Couldn't it have waited for Sunday to emerge?

Love this. Yes we're fed up with Lancashire faffing on with the Indian variant so we're doing it proper. God's Own Variant. Thankfully it won't spread as we don't see a need to leave the county anyway.

@profpoopsnagle

Thank goodness. A Proper Variant.
It'll be stronger, friendlier and cheaper than all the others put together.
dementedma · 21/05/2021 14:38

Just braced up here for our very own Scottish variant....

@MRex

Only 49 cases, we'll batter it!
And fry it in proper beef dripping, none of that vegetable oil shite.

Had to Google to see if this is true or not, because I thought it was going to be a joke of some kind.

The Yorkshire VET should be called, he can sort everything out, he knows all about viruses,in animals And humans.

“Do you reckon it's safe for us from North of the border to associate with those South of the border into Nottinghamshire this weekend?!?”

@WilyKitWilyKat

No wonder it had to mutate. My granddad was from Barnsley and he saw off TB with a pint of bitter every evening and no days off work.
Haha

Lincolnshire variant - recognised by the symptom of a yellow belly .....

j712adrian · 21/05/2021 14:48

Ah, the Yorkshire Variant which causes a sticky feeling in the pocket, thus making the extraction of your purse/wallet from it virtually impossible.

Tragic.

@Babdoc

Interestingly, most variants infect people through the nose or eyes. But the Yorkshire variant gets in bah gum. One will fetch one’s coat… Grin
👏🏻 Awesome.

There will be a war of the varients before we know it.
MRex · 21/05/2021 15:05

They need to take the flat caps off those syringes and get vaccinating!

babbaloushka · 21/05/2021 15:08

Nae bother, me Da's got his stick ready in case't gets cross t'border. This uns our la!

babbaloushka · 21/05/2021 15:08

I've heard one of the Grikes at Ilkely slithered out the cracks and bit a Wooly.

In t'beginning there was nowt but God's own variant

No idea why a Yorkshire variant seems like a joke[I am sure it isnt] when a Kent variant seemed quite reasonable.

It just tickles me that Yorkshire have their own varient 🤣🤣,the Lancashire one will be better of course 😂

I reckon it's a ruse to stop anymore offcumdens moving to Hebden Bridge

Couchbettato · 21/05/2021 15:25

@WilyKitWilyKat us Barnsley folk are a special kind of folk. There's nothing a good pint won't fix.

Girlmama3 · 21/05/2021 15:30

Nothing a proper brew can't sort out ☕️

AfternoonToffee · 21/05/2021 15:36

This one will be of pure perfection. Bravo Yorkshire, Bravo.

TheQueef · 21/05/2021 15:39

We like to have our own.
For this variant you will need your big coat.

NotBot · 21/05/2021 15:49
