O/T Heroes and Villains

[Geoff Parkstone]

My good lady went to Iceland yesterday and found the freezers somewhat bare! She got what she could and at the checkout she was talking to the girl on the till who told her that takings had gone up by 300% but deliveries had only gone up by 200%!! Simple maths really!!

Iceland seems to be the focal point of "locust rage". My nearest one to work closed down for a few hours and the police were called as a result of pushing, shoving and fighting.

This morning in my local shopping area, there was a market full of fresh produce, fruit n veg, the large Sainsbury was pretty much back to normal (even had paracetemol but no ass wipes) yet queues round the block and agitation to get into Iceland. This at 10-30am

Speaks volumes for the demographics of the locust plague.

Presumably you sent your butler out and then can wander around looking smug and holier than thou? Its what i did!

No I put him on furlough and am claiming back 80% of his salary but not paying him anything

An administrative error surely? Like that hotel in Scotland who sacked their staff at the end of their shift and asked those living in to vacate immediately?

Anyone tried to ‘pause’ their Sky Sports package? Like looking for a loo roll in a supermarket!

Not their fault it’s all become restricted to repeats, but it is their fault we’re now in our second day of trying to stop paying for such repeats when their system allows all other functions - i.e. purchasing rather than suspending - to seemingly work perfectly.

Big corporations eh? Who'd have thought they would make leaving or not paying difficult?

Exactly!

Well done to Stevenage Borough though...may be bottom of the whole league but leading by example...players and staff playing a full role in supporting those in need in the community.

On the other hand...Trump...again!
Always been a villain in my book but even those who have any time at all for him must now recognise what a dangerous and deluded cretin he really is.
So the U.S. is to start a return to ‘normal’ within a fortnight...’by Easter because it’s a beautiful timeline’!
Is it any wonder we have so many examples of poor behaviour in society when the most powerful man in the World displays such irresponsible insanity.

Its each to ther own RA,
I'm no fan of Trump either. However, I have noticed you have a great dislike for elected leaders and seem to want them removed/punished at will?
If and when a population wants a leader/government removed, it will do so at a ballot box.

So in light of the current climate, who do you believe should/could be doing a better job in the US and here?

Did the public support any of your suggestions?

**** is as **** does. In excess of 19000 lies since the inauguration. He's been great for million- and billion- aires. Less so for the masses. His every move is designed to aid those with to the detriment of those without. He is where he is due to getting 3 million less votes than Hillary but the, IMO, ridiculous voting system saw him win handsomely. I hope he gets voted out in November. Presidency by inaccurate Tweet is not the way forward.

Same in the UK. Whoever wins the most seats has never had more than half of the votes (a real majority). Often they get 30 odd % but still have a working majority. The system needs changing IMO.

IMO for way too long the tail has been wagging the dog...........
