There not sure what they're posts are actually saying their.

(can't be bothered missusing the your and Wear...)
 
An Irishman, Englishman and Scotsman walk into a bar

The barman says "Is this some kind of a joke?"


Yes, the medical officer resigned, as she should have done. Arrogant, ignorant, or just stupid? Well, from her qualifications she isn't exactly stupid in the academic sense...so that leaves the other 2 options above.

If she hadn't been the public face on TV preaching to us several times a day, she might have got away with it...the word "contempt" springs to mind...

but, this is the Keeping it Light thread!
had fun this morning watching a squabble between a squirrel and a blackbird...very entertaining interlude before my breakfast Cava:)
 
I know it’s not strictly CV19 related, but maybe it could be as I’m sure they are on lockdown in Birmingham Alabama ... Sweet Home Alabama has been a sentimental fav of mine over the years and this version takes the biscuit. They won the Eurovision Song Contest with it, if I recall correctly :) .

I find it a bit ironic that someone who’s party is constantly having a dig at the nasty tory capitalists thinks it’s ok to have second homes ?.....frankie krankie will conveniently skip this detail I expect
How do you know what, if any, political views or affiliations she has Baddegg?
 
I would think the guidelines allows people to check on empty properties that they own, whether that be a second home, a shop or café.
But what it assumes is you go, on your own, and spend a minimum amount of time.
You don't take your partner, and kids and stay all weekend, for 2 weekends on the trot.
40 miles or 40 minutes from their main home.... could have been there and back in a few hours
 
I did try to bring this thread back on topic earlier...however having read subsequent posts I guess folks must have their say...

Anyway, back to current concerns...I'm doing a lot of cooking and learning more each day.
For example, here is a tip if you live alone, only want 1 portion of mince to cook for your dinner, but froze the whole 500g pack:
1. Place the frozen block of mince on a breadboard
2. Insert a fresh tungsten-tipped blade into your multi-tool (mine's a DeWalt cordless, but any make will do!)
3. Using a combination of passes and plunge cuts, portion the mince into sections
4. Return the extra portions to a plastic tupperware type dish, separated by some greaseproof paper, and pop back in freezer
5. Thaw the selected section of mince and cook it, and while it is cooking, clean your blade thoroughly and put it in your cutlery drawer, smiling smugly...
 
why cut 500g. down. ? that's just an easy portion for one along with a fryer full of chips.
 
LoL no! I don't have a creative bone in my body. :)
me same. think it's the mindset. we do techy stuff, the artisic creative ones draw pictu

It's NOT vegan!
It's offal, sheep's gizzards and suchlike, topped rather neatly with some token veg!
The green stuff is kale, granted...but it's only there for colour!

On another topic, I was chatting to my daughter on the telephone the other day, and as I stood near the TV the sunlight was slanting through the window...OMG, look at the dust!
She said, same here, are you going to clean it?
I said yes, of course...ain't doing anything else.
She said, send me a picture,. i love a good Before and after shot...

Oh it’s kale is it?
It looks like something I stepped in doing my one exercise of the day through a cow field.

That'll be a cow pat, rather than a postman pat, or pat the dog.....

Bet she’s got some local paid pleb, that could of done that for her!

I’ll also self isolate on the naughty step. ?
 
A suspected Covid-19 male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.

“Nurse,”‘ he mumbles from behind the mask, “are my testicles black?”

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, “I don’t know, Sir. I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet.”

He struggles to ask again, “Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?”

Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.

She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.

She looks very closely and says, “There’s nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine.”

The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly,

“Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very, closely:

“Are – my – test – results – back?”
