So we're celebrating a Gold - Well Done but it's not the renaissance of the British Empire :)

Strictness seems to be a rugby thing though - Once one of our wingers (for Wales) went home for the night and denied it and the then (extremely school master type) coach (Steve Hansen) went to feel the heat from his car engine - it was hot so he never played for Wales again. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/steve-hansen-dafydd-james-wales-14985400

Rye Lane to re-open to buses https://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/2021/jul/rye-lane-to-reopen-to-buses

OK these food shortages are down to the App But correct me if I'm wrong but in the past EU truck drivers would do the full journey across Europe to the UK destination and would not be pinged and probably wouldn't have the App or even leave their cab much in the UK.

Boris on the other hand.

It's as if he doesn't have any capacity to identify with other people.

The EU they say No within 3 hours You'd never have guessed (I suppose that was in the plan as it was so obvious).

It's all gone a bit Hazel O'Connor

On return across the Severn Bridge (when you had to stop to pay) I used to be greeted by the toll collector with "Hello Butt"

Okay I admit it I say "Guys" Even worse I picked it up from Tony Blair.

If Cummings is lying then you get the feeling they are OK with lies or they wouldn't have had him in No10

Here's another phrase - not sure if Aussies really say this or it's just used to send Katie home. "The deputy prime minister, Barnaby Joyce, has also suggested Hopkins be deported, saying anyone who flouts Australian law should ?pack your bongo and get out of the country?.

Ooh they've all been given reference numbers - maybe they can sew that into their shirts for World Cup 2022.

I haven't been going out much but would like to. Probably carry on as before whilst monitoring what happens for a while.

I put my Rye Lane address into this and I got https://status.o2.co.uk/ "Looks like a nearby phone mast isn?t working as it should, sorry. Our engineers are likely to be on the case already, and your service might come and go until we fix it." Updated 17:04 (refreshed hourly). Recent faults might not show yet.
