Mousetrap: oh I had that happen too. I was called a selfish fool for refusing the shot and mocked by the daughter of a friend just before she “unfriendly” me on Facebook.

Mousetrap: truth is on our sides and I have receipts.

Papa Zoom: I entily agree. But the last time l said it l was told by a supposed friend they would not be wanting to see me. So now l say nothing but you can

Am I permitted to say that the hype about vaccinations is just a load of crap? The hype about…..now the efficacy of the vaccines isn’t a load of crap. It is a bunch of baloney.

heavenlyemma:

Papa Zoom: I'm happy my response made you smile.

heavenlyemma: that response made me smile. Needed a Laugh today

Papa Zoom:

Mort: I’m British. Always have been. ……ow wait, I meant Skittish.

Tuesday: Yes, but ya can be Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish and be British. Without being English.

Tuesday: I'm more British than English.

Tuesday: Not many at all just 4 I think

Tuesday: I always thought he was Southern oops I got that wrong lol

Tuesday: My mum spoke to bwild once years ago, she thought he was real nice she's 87, a southern accent he has, am I right?

Tuesday: Just glad 'the troubles' are over. Crazy period. Dunno if have Irish blood, My aunt who lives in Ireland doesn't!

Sinn Féin is the best.

Tuesday: BBC isn't any longer well rounded. The 'in' government uses the license fee as a carrot and a stick

But if you read between the lines, you get a good picture

Papa Zoom: 20 years is enough for the old crowd to be replaced. Heard story that some did want to wait for Saddam Hussain to die. His kids were more moderate. But the west had to have a win, and Afghanistan isn't easy to conquer.

Mort: lol. Good advice!

Tuesday: Ecclesiasties, Nothing new under the sun. Just hope the western press isn't true. As one general said. "They are talking the talk, lets hope they walk the walk."These same guys were Freedom fighters in the 80's re the Russian invasion!

One British outgoing PM upon greeting the incoming British PM "Don't invade Afghanistan, and you'll do fine"

Tuesday: It's an exterior weather proofing large tile shaped interlocking system. Can be used to beautify old tower blocks as well. Several types are available.. some with cores of flammable materials, some with non flammable material. Most countries don't allow the use of flammable core cladding. Yet as it's cheaper, it was ok'd to be used in the UK for a better profit margin.

A decision that has been reversed.

Tuesday: Such is the world of politics today. Funny things like politicians voting for a relaxation of fire regs, many of them being private landlords big time. Then, a tower block burns, because the cheaper cladding had a flammable core. Possibly 100K+ buildings with the bad cladding. Home owners stuck with a place they can't sell, without paying for the claddings replacement. Government is 'helping' financially, though far short of the real costs involved.

Funny things..

Worrying when told the only reason a campaign manager supported the PM in being elected, knowing he was "useless". Is because he didn't want the other party to win the election.

Yesterday was "freedom day" in the UK, so called lol
Everything is open, cases are rising. Businesses in the retail are, are having to take on "pool staff". As now, every time one of their staff is 'pinged' they have to self isolate.

People are now supposed to act sensibly re masks and mixing. Shops still saying "mask up", especially the independents. As when they get ill, there is no "pool staff"

Papa Zoom: More so that as the on/off volume switch was in one of the speakers, as a beginner in fixing this kinda stuff.. rewiring them to be independent.. nahh. Though at the same time. I could just buy a new pair of tweeters for this old 2.1 system. Or a 2nd hand pair, but of good name and rep

Mort: ouch

Papa Zoom: Had to chuck out speaker set for my PC yesterday, capacitor blew spreading gunk all over the circuit board for power to the actual speakers. Annoyed me that the circuitry was so cack handed, it was pointless to try and repair it. Just two years old even more annoying. Outside the warranty so pffff!

I didn't review them before buying, thought they wouldn't mess up such a simple thing. I won't make the same mistake again!

Mort: so true.

UK law now states that manufacturers are legally required now to make spare parts available to people buying electrical appliances, what are usually called 'white goods' here in the UK. eg fridges, cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, etc.

But at the same time. it is restricted to 'safe repairs' such as door hinges, seals, etc. Such as heating elements in washing machines are still a get a professional to fix it Job.

Though having repaired my cooker re heating element in oven, and a door switch a few years back. We could already?

Papa Zoom: Funny that in the past wearing a face covering could get the police asking you questions, like who are you, how dare you look suspicious!

Mort: my daughter likes to wear them so she doesn’t have to smile at others while shopping.

Tuesday: A Brit (not all) thiniking Meghan and harry gone 'Hollywood'.

Tuesday: We do and we don't have to wear them, have so always since this covid business started. Exempt people have never had to wear them, and legally you can't be asked to prove you are exempt. I wear a mask wear in shops and other like places. Or near certain areas where I see people who have shown they don't distance properly. Mothers and their tea shops with tables outside, seem to be above the regs.

Luckily no "Mr Rabbit" organising things, plotting to change our DNA.
.. I'm referring to a series called "Utopia".. UK Version best
But alot of dodgy contracts to conservative campaign contributors. Companies who've never traded, or usually make dog food. Nothing unusual though. Seeing Biden getting some badly needed infrastructure repairs/upgrades done. If like happened in the UK, expect some price fixing and other stuff amongst companies.

same ol, same ol
