Dug up some of my spuds today, made potato and courgette mash. Growing things is a skill think everyone should try to know a bit of. @messenger is that a root sucker off the main plant or a seedling?

My parents are in their 80s & they laugh at the mask brigade as they call them. Tbh its pretty sad state that some peoples last years were spent in terror. The govt permitted elderly genocide & nobody in opposition called them out on it. Mandatory from the 24th, I just won't go shopping now for anything if I can possibly avoid it, voting with my feet and wallet.

I was in sainsbury earlier, loads of older people 65+ in full mask and gloves kits, like the last shift at the hospital had just ended . Its at the point now where I go in rush about to get stuff & then get away as fast as I can, can't bear to see them or listen to the awful messages constantly piped through the store. didn't hear a single person cough or sneeze or anything cold related, but there they were all in fear. A solution (for me)is if they force me to wear wear them damn things I will wear one that looks as absolutely filthy as possible, cover it in ketchup and melted chocolate let it dry..? really disgusting the better... if I get complaints then just .."I'm doing it for you not for me."

"I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it's not." Those were the final words of a 30-year-old patient who died at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio this week after attending a so-called "COVID party," according to the hospital. https://abcnews.go.com/US/30-year-man-dies-attending-covid-party-thinking/story?id=71731414 He didn't say "Oh goodbye everyone, please say bye to mum and dad and billy the dog etc." Why does this story just reek of fake news so much? I remember an article in Fortean times long ago where they had a compilation of these types of stories..

English people are hard to judge we live in an over polite, passive/aggressive society and those types often snap dangerouly. Look at how many ignored 'official advice' and crammed onto the beach, or went on marches.

I use whatsapp and its now owned by.... facebook. Used to use musician forums 20 years ago, but as you say they are like ghost towns now maybe 1-2 posts a day. these companies have certainly dominated the internet, I remember when I first saw the net on tomorrows world.. "the information superhighway promises free sharing of information." or words to that effect. Hmm & it did for a little while only.

I have closed my facebook, only have a twitter account under a pseudonym, I don't have instagram or any of the others. I don't want to feed these corporations who censor anyone they’re not tracking down or manipulating. There seem to be quite a few alternatives rising up now but I'm growing kind of bored of social media anyway. What will be the future for social media?

I can't wait for the day when the virus is finally gone.... & the 99.98% who survived get the chance to rebuild our shattered society from the rubble left behind. ?

That is so sad, on my 16th birthday I had a kawasaki moped that I got for £50 & rode for a year, it was a bit of a wreck but it was wheels and freedom. The cost of insurance is a killer now too, at my last job there was a lad with a 1.3 engine car, he was about 19 & the insurance was something like £3000 a year!

Shops here are still looking pretty empty (small town Herts.) I haven't been to a shopping centre either as for the reasons in your post. Really don't fancy queuing like that for anything. The young people here have vanished! used to always be a few hanging around the town centre, but I've not spotted many in months. Their parents are keeping them at home? I'd absolutely hate to be young now, barely any freedom to do anything or go anywhere. In my younger days a load of us had motorcycles, we'd ride to the coast or to a forest, set up a tent & have a party, crash out then ride home the next day. I can't imagine them doing that now (or being allowed) their world has shrunk so much.

Kind of joking, but you never can tell these days what is truth or fiction.

I just got a call from Neil Ferguson.. apparently 20 billion will die from this according to the predictions he made on his sinclair spectrum.!

They are being removed because they bear the head of the fake Queen and we have King John III now..? ?

Meat processing places keep being 'infected'. Yet not a single Amazon warehouse or even a supermarket etc.. has had to shut because 'covid'. This is very strange and I wonder what the 'official ' explanation would be?

But how can it be rising now? Mask wearing is increasingly seen everywhere.. unless the masks do nothing...? Oh God noooooo?

Claudius was able to escape from Caligulas reign of terror by feigning being a bit mad and simple. Playing the fool is a survival technique.

I'm skint lol. :D

Parler is a mass doxing event just waiting to happen? I heard you have to upload a photo of yourself or scan your driving licence etc just to join... Any site that asks for that... no f$#$%ing way, I left Facebook because they wanted my phone number..

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/coronavirus-conspiracy-theories-rampant-age-22264265 The tin foil hats are back on. The very stupid love a conspiracy theory because it’s a way for dumb people to think they’re not dumb. And it’s strange to think that back then, the idea of millions of people believing in a secret society that controls the world was so daft it could form the basis of a mainstream comedy. Who knew that 10 years down the line it would be reality? I think he's blown it with the last comment and will be sacked over that.. indeed who knew it would be a reality.

It's the same the whole world over, It's the poor wot gets the blame, It's the rich wot gets the gravy. Ain't it all a bleedin' shame? Name some countries that don't have dark events in their past. The Chinese treatment of Tibet, the Belgians in the congo,tha Japanese massacring the chinese, the Zulu killing millions of other africans,etc, etc. At the moment though it is the White Brits who are claimed as responsible for every evil ever done lol. We drink a lot because we like to drink, in the 17th century we were castigated for going to the tavern on sundays and not going to the church.

That is so funny. ?

You're right, I don't imagine many will be so cooperative in round 2. Also a whole lot of the under 25 crowd have never been through a recession where they lose their jobs and are forced onto jobseekers to survive, the last one was 12 years ago when they were still at school. The hungry get angry.

A Taylor baby acoustic. Fender mustang bass (played bass in my last band) Casio keyboard. Ancient bm nylon classical Alto sax which I don't play so much as it's LOUD.. Yamaha Pacifica electric. Amps and pennywhistles and things lol Alexa is that a chinese pipa?

some people will always want to be seen as conforming however ridiculous it may look.
