6. Phil the Greek has died
Saw it at 12:47. If anyone would like to do an obit, go ahead, we'll run it here, for or against. I'm saying nothing whatever about him one way or the other, beyond saying it was a pity he could not make the big 100 and get a telegram from the Queen.

Just got back, not a lot to report - all religiously wearing masks for they know not what reason, there's certainly no science behind them. Rand Paul:
Wearing a mask outside is senseless and not supported by any science

I had to wear it at one point while trying to get to the cheese [yep] and there were store people everywhere - that was my decision to protect the ladies, started coughing uncontrollably, had to get out of range down the aisle, took it down and was fine after about a minute.
Played it safe - went to the man cashier, therefore no issues, got back all right, that was about it except for the post. Cod and chips for dins later.
Wearing a mask inside is supported only by flimsy science. And flimsy science ain't science.
ReplyDeleteFish pie for dinner. Last night was steak and kidney pie: dear God the village lassies bake good pies.

ReplyDelete6. Phil the Greek has died
First occasion I met him was a massive Army Cadet parade in Chichester, circa 1970. He walked straight past me and spoke to my mate. I'm not one to hold a grudge but a packet of five Woodbines won't stretch to six. Anyroad..

I would think many people have memories of meeting the Duke of Edinburgh. Mine was in the mid 60's in Singapore during the Malaysian/Indonesian conflict and Phil wad visiting our Air Despatch Squadron. Six of us, including the Troop Cpl clerk, were selected to line up and be presented to him in case he wished to ask us questions. Of course, he stopped at the clerk and asked about loads and methods of despatch from the planes. The quick thinking clerk spoke complete bollocks for about a minute, while we were trying not to laugh at the horrified look on the face of the Troop Commander.

ReplyDeleteSt. Peter at the Pearly Gates should ask him the same question he's been asking those picked out to be met and greeted "And what do YOU do?"
ReplyDeleteAssuming that that's where he's headed.
Name the next virus mutant in his honour.

I don't think that's where the old bastard will be going. Good riddance.

DeleteHe would have been thoroughly peed off that Gardener's World has been cancelled on his account, to paraphrase his comment to a photographer in 2015 he would have said to the sycophants at the BBC, "get on with the f***ing programmes."
