From ground control no doubt...

Bit pervy that.

Which ads topped it? Anyone know?

Should have kept the £38 million and gone on a bender with escorts, champagne, caviar, and all the trimmings.

At least. Westminster Abbey tomb next to Isaac Newton, posthumous VC, promotion to Field Marshall, name on the cenotaph. Carried by field ambulance driven by an NHS hero to the sound of thunderous clapping nationwide. Today will forever be remember as Cap'n Tom day. Battle of Britain Memorial Flight to do a turn and a couple of landing craft will sail up the Thames. Her Majesty will lead the nation in mourning.

Captain Tom is in hospital with the dreaded covid and is being treated for pneumonia. I don't give much for the old boy's chances but, apparently, his family is allowed to be with him. I thought this was banned? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/01/captain-sir-tom-moore-joined-by-family-in-hospital-after-covid-diagnosis

All I can say is it's a bloody good job we stopped the Germans from invading back in 1940. We'd all be speaking German now. They would have put us all in camps. Rule Britannia and God Save the Queen.

Mutually exclusive.

Absolutely. The collective psyche has taken a severe beating over the past year. Some will not recover. Those who live in hope that we will one day get back to 'normal' will fare the worst when the realization dawns that we never will.

Here's a tale which illustrates the horrendous damage this scam is perpetuating. We have a friend who comes from a large extended family. Said friend is divorced an lives alone with her dog. She does not buy into the covid hype. Her aged mother lives with her other daughter who has bought into the scam 100%. Our friend is now banned from seeing her mother until she can prove she's negative for the virus. In fact, nobody is allowed into the mother's home unless they can prove they are covid-free. Our friend will celebrate her birthday here with us instead of with her family. We'll make it nice for her but it isn't the same. She may never be allowed to see her mother again and, as her mother is 84, who knows how long she has left.

And here it is...

Me too, but the gamers are giving them a run for their money. I'll stop now because I don't want to derail the thread Peace.

Another good but incorrect answer. There must be some footie fans on here from the late 90s early noughties.

Good answer but not the correct one. You must not be a football fan.

Speaking of anal swabs, you've got to ask yourself a question: what would Posh Spice do? Answers on the back of a tenner please.

Probably got a bung.

She's amongst friends.

Whatever it is, it's a fifth columnist.

'The Power of News' by Michael Davie (1992) contains an interesting anecdote about Pagel's german father. Here's the quote: "During the Falklands War, Rear-Admiral William Ash, on censorship duty, telephoned Manfred Pagel, the editor of Reuter News Services, to complain that Reuters had reported the presence of the British fleet near Ascension Island and to ask if Pagel was not concerned about the safety of ‘our forces’. Pagel replied in his German accent that that was Ash’s business, not Reuters. ‘I’m not British.’ "

That's true. I was at school back then and nobody wore a mask. The only time we covered our faces was on those damp foggy mornings when we'd wrap a scarf around our face. See how the rewrite history?

If there one thing mice do well, other than eat and reproduce, it's poop. We used to keep pet mice at school and they were cleaned out every day.

That's the problem. Refusal needs to be coordinated and in overwhelming numbers. Without an effective means of communication, it will be hard to do.

My belief is that is temporary. There will be platforms developed outside the umbrella of big tech.

Yes. Unpaid fines result in a summons. If the summons goes unanswered and you fail to appear, a bench warrant is issued. If people refuse to pay, the courts will be overwhelmed. There won't be enough beds to lock people up in lieu of payment.

They won't. And they're not crazy or theories.
