  1. Having never tried it, I can't speak from experience, but its a very little head and I would guess an even smaller brain.
  2. Watch the tributes on here for a while it is very scarey It makes it more real when you see faces and names Coronavirus: Do you have a tribute to a loved one? - BBC News
  3. I think I hold the record on here, I know eleven including my OH's cousin who have died. Several former work colleagues according to the retirees website, a couple of my former customers, plus my old next door neighbour who only ever went down to the paper shop and back. My mate died in a care home early on, he was recovering from a stroke but otherwise in reasonably good health. It sounded like C-19 but I don't know if he was ever tested. my ex wife's cousin has just come out of hospital, for a while i thought she was going to be number twelve. Interestingly, she was probably the oldest on her ward when she was in there and she is 43. She is far from recovered, although covid free now, she has still got a lot of problems.
  4. trying to stop idiots behaving like idiots does seem to be very difficult
  5. and thousands of people returning from ski trips in Northern Italy and Austria. They think now that was how it first entered the country in any significant numbers
  6. Brilliant news, its been a huge grievance in Cornwall The fish stocks are not bad I am told but the real problem has been Spanish and French trawlers were not being controlled properly by their own Countries. Allowing them to exceed their quotas and land undersize fish by turning a blind eye to wrongdoing on a massive scale.
  7. Early in the first lockdown they were stopping people on the A30 going into Cornwall but it was a token thing because they couldn't really do much to stop them . They did however get a lot of information about people operating holiday lets and AirBnBs who shouldn't have been. About 200 establishments were fined.
  8. Thats why I have a Cornish flag sticker on the back of all our cars
  9. The pubs round her in tier 2 will be offering beans on toast for £1.50 so I am reliably told
  10. where ever you go "allegedly" you take your tier status with you. So a tier 3 person from Bristol drives down to Cornwall (Tier 1) they are still subject to Tier 3 restrictions like not mixing in households or going to pubs and restaurants. So says the Cornwall Website Not that anybody is going to take a blind bit of notice of course
  11. Moment 180 mph motorcyclist in T-shirt is caught - BBC News
  12. Go Outdoors and Milletts are doing huge discounts at the moment
  13. A lot of retailers are desperate this year
  14. Another example of the true price of fame, like so many footballers, rock and pop stars, film stars etc before him. They burn so bright but then they cant cope with the life it brings with it.
  15. My TV does not have to connect to an antenna, it all comes through the cable or internet these days but once you have a subscirption and a password to log in with you can watch it on your phone or ipad. So these arguments are getting a lot more complicated
  16. That is not uncommon apparently, an American policeman friend of mine years ago told me many people who try to commit suicide do so by putting the gun to the temple and pulling the trigger. The shot then passes below the brain rather than into it. The injury is catastrophic but far from immediate death. look in the mirror and you can see how it could be like that.
  17. I agree, but I already get wind of people planning "rule bending" Christmas gatherings because they think they can
  18. Effectively you have always been liable (by default) because if the tenant does a flit leaving unpaid utilities the gas water and electric want the outstanding debt paid before they will reconnect to allow you to re-let the property
  19. A lot of those low offers are just vultures. Many distressed sales (as they are called) are taking place because people are in difficulties. If you are really desperate you might just take a silly offer because you have no choice. The problem is if the neighbours sell cheap it devalues your house as well because everybody checks the history of sales in that road now.
  20. Some twenty years ago we were taken by a friend to a clay shoot in Cyprus. I could write a whole page about what we saw and we were only there an hour. People walking about with guns unbroken. Swinging them around, loaded guns coming out of or going back into cars. "A Greek man never has an unloaded gun" said our friend with a laugh. "Its their way" He thought it was funny . I could tell you similar stories about my time in the US where things were equally casual, but even at Bisley forty years ago the old timers would walk around carrying a rifle with the bolt closed.
  21. I don't agree, they are doing a pretty good job to me, not perfect but nothing ever is
