I know we shouldn’t panic but
Baz They (UKHSA and the ECDC) are now saying people with the monkey pox should not handle their pets …and should isolate them …to prevent a reservoir (ping pong effect) between humans and domestic animals ! [ more ]
Saint Monkey pox aside . . . urghh, are we becoming the vermin we so ruthlessly exterminate? I called our GP to get a 'call-back' appointment over the phone and was told I was too late as all the appointments had gone due to "so many of the doctors being off sick". Quite alarming when you think about it [ more ]
Baz Yes, it is Slim…..and so many of the things they’ve been saying …eg downplaying it initially , but gradually seeing it increase ….seem to be mirroring the early days of covid . [ more ]

Baz Good for Mr Roxan [ more ]
Former Member I have said things but it just bounces off them. They are just unbelievable! My husband has told them to go f*** themselves on more than one occasion! Intelligent people have open minds willing to change opinions when new information comes to light. These people are full on morons! [ more ]
Carnelian That's outrageous Roxan! I'd be livid if I had such liberty taking, sanctimonious idiots on my street. You must be so tempted to give them a piece of your mind. I think I would! [ more ]

We are genuiaily the only idiots in the room.
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing The UK is "well prepared" to deal with coronavirus cases and the risk to individuals "remains low", the government has said. Downing Street said 99% of those tested in the UK had come back negative. The total number of cases in the UK has risen to 13 after four cruise ship passengers flown back to Britain on Saturday tested positive for the virus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More 'planes and busses to be...

Baz Isn’t it just Roxan ! [ more ]
Carnelian I only vaguely remember the 70s series, I read the book quite a long time after that series ended. The 2000s version wasn't the best. [ more ]

David Schwimmer
Lori I love that the real David Schwimmer played along with his own take. [ more ]
El Loro Yes, that David Schwimmer He was in the news in this country back in October 2018: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-...-lancashire-45960806 And a follow up article in January 2019: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-...-lancashire-46946123 [ more ]

Caroline Flack has killed herself. That's pretty big.
Saint Seems she hung herself How desperate must she have been to think that was her best option? Poor soul - it's heartbreaking . . . and she's never coming back [ more ]
Saint She thought she needed to - she thought her reputation and career was over. People have done far worse and still prospered She didn't need to - poor soul [ more ]

Flooding
Saint Agreed but rivers can suddenly overflow when they haven't in years Some can change over time - that's what global warming is saying - a rarity is becoming the norm I think the main argument is that inner city flooding can be managed better by sluice gates and upper farmland being flooded instead of at risk homes just being left to constant damage [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Looking at some of these pictures you'd think you were seeing a road crossing a lake rather than looking at a road going through a town! [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing But rivers and flood plains were there long before houses! I remember being 'informed' of such things as dredging (controversial these days) and having plenty of trees helping with water management, in primary school but I read an article which talked about tree planting to help with water management and the tone was coming across as though this was a recent discovery!

NETFLIX
machel This is from the same author of Safe, another excellent series ( Harlan Coben) [ more ]
Carnelian I watched the whole series of The Stranger, I'd recommend that as a suspense drama of twists and well-detailed characters of the kind the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 often do very well! It has all the production quality and writing that you'd expect of a high profile British drama from the usual terrestrial channels but on Netflix. I can see why the BBC's days as a license fee-funded broadcaster are probably numbered. [ more ]
Amythist Breaking Bad and the spin off Better Call Saul Narcos The Irishman RuPaul I too love Scandi Noir and there is a bit of that,,,yes enjoyed Bordertown Parks and Recreation and it goes on...great documentaries too [ more ]

Politics.
Carnelian I put a similar view to a hardcore SNP worker one time but he said the SNP aren't a nationalist party but a communal party. That they don't hate the English but just want to go it alone and that the original union was supposed to be a partnership of equals but it hasn't worked out that way. Right or wrong, considering the population and GDP of England vastly outweighs Scotland, that is how many Scottish people see it. It's further exasperated by English people who regard Scotland as having... [ more ]
Carnelian How right-wingers think "Those loony wimmin' feminists call all men 'potential rapists', I'm offended by that slur" "Those Muslim male immigrants need to be kept out of the UK because they want to groom white girls" (I'm ok with that slur) [ more ]
Carnelian There is 'good racism' and 'bad racism' in this country. It's seen as for the popularist right to smear Muslims as would-be terrorists, wanting a caliphate and as would be groomers. That's the 'good racism', that's 'racism' that typical brits should all empathise with accoring to our prevailing cultural bias. That's the racism we shouldn't condemn. We should 'seek to understand the left-behind white working class' - "victims" of culturally 'alien' Muslims. But if you suggest that The Labour... [ more ]

Former Member I love you for this comment. My sisters ex husband came out after ten years of marriage and two children too. It knocked the stuffing out of her and made her feel like her whole life was a fraud. She didn’t trust her own judgement for a long time. Still affects her ten year later. She actually was on radio 1 newsbeat yesterday giving an interview from the Partners’s perspective. [ more ]
Yogi19 I truly hope Phillip finds peace now that he is able to “be himself”. My sympathy goes to his wife who has, unwittingly, been forced to live a lie until Phil felt able to come out. IMO, if someone is conflicted about their sexuality or afraid of coming out as gay, the last thing they should do is start a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. It seems like a selfish act to me and can only lead to heartache for the other person. [ more ]
Eugene's Lair I haven't been following the details particularly closely: has there been any indication as to how long he's considered himself to be gay, and how long his wife has known? By way of comparison, I've found myself thinking about the cyclist Graeme Obree a lot today. He's only a little younger than Schofield, and was also married with two children (although I don't think he'd been married as long as Phillip has). I saw an interview with him after he came out publicly (he'd told his family 6... [ more ]

What do we make of this debacle?
Carnelian Arguably it stopped him becoming Prime Minister as he was pilloried by the Tory rags at the time for his dress sense. [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Just so. And that's why I refer to it as a debacle! [ more ]
Saint It probably made him unelectable - true, and the donkey jacket look was not good But ... it did not stop him rising to the top and becoming Labour leader [ more ]
