She could show people pictures of Manchester?

[donsdaft]

How exactly is Mrs Krankie going to stop people going to Manchester? She's away with the fairies.

Aye, she’s lost it.

[Mason89]

Aye, she’s lost it.

There’s only two possibilities here.

Either Jupiter’s right & she’s lost the plot. Or he’s wrong. I know where my money would be

[donsdaft]

You’ve lost your money Mason.

[donsdaft]

It would have been perfectly reasonable to advise people not to go to Manchester.

But skirling instructions that she has absolutely no ability to enforce?

[Mason89]

It’s a complete on story.

Burnham is an attention seeking wee fanny. Has to act all Bertie Big B0llocks because his eyes on a better job in future

[donsdaft]

Most likely

But Sturgeon’s going power crazy.

They all end up like that.


Edit : Women I mean, not politicians

[Mason89]

No really. Anyone feeling oppressed in any way at all?

What you’ve got is a relentless attack from uk media, trying to undermine Scottish health policy. It’s some shameful sh1t

[donsdaft]

Certainly

But she’s just banned something she has absolutely no control over.

Big mistake

[Mason89]

Did it not happen previously with Bolton?

[donsdaft]

Don’t make rules you can’t enforce.
Particularly now when folk are sick fed up of rules.


I have absolutely no intention of ever visiting Manchester again.
A s’hitehole

[Mason89]

Whether folk are sick of the rules is irrelevant.

Can’t say I’m in any hurry to return to Manchester either

You don’t need to go to Manchester to dig John Cooper Clarke’s biog I Wanna Be Yours though. Audiobook, with the boy himself reading it, is very highly regarded.

“I didn’t want the 15+ hours of this to end, and had I the time, I’d listen to it again right away. The bits of the book I’d previously dipped into were superbly written, but hearing the Bargain Basement Baudelaire read his own life story lifts it to another level altogether. Toppermost of the poppermost.

All human life is here, an authentically-informed whistle-stop tour of western culture and Clarke’s engagement with it for 60-odd years. In the section where he describes his 1965 life, taking in the YCL, a near-addiction to Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Buddy Guy, Elmore James and Sugar Pie de Santo, I thought he was quoting from my imaginary diaries of a decade later.

It’s an unimpeachable talent who can honestly describe his narcotics habit, come out of it alive and triumphant, whilst finding humour in its squalid pathos.

Thanks to the local Library, still sentient despite the unremitting attacks by Gradgrindian opponents of literacy, (JCC is a stout defender of this basic educational right) ✊🏼 for lending me this.

Luxury. Pure, unashamed luxury…”

[Mason89]

I saw JCC at T in the Park once. He was on the main stage doing Chicken Town before Kylie came on. I’ll give the audiobook a go

It’s not irrelevant if folk tell you to stick them up your arse.

She really needs to be told to stick her rules up her arse.
