Shy Talk

Sky in South London this evening blanketed in God knows what.

Wimbledon only started three hours ago and they've had to stop two games already (and that's just the ones I've been watching). First one was a ballboy who was clearly in some distress, while someone in the crowd has just been taken out of centre court. Commentator immediately jumped in with the pre-prepared 'in a crowd this size you're always going to have these incidents'.

This guy knows the score.

Thing is, you can physically prove if someone's a eunuch, so it has far more validity than, say, 'non-binary', which has this gobbledegook description on google: Non-binary[a] or genderqueer is an umbrella term for gender identities that are not solely male or female—‌identities that are outside the gender binary.[2][3] Non-binary identities fall under the transgender umbrella, since non-binary people typically identify with a gender that is different from their assigned sex,[3] though some non-binary individuals do not consider themselves transgender.[4] Non-binary people may identify as an intermediate or separate third gender,[5] identify with more than one gender,[6][7] no gender (agender), or have a fluctuating gender identity (genderfluid).[8] Gender identity is separate from sexual or romantic orientation,[9] and non-binary people have a variety of sexual orientations, just as cisgender people do.[10] Being non-binary is also not the same as being intersex; most intersex people identify as either male or female.[11] Nonsense.

Maybe should be moved to Environment/Climate but worth pointing out there's some kind of what they like to label Spanish Plume is reportedly on its way in a few days. These 'plumes' have been around longer than we have. They used to be called a hot spell. I'm sure most on here are already aware, but it can never be repeated enough that worthwhile meteorological records have been kept for less than 150 years, so bear that in mind if some character says it's the hottest/second hottest etc June day since records began. Factually correct in order to grab headlines but less than a pimple on your ass in the whole scheme of things.

Possibly, but I doubt they would have left it to chance that a load of tourists would show up. There's no way they would have let this turn into a damp squib. On the subject of damp - thunderstorms are forecast half hour after the party. How convenient.

I'd be amazed if at least 90 per cent of the crowd outside Buck Palace tonight weren't paid to be there.

Very randy Andy 'positive' Wonder if it's the lengthy version. https://news.sky.com/story/prince-andrew-tests-positive-for-covid-buckingham-palace-says-12626242

They almost got away with the Covid crap but this is now embarrassing.

Supermarkets/pret in UK apparently removing chicken from shelves due to salmonella 'scare'.

Apologies if posted elsewhere. Kudos to the Mail for pointing out the bus was 'cream coloured' - it's the little details that count. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10791247/The-Mail-tracks-group-migrants-ushered-UK-four-star-West-London-hotel.html

This morning they stopped play in the snooker at the crucible in Sheffield due to a spectator taking a funny turn and seemingly having to be removed from the auditorium. They swiftly switched the cameras back to the practice tables and safe pair of hands, presenter Rishi Persad, who immediately (and pointedly) said to Stephen Hendry that spectators taking ill has always happened regularly in pro sports. Hendry clearly wasn't up to speed with the BBC agenda and ended up fudging his response.

As Take That sang so accurately, and with such foresight, in the early 90s: 'If you get a flu attack, for 30 days you're on your back'.

If we were still in the depths of the Covid con, it would be difficult for the msm to ignore this, but because we've now been shifted to the depths of the Ukraine con, there's barely a whiff. Pathetic, if you can see.

The striking thing was how the commentators had obviously been prepped for that sort of incident ('whatever you do don't mention the vax'). I'm sure the msm are currently squirming their way through Warne's passing without mentioning the vax.

One was definitely Ken Doherty. Didn't recognise the other voice.

A bit random, but they just stopped play in the Welsh Open snooker due to a health incident in the crowd. Reason for mentioning it is because the two commentators immediately went into some pre-arranged scripted nonsense, claiming it was particularly warm in the arena.

Unbelievable they're still pushing this, especially as they've dropped mandates for health workers. We'll all be on a database anyway for posting on here! If anyone gets caught unawares by such a call, either end the call or just say time has shown me to be on the right side of history.

The thread title hasn't aged well - we're approaching two years! In fact I can't remember a time when this guy didn't have Covid.

Just to add to that, he's either naive, disingenuous or somebody's 'had a word' with him: https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/dont-know-covid-vaccine-caused-retirement-aguero-responds-stupid-/blt5f3f42aaf0c15196

The Covid nonsense is gone. Unless they release a genuine virus they won't suck in the gullible numbers again if my jabbed-up mother's anything to go by. She believed it all until a couple of weeks ago, when they suddenly said it's ok to ditch masks etc, and then started hyping the phoney war in Ukraine. That really opened her eyes. Hopefully she's not a one-off.

Basically as you were, apart from replacing a potentially gone mildly rogue Boris with a hand-wringing yes man/woman/etc.

This Trudeau has Covid crap. Is it really falling apart for them so badly? Are they really backing down this pathetically? Let's hope so, but don't give them an inch.

They're clearly gender-neutral.
