Women.......????

You're doing the drying up, you come across a utensil that you haven't seen for a while, so you ask her nicely where it goes.
Why does she reply with "the same place it's gone for the last twenty years".

It’s nice to know you pay attention to these things

The media reporting of the death of Phil Spector. So many seem to be glossing over the fact that he was a convicted murderer or add it as an afterthought.

My local news paper, tweeted a link to their daily local Covid update which gives west Berkshire updated figures. Headline of the tweet was along the lines of 'another significant rise in cases'. when you look at the numbers, it was the lowest daily increase in 10 days!! Why not shout about that???

The sacrifices people are making in lockdown showing signs of working, or trend of news cases gives hope...

door knobs.

I've got a doubler.
Went for a walk with the missus in the local woods yesterday, its turned into quite a popular place since the lockdown last March. Absolutely rammed again, groups of families out en masse, people walking up and down the designated red and black mtb trails, there was even an ice cream van in the car park ?

The amount of employers not following any Covid guidelines in the workplace, I feel sorry for some of the guys forced to go and earn a living in these conditions.

Is that at Chopwell? It made the news the other week, for being so busy.

Yes, I think I posted about it on here, the main car park was closed due to snow so all the visitors just parked willy nilly all over the village, blocking driveways and generally causing chaos.
There was one couple yesterday who had brought one of those massive quad bikes with them, unbelievable what some people think is classed as local exercise. Apoligies, I sound like a broken record here, I'm not after another squabble about what exercise should be allowed ?

So - let me get this straight - you and the wife went for a walk in the woods and you're complaining about the number of people walking in the woods? :D

People out for exercise, on electric bicycles, or electric scooters. Neither are exercise. While I am on it, walking very slowly isn't exercise either. Not if you are relatively healthy anyway, and most I see ambling about easily fall into this category.
