You should all be snapping up Black Friday bargains not on here. Shop out to help out. It is your ancient (anything pre-Brexit) patriotic duty. The will of the (business) people.

Morning all from post Thanksgiving LA where turkey remains abound and the Detroit Lions still can't win on Thanksgiving Day. When I remembered to swipe @ 9.10 ish Libre showed 5.5. Not a disaster daahling but distinctly suboptimal. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art, hug for being Krank/Blah. Hope you enjoyed the aspirational coffee. @Lamont D the Blue Team of the past decade+ are the 4th or 5th Sunday extra Xi paying obeisance to a myth held by their party members' and their own misunderstood idea of an outdated and discredited paradigm. @alf_Josiah the numerate were and still are fighting like rats in a sack over what the numbers actually were and meant so even our innumerate PM had reason to ask for some answers. All yeah but, no but just with graphs from partial and (deliberately?) inaccurate data and spurious models - they had no real idea what was going to happen either as the inquiry is making crystal clear. Doesn't help that our PM was at best useless. @Krystyna23040 great news on fbg. @gennepher hug for your neighbours. Y’all have a good day now and sleep tight until Tuesday 5 November 2024

Most of the bunch of leaders today deserve to be put on the B Ark if the calamity comes. It was not surprising to hear how politicians in control in the Pandemic couldn't grasp the basic science of the scientists approach to COVID 19

Just saying :cool:

Perhaps it was the "ark" spaceship that carried all the people considered useless (hairdressers, telephone cleaners, etc) away from the world to find their own new home somewhere. Can't remember which Scifi story that was. I do remember that at the end, the clever and useful people in the old world died in a pandemic caused by unsanitised telephones!

Pretty sure fabricant would have survived (and a few others)

What's that they say about the only things surviving a nuclear war ? ...mmmhh

( Not sure why, but I hear in my head best, when its said by Al Pacino .. ;) )

Thank you for sharing that gorgeous creative and sleep well for now. Here's a song (great story and we have a son with that name so very special to us) for you if you aren't yet asleep.

When a great flood, fire or plague is engulfing neighbouring countries, it behooves any pharaoh to make speedy plans to defend his nation & it's people.

Not to uhm & ahh, turning aside those with the right experience until allegedly, a mate down the pub can get his hands on some dodgy "kit"...X that by every single VIP lane grifter that chose money over the nation.

The godfather of the thread & I, shared a few pm's over 2019/2020 chrimbo-new year, & came to same conclusion (him waaay more nuisanced then my 'back of a bit of paper' calculations,) that a heavy death toll was unavoidable without speedy action.

I'd say the death toll meets that description .

Hancock, Jan 23rd to the house said "all preparations are in hand , the UK is fully prepared '.

Clearly not

I hope when they are truly judged, it's more "what are you here for ? good, take a cross, crucification on the left "
& few if any "oh, really, freedom....oh ok turn right, cheerio". ..

Only way to be sure no other such group, behave in such a way, IS by making an example of this lot, by imposing the maximum punishment possible

....but I won't hold my breathe.

6.6mmols on this cannot afford to go shopping cos of chrimbo black Friday.
Curtains are up at last! Got help to finish off, now to plan for decorating, maybe leave it until Mrs L has given the orders or chrimbo or New year or whenever.
#8 was insistent on helping when he came round and help and hinder was entertaining.
Thanks @ianpspurs , it is as you say!
There are many epithets about working without training and not understanding how and why? The consequences can and probably will be disatrous. Chiefs and Indians come to mind immediately!
Children with knives or guns!
Or for us trekkies, overload setting on a phaser! Instead of stun!
If you don't know. Ask!!!!
If you definitely know you're right you're not!
Check the facts!

Bright but northerly arctic wind, which the tidy front garden is now under so much foliage, it does look as tho my plants are hibernating. Get yer thermals on!

Having a relax, chilling watching the arrows on the box.

It still shocks me to the core, that people believe what politicians say, and it flabbers my gast that, every time a Tory opens his gob, there are some that don't know that they are completely lying about everything!
And my goat has surely been got!

Fish today! Apt for a Friday, even tho not a papist!
And I hope God will help my team win tomorrow @lindisfel! Ha!

My best wishes to you all as always.

Our nephew and his family in bath celebrate thanksgiving as all three of their children where born in New York they had lived there several years, incidentally while perusing the old family tree I Icame across one of the culprits you can blame one William Bradford who had a party and decided to call it thanksgiving and there you are.

Agree but Pharaoh's sourcerers weren't as helpful as they've now come to be seen in the light of what we know and of how politicians behaved. A fair amount of historical revision and gloss - the UK zeitgeist - is being added here. Post hoc ergo propter hoc isn't twenty twenty vision it is a real squint. In many ways the big error may well have been to see/compare COVID to/with the "Spanish" flu because it wasn't. Either way, as you say, we knew/intuited many, many would die. As for stopping that without long term consequences on the poor, young, isolated, those with mental health issues and regional inequality it was not the expertise of the subset of science we used. That had nothing to do with numbers. We need an enquiry but it has become a useful distraction to the question of how we better care for those groups. A cynical person would say the Blue Team think job well done and only 1 casualty who we've made richer and idolised anyhow - blame it on Brexit haters.

Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy you got it in one @Annb.
But they put all the scientists and engineers and useful people on the A ark and finished up at the habitable planet, to terraform it.
Douglas Adams I think, he died too young.

Absolutely and absolutely brilliant mate. So true!

Yesterday's covid highlight.
I told them!
I repeatedly told them!
Why bother having having my opinion!
I knew it was going to be bad.
I told them!

Several years ago, part of my job (appointment really) was to attend government simulation exercises for all sorts of events and one was ‘pandemics’. Scientists, Govt Officials, Energency Services et al. At the end of the exercise the current procedures for said event were updated for ‘best practice’. I suppose that the very latest such document ended up being used as a door stop or strung on a piece of coat hanger wire in the outhouse situated at the bottom of the N0 10 garden near the bottle bank and beer crate store.
