  1. "...U.K. Suffers Marmite Shortage During COVID-19 Pandemic - The U.K. is experiencing a shortage of Marmite, the polarizing yeast-extract spread, due to a lack of brewer's yeast, an ingredient now in short supply after pubs closed down amid the coronavirus..." Holy crap! It really is true - rather than just a localised peninsula supply chain issue 🤯🤯 I am now in full-on, free-fall, panic buy, prepper mission mode! I just scraped enough for today but have now fully exhausted in-house stocks.
  2. Anyone else found Marmite in short supply on the shelves? I’m now A1 OPDEF Marmite and haven’t been able to buy it for passed 2 weeks! Cant be Brexit related - apparently it’s made in Burton on Trent? Marmite - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  3. Bloody hell - that’s a long one! Skimmed it. The bloke questioned the validity of a public figure making a public statement. Or, to put it another way, he did his job. Good man, stayed true to his own moral compass rather than adopting woke mag 👍🏻
  4. Don’t forget to include a family of immigrants freshly plucked from the English Channel, and some local BAME / Muslim brothers, that’d be a TOTAL SLAMDUNK and guarantee success. Might be some knock on unintended consequences as the ripples of woke discontent expand into nearby towns and shires but - so long as you’re rural rather than urban - should be manageable by the ‘good ‘ol boys in 4x4s with pitch forks and flaming crucifix. Bosh! Arbtalk in its finest hour 💪🏻
  5. You could fanny around with letters, photo’s, solicitors, claim for damages, civil action for trespass etc etc etc.... But that’d take ages, cost a bundle and no guarantee of 100% success either way... LA don’t want staff ‘going missing’ on the job.... Probably be years before anyone actually noticed they were still drawing pay but haven’t been seen since the old king died.
  6. Catch 'em in the act, set them on fire, bury the smouldering corpses in the ditch.... Bosh. Job done! (PS - just as well have the Beech for firewood if it's down anyway)
  7. All up, not an entirely inaccurate definition.... Where is your extract from? I favour this one: “...the act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue...”
  8. Will he get ass-y?
  9. Bit abstract....😂
  10. White lines! White lines? Weme more likely to have a strip of vegetation where tractor tyres don’t go running down the centre of a single track, high hedge lane! Don't matter too much in a 4x4 but we took posh friends (wife’s not mine) for a Sunday roast out Pillaton way and they ripped the spoiler off the fancy Beema 😂
  11. I listened to that whilst eating my chicken & bacon baguette! What a mug he made of him!
  12. I don’t think the teacher is half as daft as the mongs that are (apparently) so up in arms about it. “....it’s offended me and all my Muslim brothers...” has been the common rant on LBC today. You’d think they’d be more exercised about the genocide in China than a cartoon image in Bradfordistan, but hey, never let the reality of world priorities get in the way of claiming the UK is institutionally racist huh...
  13. Been across the river to Devon K - they got dual carriageway and all that jazz over there! (hence the rush to get home 😂)
  14. They will (and absolutely should) do absolutely nothing “to” the teacher - other than perhaps protect him from manifest threat of violence to his person because he hasn’t ‘done’ anything that would warrant police investigation / intervention. They will likely similarly do absolutely nothing about the unlawful gathering and threats of violence which ARE worthy of police investigation / intervention. Isn’t this just another example of an over entitled, over excited cohort flouting the law because they think they can? Think I’ll drive home at 120mph tonight and then kick off like billy-o if I get a speeding ticket.
  15. They don’t like it up ‘em Mr S 😂😂😂
  16. @eggsarascal Egger will laugh at this.... Once had the local chapter JWs knock the door when I lived in Torpoint. It was back in the day when I didn’t really have anything like wife / child / business to occupy my “spare” time and I was ‘time rich’ A Sunday morning after a particularly enthusiastic drinking night before, answered the door in my crackers, bleary eyed, still pissed and notably disheveled to be confronted by a bloke in a cheap whistle & bird in tow. After the initial wave of panic - thinking it was CID and not quite sure what happened the night before - I realised it was JWs! They opened their pitch with some old pony about damage to a local phone box and how terrible society had become. I thought, well that’s odd, there aren’t any phone boxes anywhere nearby. When pressed for the location, date and details of said damage they conceded that it was just a generic opening pitch. Right you cnuts, thinks I, you come here, wake me up and try preaching about the state of society when your opening pitch is knowingly and intentionally fictional..... 2 ½ hours I kept them there! I knew they were too polite (lame) to actually say “...we’ve got a right one here, lost cause, let’s do one...” It all fell apart for them with the misrepresentation at the opening pitch and went downhill very quickly when their (assumed superior) quotes from scripture were countered, at every point, by real life experience of having visited and studied most of the actual locations and stories they were trying to present. That’ll learn ‘em! Never saw ‘em again 😂
  17. Totally understand, for every one’s sake, if it was sub-optimal product, he’d have been better off saying “Sorry, I’m out”
  18. Hell! I can’t think of anything that would make me LESS happy than doing a job, getting paid, undoing the job and giving the money back. That’s about as pointless and nugatory a series of actions as I could ever imagine. Well done for getting your mullar back though.
  19. Great for kindling - no so great for firewood!
  20. Retort of the year contender right there 😂
  21. Or just take the Cornish approach and give it all a DGI! There are many hereabouts that still haven’t bothered with basics like vehicle RFL, MoT test & insurance. This creature turned up on site last week to remove timber. Nothing to do with me - my work was done! Private arrangement between landowner and local ‘log merchant.’ Every stick fell off 4 times before he got them all onboard and then he drove off through Callington on the public highway! I felt sorry for the dog!
