Well BF is a cheery little bugger isn't he?

Likethebattle · 21/03/2020 11:07

We.’lo all be dead eventually. Soon Is not soon in eternity.

BeetrootRocks · 21/03/2020 11:08

Love BF!

altogirl · 21/03/2020 11:09

Welcome back, BF!

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 21/03/2020 11:14

Aww. Welcome back birdie friend.
What does he reckon? Coronavirus killing us all?

PicturesOfCats · 23/03/2020 13:59

Glad BF is back.
Perhaps the more cynical among you can keep it to yourselves, and allow the rest of us to enjoy hearing about our imminent demise in peace?

Threelionsandalioness · 23/03/2020 14:07

Yes!

Nomorewine77 · 23/03/2020 14:35

Yes,for Birdie friend! Although that most recent update is rather terrifying Confused

TheReluctantCountess · 23/03/2020 14:44

We need more BF wisdom!

swishthecat · 23/03/2020 14:51

Could you ask BF to give Johnson some pointers on how to handle the current crisis?

Cherrysoup · 23/03/2020 15:10

I’d be tempted to burn birdie friend with fire then drop it off a cliff.

BemidjiMinnesota · 23/03/2020 17:46

Hooray for Birdie Friend! Though his message was a little mean, I'm sure you have several months of vibrant life ahead of you.

TaterWaffle · 23/03/2020 22:53

I couldn’t find the ingredients to make our usual pain au chocolat in Waitrose.

This is exactly the kind of first world problem we need to distract our attentions from the boring end-of-days soap opera unfolding around us!

Frankiecandle · 23/03/2020 22:54

That's all we need.

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 24/03/2020 01:00

@PlomBear come back and tell us about BF

IHateUserName · 24/03/2020 02:27

PlomBear you take it all so calmly & prosaically. Grin I'd be a paranoid mess by now, especially with the current crisis. I'd also be careful of doing anything to BF, he may come back very angry & he already seems to have a mean streak. God knows what an angry BF could be capable of!

For those who don't enjoy or believe in BF, please take your cynicism & intellectual snobbery elsewhere. A lot of people are having a lot of fun with PlomBear & BF & if you feel the need to take cheap shots on a subject you aren't interested in, it says more about you than the op or anyone else.

I think I'm most concerned about the accuracy of Birdie Friend's prediction of mass school closures a month before they happened - it's so specific and completely unprecedented.

Franticbutterfly · 24/03/2020 07:40

Place marking. Don’t wanna miss anything.

carriebreadshaw · 24/03/2020 07:52

Place marking - hello BF

Stifledlife · 24/03/2020 08:34

Yay! Our favourite Harbringer of Doom is back!

Elieza · 24/03/2020 08:44

Ah, nothing like a prediction of death, at the breakfast table, to cheer you up Grin

BSintolerant · 24/03/2020 17:43

@LonginesPrime Bloody hell! I’d forgotten about that. Here it is for those of you who missed it:

Birdie Friend returns!
