Anti Facts Sir Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 So Queenie-poo is sitting out tomorrow as well. Not even the horsies can tempt her this time. So that's 1 day out of 3. And even the one day they chose was the one where she could only be viewed at a distance. Any chance of people getting too close, and she's orf. I know how she feels though. I experience discomfort when I have to watch this shite. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoyo Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 The average British person has no idea beyond BBC ITV C4. The average Brit believes millions of other Brits have died from “THE COVID”. They don’t know anyone who died from covid or anyone who knows anyone who died from covid but millions of Brits died of covid. If it weren’t for the vaccines we’d all be dead. The queen helped us through the deadly pandemic, like she and her family helped us beat Hitler. God save the queen. Cunts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're brought up eating apples, you eat apples, without questioning it. But the truth as always sets you free. And if you take the time to look at it, you have to pay money for a party for a person who you every week pay money too and give special privileges too that other citizens can't enjoy - seems a bit Stockholm syndromish to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useyournous Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I've been on a couple of long bike rides to escape the jubilee. I go for comfort and drinking in the countryside, not Lycra, aggression and self-harming. The seat on my bike is as big as a footstool and I wear my joggers tucked into my socks and a baggy t shirt. I have a basket on the front where I can put my cool bag and other necessities and off I go at a slow pace escaping the norms. If I stop for a drink people say "are you ok?" because to them I look abnormal without all the expensive gear and they think I'm lost and demented because I'm not going hell for leather! I don't need a garmin to monitor me because I know the way, how far it is and I know I'm moving. I am actually burning the same calories as them but I just take longer and actually relax. I do it because I like it so the calories burnt are an extra. A bit off topic but I recommend it to get away from the mainstream torture now and again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about that, i quite like the idea of being a viking roaming around the countryside with an axe pillaging stuff! So way more fun than this conformist slave to the machine world we live in today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webtrekker Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Personally, I'm not impressed by these entitled parasites and their fake military regalia. Anyone remember Army & Navy stores in the UK where your parents could buy cheap ex-army clothing? We were so poor I spent the first 5 years at school dressed as a Japanese Admiral! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinfoil Hat Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Well I'm looking forward to a family BBQ at my brother's, probably followed by a game of Trivial Pursuit or similar Nobody will mention HRH , and when I get home I plan to do a bit more of my 1st attempt at a watercolour landscape. Bliss! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And talking about 'poor.' Folk these days don't know the half of it. When I was a young kid in the 1950's we had to SAVE UP to be poor! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliss! Good on you, TH. I had a bash at drawing with pastels a good while back and surprised myself. It's never too late to learn. Currently though, Photoshop serves all of my 'artistic' needs and I get a lot of fun from it. My uncle was a self-taught Pitman Painter here in the North East and he was very good (oil on canvas).

We need relief from the horrors going on. Your bike ride sounds like a perfect escape. Edited June 4, 2022 by Tinfoil Hat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
