Sephiroth

and who made you THAT promise Cat? Did they try and sell you magic beans as well? You can say they are acting punitively - member states will say they are protecting their collective interests (something the UK did many times whilst a member)

leaving the EU meant erecting borders - Remainers pointed this out and were told it was project fear - all the distribution issues affecting NI are a direct result of Johnson deciding to put border in the sea - as was predicted the other option is a land border in Ireland - madness But all of this was forecast and dismissed What about shellfish? Was this EU lashing out? Not a bit of it - it goes back to 2020 https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/hapless-defra-secretary-eustice-humiliated-and-schooled-by-the-eu/ Australia have asked EU to review the Italy decision but are relaxed and understand Italy needs them more than Australia does, given comparative death rates - far less hysterical than effra would have it Meanwhile the UK is reduced to paying for adverts disguised as articles in brexit supporting newspapers pretending to outline the benefits of brexit. One would think that if there were benefits these papers would be printing them for free not to mention UK unilaterally breaking the agreement by extending supermarket grace period without consultation

it's a worry that some people might read Effra posts and think they have a point

Ianr pulling up a post from 12 freakin? years ago. Fair play

Glenn Roeder. 65 isn?t old at all

Yesterday you learnt that not all farmers are rich

One possible explanation is that the smiley symbol has recently been coopted by COVID/lockdown ?sceptics?

? Ever seen a poor Farmer ? ? The whole thread is purpose built for bad takes but man alive this will be hard to top I?ve read it many times. Still can?t believe a human wrote it

That shitheel of a group have been Covid conspiracists from way before COVID vaccines even arrived, and they have a long history of, well... https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/04/01/anti-vaccine-group-childrens-health-defense-smells-coronavirus-conspiracy-14681

Shocked I tell you

Man alive Uplandrrd2020 thinks a global pandemic with rampant transmission and mortality is something being ?fed to us by tv? and we should do checks for ourselves ?Hey sephiroth, this is all made up yknow!? So people I know who have died, or people in my family who are sick are just... made up? And where would I go to check this ?misinformation? out for myself ? Maybe if you posted links to this information, you would be... laughed out of town?

Gails part owned by Luke Johnson - Brexit supporter or not, wether that is good or not (he is, and it IS Bad) main problem I have with him is how he treats his staff - he was one of the bosses on that documentary series where managers took to shop floors and he was appalled by conditions but was one of the few to change nothing when he left the shop floor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Johnson_(businessman) My dislike of the man long predates Brexit or Gails

Vaccines are working but the body of scientific opinion is that a) they are no silver bullet and b) opening before everyone is vaccinated not only allows but encourages further mutations this doesn't mean stay locked down forever - but it does mean being more cautious than this govt (and others) were last year. We have cranks like Hartley-B claiming we are in permanent lockdown in the week before we are about to start reopening. We are just reopening more cautiously than last year and that's a good thing (strong correlation between defenders of Johnson saying "no-one could know about the UK variant arriving and causing so much damage" last year and now saying "just open up - we now know enough to not worry about such things")

I'm going to admit to "bad thoughts" about joggers many times in this pandemic (amongst many other groups tbf) and I initially found fishbiscuits postings on here about jogging a tad aggravating But he has stuck with his points and made them well and I have started to try and observe joggers behaviour before bracketing them all together and trying to be more tolerant (even if I do still think that the "bad pedestrians exist too" debate is a bit like bad drivers complaining about bad cyclists existing too - it is both true and yet moot because the faster, bigger player overpowers the smaller one which is ultimately unfair)

sorry maxi - a) I left you out and b) yes I chose wrong thread shame about the gooners comment ;-)

a shame West Ham fans of your on here don't post in here anymore - I'm finding it rather pleasing to see Hammers doing so well

How did you find out you were blocked? Was it when you tried to log in or was it via an email or text alert? Because it sounds like you may have been phished If it was via an email, it's probably worth changing your passwords on other accounts asap

Excel? Foxy is a Supercalc man if every i saw one

I don't want to argue with all of your points there Foxy, but an alternative view is that there is also a pent-up demand and that many people cannot wait to get back out there

I agree with the thread sentiments - but isn't this story a few days old and not really backed up by any serious govr proposals? It's all "maybe" this and "perhaps" that I wouldn't put it past this lot obviously - but I'm not worrying about it just yet

* whispers * it's all an attempted diversion to get the "libs" all outraged given that the "brexit thing" is going pretty badly and "they" can't genuinely stick to those threads so confections like this are all they have I know, I'm embarrassed for them too

I'm sure Hamletter will be along shortly to defend This Absolutely Not Trolling post from his Compadre/Acolyte/AlterEgo The absolute childishness of some grown men remains a constant surprise even tho I know it shouldn't

Back to malumbu tho - judging by general chatter amongst footie fans I know, I think it's a losing battle to try and find a home for the programmes. I would advise chucking

"You have been judged" And the Sssentenccce is.... DEATH

It's a bit of a sliding scale I think If the dominating priority is to declutter then biting the bullet and recycling is the fastest, easiest and IMO best option But if the scale leans towards redistribution, finding like minded people for the objects in question then I think that is good and noble but can lead to stasis and things just not happening
