I'm reading that the new variants of concern originate from Thailand. 
I can't see this having a happy ending. ?

The volume of puns is reaching new highs, its about time we started to weed out the offenders. 

I have a strong dislike for Cummings and I'm sure he is vindictive, but people in government rarely take out against government whilst they're in government, no matter what they thought/think at the time.
We can remember people like Michael Heseltine and John Nott (if you're old enough) because grand gestures and resignations like that are so rare.
Even opponents of Trump like Mattis, Tillerson and Cohen waited until they were on the outside before speaking up.

Once you do speak out you lose your influence, so 99% of people in politics prefer to stay quiet and try to make changes from the inside.
Even Obama spoke of the need to sometimes just keep your mouth shut.
That sounds like it should be true, but from the news reports I have read, it isn't.
I've only followed the BBC and The Guardian and they have just been reporting what Cummings has been saying.
In fact, that is pretty much what the BBC always do to the chagrin of right and left.

I never heard them say Cummings was lying then, and I have never heard them say he is being truthful now - they're just reporting.
They reported what he said then and they are reporting what he says now.
Lots of people took what was reported at the time and thought Cummings was clearly lying - me included - but I don't remember the media spending months telling us Cummings was lying then any more than they are telling us what he is saying is gospel now.
It just feels that way because of what other people say about the media.

All well and good, but since we showed them Europeans how to get vaccine supplies, I have been struggling to get wood.

Total nonchalance from this passer by. Just a run of the mill event in Dorset.

I think we will win on aggregate

Speak for yourself. I’d be banjaxed without my pacemaker.

I think you missed out an important “n”  in there

His customer service approach probably didn’t help.

Post of the week...
Joint winners.  

Not sure we can afford a ball boy’s ball bag.
 

Finger on the pulse I see. 

I have been reading your reviews on Checky My Lecky.  

Grass.

Chesterfield Town centre...much nicer.

Grass.

I believe he made a right hash of it, the dope. 

This thread is depressing me. I’ve never heard of most of these and most of the ones I do know are dead!

I wouldn’t dream of saying to my wife let me have a go at that ironing, washing-up or hoovering, so personally I think it a bloody nerve that women seem to be muscling in on the playing of, and commentating on, football.
 

He couldn’t hear me,I had left.

Don’t be too disappointed with @eezzeetigerreaction. He probably did try to press ❤️ rather than ? but it must be bloody difficult with a six fingered hand and his two sisters sitting on each knee.

I remember an armed robbery at work when there were robbers at the front with shotguns,I was as trying to direct people out of the back fire doors and a bloke said to me he wasn’t leaving without his cooked chicken...legend!
