    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Interestingly Vietnam locked down in January, extremely low infection rate and an economy that doesn't appear to have gone down the pan. Meanwhile over here if you want to catch covid you'll have to get to the pub before 6pm, after that you're stuffed till next day. Couldn't make it up ... hang...

    Bike Locks

    There's a 'D' lock on the market that's new and a bit different in that the curved D tubing is square instead of the usual rounded. On tests I believe it took 15 min or more to cut through, the only drawback is it cost the earth.

    We're a brainy lot us Brits, I believe I mentioned on here once before during the Falklands conflict the news media stopped people in the street and asked them where they thought the Islands were. Some said off the coast of Scotland others near the Isle of Wight :rolleyes:

    I think you'll find that's the same for most court fines that are issued flecc, can't pay wont pay so it's forgotten about. I see someone's been fined £10,000 for organising a rave or whatever, is there any chance the courts will ever see that dosh where would it come from ... I know another...

    The advantage of buying boots from Lidl & Aldi is you can try both on together then test them for high speed running ;)

    What we should have done is what we could not have done, followed Vietnam's example and instigate a lockdown back in January ... and for them it worked, we just don't have the same mind set. I was listening to a phone-in on R5 recently and a ex-pat in Saigon said " you people in the UK are quite...

    The only real problem with the " let it rip " scenario is it doesn't work ! Let's say you work in an office environment and walk in one day with a stinking cold, you end up giving it to others who in turn give it to their wives kids etc. ok so it lets rip and many people catch your cold any harm...

    When you think about it we have Trump - Putin - Kim Jong-un - Johnson, leaders of nations that hold sway over millions yet they are complete lunatics. No wonder people want to go to Mars to get away from it all.

    That's because they didn't count the under votes, when every vote was eventually totted up Gore got most. Sadly by then the Justices had already decided Bush had enough to get in, if we see the same thing with Trump he'll stay right where he is now for another four years. Seems he's narrowed...

    Just been to a very large Tesco store, things happening there alright. Barriers across part of the entrance so you can only enter one way - only one lift in operation - stairs now blocked off, never seen that before - exit through one small door one way only. People standing just inside...

    Here's an interesting bit of info I heard after the Trump resurrection show last night. Having appeared on the White House balcony yesterday waving at his disciples Trump went inside and that was that .. well not quite. The White House press & camera team were so overwhelmed by the occasion they...

    Sadly though flecc you can't do a deal with the devil, he wants it all. I don't believe for one second the UK is going broke, not in the slightest ... nor will it.
