    Sorry, to change the subject, but I’m fuming!

    I will never help anyone again......EVER! I'm too kindhearted, or I'm too stupid..... [emoji20]

    Yesterday it was so cold out that we took a man into our home out of the kindness of our hearts. We felt so sorry for him, poor thing was standing stiff and frozen out in the cold, but this morning he had just vanished. Not a word...not even a goodbye or a thank you for sheltering him.

    The last straw?!?! When I realised he had peed all over the kitchen floor! That's the “thank you” I get for being good to people?!?!?!

    Now I'm going to warn my friends to watch out for this man! He is heavy-set, wearing nothing but a scarf, he has a carrot-like nose, two black eyes, and his arms are stick skinny. Don't bring him into your house! What a mess he made on the floor. [emoji35]

    Merry Christmas everyone!
    Alex

    That's genuine 1970s Artex that is.

    You've got these hipsters paying a fortune now for 1970s sideboards you couldn't give away once upon a time. Artex has to be next.

    New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced a $100 (£75) payment for anyone getting a booster jab before the end of the year.

    Unveiling the incentive at a Tuesday media briefing, he said it would be a "challenging few weeks" for the city amid a fast "upsurge in cases" driven by Omicron.

    New York state has reported record Covid-19 case numbers for four consecutive days, including 23,391 on Monday.

    Mayor de Blasio said the infections appeared to be milder, pledging that New York would "weather the storm" of the variant and avoid further shutdowns.
