PurpleCanary 5,558 Posted January 6, 2022 Afraid I will have to take a break from posting. Came back from a day out at the seaside to find the cleaning lady had left the apartment looking really like a bit of a tip. A couple of drinks coasters put back on the wrong occasional tables and the biscuit tin placed where the bread bin should go and vice versa. It is going to take me quite a while plus a large non-repayable loan to sort out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,203 Posted January 6, 2022 Amazing when you tell so many lies, you even believe the lies you tell. Who’s ever done that before, get a new phone, which makes you forget the conversation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59898748 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is going to take me quite a while plus a large non-repayable loan to sort out. Very understandable. It's all the time you have to spend on the phone persuading someone else to pay for a new cleaner to come in and sort everything out. And then of course you have to get rid of that phone and get a new one just in case some nosey parker official accuses you of doing something wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 4,300 Posted January 7, 2022 With this government I'm beginning to get confused about whether I'm watching our politicians "governing" the country or watching an episode of The Wire. We now have a PM who is effectively using burner phones to cover up for his criminal activity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,203 Posted January 7, 2022 No idea how tall he is really, or the colour of his eyes, but the song fits the actions. Not only does he make a major couple of moves, but he also throws cold water on the drinks party the other day in his latest blog. Surely BJ knows whenever any of them have a couple of lies to tell, Cummings will have the evidence on his phone. ’ 6ft eyes of blue, Dominic Cummings is after you ‘ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59913081 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
