@CuriousaboutSamphire

Currently the BBC has it scheduled 16.50 - 18.00
So lets place a bet on the exact time the first word is spoken?

18.09

At least they've stuck him after Worzel so he doesn't look so dishevled.

Aliens or Zombie Apocalypse.

At this stage a zombie apocalypse would be quite the relief.

A change is as good as a rest? Grin

Shall not make the same mistake as last press conference I watched- settled down and poured my first glass of wine when it was due to start and was completely shit faced by the time Boris actually started to speak.

We can rename then as Sovereignity Sprouts.

ScienceSensibility · 21/12/2020 15:37

@nosswith

A start would be for the press conference to begin on time.

The best thing would be for it to be two words, 'I resign'.

The French have said they are working to establish a protocol to resume crossings, so any thought of fewer things being available on the shelves may be premature.

I still support the idea of Her Majesty the Queen dismissing Mr Johnson using the Royal Prerogative. I am confident there are many better Tories who could run the country.

Yes please.

Come on, Your Majesty. The nation needs you!

It’s a 5, this was said in the announcement.

It’s probably to clarify Matt Handcock saying tier 4 stands until we have the vaccine.

How can they u turn and say it's not a mutant strain? Would anyone believe them ?
ThePlantsitter · 21/12/2020 15:46

To say 'stop panic buying'? Yeah great idea - those who weren't panic buying will be like 'why are we panic buying? Should I panic buy?'

Don't call people muppets when they are just trying to take control over their lives in horrible unpredictable times (and no, I don't panic buy, I prepare). Just trying to look out for their families because the government hasn't and won't.

Bellieberg · 21/12/2020 15:47

To announce that bright side they've gotten Brexit done?

No-one is allowed to come in from overseas wants anything to do with us now so effectively they have, no?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 21/12/2020 15:47

I can knock up an illegal still if you can get the corn

Ruddy amateurs ... the last lot I knew who did this had a still in the cellar and made poitin from potatoes Grin

At the risk of offending someone although I’m past caring.

If you have an Alexa, ask her ‘What is Boris Johnson carrot 100 in Welsh?
Just make sure you don’t have any small children or easily offended adults within earshot.

I don’t have Alexa so I tried google translate. The way the Welsh robot bloke on there says it is hilarious.
MrsWhites · 21/12/2020 15:54

Can’t be about schools not opening - no way are they organised enough to give us 2 weeks notice. They’ll announce that on 2nd Jan!
