â Earlier this month Mars Wrigley said it was removing Bounty bars from some tubs because 40% of people hated the coconut-flavoured treat.â
What about the 60% who like them. Fucking pandering to minorities
Depends on how seriously you want to take a simple (and very old) pun in response to yours⊠I was not taking it that seriously
Flying to NY, sailing down to the Caribbean, back to NY then flying back
When you say sailing - a three masted schooner or a covid hutch?
Just to put a damper on things, weâre actually spending Christmas caring for our grandson who has Dravetâs Syndrome (severe epilepsy) to give his parents respite.
Weâre fortunate to have many wonderful experiences and sometimes you need to give back.
And an unashamed reminder that Iâm always fundraising for Epilepsy research, this year as my Mayorâs Charity. If anyone is feeling generous, you can help through this link.
Very kind but Iâm not asking for that
Will save me a job sorting my just giving page out
An old tea chest, a bamboo cane and a pair of my mums big bloomers. Should give us enough of a float down to Barbados.
In my experience those bloomers have had their fair share of stormy winds too, so we should be OK even if there is a tropical weather event!
This is my grandson Seb. His sister won the Societyâs Sibling of the Year Award for alerting her parents to Sebâs seizures, coping with the family disruption and always helping
Thatâs good work youâre doing there.
My sister has epilepsy. She used to suffer with multiple seizures daily, getting worse as she got older. She opted for the risky operation where they deal directly with the troubled part of the brain.
She suffered with significant paralysis and was unable to speak or do anything for herself for about 6 months, but eventually she has recovered. No seizures anymore, but she does have a little cognitive confusion at times now and her tolerance isnât quite what it used to be.
So much better than the alternative however!
Her biggest positive from the whole thing though is an actual picture the surgeon took of the top of her brain when they opened her up! Itâs pretty surrealâŠ
Too late, Sotonians is about giving to charidee. He sweepstake winner will still get the ÂŁ80, the rest goes to your charityâŠ
Oh well, in that case it will pay for me to get back for a Saints game & meet you lot in the Pub beforehand
And Charidee
How seriously can I take it?
I need some options here.
Are we talking âsitting outside your house, watching you come and go?â. A letter to oneâs MP? King Herod at Christmas?
The Ayatollah is not taking my Christmas list seriously
Yeah, but a case?
