yes it is misty ........

I have a couple of bottles nightly. 0.05 % alchol. Near beer. Tastes the same.

On reflection David, gluttony is nearly as bad as drunkeness and can be as bad regarding health.

One mans meat etc;

Maybe all things in moderation a better option.

Regards.

clashing maybe of 2 different type worlds etc & views it appears here now David . Days of being a piss head is long gone for me here, thankfully but everything even today (in a drinking sense) has a place in society somewhere in moderation I suggest/suspect .

March to November what would he be thinking now David I suggest, especially with what I'm about to say here etc on the virus scenario . Now, if it was raining down here today 5/6 million odd locals would be jumping in puddles for the sheer enjoyment factor I suspect as believe it or not, we have here now past somehow the corona test of a clean bill of health by the so called experts of the day. 28 days on the trot here now of no known cases with the virus issue & no known deaths, thankfully. 3/4 months ago we were having around 700 odd cases a day here, which was about to become totally unworkable/unmanageable in our general hospital system if things continued on as normal. In the end thou people power here got smart & somehow did what was required to reach where we all are down here today. Final word for the Trump & Boris believers get smart somehow maybe & just follow the lead/example of a bunch of simple convict types, that at the end of the day are no smarter than what you are on average I suggest. & take care now .

whats the secret remedy knackered, what have you crims done to reduce numbers ........

No winners in this situation Knackered all working in the dark.

Down one day up the next.

 Easy to complain,see them at it every day on the  television decrying the  efforts being put in, in an to attempt to deal with the matter, more political capital being attempted rather than offer constructive alternatives.

The biggest problem is people not being prepared to adhere to the rules.

You cannot judge the means if half are ingnoring the rules.

What makes me laugh ( not the word  realy applicable) is to see gangs of young people going to school and college holding hands and larcking about in gangs and then being forced to keep a distance whilst at school or college.

Think the only way for a long term reduction and control will be when we have a successful vacine.

Regards.

Truth be told David I believe we were shocked into action I suspect 3/4 months ago down here when we started loosing many of our old folk       in our local nursing homes to the virus.  For us as humans here     it was a total wake up call that we had a fight on our hands & it was to the death if things went on as is at the time. Sick to death I'm now I'm     of hearing about certain types complaining about certain minor type restrictions being placed on them these days with the virus scenario that they may face for a few short months & like what we did down here to fight the fight for the cause of controlling the virus in a manageable type way. For myself on average, they were all minor in nature if one places them all beside or compares them with what your country went through there years ago for 5 odd years with your 2nd world war type of experiences & my experiences from the past here as such as a young lad in an army sense . Easy to be selfish in nature these days I suggest/suspect & with what is going on with the virus around the world, but what a total indictment of ones self & your general society if that is what you so choose in the end for the future I suggest  .   & take care .

Sad but true etc Misty I suspect with what you say about the vaccine being the saviour for mankind type of thing. A hell of lot more are going to die thou I suggest, unfortunately before Mr average finely gets a shot in the arm for the cause as such. & take care.

tier 3 for us ...cases are a rising in the west country and one suburb has one of the highest amount of cases in the country ,3 local schools in my area have whole years shut down ie alfies school 1st year was closed ,nephews 3rd and 4th years local freinds 1st year senior another school up the road has another year shut down ...stay safe guys atb

Same here oldstrain, Grade Three.

Our nursing homes are getting  a rattling.

Personally fed up as most are with the whole set up.

Used to go dancing three times a week, no better exersise, played bowls many evenings, and snooker 3 hours every Monday, for the past 25 years in most cases.

Met our friends on many occasions every.week.

Since February been almost house bound, just take Misty out morning and night and keep away from other people.

We do go for a drive but do not get out of the car, (not exercise) just to stop goimg mad.

You can keep in touch with friends but it is not the same as being with them and many of ours are in the not recently retired catogary.

Can be pleased in not being subject to the virus but a hard price to pay.

Just hope the vacine proves the reakl Mc Coy.

If it was not for being able to bemuse, confuse and irritate you lot on here I would already be in the NUT HOUSE.

Regards.

Bit of GOOD NEWS, been on tender hooks for a few weeks on another matter.

Had to have an eye test to renew my driving licence.

Lost sight in left eye due to bungled operation, got glucoma in the other eye.

At test, wearing mask, glasses misted up, uncomfortable when taking test, had it all worked out how to appeal but received new licence for three years.

Had I any doubt about my sight for driving I would not drive, but it would change our lives completely.

So at least I have something to celebrate.

Regards.

We live in terrible times now I suggest etc Don on average. 2020 will go down in the history books I suspect somehow as a one in a 100 year type of event by the end, hopefully. Now, for us convict types down here it was just a simple mindset type game scenario, with how we all went about dealing with & confronting the issue head on in the end I suspect   . Tree's or virus      best look else where maybe & not rely too much on the politician types like Trump or even poor Boris to solve the problem, is what I would say from my experience here now with the virus pandemic or even if somehow     one is having a tree type issue to solve       .     & take care

Glad it all went well for you Misty with your license issue etc there. Dread the day down here also when I can no longer drive safely & then I hand it in. Even today I'm reluctant to drive anywhere at night & it was actually one of the main reasons I finely decided to pull up stumps on the racing side with the birds here. & take care.

Thanks Knackered, same regarding driving in the dark, can only just cope with the idiots who keep their head lights on full, so avoid night driving.

Hope you can keep able for a long time to come.

Shouldn't have bothered David maybe, as thousands here on our local road have no license at all etc I'm the drug addict types & drunks when caught out see no purpose in having one down here. Now     my little rant for the day here     people that drive & have no general car insurance for when they have an accident & are then at fault & then just leave the poor innocent party to foot the bill for all their repairs. I would happily crush their cars with a big big     on my face being who I'm     & throw them all in jail for a holiday, with my nature & ethics here as it is as such    .  

I agree Knackered about the uninsured and uncaring drivers.

The problem is that there is no deterant, many are drugies, alchoholics and just plain criminals.

They have not a care in the world, if fined they cannot pay, no room in the jails,
you crush their cars and they steal another one.

Time we had work off fines and hard labour camps, no cushy jails, an eye for an eye, would work better than making crime a decent living means.

But then most of our representative would probably be doing hard labour.
