DiegoDiego Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hitler was born 131 years ago today. Mental to think that his birth is closer to the life and times of Bonnie Prince Charlie than to the present day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hello lads! Just thought I'd share the second track from my upcoming debut album, Grey Hairs And Black Dogs (out on May 29th). This song is called Someone Like Me and it is based on those extremely rare occasions at university when an attractive member of the opposite sex would show an interest in me and I'd convince myself that they must be going through a temporary period of insanity. Their attraction to me would be a real turn-off. There is nothing more unappealing than bad taste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM-LhQfsp4M 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearthammer Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Just received my "high risk" letter this morning from the Scottish Government. It says i've to self-isolate and follow the various instructions they provide for a full 12 weeks - "from the date of this letter". I've been chez moi since 21st March, so i'm already 5ish weeks compliant. Another seven weeks from now will take me to the middle of June, which is roughly when my work are looking (optimistically) to be resuming. I'm more concerned to find out if this letter is the equivalent of a "sick line" if my work want to resume, but i'm obliged to stay home due to my health (or lack of it or i wouldn't have got the letter). It's something i'll look at if the situation arises, but has anyone here who has a similar letter been made aware of what the position might be ?? Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Not me (hard as nails) but know a few folk who have received them, basically same boat as you. Self isolate as much as possible and just see when the situation changes.

Ross. Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Somehow managed to get sucked into a covid-19 conspiracy theory/anti vaxxer discussion on Facebook earlier, arguing with a couple of folk who have always seemed generally sound of mind but now seem certain that Bill Gates wants to force the world to take his drugs so he can rule for all eternity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his dosh and being in his 60s would he not be better working on a life extending drug before going for world domination? Would only take the world domination bit serious if he was in a swivel chair and stroking a cat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the good people of P & B not record a charity single to raise funds for Mumsnet given our fraternal/sororal/paternal/maternal connections from a few years back ?? I'd like it to be a fitting tribute and would suggest a cover of the legendary Fife band, "Stookie's Foot" single from the 70s called "Whingeing Bints". Any alternatives for the charity single ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
