Random Rants
-
Why on earth do people think it is acceptable to have a phone conversation in a restaurant on speaker?
Next time it happens, Paula will have to do all she can to restrain me from going over to the ignorant twat and saying to the person at the other end. "I'm Giles. On the basis that you wanted the whole fucking restaurant to listen to your meaningless twaddle, I thought I ought to introduce myself"…..
That is appalling. I noticed when I was over that there is a lot more talking on cell phones with or without speaker, in a normal or even loud voice level around normal people. On the train from Gatwick I was entertained by the hopes and dreams of an ignorant little twat from Havant.
I’m not from Havant…

About to recover from Covid-19… I have had four jabs and haven't thought it would hit me that bad.... but it really kicked my ass. Spend almost the past week in bed or laying around... going up the stairs to the second floor is still a challenge and zero smell or tase... FUCK!

@Chap Sorry to hear that Jens. My strength/cardio took forever to return (1.5-2 months), but my symptoms were not as severe. Laura’s symptoms worried the hell out of me and I thought I would have to take her to the hospital. She slept for 20 hours on two separate days and didn’t get out of bed except once. I don’t think she would have eaten or drank anything unless I brought it to her and made sure she consumed it.
She recovered much more quickly and was back to normal in about 3 weeks.

I had a really rough time with Covid and I took the Paxlovid as soon as I tested positive. I had a rough time with the shots,so it kind of makes sense that I would have a rough time if I ever got Covid. Took about 3 months to get back to where I was before I had it.

Feel better soon. Maybe a good time for some cooking experiments, not much risk of something being inedible.

Best of luck @Chap . Feel better soon Jens….

What the actual fuck…....
_Twenty-five people have been arrested in raids across Germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government.
German reports say the group of far-right and ex-military figures planned to storm the parliament building, the Reichstag, and seize power.
A minor aristocrat described as Prince Heinrich XIII, 71, is alleged to have been central to their plans.
According to federal prosecutors, he is one of two alleged ringleaders among those arrested across 11 German states.
The plotters are said to include members of the extremist Reichsbürger [Citizens of the Reich] movement, which has long been in the sights of German police over violent attacks and racist conspiracy theories. They also refuse to recognise the modern German state.
An estimated 50 men and women are alleged to have been part of the group, said to have plotted to overthrow the republic and replace it with a new state modelled on the Germany of 1871 - an empire called the Second Reich._
