RMweb Gold ian Posted May 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2021 Well, it could be a case of someone stealing BJ's identity and expecting that the subsequent paperwork would get lost in the Downing Street staff. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is either: (a) Unpaid child support; or, (b) Someone maliciously ordering stuff in BJ's name? Neither possibility seems to narrow down the field of creditors very much. On the other hand, who do we know with a grudge? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Soon I shall pay a return visit to Didcot, and, I hope one to Mountsorrel. I think the Rutland railway museum might also be on the cards. That's probably all I'll attempt before Dose 2 in early June, but by the time the kids have broken up I should, if I'm spared, be well on the way to Peak Invincibility. Thereafter, there are so very many places in the UK I'm longing to see after my freedom is restored that Abroad can wait until 2022, if then. Still not in a hurry for crowded indoor venues. And I wish there would be some form of Selfish D1ckhead badge that holidaymakers returning from overseas are obliged to wear, so that I can avoid them. York Show, April 2022, not sure about anything sooner. 4 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recalled that in the peak of the pandemic Denmark had euthanised 15 million small fluffy animals. I looked it up again, hoping they were lemmings, which would have enabled me to make a pithy comparison with brits who travel overseas at the moment such as "Dont go to Denmark, look what happened last time!" or similar, but they were minks.

I watched a sheepdipping once, like the children above, when on holiday in the Brecon Beacons. No one was dressed like that, it was soooo much more muddy and what has just floated through my mind (like a dipped sheep) is what did the farmer do with the insecticide in the dip once finished? The (un)dipped sheep look far too clean too... It must have been a boring beat for PC Plod too, having to amuse himself by parking up his Velocette by the single telephone post in the district and going to watch the sheepdipping! However, the dipping will only wash off the outside, they'll need drenching inside too. Muahahahahahahaaaaaaa... 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, indeed, all aspects of the past need to be presented, so that anyone of any background is confronted with the uncomfortable truths about our country's history. I take pride in the dead white Protestant males who brought about the end of the slave trade, but equally face up to the dead white Protestant males who instituted it in the first place and whose fortunes gave the country the wealth and freedom to support dead white Protestant males with the leisure to have the conscience to question the trade... 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
