Weston Super Saint

Looks like those lorries in London didn't get the memo. Instead of gallivanting round the Capital, they should all be stuck in Dover / Calais.

It's a proud town and rightly so!

Spanish flu it is then (again)!!

Nobody was making unsubstantiated claims when the virus first emerged in China.

Doh. They stated on the news yesterday that Britain currently has 30million doses of vaccine stored in the UK, enough to last until the refurbishment is completed and beyond. I cannot find any verification of this, however.

Oh, I see. So it's only racist to name a virus after the geographic location it came from if it affects people in the UK. That makes way more sense. We should be good to go with the 'Brazilian' and 'South African' viruses then (for now), but the 'English' virus is a definite no-no!

Looks like it's getting worse - so much for the far superior 'buying power' of the EU! https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/factory-renovation-delays-european-unions-pfizer-vaccine-deliveries-by-3-4-weeks-2353200 Not sure it's the best time for a refurbishment but if it makes them more efficient then I guess it needs to be done!

Did the same happen for 'MERS'?

Plumber goes in to fix washing machine only to find the 'lady' of the house scantily clad. Invariably he ends up smashing her back doors in.

Undoubtedly. I was merely trying to bring a little balance from the same article Odd though that they only 'tasered' him. Soggy claims they were all 'armed to the teeth'. You'd have thought they could have shot him with their own weapons...

Later on in the article it says... A group within the rioters circled Fanone and protected him until help arrived, saving his life. It also says he's a 40 year old narcotics detective that has been in the police for 20 years. When he heard what was going on he grabbed his uniform that he had never worn and put it on! As if by magic it fitted him! At least there must be one American cop that doesn't eat lots of Donuts - either that or he was a fat fucker 20 years ago

And 10% of kids starve. Oh well, acceptable loss I guess

A stopped clock on the other hand....

Not if it's digital. Not if one of the hands falls off.

Swapped for what? pie and chips?

I agree with the vouchers - although they should have caveats about what can and can't be bought, but I think they did previously anyway??? You may be wrong about the Government's mates though - but you'd have to research the political leanings of the supermarket 'bosses' as it would be their profits rising...

Or, in other news, company makes circa 50% GP for it's product in an industry where 70-75% GP would be the norm. Unless you thought they were doing it for free other than the conspiracy theory of a donation to the Conservative party? For the record, I can't imagine for a minute that Chartwells will be heading down to their local Asda for their shopping needs, but will, like every other large catering company, be ordering in bulk from wholesalers. I imagine that they will therefore be achieving a reasonable 70% GP.

Because, to the overwhelming majority of people in the country (and world), it is. That doesn't detract from the fact that it can be devastating for those aged 70 and above and also those in certain at risk groups. Both concepts can exist concurrently.

Pony!

Annoying really, that wee Jimmy Krankie can put something together that is simple to understand and implement, yet the entire British government can't decide the definition of local!

#BrexitShambles

Metropolitan police Commissioner has her say on the definition of 'local' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55630164 Although I'm not holding my breath that egg will accept this definition and certainly won't take back his 'selfish cunt' accusations

A mere drop in the ocean compared to the famine of biblical proportions, outages of medicines and collapse of trade that was previously predicted to happen in the first week of January

My 'local' news on BBC covers from Glastonbury to Bristol (about 28 miles), so 7 would be well within that definition...
