@AutumnLeafy

Do we always get one on a Wednesday or is this an extra bonus one? Hopefully apologising for the massive mess up in testing in the southwest and explaining what they are going to do to bring numbers back down.
We haven’t had one for ages.

@TheFairyCaravan

Stop calling him Boris. He’s not your mate. You wouldn’t have said “there’s a press conference with Dave” or “there’s a press conference with Theresa” would you?
I probably would have if Theresa had been in charge during the pandemic and kept popping up on our screens so often tbh. "Dave" was just a non descript politician so probably not.

*We haven’t had one for ages.
Thanks. I stopped watching them after a while as I was getting depressed.

GhostTypeEevee · 20/10/2021 12:45

If Theresa or Dave were PM I would call them Theresa or Dave. Nothing to do with seeing Boris as my mate; he makes my skin crawl Confused

PurpleDaisies · 20/10/2021 12:46

“Boris” is the nicest way I would refer to that utter wanker.

What should we call him..? 🤷🏻‍♀️[/quote]
Something unrepeatable.

Horst · 20/10/2021 12:48

The overweight dude with the blonde mop? That pm guy? Mr Johnson nah sorry can’t do that one 🤣

I’ll stick with Boris we all know who it is.

Call him the Prime Minister or Boris Johnson.

SingingGoldfinch · 20/10/2021 12:49

It'a Sajid Javid not Boris - and I think they had to do it given this morning's statement by NHS Confederation. I reckon it'll be a warning shot - and urge people to take up boosters (assuming that's possible) and 12-15 vaccinations or risk 'Plan B' being enforced.

PurpleDaisies · 20/10/2021 12:49

Call him the Prime Minister or Boris Johnson.

You’re welcome to refer to him as that. I’ll call him boris. Ta.

MarshaBradyo · 20/10/2021 12:51

As it’s Javid maybe get boosters

MaxiMini · 20/10/2021 12:51

Maybe news about the second jab for over 12s?

Ghoulette · 20/10/2021 12:53

It's with David and is about Covid boosters, the BBC are saying.

LittleMo234 · 20/10/2021 12:53

BBC is reporting that Sajid Javid is expected to discuss booster jabs for winter

MarshaBradyo · 20/10/2021 12:55

Ooh guessed it

Just be happy for them to get the first jab!
PurpleDaisies · 20/10/2021 12:56

Who is David?

Etinoxaurus · 20/10/2021 12:56

@whenwillthemadnessend

Just sore ear in faith advice about masks boosters kids vaccine etc.

But I predict in a fortnight it will all be law again and vaccine passports rolled out.

Is sore ear in faith a misprint or turn of phrase. I love it!
3luckystars · 20/10/2021 12:57

Spinning.

PurpleDaisies · 20/10/2021 12:57

Second jabs for teens would come from the jcvi/CMOs

AutumnLeafy · 20/10/2021 12:58

@PurpleDaisies

Who is David?
Dave Cameron I'm guessing
PurpleDaisies · 20/10/2021 12:58

David Cameron is not doing the press conference today

@TheFairyCaravan

Stop calling him Boris. He’s not your mate. You wouldn’t have said “there’s a press conference with Dave” or “there’s a press conference with Theresa” would you?
Flipping heck, you’ve got a charmed life if this is something that bothers you!

And yes, I’d have used Dave, Theresa, Tony etc - it’s generally more polite than what I’d like to have called most of them.

LadyWithLapdog · 20/10/2021 12:58

@Fallagain

Wear a mask but it’s voluntary and I won’t make is compulsory.
Good summary

Distinctive first names allow us to omit the second name without causing confusion.

Who else do you know called Boris who would call a press conference?
Who else do you know called Delia who would write a cookery book? Or Nigella for that matter.
Ant & Dec are identifiable without the use of their surnames.

What's the problem?
