I'm fed up. Recovered so well from my bionic knee, I've been walking every day, no sticks for ages!  The physio was well pleased on Tuesday, went to the pool for a class on Wednesday, then came down with a stinking cold yesterday.


Thinking of you.  😢

Quote from: klondike on Today at 05:28:05 PMCan't get the staff. Scrumpy was doing them but now she's off sick. Mac has got a touch of something or other, Raven is still recovering, I've done something to my leg, Dex vanishes as soon as he spots a mop. It's all a worry.
You have done something to your leg? Varnished it? 
Hopefully the guvvermunt will U-turn on business rates so we can get some loose change in order to employ some staff. It's becoming like a geriatric ward ...

It's a very nice sign, it was the first thing I noticed other than the over flowing toilets.

All hail the mighty conker.

I trust all is in order in the House of Vlad

Good to see you back - I had to put up an Open sign because everybody seemed to think the place had shut for Christmas. I don't think I tightened all the screws up but I'm buggered if I'm getting the ladder out again.

At first it was only a feeling as if you had remembered something or someone but it passed...then there was a stirring, an odd feeling that something somewhere was happening, a portent ...birds could sense it,  flocks were seen leaving the trees, and there was a mighty murmuration in the skies..animals flocked uneasily together, dogs stayed close to their masters.
Why?....

Vlad the chosen One has risen...

Beginning to look very much like the bin men haven't. I suppose they might tomorrow but past 4 today is unlikely

Fat Stan stomped towards the puss
And said 'leave, don't make a fuss'
That cat gave Stan one careful look
Gave a miaow and off it took

Quote from: Ashy on Today at 09:22:45 AMAnd he has some idea of wealth creation
I'm not sure that tariffs help with that and he seems very keen on those.
Free trade deals are valued for a reason.

The idea is to boost home industries but it puts up their raw material prices too so the prices go up for consumers who then want higher wages and so on. (very handy bit of German there which they just abbreviate to usw. They often use it in when speaking too)
