Random Irritations

Being woken up at some time between 2 and 3 am by my wife because she cannot sleep. Then being told she has got a Waitrose click and collect spot and wants to discuss what’s on the order .. then she goes to sleep before me whilst I ponder the dilemma of what we need !

Sorry, but that did make me chuckle. Did you get your list done.
 
And is it just me or are there more and more of these companies coming out. Saw an advert for a company called Legs11 last night which was a new one on me

With no sport to bet on at the moment the companies will launch any product/game they can think of to continue to part fools from their dosh

No I started to worry about cravendale milk .. it has longer use by dates but the wife likes red milk and buys pints of it for her tea. I don’t have milk in any drinks but prefer full fat on my cereal if I have it ... so we end up with loads of skimmed. I usually run it out 4 days after it’s date and she doesn’t notice! But water takes a while to go off ? - so my dilemma was the argument we will have about the amount of skimmed milk!!
 
Journos asking at every briefing when the lockdown will end.

Idiots. It will end when it's the right time and that's that. I'd expect most of the population understand and appreciate that so why the stupid likes of Laura Wonkyface keep asking it is beyond me. "Other countries have told their population"...whinge, whine...grrrr!

As soon as they give a date every person and his dog will be counting down to it and making plans, there'll be no stopping them if anything changes and we'll be back to square one.

I'll bet it won't. My guess will now be second week of May. The government cannot be seen to allowing our economy to flounder as Germany / Spain open up and Lord knows how Italy have the mind boggling balls to allow some shops to open now!!!!!??????
 
They are all shut. I've only just been converted to Johnstones. The undercoat twas their stuff. marvellous. But I'd already got the top coat paint in ages ago. long story.....
I'm painting a wall in our spare room now with rubbish white paint as that is all we have in. I reckon it is going to need 4 coats, that's after 2 so far ?. I was reading your and BF posts and feeling even more despair that I had not discovered Johnstones paint earlier.

Do you know something they don't?

Well at the moment they're saying it's not a balancing act between health and economy and that it's all about health. There will of course be discussions about the economy and the general public mood and compliance all around lifting some restrictions and that's how it has to be.
 
Nigel Farage stirring it very politically anti-Tory on LBC. I truly can't bide the guy and usually make sure I change channels before he comes on. But a caller 10 minutes ago from NI was having a real go at Farage for the way he was describing himself as being under 'house arrest' and suchlike inflammatory language. Farage tried to steer the caller off his point but he wasn't letting Farage do that - so Farage did his usual - and ended the call.

Mind you Farage still thinks it's cool to play the recording of Trump introducing him at a rally. Tells you all you need to know about the guys massive ego and his desperation be Trump's bestest UK buddy.

I've now changed channel and listening to Karl Jenkins - The Armed Man ... a very calming and perfect antidote to Farage.
 
Oh and once we are open, we will stay open. No one would dare shut it down twice.
I disagree and do you know what irrespective of which party is in power, if we re-open and we see a surge in infections and deaths, I'd applaud a government for taking a strong line saying no, we need to put measures back in place. What's the option. Stay open and see it return and devastate the population and drown the NHS?
