So here we go... Wimbledon starts today. Djokovic plays midday as we have no requirements on mandatory vaccines to enter the country. I Love Wimbledon , always have so game on !

A couple of days ago It was jokingly clarified that Soc is a term of endearment on this site but was wondering if there are any ‘new/modern’ words used nowadays that members may know of!

Here’s a link with all the well known and commonly used ones

What do you call your loved ones?

On Wednesday I needed a new frying pan, so ordered one on the Argos website. I clicked the Next Day Delivery and my first delivery slot was Friday between 7.30am and 9pm. So not next day, but that's not an issue. I get an email from Argos saying my item will be delivered by Yodel and on the morning of the delivery day I will get an email with a 1 hour delivery slot.
Yesterday I am checking my phone from 7am and wondering if every ping is the email from Yodel. I can't go out in case I am getting a morning delivery. Eventually I get the email at 2.45pm telling me the delivery will be between 3pm and 4pm.
What is the point of getting an email about the delivery time only minutes before the actual delivery?
At least with DPD they always email mid morning, so you know if you can go out and come back home in time.

I had no idea there were so many ways of showering but talking to friends it seems we are all different.
1 washes hair in sink before going into the shower
1 never uses soap or body wash but uses shampoo all over
1 leaves shampoo on hair whilst showering and rinses off last
1 showers first and washes hair last.
Me - I shampoo, rinse, conditioner on, shower body rinse conditioner off and rinse body.

The Wimbledon Choral Society concert at Sloane Square was a complete sell out and raised over £5000 for the UNICEF Ukraine children appeal.

Widely reported in the media, it looks like Boris is reaching out for the "Grey Vote".
Is he desparate to cling on to power?

In your opinion how low does the number of cases per day have to get for you to think the epidemic is over, Covid is just another virus that's out there?

Am I alone in hoping the two bye-elections on Thursday result in a bye bye Boris?

is £28 per shot.
Revealed by top NHS surgeon Professor Karol Sikora, AKA The Positive Professor.
He was discussing with Patrick Christys on GB News last night, the crazy decision to vaccinate children from age 6 months. Children that young up to school leaving age are in absolutely no danger of serious illness
Covid itself is no longer serious for most people.
The only reason the vaccines are being pushed onto people that don't need them is for the big pharma companies that produce them to make more profits.

As per someone’s suggestion about creating an Amazon wish list to receive items needed for taking care of the many cats i rescue I looked into it and went ahead with it. But due to lack of knowledge I have no idea how to complete and inform Scooploop people about it. I lack time and knowledge. So here I am looking forward to receiving items from kind people prepared to help but no idea how to introduce the list !!!
Today the catch of the day was one mama with her five kittens in a garden. Next four kittens to catch in an N11 garden where already 9 cats have been caught and 5 put back after vet’s visit.
Too many irresponsible pet owners cause a never ending problem.

Lidl could have this facility but outside every space is taken up with goods. Sainsbury’s has a bench where one can wait for your pick-up.

They are quick to use and cheap to buy but the truth is that “cleansing wipes” do not really clean the skin. Instead they smear the dirt, bacteria, oil and make up from one place to another place. It is like skipping the rinse cycle of your laundry.
Cleansing agents are designed to break down debris within the pores, but it is the rinsing action that actually removes it.
The short term benefits of wipes have negative long term consequences.

What does it take to get rid of Boris?

Two bye-elections next Thursday may shift Wakefield to Labour, and Tiverton to the Lib-Dems.

This requires a huge swing to show how unpopular the current government is, lead as it is by a man with no integrity.

Will he resign if the Tories lose both seats?
