I’m so sorry PF - I watched the Queen’s Speech!!!

It was actually very lovely.

Thanks Frog

Don’t have much else to do tomorrow. I am going to sneak out of my isolation room in the morning and stuff the turkey and get it in the oven

@frog

Something to spend my Christmas money on. Oh…

And thanks for the wishes PF

I just watched that Jackie Weaver Parish Council meeting again and I’d forgotten quite how awful it was. Good riddance to Brian Tolver and welcome Labour’s Ribia Nisa, who won by just 25 votes from someone standing as “the Englishman”. https://www.knutsfordguardian.co.uk/news/19808299.labour-wins-25...

@ak yes a fairytale ending

Hi AK I know it’s out of scope but we could do with a review of a parish council by-election last night

@tc clearly we are not people - just gloomy, misery guts Cassandras

Ha ha ak

Do I need to add that Cassandra was always right?!

Thanks tc

Hi All So I got Covid and need to self isolate for Christmas. Bugger. Anyway, I wanted to highlight the government / Mail narrative about cheerful Boris vs “gloomy scientists”. Different riffs are “misery guts” scientists and my current Twitter handle Paul “Cassandra in a lab coat” Taylor, the last ...

I kind of know Mandy Ridyard - I think she’s to be believed!

Sorry it cuts her head off - hopefully you can click on it

Just saw this on Twitter and thought it was lovely.

Apparently in Nevis when you make it to 100 they put you on a postage stamp

Merry Solstice!

@RoT

Anything to do with partygate?

Hi Gilsey

Oh and Good Morning

Apparently the PM is back in Downing Wine Street

Hi All

Some great posts here today on the virus. Thank you.

I have too little time for politics these days. I’m interested in the Starmer Rayner dynamic. Is there a day I can go back to here to update myself? New posts on the topic very welcome of course

@PF

Tee hee to both gerbils and Accrington

@tc

And if you ever needed an anagram of Stan Ethelbert Ginsburg it would be perfect

Thanks SGO

Better gerbils than gnus

Sons Felix 34 and Ned 32 (when she died I guess)

Hi All popped in to try and make sense of the U-turn.

Can I just check they have u-turned on the whole thing, but just on Paterson?

Hard to keep up with this shambles while at work…

Mandarin glared angrily at Priti Patel breaking the Law of the Sea (6,8).

Apparently the staff at Labour HQ are going on strike

@ak good to hear

@ak what do you think to Leeds’ latest signing?

@sky yes we were very surprised by the multicultural multilingual mix in Fort William - including on the cable car.

Actually my two Spice Tandoori curries were ok - maybe just a bad evening

So funny we’ve been round the same places!!

@ak phew

@sky I was up that chairlift just a couple of weeks back

Thee okay? Incoherent former MP says Northern Ireland had to be sacrificed to get Brexit done. (4,4).

Happy Holiday all

Just catching up with the weekend’s posts. Thanks

It’s worth noting that the Mail on Sunday backed Remain. Doesn’t make that article any less bizarre though!

Obtain ham (3,6)

This Tweet is attracting a reasonable amount of ridicule and despair!

Newspaper front pages not a great sight for Johnson this morning. May’s speech obviously attracted a lot of attention and rightly so. People correctly reminding us of the hostile environment etc. But I think May’s fundamental point was not about caring for Afghan women, it was about Britain’s standi...

Good question. Where’s Gove?

This Tweet popped up on my timeline because AngryBirdFlies, formerly of this parish, liked it. I happen to know ABF is absolutely not a Corbyn fan, but the thread that follows is a ringing endorsement of his politics! Be careful what you like!!! https://twitter.com/lukemcgee/status/14279721168094044...

I’m expecting PF to inform us how they like their eggs done

@PF

Well there’s nobody can say this is a site for niche topics

Seedless raspberry? Do pine martens like them or something?

I enjoyed this piece on statue toppling

Struggling with the Loach expulsion I have to say.

And also in a bad mood because I’m watching Man U vs Leeds….

P.S. my phone was about to write farting rather than faring above

Hi All still struggling to find time to be here but enjoying everyone’s contributions

Can anyone provide a quick objective update on how GB News is faring?

Wow. That almost ended in penalties!

I’ve really no idea what the outcome will be, but there were some Monster Raving Looney folk in the pub earlier

Hope that doesn’t include the Royal Society of Chemistry
