Half an hour of painfully tedious garbage for the odd chuckle? Not a bargain in my opinion.

Is there any sense? UK refuses to restart Brexit talks despite EU accepting its demands No 10 unmoved even after Barnier’s offer prompts Gove to make U-turn at dispatch box

Don't - popcorn lung is a horrible disease. :(

I rather wonder if they have worked out a) that they can vote; b) how to do so. Of course, a) depends on first registering...

I think they are cutting sections out of the Severn bridges.

Here we go... Wales to go into national two-week 'firebreak' Covid lockdown First minister Mark Drakeford announces plan for lockdown from 23 October to give NHS breathing space before winter Rather, here we don't go. Anywhere.

Sem-bloody-antics! Definitely antics. Business secretary claims whether or not Brexit is 'no-deal' is 'question of semantics' One of the main areas where Brexit has wrecked havoc is with the British language. Words are meant to have a clear meaning. With Brexit, it’s...

The "no surprise" headline of the evening: Covid: Greater Manchester set to run out of hospital beds, leak reveals NHS document shows no spare beds for patients in Salford, Stockport and Bolton

Provenance? Don't think Rhode Island is involved! :-)

Back to world beating test and trace or whatever it's called today. First, people are getting wrong alert levels for their areas. (Claimed to be fixed.) I have version 3.7.1(216) installed. With date of release 09/2020. But Apple App store says: 3.7.1 15 Oct 2020 Bug fixes...

Was passing a freezer in one of the local shops the other day - it had a sign saying "Eton Mess". Even if I wanted something as disgustingly over-sweetened as that, I'd not be able to stomach it with the images the phrase brings to mind. PS So glad about the luxury yacht owners.

Can you get whole-body sized condoms? To create safe support bubbles. 'Sex ban': England's Covid tiers throw new obstacles in way of romance Some couples living apart and not in each other’s support bubble not allowed to meet indoors...

Pillockmanship:

People attending such events, and spreading Covid-19 (or at the very least, fear of that, the costs of checking, etc.), are impinging on MY civil liberties. Possibly, in extremis, threatening my life, your life, all our lives. Of course, £10,000 was the statement of someone angry at them...

I suspect a special edition of Britain's Got Talent would be far more popular. (Especially with the "Unlike the government" tag line added.)

Perhaps the fines should be £10,000 for each and every person? After all, simply by attending they are in their own way contributing to organising the event and wantonly breaking the law.

Which is why the Welsh approach of generally not being allowed to leave locked down areas makes quite a lot of sense. And people travelling from Essex to Suffolk, or Birmingham to Tenby, to get round the regulations is abrogation of personal responsiblity of the first order.
