10 points to ponder as 2020 draws to a close ...
1. The dumbest thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.
2. 2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.
3. The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their children are yelling at them to stay indoors!
4. This morning I saw a neighbour talking to her dog. It was obvious she thought her dog understood her. I came to my house & told my cat....... . we had a good laugh.
5. Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pyjamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.
6. Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands?
7. I never thought the comment, โI wouldnโt touch him/her with a 6-foot barge poleโ would become a national policy, but here we are!
8. I really need to practise social-distancing..... from the fridge.
9. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to the dustbin.
..... Might even blow dry my hair.
10. Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go into a bank with a mask on and ask for money

And I'm like 'fukc Mr is that really twenty hears'.

Err ... and you spend your waking life looking for opportunities to correct other's typing mistakes ? Time for a new hobby Rog

I'm surprised no boaty pedant has lept into the fray. Barge Pole! The sort of phrase a bus driver might use.

There was a Burneys Bakery in Rochdale, a factory where they made it all with several outlets around the region. Now subsumed in another national firm. Anyway, as a 13yr old I'd skip skule dinners with my mates and go and buy broken biscuits and squashed vanilla slices from the back door of the factory.

And here's to a better 2021;
When Corona is a beer again When Donald is only a duck When tiers sit on a cake When bubbles only exist in champagne

I'm surprised no boaty pedant has lept into the fray. Barge Pole! The sort of phrase a bus driver might use. "Yes, but it's not just this lady saying the hospitals are empty, but many others too. Why have those who work in hospitals been prohibited from speaking to the press. Why have death certificates been falsified? There are over a dozen things that just don't add up. Carry on believing this is to do with a 'virus', but I can assure you all right now, you're in for a very big shock next year!" Are hospitals hiding something? Arrested for attempting to expose the scam. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9101999/Anti-lockdown-activist-46-arrested-secret-hospital-footage.html#article-9101999Why do you persist in hijacking every thread with your covid conspiracy theories?

11. They said it could never happen but Britain left the EU with a trade deal.
12. The phenomenan of WOKE was incepted. It confused some at first but it all became clear in time. WOKE: A buzz word, gramatically poor (I'm awoken). It represents the movement by a group of people that are tired with democracy and instead seek to rewrite history, and shape the future, via intimidating the population into gaining popular support 'if you're not with us, you're against us'; 'silence is violence'.

Why do you persist in hijacking every thread with your covid conspiracy theories? Have you noticed post #1 ? It's a Covid thread. My theories are as valid as yours. I feel everybody is being stitched up. Stay 2 metres apart, do not discuss this with other people, obey the announcements! "Your papers! Where are YOUR PAPERS!!" Since when was this a covid thread? I didn't post post one as a covid comment. You clearly have a fixation, naughtyfox go and sit in a corner, learn some proper knots and their names. What do you call the item under discussion? A Big Stick? Bless.
