A good kip last night and woke at 0715.
MrsD has sat herself in the 2nd lounge to watch all the crap tv coverage of the funeral. I have a couple of films to watch......plus the last chapter of a novel I am reading.

I have wondered about that myself.
I enjoyed his comments and don't recall anything he said that the mods could find offensive.
Didn't someone say he pops up on other sections?

I believe he did make some remarks in another thread he thought at the least would get removed. I don't know exactly what they were but whether one agreed or not numbnuts couldn't be described as offensive.

Hope he's back soon.

Obviously we don't want a political discussion in here but I would remark I don't believe the majority are aware of or understand the impact welfare cuts have on the disadvantaged. I don't think such cuts are what the electorate vote for and if they were aware would be quite horrified.................mind you I've made the exact same comment on many, many times. :laugh:

Sad , but totally true . 😕😕
Good luck with the flapjacks 😀

Very true.😀 Perhaps the regulars on here should organise a rescue mission to get him back to the keyboard.
We do need to make sure it’s a day when he is wearing clothes though 😂😀😀

Problem with that is, if we are to drag him back and he's wearing clothes then there is less to grab hold of :rolleyes:

Good morning. Philosophy done with. Sorry. Grey and drizzling here in Lancashire, lets hope it stays here as we are off for a few days holiday in God's Own Country...............or as the rest of us know it Yorkshire. Each year we go to the Richmond Walking and Books Festival which is held in Richmond, North Yorkshire. The town itself is wonderful, very compact, quiet, easily walked around and quite a lot of interest. We go with friends, rent the same Airbnb two minutes walk from the centre and have a generally good time. What more could one want? Walking and culture. Hmmmm???? Cycling and culture would be a step up but hey ho.

I have flapjack to make. I may pop in from time to time and expect to see the place in good order, you've kept everything tidy, put things away when you've finished with them and done the dishes...................................and don't let me find an empty bottles behind the sofa when I get back....... :hello:
And clean yer boots before you put them back in yer car this time. Same with yer shoes, knock the good Yorkshire soil off your soles.

I've spent most of the morning up a ladder with a paint brush in my hand. Our problem stopcock earlier in the year left us with some mold patches, now its had time to dry out I've treated it and I'm giving the kitchen a tidy up and repaint.

From my Facebook page this morning from the jokes page I follow, lol

After a tiring day, Zoe settled down in a seat on her train and closed her eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice.

“Hi sweetheart. It’s Gavin. I’m on the train.

“Yes, I know it’s the 6:30 and not the 4:30, but I had a long meeting.

“No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounts office. It was with the boss.

“No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life.

“Yes, I promise, cross my heart.”

Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly. When Zoe, exasperated, had had enough, she leaned over and said into the phone, “Gavin, hang up the phone and come back to bed.”

Red-faced and absolutely shocked, he shut off his phone and didn’t say a single word for the rest of the train ride.

Gavin doesn’t use his cell phone in public any longer. And Zoe finally got some well-deserved shut-eye.

Well played, Zoe!

I went another walk. Up through the town then up the hill. Sat on a bench up the top in peace and quiet and paid my respects to Her Majesty rather than watch tv.

The town felt a bit like the first lock down. Only one small cafe and the petrol station were open and it was eerily quiet.

I am in the middle re the monarchy, neither particularly for nor against but it’s maybe time to drastically reduce them and a lot of the pomp and ceremony that goes with them especially given the current climate. I bet just the overtime for the police alone for the 10 days would have bought some new hospital equipment or trained several doctors and nurses. Perhaps something more like other countries where they live a more modest existence would be more appropriate now?
