My library sent me an email saying I have £14.48 to pay in fines when the library re-opens.

I sent them an email back saying "lol no"

So a care home in my area made the papers a few days ago because 17 of its residents have died, 2 confirmed of COVID-19 but the rest died before tests could be administered.

Last night they decided to hold a party outside with a free ice cream van, supported by Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Police Team and not adhering to social distancing whatsoever. They then decided to share this video on Facebook, only taking it down and making their page private when loads of people left negative comments about what a stupid loving thing it was to do.

This country.

Oh and why yes, Middlesbrough *does* have one of, if not the highest infection rate in the country :downs:

I named my night elf arched in WoW Jocasta :v:

I'm curious to find out what's wrong with names like Tarquin and Jocasta though. The associations we have attached to them because of class stereotypes is one thing, but some folks seem to get a bit visceral about perfectly cromulent names.

They're just loving stupid names

pizza burger (serves 2-4):

0. get really high and/or drunk
1. get two frozen margherita pizzas and oven for like 80% of their cooking time
2. fry 4 burgers and onions and maybe some bacon
3. take one pizza, cover in burgers, onions and maybe some bacon
4. put loads of that plastic shredded mozzarella on top
5. invert the second pizza and apply to the top of the first
6. return to oven for a few minutes
7. chop into quarters while trying not to think about the river of grease flowing across the chopping board

I wish I could find the picture of it, it was delicious

Hmm it's no Meat Ship.

My hope is that Boris does the conference, announces he has confidence in him, wraps it up and makes a swift exit.

5 minutes later we get a photo of Cummies gawping at some Durham bluebells in May.

This is what I'm hoping will happen too.

Given that he always said hello with a very enthusiastic wayeayeman I'm pretty sure he was geordie.

He was the only one that sounded like that so I assume he was an expat from like, a colony inside the tyne bridge or something, with his mam being alan shearer and his dad being a puddle of runoff from the newkie brown factory.

Mackems say wayayeman, too

They all secretly want to be Geordies anyway.

I'm from Middlesbrough as you know and when I went down to Peterborough for a backyard wrestling interfed event perfectly normal social event everyone thought I was a Geordie.
