Corperate giants didnt get to be giants by not monopolising the system to their advantage ,think of the billions spent on unknown and unseen things from unknown sources ,money can be made from any opportunity by big companies ,fred blogs flogging flowers is making more money because they are being sent to grieving families death is good to the living not so great for those nearing it clouds have silver linings money will always be made.
Cods whinge about pubs with no beer wasnt that no beer was available it was because brewers couldnt meep up with demand the opposite he was trying to insinuate ,beer suffers in storage (or rather with modern rules and sell by dates) so it wasnt until the pubs reopened brewing for pubs restarted
I have cider in bottles ,cans and those cardboard gallon doodas well over their best by and they are fine but pubs will have a use bye date on theirs ensuring the brewers stay brewing as probably a great number of casks use by dates will have fallen within the lockdown and the rush to restock caused the shortage not some brexit shortage of beer cod wants us to believe as most are made here under licence
A great number of small companies could have got round the rules just by changing their normal practices buy whining for handouts is easier and more rewarding
The local garden center worked right through the lockdown ,at first you phoned up ordered and paid online and he left it by the gate ,then to help those with no online facilities he aquired a card reader and you tapped your card on it as you picked up the goods ,perfectly safe ,socially distanced the only drawback you couldnt browse and had to ask like you did before tech took over just dont ask for forkandles
Most breweries have added a month to their use by dates now so where as a barrel of lager would have a use by of 6 - 8 weeks they now have 9 - 12. also the breweries main customer base has changed and supermarkets are now their biggest customers and so are getting priority.

I couldn’t eat popcorn reading this I’d be spitting it out every few seconds, by far funnier than the have a laugh thread.
If only Monty Python was still going I would send it to them as a successor to the lumberjack sketch.
Sadly it seems to have returned to its normal direction, I was enjoying the entertainment and the chest thumping threats

Chester’s doesn’t have to take it seriously ,brexsick isn't ****ing his livelihood up and obviously yours as well .
No, I'm still doing work for European companies. there's a little more paperwork involved but then we did work for companies outside the EU before so not much difference.
Thing is no matter what you post on here Cod it isn't going to make a difference so why keep regurgitating the same old shiite.
Still at least I've had my covid jab if we'd still been in the EU chances are I'd still be waiting.

Feck me is this still on going, its like the worlds longest game of tennis. Mind at least Chesters1 isn't taking it seriously.

Actually Belgium has a population density of approx 383 per sqkm, England (not the the UK as the figures are skewed by Scotland and Wales) has a population density of approx 430 per sqkm so who's packed in where ?

How many we let in now to the U.K. to spread it all about , did you see that lady travelling from South Africa yesterday straight in no checks on yer go , she might have been carrying the South African covid variant. But no bother just get yourself off the U.K. government aren’t bothered In the slightest we don’t care our record is the horrendous so we will just carry it on .
But from next yes next week at last !!!! You may have to quarantine when arriving in the U.K. but where you are actually quarantining to is a mystery
not one hotel booked to put anybody else in , just a year to late but don’t worry our record is horrendous we prefer to do everything when the horse has bolted no point spoiling it now They would have had to have had a negative covid test less than 72 hours old before they could fly from SA to the UK.
How do I know this because 2 friends of mine returned from SA to the UK in October and they were required to have this plus a South African Health Declaration form. A South African Traveller Health Questionnaire-Screening Within South Africa form. and a UK Passenger Health and Quarantine Form. Which cannot be more than 48 hours old

Very very sad to say we have highest death rate in Europe with coronavirus this data was accurate to 2 days ago you wants facts there you have it !!! Could that very high number being avoided well that’s the 64 million dollar question .And to laugh about something so destructive isn’t really the done thing is it
As I say look at the rates per capita, of course we have an overall higher number of cases and deaths than a number of European countries we have a higher population and population density apart from anything else, that's why looking at the figures per 100,000 gives a far better idea of whose coping with it well, but of course that wouldn't support your argument as there are a number of European countries with rates higher than the UKs.

So let’s put it in a nutshell how has Britain done with coronavirus, the record infection rates etc etc speaks for themselves just what can you say Johnson has failed our statistics are the worst in Europe without any doubt.
Actually if you go by the rates per capita (cases & deaths per 100,000 population) we're not near the worst https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/cases-2019-ncov-eueea
but hey why let facts get in the way

I've never seen them prepared like that in the UK and only know of them through YouTube.
Mass-produced frozen onion rings is about as good as it gets over here.
Bloomin onions are great, I first had one in San Diego in around 98, very tasty.

OK, so all hail to the Gospel of corydoras - Nikon, who are a world leading, or certainly competing photographic company - Can't even emblazon the CORRECT Camera Spec' on their product!!
It's been a few years now since the "Japs" got it wrong!!
Is it the S210 coolpix ? as this has a 8mp sensor and an iso range up to 2000 (although photos taken at this iso will probably be grainy as hell) .
iso 2000 isn't that high for a half decent modern digital my 7d came out in 2009 and will go up to iso12800 and the mark 2 (released in 2014) will go up to iso51200.
if you really want to push it the 1dx mk3 will go as high as iso819,200 in H3 custom function but will cost you about £6500 without any lenses.

Very strange there fatalities are literally nothing yet we have terrible numbers but paddy did say as early as January they were on lockdown .Very very strange the difference in numbers obviously we have done something drastically wrong in comparison we had over over 400 fatalities yesterday .
They stopped all flights to and from China is what I think made a big difference where we were still letting flights in and out of countries like China and Italy, when I was there in Feb the popular tourist destinations were pretty quiet but only because the majority of their tourists are Chinese and they had been stopped. There was no social distancing going on, bars and restaurants were fully open and relatively busy (once again trade was down and quieter but that was down to the lack of chinese).

You forgot to mention Vietnam my old mate teaches in Ho Chi Minh City I visited him 3 years ago unbelievable place, Vietnam has a 97 million population , paddy is back teaching next weekend the coronavirus virus fatality rate is 0 , Vietnam acted immediately and locked down early because the SARS outbreak it suffered a few years ago it hit them hard .,here in the U.K. Boris Johnson with his head in the clouds was to slow to act. The second highest death rate in the World , says it all and we have a long long way to getting out of the woods
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52628283
And the government now want kids back to school early June many Parents are not listening and feel it is far to soon and will ignore the government and that goes for my grandchildren as well
The British people have now lost faith in this government’s handling on this pandemic .
Vietnam locked down travel to and from China early that's true and we should have done the same, but otherwise their lockdown wasnt particularly tight early on as I was there throughout February and businesses, bars clubs etc were all open there was little checking that i saw at the border, we were offered masks but most didnt wear them.

Well my local has had beer shortages not due to lack of delivery drivers but due as I said previously to the suppliers send the beer (specifically bottled beer not draught) to supermarkets instead as they have now become their biggest customer and so are getting priority over pubs.
