Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

All the Oasis stuff on BBC over the weekend has made Karl prominent in my thoughts. A very brave man.

@Gwladysover loved the photos. Bluebells are lovely but they are a job clearing up all their stalks once their time is over. Clearing the beds for planting the summer plants is a chore for me I admit- love a nice garden but not so much the maintenance of it.

@peteblue curious as to the song choice? What inspired that?

Very much so. Nice that his legacy lives on here

Well as soon as the camera went up, the doctor said “Wow”.
So obviously I was like FFS..

It was just the amount of Colon that I’d had removed shocked him.
They removed 8 bits to send off for tests and also a few diverticula were spotted.

Could have been worse..

One divvie rocked up “I haven’t done my covid test and forgot to take my bowel prep as well, still ok to have the test though ?”

Erm, no mate. Go home..

Some folk haven't got the brains they were born with. Hope your results are what you want them to be x
 
Worked from home at my Dad's today. Which I consider to be the true working from home - in my home city! Dad bought us a Tesco meal deal for two for ta and did the cooking - refused to let me help. I'm going to go Allerton cemetery with him tomorrow to visit Mum's grave. He goes Every Wednesday, tidies it up a bit and takes new flowers for her. I haven't been for ages so it will be nice to do that with him. Then it's back to Durham to stress about the Everton match.

Went to see a mate yesterday and his wife had just got back from Madiera with her daughter ,she invited us in but I explained we don't believe that anyone hasn't got covid and that hopefully will keep us safe .She got very uppity about it and then said " Well we went to my daughter's home from the airport as she wanted to see the kids ,ne of whom was vomitting and not very well !" I cannot believe she is that thick but she did marry a red .
Infections and deaths are through the roof here and people still seem oblivious .
 
Good morning all on this clear and beautiful day here in Finland. I hope all wake anew this morning full of the joys of spring and that it continues until midnight at least . We had +15° yesterday so that is it spring is here and will be finished sometime next week!
We have had a deceit of lapwings around for the last couple of days and hundreds of Canada geese dropping in for a brief respite .
A birds life is very hard ,we have wagtails that go as far as Africa and then get back here to breed ,feeding the chicks all day long ,every day to beef them up for the trip and then off again . No weekends off and all the time looking over their shoulders for predators ,we have it easy ! COYB

Why does the fact that she has just returned from Madeira put her more at risk of getting an infection?
If you've all been triple jabbed then the risk of infection is reduced and serious consequences or god forbid death are massively reduced.
If you are so worried about your health ( which is perfectly understandable ) then why visit anyone in the first place?

Sadly the 70s were a terrible time for industrial unrest at British Leyland. Constant strikes and shoddy workmanship. The designs were often beautiful but the finishing in the workplace were often shoddy. The TR7 was another design classic but mechanically very suspect. I was very young at the time but my memory of BL was strike after strike. They also made some terrible cars, including the Allegro and Marina - although I know a fellow classics owner who has kept a lovely Marina on the road.

I love my SD1 and Daimler but the DD6 breaks my heart and my pocket with its unreliability

BL were so bad, even the truck section up here in Bathgate.mechanical repairs to his car.
My brother more recently had an Allegro Vanden Plas as a classic.
My mate had a TR7 or the bird puller as we called it at the time, trouble was he could attract girls but then couldn’t afford to take them anywhere due to the mechan
