............. your mileage may vary ............... 😎

I think it's still too new & shiny to get worried unless you are heavily into import / export ............. The truth / full horror (depending on how you view it) will take a while to sift through. ( imo / ymmv / etc ) 😎

If you use T Cut, you must polish with something good afterwards - T Cut is NOT a polish' just an abrasive. 😎

I hoped that 'they' would get the Army to do the distribution, not Yodel.............. 😎

I suspect that music pubs will always be around in university cities, it's the mor suburbs that have lost a lot of venues? 😎

Now this IS a surprise .............. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55302724

............ some you win .................... 😪

Oz term for Poker Machines - we have them in the UK in some pubs, usually operated by gentlemen hailing from Derry (or thereabouts) .............. .😎

I'm sure that can't be legal............. 😎

At least it stops stuff like the sad fiasco over James Browns estate. 😎

(puts on tin hat) Music, at the end of the day, is a product. Dylan has lived very well off his version of that product for many years. He's astute enough to know that the zillion dollar sales are over and at 79 probably does not fancy the work that touring involves. He has children (several) and he's not getting any younger - this large amount of money merely stops any arguments (& represents a lump sum royalty?) The estate and it's survivors will benefit - what's not to like? 😎

Unlikely, given its form so far ................ 😎

Media is full of the 'jabs start on Wednesday' stuff - Nowhere seems to have any detail (including my Health Centre website) Is is all a state secret ? Does the vaccine really exist ? Updates coming to an internet forum near you - (hopefully) (perhaps) 😎

And now, just when you think the Govertnmint couldn't scrape much more out of the bluddy barrel, non - quarantine is legally available if you can afford it - ]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55162318

^ ^ ^ The BBC can't simply claim 'not us Guv' when stuff is being done in the name of the Corporation ? 😎

In fairness, that wasn't the present shower.............. 😎

Umm 'Benefit in Kind' perhaps ? (just musing for a friend) 😎

My Bad -Colour Television: 50 Years On. On 1 July 1967, BBC Two officially became the first channel in Europe to transmit in colour. The debut colour programme was an outside broadcast of Wimbledon, featuring the Men's Singles match between Cliff Drysdale and Roger Taylor.

Nothing about the BEEB surprises me - this is the mob that started colour tv with The Black & white Minstrel Show and steadfastly ignored black music all the way through the 70's. It's only the fact that they are our 'official' broadcasting company that keeps the licence fee existing. It's just another form of bluddy taxation, imo 😎

Agreed, but sometimes pubs are their own worst enemy - one of many similar incidents - https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/rise-devons-covid-hotspot-linked-4694233

So continuing a theme here - apparently if you order a substantial meal (ie scotch egg) and don't eat it, you can booze all night? (asking for a friend) 😎

IBTL ...........

Ah, thanks for that - the rumour mill is still not in lockdown then ......... Trump has a very vivid imagination. 😎

ok, help me out - what has Trump (I guess that's who you mean?) to do with the NHS? 😎

A lot is going to hinge on how many will actually want to get vaccinated and how much of a farce the logistics turn in to. Going by the problems so far, I'm not hopeful. 😎
