Another shrimp, Olive (and artichoke), salami fest.... Vino

Got the job. So happy, it's brilliant. Just got to do a load of form's as they are dealing with insurance claims, they're hoping get me started in a week. f**k it, gonna treat myself to a nice fat bar of chocolate 🍫 as a reward.🤣

Yea, numbers of those in hospital WITH covid have went up as well, but Javid's just said 60% of them are incidental, nothing to do with Covid, they just tested positive as well, but that's not why they are in hospital. Won't stop the usuals screaming to bring back restrictions though, but thankfully due to stuff like modelling that was so wrong it was laughable, while always being wrong in much more worse case scenarios, never better scenarios , they don't get taken serious these days. I mean, when it was Delta i could understand the reasoning for the way they 'count' hospitilisations and deaths, as it was much more severe though not as contagious as Omicron. If you had Delta and in hospital or died with it, it was much more likely it was at very least a contributing factor. But now it's Omicron which is much less severe and much more contagious, when there is 60% of people in hospital with it but not because of it, you have to acknowledge that, as i'm glad they now do. Lots of places are continuing to ease restrictions, not just the UK, despite high infection numbers, as the high infection numbers are not correlating to high or anywhere near high deaths. Though of course some just seem to want to be told what to do ongoing, they want Governments to mandate and dictate, they like big state etc, not just for Covid but in general, or the Gov have scared them too much about Covid. Thankfully at least in the UK they don't have sway. Take whatever precautions you feel personally comfortable with, as you do with every other aspect of life, as we're getting on with living our lives again. Covid isn't going anywhere and we're in a vastly different place than where we were this time 2 years ago, in all sorts of ways, knowledge, many, many treatments, vaccines etc. When you even have Whitty going on about the damage of lockdowns, you know they'll never happen again, nor should they. "Sir Chris Whitty: School closures likely to have caused ‘substantial’ long-term damage to children Chief Medical Officer describes an overall worsening of public health in the last two years, with particular risks around cancer screenings" https://archive.ph/ppG35

Did all of those countries deliberately manufacture to their data as some kind of Global reset, Yes they did.... As far as the Holocaust goes I don't think anyone has ever said no one died or terrible things did not happen back then....I think the 6 million has been the bone of contention..... (This is not a subject that I have looked into much, prefuring things like fake climate change or the fake moon landings) But some points the denyers bring up do put the 6 million into question..

Nice big Caesar salad, always diet conscious I am….

Yeah I had the cabinets and flooring done years ago, left the "Jenn Air" and tile the way it was. Wifey said I should have upgraded the others too......she said it looks like a guys kitchen LOL!

Got a letter from the bank today, turns out this is a PPI repayment from years ago. At least I know it's actually legit and not a mistake payment in the account. 🤣

Thai fish cakes

I, too, followed Khun @Painter's recommendation, and booked with LK Emerald. They have been super efficient. As a result, I got my Thai Pass within 2 hours of submitting the application. E-mail: [email protected]

compound bow...been around for a long time. https://www.huntforreal.com/news/has-compound-bow-technology-peaked https://bowtecharchery.com/bows/reckoning-38/ . . .

Well Done Wales, great performance from them tonight to beat Austria. Couple of cracking goals from Gareth Bale and what a brilliant crowd singing their hearts out from the first to last minute. They will now play the winner of Scotland vs Ukraine in June for a place in the World Cup finals. Tidy!!!!

Boothy from 44 teeth got to take one of these out. So jealous, my dream bike. Fell in love with it back in the 80's. Still the best looking bike I have seen personally. Would give a kidney to own one.

I'm here for four nights things are opening up a lot more than they were my last trip which also was during covid.

No Dave I watched it on Sky.Incredable singing from start to finish.

Thai Air never charged me a Baht for changing flights. You are probably on some blacklist for shameful behaviour regarding drinks trolleys and singing Spurs are on their Way to Wembley too loudly.

So served the same portion of chips at home in a pub, happy or not? I guess the former. If you enjoyed that's all that counts, Sure you told the waitress it was at least 12 inches😉

Sun starting to set after another sunny day.

Home made Cookies anyone? Not much sugar wifey tells me. Quite tasty.

Well John, you posted the picture twice, so i will re-post my original comment, which i think is still applicable.... " Jonno, you no doubt enjoyed it, but the fish n chips looks a tad pathetic mate, two forkfuls of chips and the fish is hardly a decent size, unless the lemon was the size of a jaffa orange....... It would also benefit by having a bit of colour on the plate, The Robin Hood is a good place, i'm surprised by this... " ( I wonder what the waitress thought if she noticed you placing the tape measure by your plate ?? )

Bloody excellent result! This is where I claim Welsh ancestry because my Dad was born in Porthcawl !!

Did you go, I watched it on the Welsh channel to get the brilliant atmosphere. Great result.

Spring brings lots of fighting as the birds get randy. Feathered variety that is!

Meatball stir fry.

GSXR750, I had a good mate who managed a bike shop on Elizabeth Street in Melbourne, OZ in the 70s and 80's. I got to ride, and own, a lot of bikes and one time took a GSXR for a ride. Scared myself s... tless, and didn't buy it!!

aah this explains Lord Lee of the banana trees forking out for a treat meal for you. beware, he will want it back in installments. have a fab day mate, you... and of course the f**in rats

what about this lassie?

I've posted this before. But, I just can't help myself.... This one - even better !

Italy don't even qualify....

The fish have woken up in my pond.

Just been to a funeral, she was only 59 , known her and her husband for 35+ years , very sad .. especially when their daughters ( 20 and 23 ) read a poem 😢

That's good news for sure and Qatar certainly do fly to Thailand.

Happy Birthday Larry, have a good one.

Watched the cops for a few minutes today trying to diffuse a bad situation...

Thanks very much guys !

Happy b'day Larry. Great way to celebrate your b'day with a busabout around Thailand.

This doesn't compare to the awesome treats recently posted here. But, I nice little snack after a long morning putting my new passport application app. together. Phew, I am beat, but it is certainly good to have that all in order and on it's way... Cold (leftover) fried chicken, pineapple, diet Sun Drop.

Dont buddy. He and his mates will run to the Police and scream assault - and you will be the one in trouble. I love Thailand for many reasons - one of them is the behaviour of the people in public, and the fear of the Police. Being scared of the Police was normal when I was a lad. I remember one time we were lined up and given a lecture by a Policeman when we were caught fighting outside a Club - one bloke spoke back rudely and the Policeman knocked him out cold. Sure, it was wrong - but it was also right. If people have no respect for the Police and the Law/Order that they enforce, then society will break down and fall apart. There are some people who need to be 'beaten down' to submit. The liberal social warriors have forgotten why we have Police, and why we and they need them.

Yes.... Day one was different as the world went into an immediate panic and opted for one answer....lockdown..... which has proven by the results so far not to have worked. IMO the way to go was to live with the virus...as we indeed do with other viruses ...... and get on with life. Yes people died from the virus.... many under that wonderful thing put in place to stop it...lockdowns. On saying that.... it is now being seen that some of the deaths that occurred was not of the virus but added under the virus number. One should be asking...... why was that???? Was the reason behind it was to use the numbers as an excuse/reason to put restrictions/lockdowns/business closures/etc... in place when they were not really needed....or in fact an overkill decision...or even a very poor decision made by authorities who imposed it on the general population?? As I said above.... if people want to wear a mask...do so. If people do not want to wear a mask...don't. Each to their own. My doom and gloom statement refers to the ones who continually thrive on the negative news about the virus..... in fact I believe there are some people who hope things keep the same as it has been for the last three years since this has started......it seems they get off on it for being so. I agree...the UK has been leading the way in opening up and hopefully the rest of the world will follow their lead..... but I also see there are critics of what the UK are doing...I wonder why on that. It is time to lift all restrictions now.....open up.....and let people get back to living our lives. cheers
