I have been standing outside, in me big coat, listening to the faint sound of a bell tolling at the Crooked Spire Church in Chesterfield.
The spire has had a fantastic light show, & it was decided that, after tonights finished at 9-30, the tenor bell would toll 217 times to mark the number of Covid deaths at our Orsepiddle since March.
3 Candles are lit, & I may well have a glass of summat, now.

Meanwhile I have been looking at the vaccination “plan” and mentally cancelled Airecon in April.
Instead of 5G masts it would make sense, from a public health viewpoint, to burn down school children buildings…
Especially for you, Gus:
I wrote that script for Jeremy
How depressing. Sympathy, Hedgers.

Thank you, joe. He did a good rant, did JH.
They’re coming for the boardgamers!
You can take my meeples but you cannot take my FREEDOM!
(I assume that playing on-line like normal people wouldn’t have let them lose huge amounts of money to each other.)
I particularly like the report that they were playing in a dark room. How did they see how many dots … No, let me guess. They remembered.
Braille dominoes?
Luminous dots?
(I suspect that by “dark” they mean “not blazing away the way modern night-blind people like it, just a moderate level of illumination like a few lamps”.)
Or “Blimey, it’s the rozzers” – then the lights were doused?
Nice to see the fine tradition of Plod mangling language and syntax is being maintained by CI Shaw…
Unless it was poor transcription on the part of the reporter. They kick off with ‘eatery’, after all, a word that would get them stabbed in some places including but not limited to ‘within reach of my arm’ and ‘in the eye’.
SNORK!

Snork!
I did like baffling sergeants by using proper English in reports
So,Scotland goes into highest restrictions/lockdown from midnight tonight for the rest of January
We are to hear a statement at 8pm about what happens next with us…

Meanwhile, in Ireland, those of us who dared to question the decision to relax restrictions for Christmas were dismissed as “scaremongering”…
Budge up on the scaremongerer bench Joe
When the closing of schools was emerging ever more clearly as the only possible course of action despite all the obstinate posturing, sending many English primary pupils back for one day to mix and snotter and in the case of YR & Y1 probably drool all over each other and the poor bloody infantry teachers was nothing short of criminal. Look for a spike 11-14 Jan, folks. SSJ.
