One percent

My mate was a lighthouse keeper and had a house up there. Sadly, this was a while ago and the lighthouses were automated and n one actually lives up there anymore.  

Yup.  An upstairs flat.  Remember those holidays better than most of the ones we had later, even though I was older then.   Would love to visit again, but put off by the crowds.  Maybe some january or february in better times
 

I really feel empathy with you on  this.  My family took us to Whitby self catering in, I guess, '79, '80 and '81.  Same cottage each time, about 4 doors up from the kipper shack.  It was basically just like our home town, perhaps if the ecclesiastical part hadn't been so comprehensively dismantled by zealots.  We're also awash with visitors this summer and, unbelievably, showing no sign of abating, even in mid-September.

Do we know this is true though? If the patiots "Have it all" then they have knowledge/ proof re Seth Rich.
Perhaps it's a ruse to persuade the Brits to allow him to be extradited, believing he wont blow too many gaffes, for example. Or to persuade the Dems to make some kind of tactical error. I'm suspicious of everything...

Likewise, so I would like the day trippers to fuck off. The lockdown was like going back 30 years.  We all liked it 

Ta, i agree. However two things (maybe three?)
it isn’t personal, i just want out and to start a new chapter 
he has refused, throughout the marriage to discuss things. Such as where we live, how we raise the kids, financial stuff. The final straw was when he decided to take early retirement. I asked, well can we afford that?  His response was, well you will have to keep working.    thank you very much.  
 
my solicitor came through a personal recommendation. He is very straight and to the point. Completely on the ball and is working to get this settled and so minimise my costs. He can only do what he can do though.  We have already asked for a settlement figure and i have in mind way below 50 percent of our joint assets. I just want out. However, idiot ex was not amenable so on we go... n

I always thought civilisations fell when they over reached their resources or the four horsemen got them 
Will ours be the first to fall due to being fecking stupid ?? 

But someone this far out on drugs isn’t going to be the model employee. If they even managed to get a job, their behaviour at work, whatever the reason, is a matter fr internal policies.  
 
i blame government for turning a blind eye to this, modern slavery, the sex trade, drug importation and illegal immigration. It seems to be that the view is that whatever it takes to keep GDP at the correct level. 

I agree however those that defend drugs the most often don’t live with it close hands other than there own consumption.what would they personally do if someone off their tits on monkey dust or spice tries to get in there house via the back door after climbing a 10 ft tall gated access then climbing over my locked gate to get in my yard .or when I put the bin out to return to my yard to find a member of the walking dead between me and my back door and wanting a fight because he is spiced up
 

Oh do fuck off.    I’m trying to reduce my tax bill as the government only wastes it on bennie seekers and gimmigrants.  

They should just make the really wealthy and large corporations pay some tax. They will evade a wealth tax like they do any other.

I’ve just claimed ESA whatever the fuck that is. Anyhow, it’s based on my significant contributions across a lifetime. And the weekly amount is *drum roll* 74 quid a week.  
 
thank you very much government and good night.  

Would be magic if it was though.

No. If you get arrested, then they may be entitled to take a view.  Ffs, it’s going all 1984. Draw a fucking line on it.    this is about personal freedom.  

Bizarrely my parents can totter off to the supermarket to touch and handle stuff that has been through multiple hands but I technically cannot do the task for them and go in their house.
Complete pile of bollocks.

I have now got to meet my parents in the pub!

The last bit. This. 100%.

Two things fascinate me about the time we are now living in.
1. For decades I have heard seemingly intelligent, well paper-qualified, people whinge about no politicians giving a straight answer to simple questions. Never speaking their mind or telling things as they are. Always instead engaging in double-speak and dodging answering.
Now that there is finally a politician - Trump - who fulfils their desire for plain talking those same people have thrown their dummies out of the pram. You can't believe him. He is so uncouth. Vulgar.
2. Usually the above same people are the ones who have been saying do not trust politicians, do not trust the media for decades. Think for yourselves. They don't tell us the truth, blah, blah, blah.
Now those people are believing everything told to them. There is almost an active refusal to think.
 
 

Oh ffs. Is your employer acting on behalf of the state?  They have no business here. They pay you to do X. You do X. End of.  
 
I remember a few years ago, the idea was floated that teachers really shouldn’t be seen drinking in the pub. Wtf. Really?  I would want city boy money for signing up for that

What's this periodic table shit? 

Yes, it would but until there is evidence of unprecedented numbers of previously reasonably healthy people being hospitalised, suffering long term effects or even dying countrywide I think Mr ******** is doing the right thing by just getting on with day to day life and his job.

When asked by his granny how school was going my 10 year old great nephew said great. Granny asked if they’d been having lots of talks about the virus great nephew said “Nah, Mr ******* thinks it’s all a load of crap”.
Well done Mr *******. Headmaster of a small village school and larger one in a nearby town.

You can't catch the virus at work either. Or on public transport. It's a miracle.
