Random Irritations

[GB72]

Well there were health concerns on the BBC this morning due to the amount of alcohol now being purchased in supermarkets; well it won't be purchased in pubs, will it?

It is ridiculous. You can shove out any number of stories about worst this, worst that because we have never had to shut the country down before. It really is winding me up now, just find something positive, recovery figures, new industries coming out of this, record supermarket sales, just change the tune and show something we can all have a cheer about (and raise a glass of the excessive amount of supermarket booze we have all bought). IN my area local butchers, fruit and veg companies, bakers and even wine retailers are doing great because people do not want to go to supermarkets and are switching to local produce. That is great on so many levels but is that ever covered. There is a whole local economy that is actually booming at the moment and people do not want to go back to low quality supermarket shopping after this. How long have people been trying to get people to buy local and covid has started them doing that. Get that on the news.

Just got back from the supermarket and one thing became quite clear, based on this morning's evidence.
Social distancing was obeyed by most shoppers but those that seemed to pay it no attention tended to be those wearing face coverings!
It's as if they think they are totally immune and don't give a crap about anyone else!

Tedious post on here at the moment, very predictable and make you want to skip an entire thread, I don't know if anyone is the same but I can't be @rsed with trying to filter through 3 pages of tit for tat and arguing.
Once it gets going it's like watching two dogs pulling on either end of a raggy doll.

Absolutely of the same opinion, a dose of thrush is less irritating than some of the sniping and tit for tat dross going on at the moment. I sadly allowed myself drawn into it then other day that's what irritates me even more.

These might be a touch "aspirational" in that case ?

Can highly recommend the Adidas 365 for a roomy fit.

365? That’s some waist measurement

Makes a valid point though and if we're not careful we'll get another surge of infections and deaths and chances of a lockdown again

Yes because of the likes of that halfwit. His point loses any validity when he practices the very behaviour he warns against.

It's like pulling teeth at times.

Whether he's acting like a halfwit or not, unless something is done to stop him and others flocking to coasts and avoiding social distancing we're heading for a second surge. I agree that he needs to act as he preaches but he isn't alone is he

I was at the coast a bit this week. Yes, loads of people, but I seriously doubt you are going to catch covid 19 on a beach. Most are socially distancing, but in reality, your chances of catching it outside are remote. Very remote.

What about the millions upon millions who are behaving?

Other Countries who are ahead of us have halfwits and they’ve avoided a spike, maybe we should focus on the positive.

And the answer to that is surely to follow his own advice, and that of the Government, but he's chosen not to; he's chosen to participate in the very behaviour he decries.

So what's the answer then Homer?

I agree that he needs to act as he preaches but he isn't alone is he

Ah, so there's more than one of him, that makes it alright does it?

Christ, it's almost as bad as getting advice to stay indoors from some bloke in Mexico.

Neighbour across the way has a visitor and parked opposite my drive. (Single track lane)
Now that’s tough luck for me but managed to get on but scuffed the visitors car to get parked. They’ve been parking there every now and again and I thought if I’m on the back shift I’ll have to scuff it to get on.
My prediction was correct.

you can call the police and they will get it removed, there is a law about right of access to the highway. someone used to do that to us, no matter how often i asked them not too they did it anyway, until i was told about this by a police friend, they have never done it since
