Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un, 37, has also declared a war on cats and pigeons and has ordered authorities to 'eliminate' them as he believes the animals are spreading Covid-19.
Authorities along the border have been seen shooting at birds and searching for cats as the supreme leader believes they are bringing coronavirus from China

@Orikoru - looks like you have a licence to kill :LOL:
 
Ringers! Had our cup final last night. First half was a tight affair, nil nil at half time. Second half they brought on a lad who was clearly several levels above. He ran rings round us. Literally scored a goal where he did a couple of keepy uppies, knocked it over someone's head, danced round another three players and smashed it in from outside the box. We lost 3-1 with him playing a big part in another goal as well. We looked up this guy, he used to be a professional player on the books at Reading, and he's still only 33 so not exactly past it. He's signed on with this Sunday team but he's only played 5 games. They bring him down as an insurance policy for big games. What is the point though? Just completely ruined the contest in my opinion. I wonder if the other players feel the same sense of pride knowing that they relied on this guy to win it for them?

If he’s signed on with them then he’s not a ringer, is he?

Limiting myself to 3 today!!!!

Todays lying estate agent (no they wont be building on the fields left or behind the house! not what the planning permission granted in 2019 says lol)
Used car salesman (smug didnt do him justice haha)
Double standards, especially from people in so called positions of authority. Hypocrisy is not a good look!
 
Road noise…

Driving on the M25 stretch between Guildford and Gatwick exit, the road noise is terrible. Can bearly hear each other speak.. radio turned up a few notches. No idea what the road is laid with. Some of it - on either side of Cobham services - has been laid in the past couple of years. I am sure it is low slip and eco friendly but it feels like it is shredding rubber

I hate that section with a passion dis to the noise
 
Sunburn! Perks of being ginger, sun comes out for five minutes and my upper arms, ears and neck are bright red. I might as well be a vampire, it's not far off.

I'd be grateful if you could spell out exactly what racism is so I can check whether or not I'm racist according to your list

You must be hanging out in the wrong golf clubs. The ones I go to all seem to be pretty inclusive.
 
Me thinking I can do a job that I've never done before without asking my son's advice (very practical). Sure I got it done, but now I've explained how I've done it and how long it took me, he, in 2 minutes flat, figured out the right way to do it and it would have only taken me about 30 minutes. And been a lot less stressful.
 
The covid nazi at Taunton racecourse Saturday. Everyone else was wonderful, professional and a credit to the NHS. But there is always one isn't there - this guy would have probably insisted on putting on a hi-viz jacket just to cross the road. He was enjoying his position of authority a little too much.
