I myself quite enjoyed lockdown, I didn't want to see people anyway. 😁

So you were sat in the sun drinking beers all day whilst I was working 6 or 7 days a week to keep this country afloat!

Yup suited me too, no in-laws is never a bad thing.

Glad I was not the only person who thoroughly enjoyed lockdown, best few months of my life for years and years.  I was lucky enough not to lose anyone I knew and I was able to continue working all the way through but from home, which I am still doing to this day as my employer realised productivity did not drop at all so sold all their offices

I have to go to the client offices every now and then, otherwise I am completely home based

For IT, it was a god send. For decades we have been saying we don't need to be in the office, but managers didn't listen. Convid forced them to acknowledge what we'd said. 

The coming business property market collapse will be a rollercoaster ride for PMs

The Con party and Labour are two cheeks of the same ar$e.

Whoever wins, nothing changes 'cause the same ar$e is in control.

A good analogy. The PM is the hole in the middle... Unless of course they're a p**** or c*nt instead. 😁

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on politicians. Next week I'll give you my thoughts on bankers...

Yea I am in IT on an NHS contract,

I was doing 60-70 hour weeks during lockdown as the contract I am on deals with the procurement (NHS Supply Chain) and I was heavily involved in PPE and the Nightingale set-up.  I was getting paid by the hour, lockdown was incredibly lucrative for me.  Not tory donor lucrative of course, but I doubled my take home for a few months.

Not quite as fun as that! Only for a month and then it was back to work social distanced.

A headline article in daily mail UK press for 'normies' about Gordon Brown's selling of Britain's gold reserves when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer has cost it had on UK plc. 

1000+ normie comments about gold to read through 

Which is otherwise known by gold investors as the 'Brown Bottom'.

More a case of was that way. Only some were paid £2500/month to stay at home, many others weren't. Apps for where checks were being performed and house parties with streamed music so just a location where lots of people were TALKING TO EACH OTHER VERY LOUDLY (unless they removed one of their ear buds).

Out-laws are much more fun.

The latest from closet Remainer Sunak (whose pretty much already gifted the EU Northern Ireland) is that the UK will sign up to WHO being able to decide how/when the UK should lock down or not. I believe Farage is going to start one of those petitions whereby if 100K signatures are lodged the matter has to be debated in Parliament.

Petitions are a pointless waste of time. Even if it reaches 100k+ signatures, it will be debated by three people in Parliament at an awkward time of day for about 15 minutes, then they will do as they please, as they always do.

Being turned into flats around my way. More a case of infrastructure collapse, water, sewage, GP's/health, congestion, schools ..etc.

I have a similar ailment to Jonathan Ross, except where he struggles with R's I struggle with B's

How are they redefining them? alive or just undead, because in that case I need more information, are we talking zombie or vampire ?

No longer considered as excess deaths, but planned deaths, indicative figures pre-calculated by the action of exporting Covid discharged patients from the NHS into care homes ... 100K+, rounded down to precisely 100K (subtracted from the excess deaths figure). As I recall people were even standing on their door steps cheering the NHS. A later questioning of how the care home workers were being ignored and were struggling with no PPE etc. (some even moved full time into the care home themselves) did however result in pin badges being offered as a reward for their suffering.

Looking good gold😎

I was having up for a 1oz maple, but at his rate I'll have to settle for a scruffy sov. To whomever's failing hard at the Big Stage: stop, you need to stop.

Anyone know why gold is up 2% in the last 24 hours?
