Monkeys Fist

Reminds me of that George Carlin line, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

Never get tired of watching it

Bernard used to own a creperie in Newcastle.

Don’t go for a walk at Marsden, then.

Yes.

Fuck it man, go big or go home.

They can hardly call themselves Black Pussy Fans though, can they?

Still need a first dance, though.

By the end of June, apparently. And aye, he is

Is paternity leave an EU directive? Asking for a Tory pal.

No. Because whoever was playing won. Therefore not CT. ( he also says in his post, “not my win”).

Mackenzie Crook would be a better fit

“Democratic” dictatorship incoming.

Rumbled!

Paternity leave? Holiday? Furlough? Anywhere but where he should be.

He’ll be gutted when his best man buys him a proofing basket for his wedding gift.

His personality is as unoriginal and dull as his decorative choices.

Only wants his test results if they come in a brown bag.

Aye, don’t get me wrong, I think the small indie places are still very perilous as far as surviving this goes, but they seem to have responded to the challenge very well. The Free Trade, for example, were instrumental in setting up a “buy now eat later” voucher system for the street food vendors who come to their pub on a regular basis- all whilst they themselves were struggling to see how they’d survive. That kind of attitude fosters a very sound community spirit between the businesses and the punters, which I’m not seeing from the larger businesses. Still no guarantees though.

If the penny(well) doesn’t drop after this, it never will. And we all know it won’t.

Also, Wetherspoons can get fucked.

I think the Free Trade and it’s compatriots will be ok, just- they seem to have enough people through online support, willing to buy their beers to takeaway to see them through. I totally agree with you about pedestrianising areas like Front St, Grey St etc. I posted a link to a BBC article on here the other day which said that’s the plan for the city centre. If North Tyneside don’t follow suit at the coast I’d be very surprised.
