Given all the excitement to sell camper vans like hotcakes, upgrading your campsite to include glamping I wonder whether Butlins Filey will reopen?

Given I truly thought it was going to rain this morning and considered that shorts and a tee-shirt might not be a good idea as it was slightly cool.

So I went to the ASDA in Cannock at lunchtime, and I'd say 85 - 90% of the people were wearing masks; the remainder were clearly in the "I don't fooking have to wear one anymore, and you can't make me!" group. #LeSigh #Covid19UK #COVID

IMO we scored far too early because England then played how they always play: "Let's just stop the other team scoring." the only time things picked up was when Jack Grealish came on.

England better win on Sunday night because it's starting to get silly in the UK.
Some schools have said pupils can come in late on Monday after watching the match.
Supermarkets are closing early so staff can watch the match.
The wife's work phoned and said she can come in late to watch the match.
There's a cry to have a snap Bank Holiday if we win the match.

That moment when you blow the dust off your Pi cluster. Rebuild the Docker Swarm from scratch, then actually bother to look at the hardware requirements, and it says: "Minimum of 20GB of RAM, and at least 400GB of fast local storage." Oops! I don't think 2.77GB of memory and a 32GB USB is gonna cut it? #HiveNode #clusterhat #raspberrypi

So with the announcement that social distancing rules will probably be lifted in the UK on the 19th of July, I await the Internet experts (mainly Twitter) to start telling us all how wrong it is and that the Government is cynically killing people while having spent the last 12 months telling us the Government is abusing our human rights by closing everything down.

So the statement still stands. They are sat in their towers counting their money, and yet the so-called 'downtrodden' are still here. There was probably two Roman Legionnaires moaning on Hadrian's wall "That fooking Nero and his cronies........."

Hands up all those who remember people walking around shouting at the top of their voice into their mobile phone? Not because the recipient couldn't hear but to ensure you looked and saw they had a mobile phone. Encryption is pretty much the same. 90% of the population doesn't need it, but if you want to look like Billy-Big-Bollocks, you let everyone know you use it.
