I must confess to a snigger when âClap for Borisâ did the rounds
As I have said before, there was no clapping for the NHS at this end of our long road, which was most odd.

The Two Minutesâ Love seems to have stopped round here.
It has stopped everywhere. Officially. Inasmuch as it was ever official in the first place. Apparently there was something encouraged for the NHSâs birthday, though.
By the party that voted against its formation 21 times.
Well, if it hadnât been formed it couldnât be flogged off, joe, now could it?
Wouldnât be the first unformed idea people have been soldâŚ
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, serious philosophical questions are being raised:
âIâm the only politician in history that Iâve actually kept more promises than I madeâ
Would that be the Orange Idiot?
Any political messages from a country that invented Covid parties is dubious I think
Just when you thought things couldnât get worse, apparently the Daily Excrement is trying to drag us into the B****t BS:
âLEADING Irish political figures have drawn up a plan that would see Ireland follow Britain by leaving the Brusselsâ âbulliesâ and quitting the European Union.â
For the record, this is about the âIrish Freedom Partyâ - a handful of Farageâs stooges. They fielded precisely eleven candidates at the last election, none was elected. The only thing they lead in is the number of deposits lost; most of them went out at the first count.
Itâs domino theory all over again (or more along the lines of âthose chancers got what they wanted, maybe we can tooâ).
At this point Ireland is the only natively-Anglophone point of contact with the EU. Sort out how to get goods across the UK without the border formalities and you could cash inâŚ
People have been managing that for nigh on a hundred yearsâŚ
âŚor so Iâm told*. Not that Iâd know anything about that sort of thing personally, of course.
*Possibly by a little bird. But I wouldnât know anything about that, eitherâŚ
Well cows have managed to smuggle themselves over the Border since 1922
The trick would be getting between Ireland and the rest of the EU without border formalities on either side of the UK, which is a bit trickier.
I recommend trebuchets.

Back in the early 80s, I was on a tour of Germany with local orchestra & choir. One of the trips was a visit to the border, with a talk on the history from one of the border guards.
During his (very interesting) spiel, he suddenly broke off, frowned and stared off to one side. After a few seconds, he turned back to us: âI wonder if I should report this?â He pointed to a clump of weeds: âThat butterfly just defectedâŚâ
Your COVID restrictions in full:
Blue: back to work!
Green/Yellow: some restrictions on large gatherings
Orange/Red: do not leave your home
Eh? Whut? Who?
Note the thread I posted in.
