I know my uncle's definitely won't but what a thought indeed.
He was a talented footballer with Peel AFC and during his first time off the Island was shot in the leg in Normandy . ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

Having read these comments I need to lie down in a darkened room listening to one of those hypnotherapy downloads

To be fair, Boris Johnson did change from a pro-Europe Conservative to a ranting brexiteer lunatic in the space of three years. I'm sure Putin had nothing to do with that. Certain. Definitely. Completely convinced.

Is this what LSD does to you? Who needs it? It's getting to the stage where it's almost impossible to believe what's going on.

Compared to some of the lads I've taught over the years ,he is positively angelic . He's definitely no hard man. He's more daft than deadly.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. Itโ€™s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal thatโ€™s being pitched as Trumpโ€™s โ€œGaza Peace Dealโ€ which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

It's eight years since Mum died. She was 95 and blessed with being well until the week before she died. She was as Manx as the hills and had a brilliant and sometimes naughty sense of humour. Remembered today with a smile. She has a truly beautiful place to rest

I'm so sorry.
As time goes on it's barely acknowledged, let alone taken seriously. A disgrace given the real cost to people
What is going to happen to a generation of children who are unprotected at school and repeatedly infected, too?

How many have caught it at work too, seeing as many employers insist on attendance . I know my son has twice.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but how many doctors would be happy about that ?
It's a terrible idea
