I havent heard that one @mikethep – still have to quarantine although number of days has shortened to 5 IF you take a test and it is negative.
Sounds pretty sensible to me

Sobranie? I remember them and also when we tried of looking effeminate we went for the cool of Gauloise except they made you cough like a motherfucker.

@Tiggerlion I fully agree it is scary. It is also scary for those without jobs and potentially losing their houses at some future time.
Just to put this into perspective I am not looking at it from my own position […]

Yeah the one I am seeing is the London Gospel community choir- I have seen them before and they are excellent but also large in number.
That John Prine tribute sounds fine though

Nothing in those comments comes close to the bile spouted by Morrissey so a little confused with the headline.
I think these days Lydon is a cartoon character but I dont consider any of his comments offensive […]

The Covid police are out in force where my mum lives. Knocking on doors asking if the occupants are okay but ostensibly checking how many are in the house and if there are parties

I went to Buenos Aires once and took a taxi trip to La Boca. As we approached

Me too.

Not buying that Mr Sauceceaft . The extended family time with the family as you rightly say could take place any time of the year. December is as good a time as any in the UK- its half way through the months of […]
