Just looking back through some old photos and found this classic one of some cheese on toast she made me. Of course, she then got a cob on and said I was selfish for complaining about it. How I haven’t divorced her I don’t know.

Struggling to think of a better motive for any action in human history tbh.

Too busy decorating my new bedroom mate.

My captain.

I've just explained to Daisy the the difference to between Nosferatu and Nostradamus. She said, "please don't put this on the forum".

Each to their own of course, but these times are stressful enough, so I’d rather post pointless polls and vote in other people’s pointless polls, than spend my time arguing in the Coronavirus thread and stuff. I’m all for a bit of light relief, like.

A current picture but a really great one none the less.

Lols. Interested to hear what our ‘right leaning’ posters make of this. @A Red @Rico1304 @SasaS @Lizzie Birdsworths Wrinkled Chopper

The old positivity sandwich. He has strong beliefs, did something a bit silly, he helps out local charities and scored important goals. Good for him for the positive bits but fuck him for glorifying terrorism to his kids. Because thats what he is doing, balaclavas in NI signifies terrorism, no 2 ways about it. Bastards on both sides in balaclavas, terrorised and killed kids in the name of freeing/defending Ulster.

He looks like someone we know.

"Local man has a strong opinion about a foreign army who killed innocent civilians in his city." No issue at all with this. In fact, it deserves widespread respect. The balaclava history lesson was stupid but its hardly a crime. For those who think he's irrelevant; he's not considered so by those in Ireland who have watched him score goals in big qualifier games for major tournaments. And he is not considered irrelevant in Derry where he pumps money into helping the homeless as well as the local cancer and spina bifida charities. But go ahead and carry on having a go at a lad who has the balls to stand up for what he believes in.

Nearly a year sober as I’m in recovery. The old demons have been swirling around a bit more due to the current situation though. Perfectly normal I suppose. I’m a nurse as well so the thought of dealing with work in the current climate and relapsing and going in hungover etc doesn’t bear thinking about. If I can get through this without having a bevvy I’ll look back on this period and be proud of myself.

I work selling phones, these rumours started with 3g then 4g. I once spoke to an engineer for what was t mobile at the time he'd put masts up in a village. Loads of people complained of headaches etc, problem was nobody had switched the masts on.

Bonjour Hello je parler le français un tout peu anglais je suis fan de Liverpool je vis en Belgique

I can't doing with this Jonathan van Tam. He's as big a slippery cunt as the twat who lives in number 10. He never answers the question he was asked, he answers something slightly differently while telling everyone how difficult it all is. The girl before asking about the number of test that Germany and South Korea have carried out and their lower death rate and is it fair to assume our lack of testing has cost lives. He doesn't answer that, starts going on about how they're working hard to get the antibody tests right, how there needs to be a tiny margin of error, otherwise people will get results that tell them they're immune when they're not. She didn't ask you that you arrogant fucker. She asked about testing who has the disease NOW, not who's had it and has our lack of testing cost lives. And despite all that he still ignored the comparison with South Korea and Germany. Gobshite.

Bill Withers is a big loss to the world. What an artist.

You're just jealous you didn't make it to the Lizzie's Brownshirt Clique.

My mask update is that it's hard to find them online, particularly from a UK supplier. However, in searching for "face masks" on Google shopping, I discovered this and might buy it. UP THE BEANS!

Yup, no need to stick a balaclava on to teach your kids about the British Army murdering innocent civilians in your city, and the government cover up that followed.

There's a really good brewery down the road from me (https://www.wildcardbrewery.co.uk) that is doing free same day local delivery, so in spite of it being expensive I too have gone down the quality over quantity route. Mrs Waffle is currently 5 months pregnant, so I am drinking for 3 (or something).

Its fashionable not to like them but I dont care, this is my favourite Side 1 of ELP

On my work front - shambles! I was sent home from work for health condition (I have a heart stent) 2 weeks ago. Home working was promised. Last week I was on annual leave anyway so that was ok. Monday I get a call from my manager to say they’ve done a risk assessment and I can go back to work the next day! Bit of a shock but I go in on Tuesday , hardly anyone in, they’ve all got long term conditions! I can’t help wondering why I’m back! Social distancing was promised but the stupid cow who is 3 desks away from me keeps walking over to me - I point out she should be 2 meters away - she gets all grumpy but I don’t care as she’s annoying so her stopping talking to me is bliss! I then find I’m locked out of my PC! I phone the IT desk, they normally do it in 5 minutes. I get someone who’s working from home and isn’t an IT guy! He says they’re very busy and emails someone to phone me. My shift is 5 hours and they never did get back to me. My job is impossible without the PC. I do very little and go home. Two hours after I get home I get a call from my manager saying they’ve had a meeting and I’m to stay at home until I hear otherwise!! So now I feel in limbo, don’t know if the home working is going to happen or not.

Got this dive map on the wall showing all the best sites. It’s not conventional but clearly a map of the world. I said to her that when this is all over we should throw a dart at it and go wherever it lands. “What part of the world is that?” ”It’s the whole world” *baffled look* ”Really? The whole world?” *sigh* ”Really”

Her: People have been furlonged in work today Me: What do you mean, furlonged? Her: This is what they call it when you get laid off, but you don't get laid off Me: Have you spoke to people today about people being Furlonged? Her: Yes Me: What did they say when you said people had been furlonged, did they say much, look funny at you? Her: Yes, how do you know, no one really wants to talk about it, everyone must be upset Me: Yep, that'll be it, dead upset. What do you fancy for tea, horse? Her: What? Me: nothing

I can’t explain.

I have to admit, grudgingly, that the last couple of nights performances from Hancock were far more professional than the likes of Raab , Sharma and Johnson. He obviously realised he needed to up his game when Turdseye and his shipmates filleted him in December. I wonder if he was pushed out of self-isolation early because of how badly the briefings were going.

Yes, yes he is good for local charities, his daughter, is a lovely lad normally and has strongly held opinions etc. but it is irrelevant when looking at what he did. The fact of the matter was he acted like a complete and utter cunt whose only saving grace is that he apologised. Hopefully he will learn and stick to playing football and not do the likes again.

I've heard him interviewed a few times. Comes across incredibly well. His care for his autistic daughter has seen him row in behind that community really well. That, along with his community support, is refreshing. He's a young lad though, and will do dumb things he thought were funny. The balaclava was one of those. I'm sure he thought it'd just wind up the "right" people who accuse him of being in the IRA, etc, and everyone else would find it funny. But instead it will have wound up people he didn't want to wind up too. He's taken it on the chin, and if you look at his apology it is one of those rare occasions when it's not a standard "I apologise if you were offended" non apology, but a genuine and sincere apology. If everyone was as principled and supportive for the right causes as McLean is, the world would be in a lot better place. He can make dumb mistakes and as long as he realises it and apologises like any adult, can move on and keep doing the good things he does.

Well thats that then, got our first nurse on Monday. Steve reckons he should be arriving early evening.

The Queen will speak to the nation on Sunday about the coronavirus outbreak - only her fourth special address at a time of crisis during her 68-year reign. Buckingham Palace said the message, recorded at Windsor Castle, will be broadcast on TV and radio at 20:00 BST. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52155430 I hope she stresses that we should all stay at home and not bugger off to our holiday castles.

Tanya Roberts is off the scale hot, gets my vote everytime. I'm looking forward to the 'Your favourite Last of the Summer Wine character' thread in a few days.

I don't even know where to start with this? It's so badly thought through from word one until the end. You know he's from the UK? He's literally from the land of his oppressors? So does he have to move to the Republic of Ireland, or Spain, or some other random country before being allowed to be vocal on the horrific, murderous, oppressive horror that has been the 800 year British occupation of Ireland? "If you don't like it you can leave your own country"???? EDIT. for the avoidance of doubt, his photo was really stupid.

Been a while since I last logged on. Wow.....11 years on and this post is still knocking about. Ha!

Greg Lake has to have one of the richest silkiest coolest voices in the history of Rock, in my humble opinion.

I had Carry On Cowboy in my 3 as when we had to corporate "team bonding" laserquest days I was the Rumpo Kid

The carpet has Covid 1 to 18 in it (stolen from Paul Chowdhry).

Blazing Saddles. Though I do wonder if they have a fry up with their beans.

If she throws the dart you might end up with 2 weeks behind the sofa. im here all week, don’t have the beef.

Done the first three series of Always Sunny in Philadelphia now. Should have been watching this years ago, it’s superb. Only 11 series left until I’m up to speed.

Back in 1977, I heard a wonderful acoustic ballad called ‘Dust In The Wind’. As a young aspiring musician, it was one of those songs you grabbed your guitar to, and played along with the radio. A lovely piece to play and sing to. Reminded me of America. So I bought the album, that the song was on. ‘Point Of Know Return’. What I never bargained for, was getting a taste of America’s greatest Prog Rock band, Kansas, already by 1977, in it’s second incarnation. FUCK ME THEY ARE GENIUS. What a history, and what a discography. They have to be one the best ever bands for live faithful reproduction of their vinyl sound. The original members re-incarnated 30 years later as ‘Proto Kaw’ and I can highly recommend a listen on Spotify or You tube etc. Anybody else ever give them the time they deserve? And one of my favourites ‘The Pinnacle’ live !!

You have obviously not been on the political threads in the GF.

I've been in the Brick and if you get out with only Covid you've had a right result.
