And Then, A Fitting Song...

My little nest of vipers needed{?} some fresh greens today so Off we went. Having got wot she wanted, we took a slightly meandering drive back home to see how that stay at home dictate was working out and I have to say it was scarily quiet with the shutters down on the majority of shops from small to big.  Compared to any other time it was very much like driving through a...

And two, looking at the scattered formation of the queue, in a few weeks/days when the army are patrolling ready to eliminate any gathering of more than two folk, because of the spacing requirement, thus the loose formation of the queue, it could well be mistaken as an illegal gathering and thus get summarily mown down.

Bringing up the rear is an interesting read over at The Slog. well worth a look.

Ripper,
I'll definitely put that choon up tonight.
As for Bill Cosby, sadly, yes. And more sadly, way back in the day, before 'revelations' became all the rage, Cosby did some very funny stand-up stuff.
