Yep and they're not done yet either And a lot of the new builds are absolutely horrible. Must be designed on some computer programme that optimises what can be squeezed into a space because it's all so tiny, really tiny. Over behind Morrisons the roads are barely wide enough for two cars and as they build most of them without a garage the cars are parked along one side reducing it to a single lane. Consequently its easy to get stuck there waiting for a gap for ages and the people drive aggressively to try and dominate the road space if an opportunity to pull out happens. Such shit planning. It's hard to believe it was done on purpose. Peoples blood pressure trying to get out of that place to get to work in the morning must be sky high and the exhaust emission with all that aggressive stopping and starting can't be good.

@Tango Blue sky, I remember that from somewhere, it's been so long I don't know where

But yer looks a bit that way.

Blimey that took me by surprise. I read it thinking you were commenting on Pete not missing home and thought Jesus calling Pete’s wife a narcissistic cunt is a bit much when you don’t even know her Doh. Must be the mask reducing O2 levels in my brain.

I've not heard Moon say he didn't miss home to start with. It's quite unusual to not to miss family, friends, certain foods. Not that I'm saying you're a psycho though...

For most people (not Pete) when you leave the country you grew up in you miss it. Miss friends, family, food, familiarity. It's not possible to replace a lifetimes worth of memories with new ones in an instant. Then over a period of time you build a new life and your memories, friends and family are in the place you moved to. Going back 'home' is no longer home.

Meh

Simple wanker

Think he's pretty effectively stuck the knife in, severed his family ties and stands little chance of ever being reconciled after the damage inflicted so yer he's going to need therapy. They should have let them go when they wanted out but they wouldn't because stats wise he was the most popular Royal. Would you want your kids brought up in that fucked up way or would you move away from a dysfunctional family set up? Strikes me they need to cash in while they can and keep their profile high or they'll lose their income stream.

Got the day off and have successfully spent too much money on fabric for an upholstery course I start next week and bought a number plate with the last three letters 'BSA' for a bike I don't yet own and may get shot of if I don't like it. A fool and his money oh yeah.

My god I can see the sun?!!

FFS. Of course they do. If you were having surgery would you like your surgeon to be unmasked or masked? How do you think infection is spread? Or perhaps thinking might be a bit of a stretch for such a daft statement. For the terminally media influenced - A virus has to catch a lift from one infected person to get to another. This is usually something that contains moisture as the wall of a virus is fragile and breaks down easily. This is in part why infections go up in the winter because they don't desiccate and expire so easily. The moisture used with colds/flu etc in humans is usually respiratory and usually a cough or sneeze. With a more resilient virus' like coronavirus it can in part survive on the tiny droplets exhaled in a normal breath, that is where we start to get into the territory of whats considered 'airborne' The virus has to successfully land on a site to get into the host (the person), this is hard for virus' to do as the mucous we are coated with is very good at simply washing everything down into the acid bowl that is your stomach. It's why your nose has hairs and snot up it. That is also why virus' have spikes on them. So imagine an army where your chances of successfully hitting the bullseye with only a couple of weakly recruits are low, your chances of hitting that bullseye is significantly increased with multiple quality commandos. When you wear a mask you automatically block all the large droplets (the commandos) from coughs and sneezes leaving the smaller droplets (the weakly recruits) with less chance of surviving let alone hitting their target. I don't have my crayons with me but hopefully you can follow that.

Ooh time lapse?

I don’t know but don’t you need a layer of clingfilm or something like that?

There’s currently flu, influenza-like illnesses that aren’t actually flu, strep, tonsillitis, RSV, rhinovirus and then you have things like metapneumovirus, parainfluenza on top of coronavirus and they can all give the same symptoms, it’s basically a viral free for all out there at the moment, I’ve considered putting my mask back on when out!

Lovely and yer to the damage the Kirsty Allsop/Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall brigade have caused. Mind you at least its not close enough to the city that they can commute or that lovely countryside would have been developed into sprawling housing estates by now. That’s what happened where I live.

I often used to cycle into a headwind swearing to myself and thinking about how much easier the return would be with the wind on my back on only to discover the wind had changed direction

Have you seen the basic tools he uses to create his magic? Cool old skool styley.

Shitloads to do today. Including the horror of having to buy an oven. Kill me now. Where’s @Sir Fallsalot? I’ve come back for my fix post Christmas and he’s nowhere to be seen. Fred.. FRED… FFFRREDDDDDDDDD

Urr he might be. In fact he sounds it so probably. oops

What he said

Just finished the first series of Slow Horses and started on the second series. Gary Oldman as the rude irascible old cockney is superb. When he opened his gob I thought oh NO an American doing a cockney accent this will be dire but no he can do it convincingly enough that you really believe it. Reckon he watched a lot of Grandad in Only Fools because he's got that knackered gravelly thing of to tea. Plots entertaining too.

That is ubiquitous over here, if you can’t be arsed to do it yourself every supermarket sells two or three types with the garlic butter already sliced and wedged for you. Some of them are really crap, some of them are pretty good.

Difficult not to notice
