Any labour leader would have been a disaster.

Really sorry to hear of your recent experiences Ben, you have enough to cope with without ignorant jobsworths stressing you out. Hope you have easier days from now on.

I bet you're glad you posted now eh Margie! . C'mon Col be fair. So he tells a lie or three, has affairs, has two illegitimate children, is a back stabbing so n so but don't you think he's just a little bit cuddly?

I do tend to agree with you Nick. I’m being cautious still but not letting the worry of Covid rule my life. However, I don’t feel inclined to use public transport yet, I either drive or walk to wherever I want to go. It’s the idiots who were demonstrating all over the country a couple of weeks ago who are spoiling our release from 3 months of lockdown.

I think Boris was probably the best of a bad lot. Obviously Labour had no hope with their poor, indecisive leader but Boris had a certain amount of appeal to the masses with his charisma. Whether he will stay the course of this parliament when his lack of ability is fully realised remains to be seen. I can't see an obvious replacement at the moment.

Oh, I’m off to Dorset then. Certainly won’t bother going to Bournemouth beach and Lulworth Cove though.

Apparently when dogs roll in shit it’s to mask their own smell when hunting, anyone got any deer recipes? Fortunately on the way home a bloke was jet washing his block paving, few sharp blasts owd Dexter’s sparking & good to go home.

I do think the statistics we're given could be simpler but at the same time unless every death is followed by a post mortem we have to rely on an individual doctors opinion and diagnosis. For someone who dies suffering both chronic heart disease and Covid which is the cause of death? Obviously both contribute but which one do you count?

Whenever I approached the foot bridge, my mind would switch into adventure mode. The footpaths, bridges, nooks and crannies all fascinated me. Never ventured onto the railway itself. Didn't need to, plenty of other distractions. Wildlife plentiful where ever your gaze fell. To me, crossing that bridge was my own personal wonderland. I remember the narrow gauge railway, the little diesel zipping back and forth with its little hoppers. The tunnel it went through was originally built to accommodate water drainage from the Hesgang Pastures. The next tunnel up was built for the same rea

No it isn't on Huntingdon Street. Its on Mansfield Road. No 61 to be precise. It says so on the advert

Well here’s a turn up. I agree with you analysis of Boris Col. I have been very unimpressed by him. The debacle over Cummings and Gove trying to defend him. I was squirming in my seat. I’m glad That Mr Cor Bean didn’t get in but it’s not been a poor show so far.

Thanks for that Margie, now I've got an image I can't shift.

I do, but I play along..

Col you need to recognise a fishing trip when you see it...

Yep. but apart from that what have the Romans ever done for us.?

Boris is showing great leadership in a unique situation, just thankful the spineless yellow back Corbyn, who would be still hiding in self isolation is not running the UK, We'd be on our 3rd referendum by now, I doff my cap to Boris.

Just took my Daughters Jack Russell on Wollaton Park, with minutes he's rolling in sloppy wet deer poo, what's up with him?

They were back again at 11.56 precisely. Once again a full display. This time the cloud base had lifted. Two displays in one day and at 500’ above the house at times. Absolutely spectacular!

Just listening to Mr Johnson's speech this morning and I've decided I feel a bit sorry for the chappie . He really isn't a good orator when speaking about something so serious as the present situation. I can see he's trying SO hard to speak with a certain authority in the style of Churchill maybe? .... I kept waiting for him to say "we will fight them on the beaches ...". I think his strength is more in the cut and thrust and even banter in the Commons. I know that party politics shouldn't be about personalities but I really DO feel a bit sorry for him...

Interesting to see a majority of positive opinions about Dyson. It seems to prove the theory that people who post opinions on websites only do so when they have something to complain about. Those who are happy and have nothing to complain about don't bother telling anyone.

The problem in Leicester is that a lot of the ethnic families live in very close proximity. In the same room sometimes! Also there are a lot of people who don’t speak English and probably don’t understand the severity of the situation.

Just had a personal display at 9.35 this morning. We live directly opposite RAF Syerston and when we heard the noise we rushed to the front door to see them wizzing over our poplar trees at low level. There was a low cloud base so they performed their low-level display which was spectacular. It seemed like it was just for us! I gather they are doing a round trip over Notts and Lincs including the City Centre. I think they’re returning to Syerston at around 12 noon for another show. Just what we need to bring a bit of excitement to our dull lives!

Yes Lizzie that was a terrible night but quite usual for that time of year. Thinking about that night you had to park in the car park right at the other end of the road. If you had gone a little further forward you would have found a small square with parking. You wouldn't have got so cold and wet. The area there is unrecognizable now as they are redeveloping Paese Alto. It's looking very characteristic.

I have decided to go electric cordless wherever possible, no more extension leads that somehow manage to tangle themselves up whilst hanging on a hook. They always get caught on the slightest lump or obstruction and if you have to use more than one to get to far flung parts they are forever coming apart at the join. This does not include them tangling around your feet and being in the way of what it is you are trying to do. No more difficult to start mowers, trimmers, chainsaws etc or getting everything ready for a job and find you have no fuel or have plenty of fuel but the wrong sort, 2 stro

I too am envious Nonna . It looks clean and civilised there and with the Mediterranean glass of wine culture that Blair erroneously thought he could encourage the yobs of the UK to adopt. The UK has fast become a lost society. The end of lock down has demonstrated that the lower element of society is becoming the norm for selfishness and bad behaviour.

My thoughts, for what they’re worth (particularly as I am a Nottingham City Council taxpayer). The way that the high street has gone in recent years we certainly don’t need a second large shopping mall in Nottingham, in my opinion we never did need two ...... I used to park in the Broadmarsh multi-storey quite often but can’t ever remember purchasing anything as I walked through to M&S and other shops that side of town. A ‘green space’ is an attractive suggestion but I do think it would attract a certain element who would likely spend the day hanging around dropping thei

I used to walk the footpath you mention D A with my dad as a child. Down to where the railway went over the Trent. Those bridges were pretty low and under a couple of them were what appered to be WW 2 bomb parts, fins etc We never went near'em. I don't know how they got there. The bridge over the Trent always scared me for some unknown reason. Guys had a rope under there and used to swing out and drop in the river. Not my idea of fun. If you didn't drown you'd probably die from pollution. There was also a narrow railway for gravel. It disappeared into a tunnel under the railway t

My armed guard when I go to Eastbourne.

I include places like The Yemen, Brazil and Mexico in my experience of armed guards - it's not just the really undeveloped parts of the world. Many depend heavily on tourism. Mexico, for example, would suffer badly economically if tourism were banned or discouraged.

Crikey .... you be careful Compo I can see all the inmates in HMP Barlinnie rattling their metal cups on the bars while chanting "COMPO COMPO COMPO" when they bring you out solitary confinement for you daily shower, don't pick up the soap youth, it could be painful!

Armed guards are often more about peace of mind for the tourists and spreading the income from tourism around, than for real danger. Getting to some of the last unspoilt areas of the world is well worth it.

Facebook probably think you’re posting pornographic racist content, a double whammy these days!
