General Discussion / Crazy world

I've just brought my wellies in from the shed to warm up indoors.  This is something I do at the beginning of every winter, but it's the first time the beginning of winter has occurred in March!

Meanwhile on the BBC website, in spite of the weather warnings about heavy snow causing all manner of disruption, the actual local forecast hasn't admitted to any snow at all - only sleet.  Maybe snow is too white for the BBC, white being politically incorrect nowadays.  Maybe sleet is better at meeting their diversity targets.

. . . in a report about dental neglect.

"What is most worrying is that the cost-of-living crisis is forcing some parents to cut corners with their children's teeth."

The mind boggles!

Politics / Saint Boris?

This morning I heard Boris's voice coming out of the next room, where my wife was watching the Jubilee celebration service from St Paul's.

". . . whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.  Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you."

Appropriate, I think, for the words of St Paul to be read in St Paul's Cathedral, but whoever gave them to Boris to read, especially  in the middle of Partygate, must have either a magnificent sense of irony or no sense at all!

Chesterfield Discussion / Covid jabs in Chesterfield

So people aged 70-79 are supposed to be getting invitations this week, but only if all the over-80s in their area have been done.

Yesterday we heard from an 89-year-old that none of the over-80s in Harehill Court have had an appointment yet.  Today I got a text message saying "As you are aged 70-79 you are invited to make an appointment . . " which I have done.  I'm going to the Winding Wheel on Sunday.  I'm 74.

Something wrong there.

Did you hear about the fire at the soap factory? 
When the firemen turned on their hoses, the roof fell in with a thickening sud.
