FOOTBALL

Bragging rights. Having wallowed at the bottom of our little league table for a while I am on a roll this week with 6 correct results including 3 correct scores out of the 8 games so far! Week 14 can be viewed here

UGLY

Double standards – Xmas party not denied by the liar. New hospitals include those having a refurbish – whilst this could be believable in extreme circumstances, it is a bit like me getting new tyres for the car and claiming it is a new car. Many Tory MP’s not wearing masks although sleaze-dogg was!

RABID RIGHT

So Johnson continues appease the frothing mouths of the rabid doggs in his back benches.

Unfortunately I have heard their argument around here for some time. Covid is here to stay so might as well just let people die rather than the terrible curtailment of civil liberties by having to wear a mask. If the virus mutates, well why waste time with new vaccines. sacrifices on the alter of the free market economy are just an inconvenience. This argument does not seem to be worked through or at least articulated properly – they fail to state the logical next step that people with covid should be denied access to the NHS. This would of course make the NHS more attractive to American Medical Giants and Hedge Funds.

OMICRON

As usual the evidence is confusing. Evidence so far from South Africa is that this variant is less potent (fingers crossed this is correct) but more virulent. The case in Essex was communicated second hand from someone who had been to S.A. 2 weeks ago. Ministers are talking up the variant whilst talking down action. Could this be an elaborate plan to enable the Tories to claim that “Johnson has saved Xmas” and to cover up further mismanagement, corruption, sleaze and selling off the NHS? Is that too cynical?

PLACE NAMES

I know I am weird so do not bother telling me – again! But I was looking up places I have never been on Google Maps and thought of xxxxxxxxx. OMG – it is surrounded by the most prosaic names. Ab Kettleby; Scalford; Ashfordby; Frisby on Wreake; Kirby Bellars; Gaddesbury; Whissendine; Quenibrough; Syston; Seagrave;Grimston.

So what is the name of the town surrounded by these exotic sounding places?
