Seabag

Only an old school landlord can say ?Gentlemen, what are you having?? and make you seem all warm and fuzzy, like the world is ok.

There?s lies to save your own skin, like Cummings did (with BJ?s encouragement). Then there?s lying about who said what. I?d err on the side of poor judgment on the first, and mostly not be in the least surprised in the revaluations on the latter. Johnson is a dreadful human being, we agree on that mostly. And he?s a serial liar, we?d agree on that mostly. And credibility between the two? Cummings is more credible, than Johnson is believable. Most of those things ring ?true? as the type of stuff that streams from BJ.

I?ll go for C. But with masks when I don?t want people to see what words I?m mouthing.

My ex reckons ?nutrient rich food, organics and vit D? is the way forward. Not a vaccine. So there you go, other people in the face of this have a different view, anything else is ?propaganda? apparently. And these people aren?t up for being convinced otherwise.

British workers (I use that phrase lightly) have become more dexterous on the Dominos Pizza app.

I?m going for the gender/sexism neutral from now on Ahoy! Or what did the guy from Mork and Minni say ?

Back on the subject in hand Thinking about it, I?m probably going to go for C. But with added mask caution on the train etc. (Im not going to a nightclub, no way.)

A. I?m sticking with this.

I?m quite enamoured with ?Pal? as long as the person saying it is from Scotland. ?Mate? is ok if you?re from Manchester. ?Buddy? seems to be growing as a term of endearment. ?Fella? I?m indifferent about.

Ha ha, ha? The truth is they?re doing us a favour by coming here and embarrassing us with their skills. Yeah yeah, of course I?m a xenophobe, there you go again putting words into people?s mouths. Ask any farmer trying to get crops out of the ground about labour, homegrown or otherwise. It?s in such short supply that crops don?t get picked or they often scale down the production. We don?t have the skills even when there is the labour to be had, we?re (the brits) not skilled enough. Have you ever watched a team of skilled fruit pickers? Have you ever seen how fast, selective and dextrous they are? And to think people imagine we?re up for pulling ourselves through this situation with a bunch of locals, then think again. (The locals aren?t that keen btw.)

?Yes bredda? is one I?m hearing more recently. Not in Sevenoaks tho, that?s usually a ?Hello? or an elongated ?Hiiii? or a smile with a mumble of some sorts. It?s a proper bubble here.

Oh lorks, seriously. Have you ever done manual labour, of this nature? It?s back breaking , weather dependent and financially soul destroying. Hence why foreign ?skills? are bought in to do it, and they?re the very best at it, because that?s the only way to make it work out and pay. Sometime ago a Cambridge farmer was on the radio, and basically even if you took every unemployed person in the county, including the fat/feeble/down right useless, you?d still not fill all the seasonal jobs hneeded to pick everything. And the very same voters who voted whatever aren?t prepared to pay for a ?picked by a local person? courgette or tomato, because left to their own devices, they don?t give a fck.

https://apple.news/ALcm2TuuSSZKHZjCUdYg1XA Watch the video where Frosty basically says he?s fkd up trading with NI for many. There are ?companies in Great Britain who decide that it?s all too much trouble, reasonably enough ? can?t be bothered to engage with the process,? Lord Frost acknowledged. The two people either side of him are particularly animated, specially the guy to his left. It?s an inspiring clip to watch, unless you?re actually trying to trade.

Did you know one of the many VW vans parked on ?the sunlit uplands? that is Upland Road, is called ?Sunny?. There you go, some EDF trivia.

Are you fkn kidding on water canons? Maybe they could clear your VW campers off of Upland Road while they?re at it ?

Then after I listen to the guy in the chip shop in Surrey Quays ?Enough?flow test..quarantine..people is bored of this life?

The bottom line is like Trump, Johnson is going for the economy and is prepared to let people die for it. Plus he?s bored of the whole situation. He wants some new ?news? to crow about. ?Oooooooo let?s build a boat? or a bridge, or an airport. You know, his usual ?one out of the bag? type banana distraction thing. Chimp Paradox anybody?

Is anyone ?still? watching, or has the novelty worn off? And has it improved and responded to some of the obvious glitches, quirks and faults. Apart from A.N taking an extended summer holiday.

Covid cases up, people walk around ?mask fatigued? or maskless. It?s really not to difficult to see where it?ll head. And when twats like Hancock and CO seemingly flout the rules/advice then how do we expect regular people to volunteer to wear masks etc? We can?t

THIS https://apple.news/AcXNv39L5SlSHtbJhJJZNoA is what kills it for me W4nkers like the Pm and the likes giving it the ?bring it home? nonsense. It?s sport not poxy politics. It?s the England football team. Nothing else. Definitely not an expression of a nation.

Haaaaa? The Cat, love the ?after the convicts? comment 😂👌🏼
