I may well plant the Union Jack into the front hedge … just to piss off Mrs. Plaid Cymru across the road.
Most things feel better when she’s upset.

She’s just one single neighbour. I feel like that about the majority of a) my compatriots; and b) my species.
Bring On The Limpets, thass wot I say. Oh, and C’mon Cymru, obviously ;- )

I did have a note through the door last week asking if I would like to join in by having my own personal tea-party on my own drive.
I didn’t actually get fully dressed until 4pm today, as I got abit chilled dozing.
Tomorrow is also World Red Cross day, as it’s Henri Dunant’s Birthday.
Proffers Medicinals

I’m inclined to agree. In other ways, I’m quite fond of the buggas. But - wot did they do with me Labour Day? Ugh. Back to me jigsaw.

The thort of a tea party in the garden with no guests is dreadful simply dreadful
Some of us have better things to do than catch gerrummnms from our neighbours attempts to be friendly

That’s what the dolls are for.

Remembrance isn’t rationed, of course, but we already have a perfectly good 11 November.
And I shall stop there (although we also have a perfectly good politics thread)

What happened to ‘Protect the NHS’?

Staying at home rather than presenting as bonkers seems to me as though it should save NHS resources.

I was thinking more of the blood transfusions and stitching that would be needed by anyone trying that kind of thing on a self-respecting cat…

I think it’s just “the Cellar”.

Blimey! Is remembrance ‘politics’? Not in my head it ain’t but then, I don’t ‘do’ politics - or read politics threads for that matter.
Still, I shall consider myself rebuked and not mention my take on this subject again, even in reply to what others have said about it in this thread.

Not at all, TFM
It’s all slightly (!) surreal, isn’t it?
In another life, many moons ago, this was the busiest week of my year, as I was the volunteer responsible for fundraising for The Red Cross in Chesterfield.
I used to visit 10 Pubs per night collecting money & didn’ t have a drink in any ovvem…
Friday & Saturday were the Street Collections in the town.
If that wasn’t enuff, it was often the Eurovision Song Contest on the Saturday night… 
I may be found drinking Medicinals, & rocking gently this afternoon…

Remembrance isn’t politics, necessarily, but the moving of the BH this year and the whole subliminal narrative of the bunting-infested celebrations that were planned certainly is.
I wasn’t rebuking you, TFM, and I’m sorry it came across that way and very sorry indeed to have offended you.

Not at all, just a bit pissed off - and a lot puzzled, tbh.
No problem though.
