Fire Brigade's advice to stay put during the Grenfell fire ran counter to basic common sense - which it obviously did.
Will Labour set fire to another block of flats during this election campaign, I wonder? After all, it worked well for them last time.
Good Lord,b
Same thought mere moments apart
.....fools seldom differ and whatnot
Yes. You left out the bit about how Jeremy Corbyn is definitely going to set fire to a tower block full of brown people in the next few weeks for some reason, though.Quote:

I take it you cancelled the barbecue on grounds of insensitivity?Quote:

Tom Petty - now there's underrated.
That's a decent call, actually.Quote:

Meanwhile, I was picturing myself more in a Jungleland scenario.
The Rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
Over the Jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance
And disappear down Flamingo Lane
Did you say you were moving out east, b? Norfolk, is it? I like it out there. Big skies.Quote:
