guide?... go find your soul mate:ner:
One of the best lines in film! Also when I see someone running down the street buttnaked with a hard-on, I shoot first and ask questions later (or similar words - not necessarily in this order:lol:)Quote:

Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Insp. Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
Mayor: I think he's got a point.
I dropped by the Asda website last night and managed to pounce on a two week grocery delivery slot. They get snapped up very fast and end up unavailable for weeks ahead. I can get one for Tesco or Iceland easily, but I do like some variety in choice.
When are you planning on going out into the big bad world again mate, and shopping in store like you uses to? I know it's a ballache just now, but I just wondered if you've now resigned yourself never to go near a shop again?:)
Marco.
No. But I'm not going into supermarkets until I think I'd be safe and that looks some way off. My age and recent 'indisposition' render me at risk.Quote:

Fair enough, mate. Are you coping ok though with living in such isolation - is your wife still there with you?
Marco.
She is Marco. I was coping fine alone for the couple of years she was down in Kent looking after her ailing mother, but I suppose it's a reasonable idea for her to be handy just in case I have another 'funny turn'. Not that it's likely. :)Quote:

Looks like Diane Abbott is going to lose her meal ticket now that Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended. Obviously a hatchet job for Starmer's new order (new, New Labour?). She won't survive that, perhaps she can find a more suitable career. Novelty doorstop maybe?
when you change style there has to be a blood letting i guess.Quote:

I don't believe it!! The Nigerian 'pirate' stowaways who hi-jacked the tanker in the English Channel a few days ago have been given bail. We all know what will happen now...........
They should be facing long jail time followed by repatriation (shame hanging for piracy is outlawed).

The booking company through which we bought the ticket have a very poor reputation regarding this; so I was somewhat apprehensive, despite having used them for the last 10 years or so without any problem. The problem we had was getting through to the UK office: none of the telephone numbers allowed one to speak to someone directly, they just gave links to do it all on-line - which of course failed.
Eventually, after much Googling we found a couple of telephone numbers for the head office in the US. Dialled the number and got a reply within a minute. Explained the situation, and after being put on hold for a couple of minutes whilst they went away to look at the T&Cs, came back to say we were eligible for a credit note, and after a minute or two received an e-mail of confirmation stating the value of the credit note, and giving a re-booking reference number.
So all well that ends well - but it did take a telephone call the US.
Glad you got it sorted out in the end, Barry. However, my advice for everyone right now is to STAY PUT and park their arse at home, unless it's a genuine emergency, until things improve with the Covid situation.
I simply wouldn't entertain foreign travel otherwise right now, under any circumstances.
Marco.
We are going to stay put, but hope to re-book for, say, February next year. The credit note is valid until 31.12.2021.
The dilemma we faced was if flights were still flying, then wanting to re-book might (with some carriers) not be possible. Lockdown here and very strict entrance restrictions at the destination, meant we had very good reasons to justify requesting a credit note. Wanting a refund would have been very difficult to justify and would not have been granted.
We only had a narrow time window to act. Obtaining the visa, whilst straightforward, is time consuming and expensive. To have obtained one in time to travel, and then not to have travelled would have been a waste of money.
Yeah, totally get that. However, glad you're staying put, as it's the most sensible and safest thing to do right now:)
Marco.
So much for "lockdown" - never seen so many cars going through our village, considerable number with bikes on carriers.
I guess people are taking their exercise in the countryside :scratch:
It was quite a bit quieter here yesterday than usual. Nothing like as quiet as the previous lockdown though.
There appears to be little change here in London, apart from all hospitality services which are closed, as are clothing shops, hairdressers and nail bars. In general the streets are only a little quieter.
Mobile phone and computer shops are open, but all transactions are carried out at the door - there is no going inside. The same with the coffee shops.
not been near a shop in 9 months:lol: not likely to be for another 9 the way its going eitherQuote:

I do and have done so for about fifteen years. Not experienced any real disappointments and I'm quite fussy.Quote:
