Tory Party Conference Schedule 2021 (err, not!)
Not sure this even counts as satire, feels like more than a grain of truth is hidden within.
Just seen the total chaos being caused at five different locations by Insulate Britain. I have no other word for these people.
Don't tell the wife. (Edited)
A guy gets chatting with a girl in a bar, "Can I buy you a drink?" he asked.
"Have you not got a girlfriend?" she replied, "Guys like you always have girlfriends.
""No, sadly we broke up just over a month ago," he assured her.
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that," she said, "Go on then, I'll have a white wine please.
A few drinks later after a kiss and a cuddle they headed off back to her place and made passionate love.
While he was putting his clothes back on she said, "So, you're good looking, a nice guy and amazing in bed, can I ask why on earth you split with your girlfriend?"
he said, "My wife found out."

Fuel Crisis, Garden waste, Co2 shortage, Shop shelves, DIY materials etc... I thought we were 'Taking back control'?
Three weeks ago, the top subject was garden waste. Someone said the shortage of HGV drivers behind the garden waste collection problem was just the tip of the iceberg and exacerbated by 1.3million EU workers returning home between the referendum and the end of the transition period on Dec 31 2020. Others argued it was nothing to do with all these EU workers leaving?
Now here we are, like a disaster movie, and now we can't get fuel for our cars. First garden waste, then last week's shortage was Co2. Now fuel. What's next?
For the past week my partner and I have been driving around Spain and Portugal. There are no fuel shortages, no queues, and no gaps for any product whatsoever on the supermarket shelves? Spain & Portugal had the pandemic aswell, but they have none of the problems the UK has. Why?
Can I suggest that as well as messaging each other about the latest tanker delivery, we message our local MP to ask him why the reality of this 'new era' is completely the opposite of what was promised? Do not accept the explanation 'it is the pandemic', because Spain and Portugal had the same, but they have none of the shortages the UK has, which proves the pandemic is not the whole truthful explanation. And just blaming 'panic buying' is not true either. BP did actually have to close some stations before the panic buying. This is what started the panic buying. The UK has a real supply chain problem, across the piece, made worse by 1.3 million EU workers going back to the EU. That is what is different in the UK. This was not planned for. Why?
Write to michael.gove.mp@parliament.uk . If promises are not delivered we deserve an honest explanation. Not evasion, fibs and drivel!

I'm Thinking of buying a Tablet. I'm looking at a Lenova Tab 11". Or a Samsung Galaxy S7FE 12.4". I've never had a tablet before, has anyone got one of these, and are you happy with it.

Sherlock Holmes Cipher Puzzle (Edited)
Sherlock was mere days away from cracking an international smuggling ring has suddenly gone missing. While inspecting his last-known location, there is a note giving a code :
710 57735 34 5508 51 7718
There are 3 suspects: Bill, John, and Todd. Can you break the Sherlock's code and find the criminal's name? Please just give the criminals name.
All you genius's - see if you can solve this. Then you can discuss the answer I have.
Two old friends, Jack and Bill, meet after a long time.
Jack: Hey, how are you, man?
Bill: Not bad, got married and I have three kids now.
Jack: That's awesome. How old are they?
Bill: The product of their ages is 72 and the sum of their ages is the same as your birth date.
Jack: Cool..But I still don't know.
Bill: My eldest kid just started taking piano lessons.
Jack: Oh, now I get it.
How old are Bill's kids?
Maths Riddle (Edited)
Create a number using only the digits 4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1. So it can only contain eight digits. You have to make sure the ones are separated by one digit, the twos are separated by two digits the threes are separated with three digits and the fours are separated by four digits.

My son's queuing for petrol. He says it's chaos because some people have just left their cars at the pumps so they can come back when there's petrol. Only 2 pumps have been left free to use.
Since the electrician replaced my kitchen light I have just discovered that my heating is not working, the hot water is okay.
Any ideas ?
Can you solve this ?

It may go down like a lead balloon since it is rather mathematical, but I'll give it a go.

i ordered something from Ebay yesterday and cancelled the order within 2 minutes, just had an email saying the cancellation has been declined as the item has been despatched today. 24 hours after I cancelled it.
Tried to contact the seller direct as advised and although given the name Raxted it comes up as the Ebay website.

Lots of messages on my local FB pages about deliveries being late, Tesco and Iceland and Iceland not booking any more deliveries until they get fuel
My Hermes delivery is late but at least that have let me know that they will be here by 7.
Imagine... (Edited)
Imagine a country where the [male] leaders decide families should only have one child.
Imagine the tradition is every family [husband] wants a male heir.
Reality. As a consequence there are many more adult males than females.
Reality. The feminist movement has gained huge popularity since the introduction of social media.

Can anyone recommend a good paint for shading a greenhouse. Just been reading reviews of some and they don't exactly inspire me.
Ordered a few things from “McKay”. Unfortunately have to return one item due to hideous size/style.
Take to Asda which is miles away. McKay only if I can get a lift or taxi fare £20.00
Comment: We stopped free returns on -- sales -- items. They lost my custom and will check other shops for their return instructions. Once one shop starts others will follow.
My kitchen strip light has just given up the ghost but the council say it is not classed as emergency for a 24 hour call out so ring again tomorrow.
No cooking this evening then or even making a cup of tea.
Personal Details (Edited)
Following on from John's @JohnH6 's post, never put your FULL name on a social media forum. It is very easy to find out many personal details, home address, phone number, your children and many things, even religion.

Put your name into Google and you will be very surprised. Directory websites such as 192.com not only provide on-line UK telephone directories, but have the entire electoral register with over 25 million adults on their database.
In the case of 192.com, you need to fill out its record removal form. Check you are not on the 'open electoral register', your Council has a form to request your name is removed from the open register.

Predict the score - something to discuss
It's been suggested to me that if would be more fun to ask for a simple Home, Away or Draw prediction rather than the score.
What do you all think?
There's no Premier League match tonight and I'm away next week so will be Sunday week before the next Predict The Score.
