    Death List 2021

    My stepfather was cremated on Tuesday in Cornwall and could only have 16 at the service. We had to watch via video link. Not sure if those limits will change after Monday though...

    Death List 2021

    That’s the word round here. Lots of food preparation factories in Northamptonshire, and last year Northampton had a few issues with large scale clusters of infections in these type of places. I’m guessing chilled environments, not brilliantly ventilated would be good breeding grounds.

    Things that annoy you

    Before I was a teacher I used to work for said manufacturer. The quality of fabrics used now for their jeans compared to 20 years ago is shocking and their prices are even more ludicrous now.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To be honest if that’s where we are at in politics we may as well just move straight to a China style one-party state. It’s about making peoples lives better, not the X Factor.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Give an example of a policy platform where the Tories offer is more appealing to working class voters than the Labour offer. Just one that isn’t immigration related.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Do policies like an extensive house building programme and a national living wage for example not appeal to working class people? Or do we just need to do everything wrapped in an Union Flag these days? Defending ethnic minorities and these kind of policies don’t have to be a either/or you...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There’s an entire raft of policies here that a party like Labour could adopt... who knew.

    School Protests

    There was definitely a bloke called Jesus kicking around that part of the world 2000 years ago, it was too common a name not to be, and too many independent accounts from unconnected sources. All that other stuff however...

    Robins just been on the Argos advert.

    Given everything he’s done for us, he has earnt the right to see it through to the end, and even if the worst happened, he deserves the chance to put it right.

    England World Cup Qualifying Thread

    I think half of Stones’ issue is that he’s always got to have in his mind that he has to cover Maguire as he is SOOOOO slow. He ends up caught between what he wants to do and what he has to do to protect his partner.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Local politics is very different I think.

That said, we are voting for brand...
