Not too keen on the Greggs vegan sausage roll right enough although the steak bake is much better than the real thing. Not that that's much of an accomplishment. We could just sell vegan sausages to the Northern Irish and not tell them they're plant based (sorry @Jacksgranda ). This might solve the Brexit problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conversation started when I offered him a hand as he was struggling hand balling stuff off his van. He says he left Liverpool at 3am, got to Perth at about half 9 then he's to go to Glasgow then home. Same everyday, drives about 12hrs a day to unload two deliveries for about 20 minutes a pop. Can't be done, as the UK driving rules are 10 hours per day, unless he is doing it illegally. I would imagine most if not all couriers would have trackers now in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/drivers-hours/gb-domestic-rules Edited July 7, 2021 by SlipperyP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Haitis president has been assassinated by a group of armed men conversing in Spanish. Anyone ready to blow Covid out the water with an American backed conflict in Central America?Bit of a jump to go straight to US intervention, no? Posted three days ago about Haiti in an economics blog I read.A parliamentary election had been scheduled for October 2019, but it was never held. The current president refers to himself as “Après Dieu” [second only to God], and also “Banana Man,” as he is a former plantation manager. Solve for the equilibrium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who killed him, also the person who would run the country in the event of the president's death as per the constitution is also dead. So if things escalate the Americans will no doubt be looking to get involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Aren't we all?As an aside if you ever want a great read I can’t recommend CLR James’s history of the Haitian Revolution, The Black Jacobins, enough. An amazing and infuriating read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
