So by covid rules if you had someone else who wasn't from your household round to visit that would all ready be two households and the landlords couldn't come in.

I knew a guy who wanted to be your landlord. Total chancer scumbag, he would go around older people living by themselves. He himself was pushing near 70 himself. He would offer to do any small tasks for them, then when inside would offer to buy the house from them saying they could live there rent free for the rest of their lives. As long as the house was signed over to him. It wasn't that he could afford to buy them either. No one took up his gracious offer to see what would happen.

The BBC are trying to blame the host broadcaster for trying to get footage of Christian Eriksen being almost dead on a football pitch, rather than admitting that they could have cut away to the studio or literally anything else if they weren't massive loving ghouls.

Wishing him a speedy recovery and not too big a fine for having to miss press commitments (unless that's only a tennis law).

Its a shame about Stobart. After Glasgow Prestwick closed a few years ago, I had to rely on flying Stobart Air to get over to Glasgow. By the time I'm vaccinated and able to go to Glasgow again, the country will probably be out of business.

Mebh posted:Stobart air of Eddie Stobart the trucks? The very same, although it only exists because they bought Aer Arann a few years ago. It's a shame for the folks in Donegal for sure. Coincidentally I was staying in a lovely place on the beaches 2km north of Donegal airport last week, and it's incredibly beautiful but isolated as hell without a flight option

Stormgale posted:I know the london to prestwick route shut years ago, looks like it mostly takes flights from spain now? It's apparently got less passengers through it per year than Inverness Airport which is quite funny (coz Inverness is almost exclusively domestic flights. Last I checked the only international destinations were Mallorca & Amsterdam, & Mallorca is seasonal). It's definitely a shadow of what it was once & I'm pretty sure yeah, the only passenger airline that flies from there at the moment is Ryanair. To be fair, even if you're in Ayr it's not that much of a rigmarole to get to Glasgow Airport, just jump on the Glasgow train to Paisley & get the bus. But it does still exist, barely.

There used to be a Dublin to Prestwick route that ran from Ryanair, but that closed a number of years ago. From memory, there was only a couple of routes that fly there even when Dublin used to fly in. (I think one from Warsaw to Prestwick was still in operation and that was a Ryanair one.) I honestly think that by this stage they have stopped doing passanger flights and only use it as a trade airport.

1) The English football team takes the knee for BLM. 2) The right-wing declares the English team Marxist. 3) The English public support the English team. 4) The English public therefore support Marxism. 5) Socialism.

Can I just ask in an extremely Seinfeld voice (and presumably therefore have someone explain as George Costanza) what's the deal with the Unite candidates? As far as I can tell Howard Beckett was saying the right things and pissing off the right people, apart from being slightly insane and banging on about setting up a TV channel. But Owen Jones is saying if we don't all get behind Steve Turner, who I've never heard of, the unions are finished. Also there might be a third one who's name begins with G but might be the Starmerite stooge.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Can I just ask in an extremely Seinfeld voice (and presumably therefore have someone explain as George Costanza) what's the deal with the Unite candidates? Basically Beckett went big in the media, which is a bit weird since this is essentially an internal Unite matter. But this has led a lot of people on Twitter to believe that he is the only left candidate and that anyone else is a Starmer stooge. A lot of this is because the Skwawkbox guy is on the Beckett campaign. Turner won the most nominations and has the backing of Unite’s left faction, and is a not unreasonable choice for a left candidate. If the left cannot get behind a single candidate though, whichever one of the three it is, Coyne will almost certainly win and the left will lose Unite which would be an absolute disaster.
