So whilst we are all arguing about things that happened 100s of years ago. Have any of these protester put forward any concrete policy ideas that can be implemented in the here and now to improve lives? All I've heard is vague statements about 'justice' and 'ending racism'. If the best solutions on offer to these issues are mob rule and tearing down statues, stop the world... I wanna get off!

One an old lady across the road who finished clapping at 8.02pm and at 8.04pm (no lie!) her daugter and granddaughter turned up and went into her house.

Also our next door neigbour who had his daughter (a teacher) around last week.

Will she accept?

Depends what you're asking?

If it's marriage or moving or in, don't ask! If there is that level of doubt, your relationship it just isn't at that stage yet. 

If it's going out on a date, just ask. You can't lose what you don't have. If she says no then you are in the same position as you are now, a guy with no-one to love!

If it's what @It's Your Round is suggesting, just ram it in, guage her reaction and if it's negative, immediately apologise and plead some kind of accident! 

I’m disappointed that there is no voting. I am sure that at a time when tens of thousands are dying globally of viral related pulmonary disorders, the UK’s entry, My Last Breath, would have been a big hit!

Oops, I did it again. 8 weeks without. So so good.

No problem with the gravy...but eating out of the paper with a knife and fork? Now that's messed up!. Pick a side, paper with fingers or plate with knife and fork!

Johnson is consistently being done up like a kipper by Starmer and is being shown to be totally out of his depth when he doesn't have the baying mob behind him to help him get away from giving an answer with bluster and bullshit.

Starmer took Johnson to the cleaners at PMQ's but he should stay away from gimmicks like this... particularly if, they show him to be as deceptive as the PM. He says he is quoting from the document but hasn't. He has paraphrased it, not quoted it. I'm confident that a QC knows the difference.

In the light green (30-40% Irish) areas of Northern Ireland, what do the other 60-70% of the population consider themselves to be?

How is everyone’s bookcase game on Zoom? We all good?

I’ve got a bookcase behind me where I do my Conf calls. Hadn’t really thought about it. It’s a corner of the house where people don’t need to get passed, it’s quiet, it has even lighting and the WiFi is strong.

It really wasn’t about showing people my intellectual book collection. In fact, none of my 4 books are in that particular bookcase. 

Maybe just as well! 

I'm not much of a one for overt displays of emotion but this absolutely broke me when I saw it with the kids about a year ago. I must have been crying, and I mean full on blubbing, for a good 60 minutes of the movie!

Smith, Farke and Wilder are proven at Championship level though. They want instant success at Leeds United, they are a massive club but not as big as their deluded fans think they are

Whats the style?

That's a good question! Don't really know how to describe it... in my head its like a cross between Geno by Dexys Midnight Runners and Rock the Casbah by the Clash...but nowhere near as good as either!

I'm also thinking that it opens with a line about yum yums but as I'm fairly sure that didn't exist as a food substance in the UK in the eighties...I might have completely made that up!

Bit of a long shot but I’m trying to find a song (probably from the 80s) which I’m assuming is called something like Feeding Time? I’ve try to Mooney it but just get loads of zoo related content!

I’m fairly sure the chorus contained a “fe-, fe-, fe-, feeding time” and the general gist of the song was about people eating their lunch in the park (fairly sure there is a lyric about business booming for italiano).

Anyone know the artist?

We had a type of spider I didn’t recognise on the rabbit hutch.

A bit less than a cm long, fat n round, glossy brown with a bit of cream, scruffy shapeless web.

So I looked it up.

It’s called a rabbit hutch spider.

 

I find this post works best if you read it in the style of Alan Bennett.

It sounds like he can’t get done for drink driving now. I reckon he will get done for leaving the scene of an accident though. I assume that’s pretty serious? 12 points and a fine?

With no casualties involved, if he has stopped and left his insurance details, I doubt he's got much of a case to answer there either!

Off topic but Trump isn't a successful businessman. He has a load of inherited money. He failed and bankrupted about 7 businesses. He lost money running a casino ffs  

This coming from the man who advocates businessmen paying 40,000 people indefinitely out of their own pocket. I'm sure the multi-billionaire Donald Trump will be keen to hear more of your advice on how he can become a 'successful' businessman. 

 Telegraph review of Westworld hit the nail bang on the head!
