Whitey Grandad

It all depends on who you consider success. Boring the opposition (and the world) to submission is not my idea of exciting football.

I hope to be watching it this evening. In Spain. I shall probably be supporting Spain.

No we wouldn’t. You cannot project today’s results onto a different voting system. With FPTP voters can afford a protest vote knowing that it will most probably not change the result.

We must all do our part to educate the uninformed.

I’d need more than that.

Ball watching

How's the chicken doing?

As a consequence? Nobody knows. But that’s the way it’s been since the world began. Poverty kills too.

People die all the time. The NHS does not and cannot stop most of them from dying. The NHS is not as wonderful as you seem to think.

It’s not me that’s scared. Look around you at the hospitality and entertainment sectors and look at the prices of those that are still around. Margins have to be rebuilt.

Sweden for one. Florida for part of one. I appreciate that these have different social environments.

Just because I post an opinion doesn’t mean that it refers to me personally. For a couple of spells I was the figurehead for local businesses and this gives me an empathy that is missing in a lot of others. Lockdown did nothing to save your associates, did it? Personally I lost my life savings and an inheritance through all this but I kept going as long as I could because I was putting my employees before myself. How is that selfish or self centred? Where have I ‘whined’? The hospitality and entertainment sectors have been devastated and will probably never recover.

I’m afraid that they are.

That’s a low base for comparison.

The picture is much broader than simply counting deaths in hospitals. Who’s ‘whining’ about their own circumstances? The economic damage is frightening and long-lasting. we shall be paying for it collectively for a long, long time. Some countries got it right. Or at least, more balanced. How's that for perspective? People die all the time.

The ‘Official Whitewash’, do you mean?

The whole affair was a colossal waste of money and some people made a fortune out of it at the expense of most others. Can we all agree now that the lockdowns were too severe and went on too long? There is a generation of youngsters who will never recover from the closures of the schools and colleges. We shall be paying for the responses for the rest of our lives.

Really? I can’t work out all this nonsense.

Tidying up the fringes. Good luck and thanks for the goals.

😳 My wife chose the colour. Daffodil Yellow.

People talk of nothing else.

Oops. I think I’d better redecorate my breakfast room.

Indeed. I had one for over three years after my chest operation. It didn’t clear up until I had the infected wire in my sternum removed. It affects your whole breathing with the movement of the ribs restricted.

No. It’s your FACT and no one else’s. You are inventing your own form of words to replace mine. Besides, my wisdom and thinking has always been superior, even when I was young 😊 To get back to the debate, do you think that Farage is not a bullshitting conman?
