Just tell 'em you can see it from your bedroom window Martin, they'll believe that :)Quote:

Listening to Joe Biden on Sky news giving his thoughts and outlining out his intended policies. Never mind the politics, it's a pleasure to hear from a rational and calm person instead of the outgoing petulant and posturing buffoon Trump!
I like him. He may well be an old 'un, but at least he looks presidential. I don't think we've heard the last from the Trumpet, he ain't going quietly.Quote:

He may go on to become an even bigger embarrassment and have to be dragged from The Whitehouse.Quote:

might have been :eyebrows:
If the vaccine is not based on bleach or disinfectant, then Trump cannot claim anything. :D
So here in Manitoba, things are out of control at the moment Covid related. Midnight tonight everything non essential shuts down. Our own complacency (lack of) really as early on we were the North American model on how to do it right.
Anyway, I'm front and center as part of the health and safety planning committee, Provincial meetings, liaison between employees and their Doctors etc....but recently realized I wasn't really front and center which was an eye opening experience that I thought I'd share.
We've had a few serious outbreaks within our personal care homes. A recent event resulted in a shortage of staff to support the residents within. I volunteered as I have a medical background.......found myself gowned, gloved, masked..taking care of seniors who in many cases were incapable of taking care of themselves........and incapble of understanding what was happening and why they couldn't leave their room or why they couldn't visit with family (due to cognitive deficits).
I was there to help out with their most basic functions. feeding, toileting, dressing....etc. (there is certainly little to no dignity left for some of these souls) I spent a couple hours feeding this one Mennonite lady who jabbered at me in German the whole time....I don't speak German but regardless we had a great conversation and I think it was over all a positive for her.
Anyway, my point here with regards to talking about anything........was that I think we often take other peoples situations for granted. I've been in health care for 30 years.... a large chunk of that as a primary practitioner taking care of my own patients......and this was the first time I think the veil was lifted.
I have a new found profound respect for those working directly on the front lines....especially in these current rather bizarre circumstances we find ourselves in.
Sadly towards the end of my second shift, two residents tested positive (one no longer with us). The emotional impact on the staff was palpable, and I found myself supporting them as they dealt with the impact of people they had worked with for months and sometimes years. I then found myself immediately quarantined; having to tell my elderly mother and kids to find alternative lodgings for 14 days until I was sure I was clear.
I don't think I was ever overly concerned with myself ( I guess a bit) but the experience which was about 6 weeks ago......has left a profound impact on me. I'd definitely do it again in a heart beat.
Sorry for the ramble here.....in part it is due to sharing a bottle of red with my sister. LOL
Mum had a fall last wknd and fractured her pelvis (she has lived with me since this past April) Can't walk so I'm ferrying her around on my wheeled office chair to the bathroom and bed until healing is sufficient that she can weight bear. My sister, thankfully, came by and did the sponge bath thing........(some things a son should just not have to see)
Anyway, there you go......a ramble about just about anything. Typing this as mum and I listen to Ella Fitzgerald.
Ok I had followed this up with a big vent on our theoretical "leader" south of the border.......and then lost it.......I'll just pour another glass of wine instead.
I'm also having a deja vu moment that I've already said everything here in an earlier post. Probably best I not move on to dark rum.
bbones, that was real.
Good bit of writing.
Thankyou.
Hemingway always said, write drunk. Edit sober.
Good to read that Steve. It shows the human side of of things at the moment.
Could somebody have a word with Anneliese Dodds, the Shadow Chancellor, her hair always looks a revolting mess. You'd think somebody with a face like a baked spud might seek a more flattering look, as a sort of damage limitation exercise.

Wonder if she s related to Ken Dodds
So does that mean you wouldn't bang it?Quote:

Watch the TV Saturday......talk I'm hearing from contacts south of the border is...as my friend so eloquently calls them....all the Trump wackadoodles are massing in DC for a rally to support the head wackadoodle. Should provide lots of opportunity to shake the head in wonder.......(meant to be a million plus)
......beyond my ability to comprehend.
Work been going pretty good recently, with several recommendations by email and on company's facebook page, naming me.
But this leads me onto relating a rather strange thing:
Last week I fitted some windows and doors for a rather attractive forty-something, who really looked after us with coffees and bacon butties. When i told her my name she said there are far too many Steves in the world. "His name's Steve," pointing at the plasterer), "my ex is called Steve, as is my current(?) partner".
Everything went well and after being paid a modest tip, she asked if she could give my details to some friends who need some work doing.
Then a couple of days later while dozing in front of Eastenders or some shite, I got a call from a witheld number. Don't normally answer these, but I was half asleep.
"Hello, is that Steve?"
"Yes, speaking."
"Watch yer f___in' back!"
"Is that Marco?"* I should mention he had a 'posh' Scottish accent, like he was from Bearsden or Morningside or Paisley. I dunno, I'm not good on accents.
But he'd already hung up. Mrs. P's theory was that I'd been nice to a customer, and a jealous spouse had found my name in her phone. Thing is I'm nice to everyone, but with so many Steve's knocking about at that job, that seems the likely source. I might just change my name - I've always liked George or Frank. Or maybe I'll have 'the procedure', and change my name to Stephanie. or Doris.
*I didn't really say that, I made it up.
31 posts already, anyone would think I had nothing better to do today, and thanks to this lovely autumnal weather, I don't...
How about chilling out, listening to some music, or watching a movie with your beloved? Is that too radical?:eyebrows:
What would she be doing to fill her day otherwise?
Marco.
Well I did organise my van ready for next week, got all my batteries charged, and went down to B&Q. There's also post #17037 on "Spinning Today..." if that's what you mean. Watched 2 movies last night, that's enough for now :)Quote:

Do you guys actually do *anything* together, as a couple?:ner::eyebrows:;)
Marco.
I've mentioned Anita (Mrs. P) loads of times, just not all the time. We do lots together, and also spend time doing nowt together. But we do also have our own lives to be getting on with - when Del is at work what are you two doing together?:)Quote:

Hehehe... I don't do 'shows' anymore - too full of numpties and overpriced tat!:D
When things get back to normal though, I might see you at NEBO, and I'll bring Del with me. She's been dying to meet you, as she giggles at some of your daft jokes!:eyebrows:
Marco.
There is so much to be said in favour of using local shops and services. It took BT and Open Reach six weeks to NOT correct a fault with my landline and broadband but I called a small, local company, they came out the same day, traced and fixed the fault and all for £60....bargain. After the bad weather recently my satellite signal was playing up, missing channels etc. Absolutely no help with the provider so again I called a local aerial and satellite dish installer, came the next day and found that the LND was broken and full of water. New LND £45 and £30 callout and labour. It's not just the great service I've had but good advice and recommendations for other tradespeople, word of mouth is better than all the flashy advertising.
You know you don't have to buy the overpriced tat, and as for numpties, well they are everywhere you look, and shows aren't immune. But I've met some of the forum members at them, including Firebottle and his wife Shirley, Allen (Audio Al), Ali Tait, and Mike (JacHawk), none of whom are numpties :).Quote:

Lol. she says she'll be relying on you to keep her amused [she says with a cheeky wee smile]:eyebrows:
Marco.
That's the spirit Ian! The big companies you mention have vans, admin people, advertising budgets, and (probably) greedy shareholders. Smaller firms and one man bands often can't afford advertising, and rely on "word of mouth". Certainly is the case with me.Quote:

They also chuck a shitload of extra cash at him if he works too far away to commute. Guess who pays for all that crap :(
When it comes to services and retail, I firmly believe that smaller is better :)
Learning new terms. numpties :D
Lol - there's also daftees, bawbags, wallopers, rammers and zoomers:D
Marco.
But the Welsh don't have a name for them, well nothing pronouncable anyway. They just say "Aw, he must be from Wrexham" :)Quote:

Not as daft as Del though at the last hi-fi show we were at (think it was Cranage)... The wee daftee ended up losing her shoes!:doh:
Marco.
Lol - she'd probably enjoy that! She likes a giggle. We could leave the girlies to it in the bar, while we do super exciting things such as listening to demos of comparisons between speaker cables:DQuote:

Marco.
Oooh I definitely have to look these terms up. I'm giving an online presentation on Friday........definitely have to incorporate a few. They already think I'm nuts......this will just confirm it. LOL
Nice to see that Marco and Del are going out for a nosebag tomorrow. Maybe he'll stop mithering about vaccinations and pecking our heads about it, for a while at least...:)Quote:

They must have some odd people writing the advertising copy, either that or strange language translation software.
In these strange times, I have increasingly been listening to BBC Radio 4.
Absolute cracker of a Radio show today. Open Country at 15.00 Hours.

Better than the Scillies IMO. Water is flippin' freezing but the Scillies are cold too. So no loss there. :lol:
