Was looking to buy some Miracle grow as its running low, the last one I got from Wilko around £4 had a look its £3.50 save £1. But £5 delivery and no buy and store pick up like I did last time. So I looked on e bay, some are selling it for £39 because the shops are closed and its profiteering. I'll wait. Wickes do Click & Collect (don't know where you are), £4.50: www.wickes.co.uk/Miracle-Gro-All-Purpose-Feed---1kg/p/132362#

As an ignorant foreman I once had used to say, "I'm a graduate of the university of life". I did go to a grammar school, but I was a skiving, cards school waster and failed all my A levels. I remedied that youthful misbehaviour by securing an HND in an engineering discipline, and although that didn't require a good command of English, to this day I do look things up and try to remember them for future use. I have little time for those that wallow in patois. Sure language changes- it evolves, but the way things are going we'll all end up parleying jibberish like cave men. I leave you to draw your own conclusions as to causality init? I send all texts let alone eMails complete with punctuation and largely avoiding acronyms and abbreviations which I suspect irritates many unwary recipients but I remain unapologetic. If the last few give up then where are we.
Although apostrophe abuse is rife, I occasionally read back my own writing and note that I've committed a faux-pas. What really gets me is "I would of thought that ..." or "I should of done ..." etc. Given that I know I'm far from being squeaky clean myself, and "people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" etc, I've learned my lesson not to pick up folk on such matters, but such perpetrators are part of a gene pool that I would not wish to swim in. Yes I do know that one shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition! Splitting infinitives is another one, but talking heads on The BBC and cabinet level polititians do that all the time, so there must be a common acceptance resulting in dilution of standards? My nephew went to Eton and is now studying the philosophy of theology and ancient Greek at Cambridge, yet he regularly commits heinous errors too.
I can think of at least four other drinkers that are eloquent in their contributions, and I derive all the more from reading their posts for all that. At the end of the day, life's a broad church and the opinions of others hold their own validity. For that reason I decline to write in disparaging tones about folk that just happen to hold an opinion at variance with my own. I continue to hope that the worst exponents will see the error of their ways.
A random disclosure then? I am sporting a stunner of a black eye. Domestic abuse brought on by self isolation? Nope. I passed out in the bathroom and crashed down onto the floor. Her indoors was terrified. Get an ambulance? Not on your nellie at the moment. I am doing what any self-respecting drinker would do, self-medicating with beer and trying to remember what happened, but it's a blank. S'life I guess ...

Yep been there done that. I see Mr Branson wants bailing out by the taxpayer or he claims virgin atlantic will go under. I say use the NHS money he sued and got. As for the bail out no way, sell his island.

If Branson is wanting public money, is the age of globalist greed coming to an end? It's just a thought that this Chinese bat crap virus might bring an end to globalist leeches like Branson and Soros? Just a thought though.

I thought Richarse Branson sold Virgin Atlantic years ago?
I met him twice. Both are mildly interesting yarns.
Edit: just read Dinky's post again, I "met" Soros once too. Well to be truthfull he visited the factory where I worked with a view to capitalising on a venture, but he saw straight through the BS. At the time my next in command was a Hungarian chap and Soros was like a hero to him. Just another clutching grasping specimen to me.

"yep been there and done that :I"
Me too. I did it twice last year in one visit, at first face down on the bath rim. Second time finished up with the old bonce face down between the pan and the wall. Panic when I came to trying to extricate self from predicament with no idea where I was. I told the quack. "Yes that's common" was the unwelcome repost. Well thanks for wasting my time. YCNMTU.
As I said- s'life n'est ce pas?

Both times an ambo was called and I was taken to hospital and both times it was decided that my blood pressure medication was to blame. lisinopril amlodipine losartan Each of these wiped me out.

S'nice to know I'm amongst friends Dave!
Sadly I'd not been on the hooch either time. If I had been so disposed, I would have felt it was all justified. It's a good job we can larf about it!

Sorry to change the subject but had to pop in with this. Has anybody been watching 'Davidson's This Week' Blog .. Jees! after weeks of misery this bloke has cheered me up no end and I never really rated him before, maybe he's one those things wot improve with age. Warning the second one's a bit long but it did make me chuckle, it's worth watching through to the punch at the end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZn8UTU1Bx4www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBBLJZVMLa4

Piers Morgan had guests on this morning, one race baiter and one leftie historian and Farage, guess which on he talked over and tried to make him say things, not the race baiter or historian they had free reign to talk. So Davidson is bang on about Morgan.

This whole BLM crap is really getting on my nerves. www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/council-says-sir-francis-drake-4211906Without Drake we probably be speaking Spanish without Churchill we would probably be speaking German. You can not redraw history, if you can not accept this or you do not like this country you always have the option LEAVE AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DEMONSTRATE FCUK OFF and shut the door behind you! Please do not ANYONE accuse me of being "racist" I grew up where two of my cousins were mixed race, and many of my friends were similar.
