It’s better with the accent. Just

Wor lass has been to B&M’s. I don’t drink much lager these days but when the fuck did Lowenbrau become 3.5% abv? I might as well drink Bass shandy

Shopping is mostly awful, but then so are people. I guess that goes some way to explaining the appeal.

I did, it didn't go well. I'll stick to a promising career in whateverthefuckitisIdonow

"The garden could do with some rain anyway". Proof positive of my middle aged status.

So you’re the reason the weather’s about to turn shite?

Give my regards to ‘CT Towers’

My youngest kids can go back but eldest can’t. Although technically they could’ve all gone all along because of my lass working for the nhs. I’m probably classed as a key worker too in the sense I’m working on the ‘covid response’. Anyhoo, all I can see that meaning is I’d be forced to keep them away from both sets of grandparents (who went from seeing them almost every day to diligently following the lockdown to the letter, at great emotional expense). Wtf 5 year olds are going to gain from half a term of weirdness anyway is beyond me. So they’re not going anywhere near school until September. If we’re not under full lockdown again by then

Public transport is a complete mess of fat families buying paddling pools. Fuck me

That is quite the thread.

This is great. There's a part 1 and part 2 video at the link so make sure you watch part 1 first when he's still got the cuffs on. That he gives them the Eddie Murphy treatment for a solid 5 minutes makes it even better. Imagine how many poor cunts aren't fortunate enough to have an FBI badge in their wallet when it gets fished out their pocket though.

Fuck off back to the beach, Aquaman!

Michael Angelis. RIP Superb in boys from the black stuff.

Lowebrau in the 80s was loon juice..I remember I finished work at 4pm on a Friday not long before I was 18 and went with the lads to a pub that had just got it in....was throwing up by 1830

It would appear that Cumming’s cottage in Durham has no planning permission, nor is it registered for council tax. https://universalcreditsuffer.com/2020/05/31/cummings-spare-cottage-without-planning-permission-and-pays-no-council-tax/?fbclid=IwAR32opRzMUA0bwH1UW35R470wjimZvrZJfD6j6Ef95tuQqV54Fn5FKxQ7uc (also, the main property has been extensively enlarged with similar lack of proper planning)

No Coronavirus deaths in Spain today. So given we were about 3 weeks behind them and had more warning we can expect the same story here by about midsummer’s day presumably

I was at the takeaway the other day and I said to the bloke behind the counter - here mate do you ever get any Chinese Jews? He went out the back for about 30 seconds and came back and said - we only have apple juice and orange juice

FYP

Aye, it’s hardly pertinent given what’s happening here or there.

Why are the BBC showing a documentary in prime time about how bad the Coronavirus outbreak has been in New York when the UK has the worst death rate in the world?

Same. Not that they’re complaining too much, but I explained it to them by saying when it’s safe to go for a haircut, then it might be safe to go to school.

Tales from the Loop based on the art of Simon Stålenhag. Slow and not a lot happens.

Do you think they can get s few more adverts squeezed into the article?

I’m not even slightly surprised.

Aye. Fair point. Here’s me thinking like a normal person

Honestly I think their whole strategy boils down to perception. A lot of the deaths have been hidden (not including the 20,000 plus missing off the official figures) then there’s the people in care homes (the ones they promised to protect before leaving to die) and you haven’t had the scenes broadcast like in Spain and Italy from the wards. So they’ve been able to kid most people everything is hunky dory. The Cummings story is almost a good thing for them compared to the press constantly asking why there’s been 60,000 excess deaths already. The media on the whole are complicit too. Especially the BBC

I think they could’ve if they’d wanted to.

He’s a fat, lazy cunt. Cummings is the de facto PM. That’s why Johnson wouldn’t let him go. Because he’s have to find someone else to run the show. A fucking PM who doesn’t work weekends but asks retired NHS staff in at risk groups to put their lives on the line.

Is this the worst article ever by The Mag ? Or maybe a wind up ? https://www.themag.co.uk/2020/06/admission-ive-written-to-premier-league-asking-them-to-block-saudi-newcastle-united-takeover/

Fucking mad how America still think they’re the goodies. If this was the 30s, the rest of the world would be gearing up to invade and sort them out.

I'd definitely watch BftBS again as I watched it first as a bairn, then I saw a couple about a decade later. AWP was waay more light hearted even though it could be serious and were similar subjects and time periods. What you said, basically.

I found the contrast between BftBS and Auf Wiedersen Pet fascinating. Both from similar time periods, think the scouse one was slightly earlier, both from similar areas, reporting on the societal situation of the time. Bleasdale perfectly captured the zietgest, framed in some very black humour. La Frenais and Clement superbly captured the regional characters, obviously had a European twist, and was frankly hilarious. I've watched the latter countless times but never really want to watch the former again much. That's a compliment to both sets of script writers.

My favourite was the one where he took the old man down to the docks and he compared the pampered horses from the trooping of the colour to the ones that worked at the docks that were worked until the day they collapsed and died - "there has to be some hope" was the old man's last desperate cry. Should have been compulsory viewing for every adult before every election in the 80s (and since).

Aye. The episode that focused on him, where he was married to Julie Walter's, was fucking bleak as fuck, only surpassed by the Yosser one. Terrible times.

It was beer, brandy and vodka but yes that was a bit over the top.

Very fine people on both sides tbh.

Spotted at an NRL game in Oz today

Christ, you’re on that beach more than Mitch Buchannon

When did you move to Forest Hall?

Me too. On several occasions. (Narrator: He worked at a brewery).

Luke Edwards is fucking buzzing about this new negative report btw what a total helmet that bloke is. To my earlier post I would add I’d find it a bit of a weird stance for the Premier League to reject based on this seeing as BeoutQ has been shut down, if they’re worried about pirate streams blocking this lot isn’t going to improve that is it? Also, isn’t the test applied to the officers and directors? So Al-Rummayyan etc, all of whom are very unlikely to be involved with any of the piracy side surely, we know that the PIF is obviously linked to the Saudi royalty but I’m not sure how much the test really looks through the entities like that. If it is rejected I would hope we can also expect to see the Sheffield United and Manchester City ownerships ousted as well (UAE owns a large chunk of Arabsat), although expect we wont. Luke Edwards proving how little he knows about this type of stuff by saying no when people raised this point, he said it can’t happen since they’ve passed the test already, the thing is owners have to be in compliance each year. So he’s fucking wrong about that as the daft cunt has been quite regularly throughout this, he also wrote it was all bullshit when the Company house filing became public as it didn’t make sense to him, he then deleted the tweet when someone explained it to him. The media agenda on this whole thing has been bothersome and shows just how slanted all of it is to those 6 or 7 wanky clubs they’ve decided are the top teams. Going to personally have a tough time being arsed about football if they reject this due to some utter wank like a link to a few pirated Bein sports streams.

People queuing for 4 hours to get into IKEA this morning. We deserve to be extinct.

Another quiet weekend on the Dorset coast... https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/18487554.amp/?__twitter_impression=true

I would have to assume that the first kilometre long line they form to vote on this proposal will also be the last. For anyone still wondering how the government's response to covid has been so dismal, you only have to look at this plan which Rees Mogg is actually prepared to go public with and keep a straight face.
