B&Q this time
They will deliver paint
But they won't deliver paint brushes !!!
B&Q again
We have a store with a few miles of us BUT as we're not in their "catchment zone" they can't deliver.
So a delivery van has to come all the way from another store (15 miles from us) to collect from the store a few miles away and deliver the item.
Madness or what?

VIRGIN MEDIA this time . . . sent me a text,
"While things feel uncertain, we aren't raising your broadband prices this year as we normally would.
See how we're helping you stay connected."
Well thank you so much - you're helping me so much - i'm not worthy!!
I think his space project is going rocket propelled sometime soon. That'll be interesting on past history. Nice to know where the money goes. Fancy a bailout?
Tubular Bells for all it's greatness might be the worst thing that ever happened.
Tomasz Schafernaker - what is wrong with him?
Miserable as sin Schafernaker has just announced we should not be enjoying the current weather.
"It's not something to celebrate"
He thinks it's too hot and something we'll struggle to cope with so we shouldn't be happy.
What a misery guts

Whispering in American movies - do they think it makes things more atmospheric?
"A crack team of experts - ready for reactive repairs"
Have you ever heard such nonsense?
"If they spot a problem you've missed - they'll fix that too"
So isn't that being 'proactive'?

Around Sept/Oct Virginmedia usually have a modest rise in prices, but that normally follows an increase in speed (in my case). I wonder if they have made no changes to speed, I'll have to check.
I'd like to slap that grin off Richard Branson's chops

Watched the North East news over the weekend to the sounds of a news reader with a broad Geordie accent !!!!
What next?
"Alreet and welcum tu thu news, pet"
They should scrap London and just move the North East down. Class people. We need a laugh.

Quote: "Priti Patel: We must "learn lessons" from the Reading attack".
My question is, what lessons have been learnt, have they been published?
Have this learning exercise led to any improvements?
...or is this just another government minister throwing out a well worn phrase which sounds like they will take action but in actuality, nothing is done. My bet is on the latter.

I’d vote option 2 EC
BBC are very good at this too - I'm shocked at their sensationalist journalism
They regular fail to quantify their point.
Such as,
"Some people are being asked to travel over 100 miles to take a COVID test"
Why are they not saying how many, since when?
Just listen and it's happening all the time - no facts or figures presented just sound bite headlines

"lessons will be learnt" is the blandest political statement there is. It is shorthand for "we messed up, we won't mess up again, but we'll make nothing but the most minimal effort in this effort because we don't really care but need to be seen as caring at this point when it's news"
