    Current plan for the evening: play Red Dead Redemption 2 and eat M&Ms. Maybe fiddle with my PotP Pretender.

    I've got to say, I ordered a few bits from Smyths during lockdown for home delivery and they nailed it. If they become available online I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Items were packed well and arrived within one working day of order - only thing I wasn't keen on was they used Hermes !

    Sounds like a great plan.
    Currently keeping my puppy calm whilst fireworks go off round the neighbourhood.

    I wish you the best of luck, I know a few dogs in my area have already gone missing this week because of them.

    as for the Thew review... as the young folk call it, a “big oof.” Can’t abide by those loose feet and horrible stickers. May just get Hun-Gurrr instead to scratch that PotP itch.

    Watched JoJo Rabbit today. I literally knew nothing about it other than the director. Amazing film and well worth a watch if y'all bored waiting for our PM to actually make a decision.

    My boys are barking because they're used to informing me about things (usually that someone's at the door), but with the Labrador having a bark like a shotgun and the pug being 'short man syndrome'... Urgh.

    I'd have fireworks banned altogether unless there's a cast iron guarantee they won't end up in the hands of dickheads.

    I'm based in the South East so can breath a little easier, but look at that Northern band, Primus help them. :( 
    All my side of the family are in South Yorkshire - they are still trying to work out how to have Christmas together? FFS!

    This is a sensible approach and the way to structure shielding of the vulnerable long term.

    It's a short broader national lockdown and then as we come out of it, presume that the instruction will be for the vulnerable to stay in a safe lockdown with shielding going forward until a vaccine.

    This acts as the circuit breaker with a better long term solution.

    He’s finally settled down, during the Prime Ministers press conference of all things.
    But yeah fireworks can get in the sea, they start setting them off now and keep going until New Year’s Day.

    So you just need Boris on a loop to calm the nerves? Who knew?

    Edit: or was it the slides? Stats aren't for everyone!

    Love a good info slide and my partner is always happy with a nice spreadsheet or two.
    Well the first lockdown got me back into collecting Transformers and it’s not going to stop me continuing.
    However it does look like we’ll be using the Smyths home delivery service as soon as Bee and Elita arrive.

    All this talk about Circuit Breaker in the news and it's nothing to do with Transformers = 2020 really DOES suck! :D

    'Twas the night before Life Day, when all through Kashyyyk
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a Reek.
    The blasters were hung by the dejarik board with care,
    In hopes that St Wookiee-las soon would be there.
