We’re an island. Of all the countries in Europe, we should have been the one to be able to keep the virus out/eradicate it quickly from our population, by imposing strict measures. If we weren’t run by a balding weasel from Durham, we could have.

FYP

Do they test their new stuff on you?

Her decision on whether or not to allow that is imminent

Wor lass was muttering about 'middle earth', 'Gandalf' and 'Bilbo Baggins' etc last night. I thought, 'she's Tolkien in her sleep again' and rolled back over.

28% of cases associated with work, 4% with hospitality! This is shit. These restrictions won't bring R down to below 1, so at best cases will plateau. There's no way out of a tier once you're in it. I am beginning to just think fuck you, you tory cunts.

“ …Ordered not to have any social contact with anyone outside their household in any setting,” But get to fucking work where you’ll be in contact with potentially hundreds, because we’ve had enough of being socialists.

Hamish, are you doing the fringe at Edinburgh this year? I haven't heard you mentioning much about it lately? No, Crawford, I'm taking some time out this year. Tried a small routine on Kevin Carr's gloves and you could've heard a pin drop. Not even a titter. Thinking of getting into the English tapas scene with a friend who lives down south of the border, instead.

There was a Doctor I follow on twitter this a.m. it said he could maybe become a paramedic

I was on 40k a year in London and managed to make myself almost extinct every weekend.

But did you destroy her ring?

Glad to see your time spent with Crawford and Hamish is paying off, KCG.

And especially Nena.

I think one of your mates has hacked your account.

Whilst this government flits between right wing authoritarianism at best & chaotic evil at worst I don’t know how I could ever be ambivalent about voting labour no matter how bland they are. Also I imagine the tactic is to establish trust/power and then gradually move left. (Starmer is literally on the board of the Fabian society)

I just wish Hadrian's wall was the border, as every thick southern fucker seems to think, as a proud Northumbrian (of Scots heritage) I'd have best of both worlds

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE A TROWEL????

you have to vote for the least-worst option. i held my nose and voted for corbyn last time - i also like my local labour MP.

what is it the point in being principled in opposition? ideological purity doesn't win elections

They won’t win another election, or even form a coalition, until they figure out how to win back the red wall, as distasteful as that might be for the pro-EU twitterati. He also needs to show them he is patriotic, something again that will offend many, but remember Blair managed that nonsense beautifully. Remember the last time this country was a nice place to be? The Blair/Brown years

I spotted a headline by ex-Ronny journalist, Chris Waugh, raving about him after the Burnley game and almost rang his editor asking to check up on him and suggest a drugs test? That Wilson chance where he rounds the keeper, goes too wide then looks for a player while the keeper is stranded sums Joelinton up as he lackadaisically half jogs, stops, then too late makes a run and is intercepted when Wilson makes the pass. No urgency, no vision, no feint off the defender, fuck all. I don't hate the kid, he's just super average and even if he's not a striker, an attacking midfielder would've saw his chance and tried to take advantage. I honestly don't know what he's supposed to be in the side as the best game I've saw him play recently was Spurs away and that's only because he ran around a lot and tried to keep possession when we barely touched the ball.

Plus a huge opportunity to illustrate to the sceptical half of the public how Taking Back Control might have its benefits after all. Weird that they didn't want to, really.

We could make it a whole lot easier by cancelling the whole Brexit fiasco.

Still gash, just no longer the focal point of the attack. Journalists spout absolute shite on the whole

I think the real economic damage has been done by delaying the inevitable. That and all the other catastrophic decisions previously. Like locking down too late, not locking down properly, waiting too long to make wearing masks compulsory, not really making wearing masks compulsory, not enforcing restrictions, coming out of lockdown too early, encouraging people to socialise, allowing hundreds of thousands of students to travel to university when they knew infection rates amongst that age group were high, etc, et-fucking-cetera

Aye, I’ve told me dad he can come round to see the bairns if he cuts the lawn and cleans the windows

Nurse! He’s ran out of tablets again!

Everything asked of him seemingly doesn’t include actually bidding for the club?

It’s a wonderful recreation of the originals, we used to all play them as kids, take turns with the challenges and stuff. The graphics are obviously way better but I’d say they’re even good for PS4 standard. It’s visually great. Like the originals it starts off really difficult but once you do the different levels and get some stat points you turn into skateboarding Jesus. Definitely a good time killer & really fun & rewarding.

Vould.

No, that would be silly.

He's less Ian McKellen and more Ian McSmellen, amirite?

The North shut first, eh? Quelle fucking surprise

He had more hot spots against Burnley than his other games so he's now cush.

I was just thinking ‘Mammy!’

Here’s a compelling reason: he might win an election and actually improve people’s lives? Unlike the unelectable rabble that came before him

This https://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~268638~90042895:Esso-Pictorial-Plan-of-the-West-Cou was moved around our 2 family homes for at least 45 years...it’s got lbits of verse & doggrel all around it like the one below.. We stayed at St Coulomb (was this near where @The Fish stayed? If so we successfully avoided him ) at the start of September which is about 10/15 mins inland from Newquay in an Air B & B. Great location, basically in the middle of everywhere. Hiked out to Polly Joke beach where the sea when the tide is out is about a mile from the Coastal Path. Went to Fowey caught the ferry to Mevagissey, saw porpoise & dolphins going out & coming back, then got mildly pissed at lunchtime at the 14th century Fountain Inn. Cornwall, even when mobbed with tourists, is fabulous. Went to Hartland about a decade ago, another brilliant walk/beach/lighthouse.... I like.a lighthouse 🤓

Honestly I could not be nicer. I'm just an all round great bloke. I'm confident she would agree without me even having to remind her that this is only her first week back and things can change quickly.

That little cunt is retired.

Glad to hear it Gemmill. You lazy twat.

The recent abstentions haven't been an endorsement of the bills but an attempt to amend the bills (which are going to pass regardless) in committee stage. Labour have been vocal against them in the debates. Covid isn't the sort of thing you want to be making into a political issue. Labour have supported the government when they believe they've been doing the right thing and opposed them when they haven't, that's the right thing to do.

Run!

You will not pass!

Watching a replay of Fiorentina v Sampdoria. The kits, man. Simple, never change and stylish as fuck. Bonus points for Sampdoria as there's no sponsor spoiling it. (Compare their away shirt with ours or Man U's).
