Our neighbours have rented a beach hut down that way this week - they invited us down there for a day. She couldnāt fathom why I was not at all enthusiastic.
Let me think why
Hour and half to drive down there
Half an hour to find somewhere to park
two mile walk with all your shit to the hut
Spend four hours crammed in with a thousand wankers I would never wish to get that close to normally
When you need a piss it is either queue for hour at the public toilets or go piss in the sea, which no doubt all the other people have done already
Get burnt
get fed up
cart all your shite back to the car
spend the next hour unable to move the car because some knob head has blocked you in
Then spend the next two hours trying to get home
An interesting take on the litter issue on Bournemouth beach
āPlease do NOT clean it up. Leave it there for the people to see what they have done. I have seen some photos and videos and it is terrible. Just leave it there for visitors to enjoy. They did enjoy themselves yesterday, they can enjoy it today.ā
The trouble is people who litter donāt know they are doing it. Littering is a concept that doesnāt exist for them, they do it instinctively. I used to work part time for the City Council in the Street Cleansing Deptā¦ My job was to drive the streets and assess them for cleanliness. Where the street didnāt meet the prescribed standards Iād call out a team to clean it up.
Iāve watched people litter and they simply unwrap whatever and in the action of unwrapping end it with throwing the paper away. There is no thought about it. Thornhill Council Estate had a large dedicated team, funded by the EU for 10 years as a deprived area. I was talking to the team leader and asked him if, when the EU subsidy ends will living in a tidy environment have rubbed off on the local community. He said āNo it will go back to being a shit-holeā
I havenāt been back there for years, it was the cleanest estate in Southampton, I suspect he was right and itās a shit-hole again.
I can see the R factor rising around here. The fact that no pubs were open did not deter a mass of Liverpool FC fans from congregating in the city centre. Some wanker even managed to set fire to the Liver Building with an aimed firework. Fortunately it was quickly brought under control.
Not so sure that the same will apply for the virus.
Fucking disgusting. They should show this at the start of each Scousehampton football game to remind everyone in the world how great their fans are. Fucking shameful.
Thereās an element in society that doesnāt link what they do with the effect it has on their surroundings, you see it everywhere. It isnāt a recent phenomenon.
I get people wanting to celebrate. I donāt get why some idiotic cunt would ever think it was a good idea to launch a firework at the Liver Building.
Iāve seen some of this nonsense up close. Was in the car driving back home. The missus points out some kids waving Liverpool flags, in the back of a convertible, no seatbelts on, jumping all over the shop.
What can possibly go wrong? Hope the coppers pulled the parents.
Three people have died from methanol poisoning in the US state of New Mexico after drinking hand sanitiser, health officials say.
A further three people are in a critical condition and another has been left permanently blind.
A spokesman for the stateās health department said the cases were related to alcoholism. Hand sanitiser has a high alcohol content and can be toxic if ingested.
It comes shortly after the US Food and Drug Administration warned against buying nine sanitiser products manufactured in Mexico because they contain methanol.
Thatās not as uncommon as youād think, it happens over here occasionally. My ex was a nurse, sheās observed hardened alkies draining the hand sanitisers while theyāve been stuck in hospital for treatment. I suggested to her that a little bar near the hepatic unit would absolutely clean up. Doubly so if we could have secured the rights for a fag machine by the thoracic department.
