Getting totally pissed off with the UK now !

It's all staff .The staff wear masks all the time in the pubs. Customers wear masks until they are seated .Once seated they can remove them .Customers must wear masks whilst moving about the pub eg going to the loo

 

Thanks, it just made me laugh........ With the current government, nothing would surprise me.

How about a requirement that all drinks must be a minimum of 35% proof (70% alcohol) the level that kills poor old corona.
Watching the customers staggering around trying to keep their masks on would be endless fun.

 

We are regarded now in the media as the" Rebellious North" .If you know about English history then you may have come across the Peasants Revolt around the time of 1381 which was against a punitive tax pushed onto the common people of the time. So Andy Burnham our Mayor and saviour is the new Wat Tyler . I think we will get crushed eventually by Boris and his army of anti ant pub zealots .Lol Honestly you have to laugh otherwise you would just cry .

I think we will be enjoying our last pub outing tonight .If we survive until next weekend then that will be a bonus.

It's a Mad World we live in.

 

Just to give you a little extra flavour Comrade Zen !!!

Getting totally pissed off with my country now too, Australia, parts of Victoria are still in lockdown, the whole state only recorded 6 cases and 0 deaths yesterday

Madness

 

At least the end is in site for you guys .It's getting out of control here again as you know and we have a team of mup pets in charge .

#CRAP

 

Yeah but we've had a team of muppets (scumbag 'nasty party) for the past ten years !!!

 

Latest on Manchester is that according to 10 Downing Street they are claiming talks have been scheduled to start again on Sunday after a phone call.

The Mayors Office are saying no such call has been made .Source BBC

The Scumbags are lieING again to try and put fresh spin on an embarrassing situation for them .

I hope we can hold firm here in the hope other areas will rebuff these needless tier systems that even the experts are saying do no work .

 

I am pleased that you like my light hearted views on life. Even in the theater, the comedy in the auditorium was often better than that on the stage. Perhaps I should write a book.
One of the funniest moments I can remember was during the run of the film "Taxi Driver".
An overweight African gentleman arrived at the box office and seemed surprised that he needed to buy a ticket. He seemed even more confused when he was told that his ticket was for the evening performance.
Rather than head off, he said that he would wait (two and a half hours), but after about 40 minutes, he got agitated. Staff being staff and not knowing what to do, needless to say, called me.
When I spoke to him, you can imagine my reaction, when I discovered that he was worried about the delay in his taxi, since he had to catch a flight from Heathrow.
Strangely enough, we both burst out laughing at the same time and he seemed quite shocked when I refunded his ticket for the film.
Fortunately we had a radio link to the black cab control (that we used to move staff or stock in an emergency) so i was able to get him off in a London taxi within a few minutes. Another satisfied customer.
He shook my hand so much, that I was worried about my arm coming off.
The mere thought of a guy mistaking a major London theater for a minicab office, still makes me laugh 40 years later.

I will tell you more about my life on the west coast of Ireland later.
In the meantime, without looking it up, let me know how many pubs you think that Guinness own in Ireland.?

 

The end is not in site. Nothing about the lockdowns was ever going to eliminate the virus. It will just take one cruise ship, one cargo ship, a handful of people on a flight, and it will spread again. No vaccine is going to stop all elderly people dying

There never was an answer for this one

Covid will still be around in 50 years

 

You not wrong But what I meant was temporary end site. You probably, know already my views about lockdowns anyway. They just don't work at you just get into a cycle of Virus lockdown virus lockdown ...........

Sounds like go me Government's around the world are just playing for time with all hope resting on an untried vaccine .

 

Latest on Manchester is that a group of Tory MP's from low Covid rate areas are urging Manchester to engage in talks and comply. However a small group of Tory Mp's whose constituencies are in the Manchester area are basically saying keep your beak out. Your communication was unhelpful .

The MP for my area who is again a Tory MP has said the communication is more than likely a No 10 approved one .

Sounds like to me more spin to try and apply more pressure on us in Manchester .

We stand alone guys just like the Battle of BRITAIN repelling the Natzis

 

if the government try and shaft Manchester they need sorting, our useless mayor of Greater Liverpool, Steve Rotherham, ably assisted, by the Churchill Dog, aka Anderson, sold us down the river. What we should do is instead of our council tax money going to London and then being shared out buy them, perhaps every region should refuse to hand it over, lets see how they fare down there without our cash. I'm sick to death of it all now, they think they can do whatever they want and get away with it.
What we really need is our coloured cousins in Moss Side to kick it off, it will then kick off in Birmingham in solidarity and then in London, if London wants to give it the big balls then perhaps the rest of the uk should let them get on with it, set up another government centre say in Birmingham or somewhere and isolate the rest from london, take a line at say the Watford gap and anything south of it stays with London the rest is classed as with us. After all for years they've regarded anything north of the Watford Gap as 'up north' , or 'foreign', so lets stuff the lot of them. In the 80's there'd have been rioting on the strrets by now, sadly todays youth is only capable of fighting on computer games.

 

More like a PETERLOO incident !!!

 

Yeah, thats one thing thats surprised me, how dosile this generation is.

Give them video games, netflix and furlough payments and they are like zombies

I dont understand why they in particular arent angrier, under 25 's

 

Because they have had everything given to them, most of them have never had to work hard to get anywhere, or make a choice between buying a CD or a bit of food, they talk a good fight on some stupid video game, but in reality most of them couldn't fight there way out of a paper bag! When I was in my late teens I used to fight for fun, and I went to college and learned a trade, fuck me I was carrying an axe or a machete before it became trendy, and I could use it, lol

 

I think your spot on there Vlad. It does feel like Peter loo. I may end up watching the DVD movie later If your ever up this neck of the woods there is a museum exhibition totally dedicated to Peter loo and the beginnings of the Trade union movement .It's free and we'll worth a visit.One of the existing pubs near the scene is still in existence .If that scumbag Boris and his cronis gets their way it will sadly have to close like many others .

I think it's just a question of how long we can now hold out as Boris' stategy is to try and get rest of the country to do his dirty work and get us to comply .I think our only hope of continual resistance is if another area rebels as well .Boris may end up forcing his will on Manchester but he knows he would need the cooperation of the mayor and the borough leaders for this to happen as it would be difficult to control from No 10 alone. Public unrest could also be a consequence as well .

 

Hmmm - Tollpuddle Martyrs, Peterloo, Jarrow Crusade & Invergordon riots - all rolled into one = REVOLUTION !!!
