The Real Saints Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 What were your favourite moments? In ascending order, this is my top three: 3. When he decided to reveal that he'd been instructed to take questions in a very particular order. 2. When he said that he might have told Boris about his plans but neither of them can remember. 1. When he said that he drove to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Quote He said he decided to return to work on 12 April, 15 days after developing symptoms. However, his eyesight had been affected by his illness and so he went for a short drive to see if he could drive safely – to the town, Barnard Castle. He said they sat by the riverbank for 15 minutes, and they wished a passerby “happy easter” while returning to the car. They spent some time in the woods on the way home as his child needed the toilet – he said they saw some people at the distance, but did not break any social distancing rules. Quote Cummings said he made the 246-mile journey to Durham without stopping to get petrol, but thinks he did stop to fill up on the way back. “I’m 95% sure I stopped on the way back down to fill up with petrol, but I can’t be sure,” he said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it could only have been better if he said he was certain he’d not been to Barnard Castle because he’d been in Pizza Express in Woking at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why don't you just stick to specsavers and I'll do the game." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I work in a retailer in Edinburgh city centre. Today was like a normal day of summer. I still have a queue of groups of folk wanting bottles of wine to take to sit in the park. Absolutely fucking everyone has just jacked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Deep breath. The guy who went on national TV and admitted that he drove 30 miles with his wife and child in the car to “test his eyesight” is the most senior advisor to the Prime Minister of the U.K. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as your three I liked; 1 - boasting about his knowledge on pandemics and how he'd written on it just last it year, yet sitting with a death toll of 35k 2 - being absolutely stumped when asked for his message to new Tory voters in Durham 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon wrong about this member of the public sitting at home under lockdown unable to hold his youngest grand daughter or hug the next one up. I tried to watch Cummings' statement with as open a mind as possible but after a couple of minutes thought to myself "entitled shitebaggery of the highest order". Gave up during the journalists' questions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
