Westminstenders: Run Forrest Run

[RedToothBrush]

Need i say more?

"conversation"

I tried to leave this conversion on Saturday.

This is genuinely puzzling and weird.

No one is obliged to read or post on this thread, you can leave the conversation at any time, unless you have some sort of work contract obliging you to post shit on this particular bit of the Internet.

The gatherings inside homes is really tricky to deal with as to be really effective would probably lead to charges of profiling - as there is a very common pattern around the country sadly.

No - but if I'm sent @clavinova messages I do tend to read them.

squid 💜💜💜💜💜 take a break, but do come back and continue being awesome. Thank you 😊

I don't engage anymore with our leaver/brexshitter "visitors"🐿🐿🐿🐿

I find life far more pleasant that way :)

I have deleted my fb account and twitter...think how much more I will get done!! (Hahahaha....I'll just read a book)

Talking of books (which I realise only I am...) I really recommend the following;
An instance of the fingerpost
The Marlowe papers
The silk road

yoikes
I'm not a book person
but the later pages of the Economist each week - obscure world news - keep me sane

@Clavinova

borntobequiet I thought you were bullying me - I tried to leave this conversion on Saturday.

Goodness. Off you go then. You really don’t have to come back, you know - toodle pip, fare thee well, goodbyeeee. Etc. We’ll miss you but we’ll be OK, don’t worry.

I'm not really sure why she did post about me this evening - she didn't post in the previous discussion and I didn't mention her.

toodle pip, fare thee well, goodbyeeee. Etc.

I'm not that easily intimidated - although Westminstenders has become less interesting recently - hence my absence.

?

Oh well, never mind. We’ll survive.

yoikes have you watched the latest Strike adaptation? Tom Burke v tasty. I'm excited about the next book coming out in two weeks too.

I got myself hooked on a site that offers you free books to read in exchange for reviews too, and I'm drowning in new material. Not sure if there's much non fiction Economist style stuff for LQ but I've had a lot of fun with the novels on offer.

Glasgow back to bans on meeting other households indoors from tonight. I'm a bit nervous that it's going to end up being the rest of the central belt too. My in-laws have only just been willing to come indoors and sit at the other end of the lounge from us, and with winter coming on I was hoping we could continue that.

Squid you are so very valued here. Take a break if you need to. I admit I skip certain posters. I have a little trick if I'm relatively up to date on the thread. I use the "find in page" function in my browser to search for the word "Today" with a space after it. Then I just click next to go through each one, and click right past poster names who I don't care to read from.

Brexit
In the 100 page customs clearance document is the mother of all loopholes for companies like Amazon ....
do you remember the old £18 channel islands trick
now its £135

Then again the cash controls on Brits going in and out of the EU is a leap back to the 1970's

I really wonder how many people comprehend what they voted for in December

But our visitors are so interesting! Why is Clav clearing off right now? (If she actually is.). It’s really nothing to do with what I’ve said, which is trivial in the extreme. Unless she’s lost the power to C&P, which would be sad :(

Its a shame that there is nobody Pro Brexit left on these threads
Clav does not count because she just stirs all over the place
as I'd like to know what they think about the Northern Ireland rules and the Kent rules
and whether its what they thought getting rid of red tape meant

Louise is still around and she was very gracious when I got her mixed up with Clavinova who I won’t @ and summon because it’s bullying.

I love An Instance of the Fingerpost

I read it years ago - took me a while to get into it, but once I did I thought it was brilliant. I'm forever raving about it to friends; most recently to dh as he is currently enjoying C J Samson's Dissolution (he's previously read A Winter in Madrid and loved it).

Sorry to here about the new lockdown prettybird it’s a bit rubbish when other places are out of it. I live close enough to the city of Leicester that I’m still in lockdown. At least my mum and dad got to see their new dgd (my niece) over the weekend for only the second time in 6 months.

pretty you are the only other person I know who has read it!!
I read it years ago on a trip to New York...couldn't put it down!
Have you read any of his other stuff?

I loved the Marlowe papers....really original I thought

I'm a philistine - the only I fiction I -re re re- read is Jane Austen, Nevil Shute, MM Kaye and a bit of Bronte

I've always been a news hound and am much happier with newspapers, then teletext and now the web and magazines

My problem at the moment is finding a daily news site with decent analysis
hence why my Linkedin feed picks up some of the most interesting topics

The far pavilions!!!!?

Yoikes I prefer Shadow of the Moon Trade Wind is interesting but dated but Zanzibar made sense when I went there after reading it.

I'll read pretty much anything....fiction, non fiction...but I will not read chick lit nor anything by Jeremy Clarkson or similar "straight talking" fuckwit.

Love a historical biography. I'm reading about the Emperor Constantine atm. Jury's not in yet but he seems a bit of a mummy's boy to me....
