Take your shaming and your doom and gloom somewhere else.

The spoof article about "woman who didn't clap being burned at stake" is also from this week's Eye, btw. Smile

So sorry, pass the whip.

Some dick is playing war songs on the trumpet in their garden to rapturous applause from the neighbours. My son plays the trumpet, might send him out to compete. Wink

The Higgidy quiches are nice if you wanted to buy one. Grin

What’s a war song?

Oh yes within 2 minutes of me being demented, my neighbour put a massive PA in his front garden and we've all been deafened by Wartime Radio for the last 53 minutes, and counting. Why why why.

TinRoofRusty · 08/05/2020 15:09

Yeah, I just freeze them whole. They look funny when defrosted but are just fine, probably full of salmonella and botulism and e.coli, but I'm a murderer and thus impervious to such ills. I have a load of eggs, too, as a friend who has chickens trades them with me. She handed some to me over her front fence. I'm going to put them in the kindness box/phone box, though, as because she did that she and I will probably be dead by Monday.

I need to get off to go spree killing for a two hour walk. On the way I'm going to insult all those working 'on the frontlines' by breathing.

Then I'm going to drink a lot of non-essential wine after dinner. Might even cadge one of DH's rollies, what the hell, I'm going to die soon anyhow and go to hell for murder.

MagdaS · 08/05/2020 15:10

Alsohuman We'll Meet Again, It's a Long Way to Tipperary and You'll Never Walk Alone, so far.

The last one didn't meet such rapturous applause, given most people round here are not greatly fond of Liverpool FC. Grin

Coronavirus: PCC urges neighbours not to 'snitch'
Anthony Stansfeld said he did not want the situation to become like "George Orwell's 1984"

'Reasonable and friendly'

"I think people have just got to be reasonable and friendly to their neighbours and support them," he said.
"I don't think snitching to the police except in the most extreme circumstances when it's obviously necessary to do so, where real crime is being committed, then fair enough, but I would hope we don't get into that sort of society."

I’ve muted a few people on FB, though most of my friends tend to be of the “look at my banana bread” variety, rather than the “you’re all serial murderers” variety.

Anyway please enjoy this photo from my local park. I literally killed someone’s nan to take it.

Thanks Tin might try it again.
Enjoy your walk killing spree .

Drivingdownthe101 · 08/05/2020 15:13

Bloody hell, VE Day has brought out all the ‘it was worse in the war’ dementors. All we’re being asked to do is ‘stay the fuck at home’ type messages.

longearedbat · 08/05/2020 15:13

I have enjoyed reading this thread, it is very cheering and encapsulates much of what I have been thinking about so many of the covid/dementor type posts. People go off on one for all sorts of strange reasons. I think I would give bingo points for 'ffs' or even 'FFS' (caps to give more emphasis!) after a dementor point of order.
I am old, fat and have high blood pressure. I intend to enjoy the rest of my life (as far as possible), and that does not include hiding away in my house for months or years. I get really fed up with the ageist posts on MN who talk about people over 60 (or even younger sometimes) as if they are all gaga and can't make judgements for themselves. If I get coronavirus and it kills me, so be it, but I would be judged as selfish for saying this. With a dementor you can never win!

Orangeblossom78 · 08/05/2020 15:13

We are hoping to pick up fish and chips for tea tonight form a takeaway. They're doing online orders then you pick it up. It seems very busy though, only a few times left so might need to leave it to next weekend boo

Willow2017 · 08/05/2020 15:16

Orange shutting the door after the horse has bolted springs to mind😉

Lovely HavartitoMeetYou. Hope you ashamed of yourself!

Waxonwaxoff0 · 08/05/2020 15:17

Orange I was thinking fish and chips too but the wait time is crazy already. I might opt for Chinese takeaway instead, my local one opened back up this week.

Saw someone moaning about the local VE street parties on Facebook even when it was pointed out that people are just sitting in their front gardens and not mingling. "You're not supposed to be having social gatherings!"

selfisolatingsince2007 · 08/05/2020 15:19

@HavartitoMeetYou you only killed one nana? Amateur. Try smiling and laughing at something your spouse says at the park. That kills three NHS workers. That's my total today. 😈

SummerHouse · 08/05/2020 15:23

Excellent orange. Remember fish and chips and picking a relative to imagine on a ventilator night is the new popcorn and movie night.

'People not adhering to lockdown and social distancing are the people who are actually murdering those that don't have a choice but go out. And yes, I do call it murder because you know the consequences. It's not killing people accidentally, it's bloody murder'

sueelleker · 08/05/2020 15:25

i tried that before. When defrosted they looked decidedly dodgy! Do you separate them? You can whisk them before freezing.

Alsohuman · 08/05/2020 15:27

You beat me to it @DressingGownofDoom, I was just going to post that.

LOL!

I imagine them thus

Waxonwaxoff0 · 08/05/2020 15:32

So what if the people who have no choice but to go out have the virus and pass it on to others? Wouldn't that make them murderers too by that logic? Or do they get a get out of jail pass because they "have no choice"

AlexisCarringtonColbyDexter · 08/05/2020 15:33

Wouldn't that make them murderers too by that logic

Yes, which means ALL key workers are also murderers.
