Leaving the nation hanging around for his words of wisdom is not going to boost his popularity.

@Cwenthryth
BBC1 HD is showing the steel band ident, I’m having a little jiggle around whilst refilling my glass

😂 Oh fuck me they've gone to the weather.

DH has gone to finish putting a roller blind up for me!

@Puffykins it's the homeschooling of my own kids I won't cope with! I'd much rather be teaching my own class all week as they actually listen to me 🤣

@LesLavandes

Oh do shut up you lot.

I think we know the general rules which we will be told soon enough.

Of course they are not watching the rugby, You sound ridiculous

Ah must have missed the memo of "you have to comment on threads if you click on - just clicking off like a normal person is NOT ACCEPTABLE"

There are some hilarious comments on this thread that are lightening the mood. What do you gain from your patronising comments?

Looking as if he's going to go into Strictly Time just 45 minutes now until the first live show.

mynameiscalypso · 31/10/2020 18:27

The most annoying thing is that DS is in isolation until Thursday so we can't even have one last hurrah out. Well, technically DH and I could but he's probably a bit young to fend for himself (14 months).

hazlitt.net/feature/portentous-composition-swan-lakes-place-soviet-politics

“Swan Lake was so often the backdrop for Soviet political upheaval that seeing it on television became a tip-off that all was not well in Moscow. In August 1991, Ross writes, when a group of communist hard-liners attempted to overthrow Mikhail Gorbachev’s government, television programs again were interrupted; for days, the only thing on state TV was a continuous loop of Swan Lake. Sergei Filatov, a member of the Russian legislature, was on vacation at the time. “I turned on the TV and saw the swans dancing,” Filatov told the Moscow Times. “For five minutes, ten, for an hour. Then I realized that something had happened.” He immediately got on a flight to Moscow, where he played an important role defending the city against the attempted takeover. (One of the leaders of the coup, Vasily Starodubtsev, later admitted that the broadcast was a strategic error.)”

@myname aw hope your little one is better soon. What a shame xxxx

the80sweregreat · 31/10/2020 18:28

The cat is out!

nibdedibble · 31/10/2020 18:28

God I hate them so much. They play so fast and loose with our mental health and I don’t think any one of them can even comprehend that.

Just have the balls to do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done (ie weeks ago) and if you think that’ll play badly, show some leadership and tell people why it needs doing. Ffs.

They are beyond bad at governing.

yeOldeTrout · 31/10/2020 18:29

Black doors with #10 on them are so exciting.... (not)
October is too early to wear a poppy.

TiersOfAClown · 31/10/2020 18:29

Good news: by the time Boris gets his arse out to speak, it'll just be 3 weeks left of lockdown 2!

WhiteChocTwix · 31/10/2020 18:29

Is it my eyesight or do they have a couple of token Halloween spiders outsider number 10 with the cat??

PumpkinLove · 31/10/2020 18:29

As long as Deliveroo is still open we'll be ok

WingingItSince1973 · 31/10/2020 18:29

@the80sweregreat just noticed that too 🤣🤣🤣

SunshineOutdoors · 31/10/2020 18:29

Ffs when are they going to start?

BlackboardMonitorVimes · 31/10/2020 18:29

Thank goodness someone sensible is there, the chief mouser was very much out and in charge.

LesLavandes · 31/10/2020 18:29

SaltandPepper - what the fuck are you trying to say????

littlefireseverywhere · 31/10/2020 18:30

Come the fuck on Boris you twat. Forget the facepainting and cope with whatever costume you've got on. I'm going for a pumpkin or the Monster in Addams family ( forget his name).

Legoandloldolls · 31/10/2020 18:30

I wish he would just say anything. Like things will be announced on Monday FFS

I hate not knowing

lingle · 31/10/2020 18:30

“We think it will happen within the next 15minutes”

Sounds a bit Carry On Film to me

middleager · 31/10/2020 18:30

Even the cat's bored.
They are saying 15 mins now.

Cwenthryth · 31/10/2020 18:31

D’you think they look on MN ever, as a temperature check on the national mood? “Oh, the vipers are wondering whether we’re dressing as witches or pumpkins”

Why do we have a live cam of No.10s door? To show how much darker it’s got since we started waiting?

Hint then that something big has changed in the last hour?

herecomesthsun · 31/10/2020 18:31

Was the cat there deputising for Boris do you think?
