Bear is of the same view; however the downside is that those selfish tw*ts will then have a licence to continue spreading the lurgy to those of us who play by the rules. 1 hour ago, The Stationmaster said: I too heatrily agree with what iD said about those who wish to expose themselves to and spread Covid You might want to re-phrase that post.... In other news: Bear spent all morning planning, measuring and cutting four sheets of EML Mesh for those areas of wall to be covered. I've a feeling my paw is gonna hurt like bvggery tomorrow, despite using my bestest very sharp tinsnips. New neighbour next door knocked and gave me a card, along with a box of Co-op Finest All-Butter Pastry Mince Pies with Cognac, Brandy & Port . Bear doesn't drink, but since it's mixed in with Mince Pies I'll make an exception.... They'll make a nice accompaniment to the box of bikkies given to me by another neighbour a few days ago, for giving then various Pyrex dishes that I had no need for. They were doing me the favour, as it was an easy and very pleasing way of re-homing some items that I wanted to go to a good home. Win-win. 22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted December 20, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2020 A'noon. Spent a couple or three hours splitting wood, while we are still allowed to use the burner...#sigh# I wonder what the difference was in lockdown one, when the Fraggle-ites did what they were told, and we waved goodbye to Covid - TBH the Frags aren't usually the most quiet or acquiescent of folks and love a good political argument (politics here are not party based, but individual) and a moan, but they all behaved and we now reap the benefits. There must be some demographic difference, but it beats me where. I suspect that as quite a few residents are seen to be going away on the ferry this week, when they return (only residents may come on to the island) they may not do the required 14 days self isolation, and that will bring it back. The penalty of course is 4 weeks chokey, if they don't, there's plenty of room at the 'Jurby Hilton' aka our new, modern gaol. They are warned, face to face, individually on return. We'll see. Little else to report other than concern for our friends on here who are not best placed to cope with yet more isolation. Always available for a chat on PM..... 3 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post Barry O Posted December 20, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2020 there is only two ways out of the slough of despond.. good food and.. coffee (decaff of course!) I await my jab (sometime in March apparently if all goes well.. @New Haven Neil good idea about jail but ours are already full.. and some of the people involved don't give a stuff for anyone other than themselves..

Their ignorance on what visitors find attractive about Fraggle Rock is also mind numbing. They have wanted rid of it for years, although they own the building they refused to pay to repair the roof so the tenant reluctantly gave it up - they had run it well for years - as they would not not pay t repair it, nor should they. It 'just may be' one of their number wants to run the replacement.....just guessing...allegedly.... The jet skier was a drugs drop, no way he came from Scotland on it by himself - with not even gloves on...in winter....plod missed it, good and proper. 15 2 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 20, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2020 Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. I've had an e-mail newsletter turning up in my in-box from an organisation called Quora. I have certainly never requested it and I can only think that they got my e-mail address from some sort of list. Quora it seems is an American gun enthusiasts group. Its based in California and the newsletter has such items as 'Why are AK-47's so expensive?' ???? I couldn't find any means of unsubscribing so I have bunged it in the spam folder and blocked the sender. 3 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontaylor484 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The timbers in the shop may have been robbed from a plague abandoned building. As i have said before the European Renaissance came about after the end of one of the great plagues.if enough co*kwombles remove themselves from the gene pool we may be onto a winner. How some of these cretins are allowed to procreate beats me. As others have said the early Church Christianised pagan festivals so really drunken debauchery is the original spirit of Christmas. Any way best wishes and positive thoughts to all 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2020 I have just had an email from Royal Mail letting me know that the food processor spare parts ordered from Surrey a week ago are now in Milton Keynes.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) We are eating the “it started as Stollen but went wrong” cake. Aditi left out things I didn’t like and missed out a crucial line in the recipe about the yeast but what has turned out may not be Stollen but more like a big fruit scone is perfectly ok to eat. Didn’t even need our usual trick of disguising odd cake with custard . Edited December 20, 2020 by Tony_S 13 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
