Hope you have a lovely day

B Johnson told his independent ethics adviser that he knew nothing about where the funding for the renovation of his apartment had come from. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/feb/09/met-police-considering-whether-investigate-pm-boris-johnson-downing-street-flat-refurb Taking so many handouts he couldn't keep up with where they'd come from or another bare-faced lie?

Witnessed something pretty disgusting today. There was one of the light blue masks lying by the kerb, in the road. A man probably aged 60 picked it up and put it in his coat pocket. I guessed he was going to put it in the nearby waste bin but he walked past it. Instead as he got to the entrance to Sainsburys, he took the mask out of his pocket and started to wear it.
How disgusting is that?

Anyone else having login problems with British Gas? I haven't been able to login to my account since 18th January. When I enter the details the screen flashes and says that thereis a problem - try again later. Been on their live chat and when I ask the question I get a message saying they are busy - try again later - agent has left chat.

Premier League star Kurt Zouma could face an RSPCA probe after video (pictured left and right: Screengrabs of the footage) emerged of the footballer kicking and slapping a Bengal cat - as hundreds have now signed a petition calling for the charity to take action. The shocking footage shows the West Ham defender, 27, laughing as he chases the cat around his £2million London home. They video was taken on Sunday - the day after he appeared for the club in their FA Cup victory over non-league Kidderminster Harriers. Today the RSPCA, which has the power to prosecute in animal welfare cases, has commented on the footage, describing it as 'very upsetting'. And bosses at the charity told MailOnline they could launch an investigation, if a complaint is made. The RSPCA, whose prosecutions carry a maximum sentence of five-years in prison for the most serious of offences, did not reveal if any complaints had yet been made. However social media users have already flooded Twitter with complaints about the video, urging the RSPCA to take action.

Answers on a postcard please 😆

University Challenge's original host Bamber Gascoigne dies at home after short illness aged 87
By JAMES GANT FOR MAILONLINE

PUBLISHED: 10:21, 8 February 2022 | UPDATED: 10:25, 8 February 2022
The original host of University Challenge Bamber Gascoigne has died aged 87 after a short illness.

The TV presenter and author passed away at home in Richmond-upon-Thames, west London.

Famously his dedication to University Challenge was so strong he would fact-check all the questions – and even rewrite them if they read poorly.

Had a choice of three televised matches tonight. This is nearest to us. Get your predictions in by 7.15pm.

Someone posted a link on my neighbourhood association's Facebook page to a very useful tool which should help sufferers to get better medical help and social support; see https://mylongcovid.org.uk/my-long-covid-needs .
Developed by the British Lung Foundation but general in its scope, it enables people to rate their post-Covid symptoms by relative severity, add anything else that may be affecting their overall health and generate a report that can be downloaded as a PDF and/or e-mailed to them. It saves an immense amount of time reporting to one's GP or trying to explain to disbelieving family, friends etc why one isn't feeling at all well yet.
There are also useful links to a number of other sources of support.

Which ones do you read and watch?
On weekdays I buy the I paper, unless it is sold out. Then I buy the Guardian. On Saturday I buy the Daily Mail, mainly for the Weekend magazine. Has the best all week tv guide.
I watch BBC news at Breakfast and 6pm
I sometimes watch Al Jazeera news and particularly like a programme called Risking It All. It's about people who risk their lives just to earn a living.
I also watch GB News mostly in the evenings. Programmes I would recommend are, Dan Wootton Tonight, Monday to Thursday from 9pm. If you don't watch the whole show, its worth tuning in about 10.45 for the nomination of Greatest Briton or Union Jackass.
Headliners , every night at 11pm. A comedy review of the next day's newspapers.
Free Speech Nation, Sundays at 7pm. I'm expecting tonight's show will have a dig at those Woke killjoys who are demanding Netflix cancel Jimmy Carr over a joke.
On my phone I have BBC, Al Jazeera, GBNews, CNN, Guardian and Mail online.

I have to admit I hadn’t seen or realised that the government had already made a U turn on the mandatory vaccination for frontline NHS

In my opinion despicable but not unexpected as I had always wondered why the date had been sent so far away after the vaccines were in circulation .

Let’s hope they get there in time

That’s the choice millions of us already faced, even before today’s catastrophic energy price hike news. [1] Now, we know that from April the average household will be forced to pay an extra £693 a year on their gas and electricity. [2]

The Government knows people can’t afford this. Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, just announced a new loan scheme: £200 off your energy bills - less than half the amount they’ll increase by. And you’ll have to pay it back. [3]
The pressure is mounting. This news is breaking all across the media and people up and down the country are realising what this means for our bills. [5] Together, we can make sure the Chancellor knows how we feel – and that we expect him to do much, much more to help.

So, , will you sign the open letter telling Rishi Sunak that too many of us simply can’t afford this hike – and that he has to do more to tackle rising bills? For every 100 signatures we’ll send an email to the Chancellor Rishi Sunak, notifying him.
