I'm in NI, was only in London for the weekend. No issues here but I don't think it's anything to do with us being in the Single Market for goods, we also have issues with a shortage of HGV drivers, just not as acute as in England. Taking everything else out of it the main issue here is panic buying, if everyone calmed the fuck down there'd be enough to go round. However, the panic buying was predictable and the fact that the government doesn't have a plan to deal with such a situation is as disgraceful as it is unsurprising.

Renton 17744 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The government will stumble from one crises to another from now on. People are already forgetting the gas and energy crisis, which hasn't gone away. Long-term predictions are we are in for a very bad winter, especially February, If this happens and we get some calm cold weather we can expect power cuts and gas shut offs. I've read Russia doesn't have enough stocks at the moment for its domestic market (remember how cold their winters are), this will have a knock on effect to Europe, and obviously we are last in line wit no storage capacity, and little goodwill for EU countries to spare what little they have. All this on top of rising inflation, food shortages, and now fuel shortages. May as well get the popcorn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) There's footage of some dickhead pulling a knife on another driver going round. The driver reversed back a bit then promptly drove forward & knocked the fucker over. Exactly what I would have done Edited September 28, 2021 by trooper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went in 2019…. go and see Spiros in the Captains Bar in town, he used to play for a Greek divi 2 side but his lad has gone to Olympiacos I think…. Stopping in a villa on the coast about a mile past Lindos. We stopped there last year. Spent most of the week snorkelling in the sea with the bairn! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14031 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 In fairness, it's not quite as bad as that makes it look when you break it down hourly. Tomorrow daytime should hopefully be mostly all right, for example. Island weather can be massively changeable in both directions though, obviously. #PrayForMeenzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17744 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The islands of Scotland are like Greece. Without the sun. And with the midges. Yeah, I am planning on Arran next year as it happens, a bit earlier in the year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesco at KP had completely run out of normal unleaded and only had premium left. I splashed out cos I'm a gangsta but the place was bedlam. What a winter we've got in store here. I'm now with Octopus Energy as all Avro customers have been hoyed across. They seem like good lads so far.

As is Rhodes Town (the old town). Been on a Med cruise with a stop at Rhodes Town a couple of times too. The island’s worth a tour if you have a car. The west coast is wild and largely deserted, as it’s windy as fuck. Lots of ruined castles from the crusades We had a drive to Prasonisi beach last year where the Med and Aegean seas meet each other. Pretty cool to see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17744 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Does look lush that, and the other photos. Seems like years since I was in the Med. Oh wait, it is years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I don't recall at any other time in my life Christmas needed saving. Now twice in a row just after Brexit? Seems the plan is to lower expectations on Brexit so low anything that is approaching normality is a massive win. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
