BBC TV this morning.
Thousands on the beach down south, that's bad.
Thousands outside Anfield, that's fine cos it's football innit.
All sorts of behaviour in football gets excused through the excuse of 'passion'. On the pitch, off the pitch, players, fans. Apparently it is all okay because people are just showing passion :rolleyes:.

Passion now also gives people immunity from the virus, same as a righteous cause does, the right to go to a beach on a hot day etc.

The response from the Mayor of Liverpool

The mayor of Liverpool has called the celebrations at the city's Anfield stadium "a little bit frustrating" after thousands of football fans celebrated Liverpool becoming Premier League champions on Thursday evening.
"People believe, wrongly, that we're over the worst of the pandemic," Joe Anderson told the BBC.
"In the euphoria... people have decided to ignore advice [to stay at home], but it's gone, it's happened.
"We'll have to see whether there's a spike in coronavirus as a result of this."
"But if Chelsea or Manchester City had won the league, we would have seen the same scenes outside Stamford Bridge or the Etihad," he added.
"We are where we are."

So that is all OK then.

Once again it's next door neighbours children. If it's not temper tantrums it's screaming. It's currently screaming in the garden:mad:

No it’s not OK, but it’s the truth and what could he do after the event?

This is the same Mayor who weeks ago said the PL should be cancelled and the title awarded to LPool as it was obvious fans would congregate.

He was then ridiculed and accussed of scaremongering and Liverpool Supporter groups demanded official apologies.

Sat in my car the other day waiting for HID so out of boredom started fiddling with various buttons etc. Discovered that I can set an audible speed camera warning in the satnav settings that pings even when I'm not using it (which I never do anyway as I use Waze if I need directions)

Not sure if this is a random irritation as I've had the car 3 years or something to gladden the heart :unsure:

Other than barricade off the streets from miles around I don't what he could have done. If City had won it would have been all for nothing. It is down to individuals in the end, self responsibility. The mayor was on a hiding to nothing.

Just gone out to mow the lawn before tomorrow's storms. It is boiling hot, and my mower has chosen today to drop it's motor drive. It is now a heavy manual mower. I am sweating like a pig now I am finished. It is beer o clock.

the past 3 days I have had neighbours kids screaming and their dog yapping and the mum thinks that shouting louder makes them stop - it doesn't it just pee's people off who are working in their summerhouse

Nightmare. I've resorted to playing music very loudly each day it's happened this week if I've been in the house.

How very dare they,
Don't they know their place.;)

Love the post, 'we don't support Independence for Scotland says Sir Keith Starmer.
Fair Doos Sir Keith....we don't support Labour.[and their ONE Scottish MP.]

Is Keith Keir’s unfashionable twin that nobody knows or talks about?

Askin for a friend ?

I think it was inevitable that Liverpool fans would ignore advice no matter what. It isn't right but unless all access areas were blocked off (would Merseyside police even had the manpower?) how else do you stop the fans making their way to the stadium. It remains to be seen what effects Anfield and Bournemouth beach will have and if there will be any spikes
