The last last post

How was I to know Sackers would come out with a post when some of us were getting ready for bed?  But it’s a post which certainly needs to be seen all the same:

Now the West is claiming that despite Wuhan’s top-level safety rating - the same as for the UK’s Porton Down - Covid was another lab leak. That is worrying, for as the Telegraph and Mail have reported, Imperial College conducted ‘gain of function’ research on the Covid virus last year in a lower, level 3 setting. Are our boffins definitely more safety-conscious, less fallible than the Chinese? They were combining elements of the original disease - one that is estimated to have killed 6.8 million people worldwide so far - with those of Delta and Omicron variants. What were they hoping to achieve? What if they had succeeded in breeding a new strain that was as transmissible as WuFlu but far more lethal? Was that the intention?

b.  Seaside

Now chaps (and our gals), I’m too knackered to get into all the cutting and pasting of Posey Parker and all the rest … early tomorow, ok?

However, I was listening to a seaside song from my yoofhood:

… and it struck me that my American friends’ childhoods were radically different to here, even middle of the country versus the seaside over there.  I had two different yoofhoods … one English, one Oz … and the Oz had a lot of American to it.

For example, my parents’ friends had a Chriscraft and so we were towed on skis and skiffle boards.  Broad beaches, piers, no actual boardwalks.

The English seaside was different … boulevard, low stone wall between the path and sand or pebbles.  Not much beach to speak of. Donkey rides. Other side of the road … shops and arcades … pinball, games etc.  Sweet shops, rock, chish ’n fips.  Different feel. Never went to Butlin’s, would have been awful.

c.  Pre-Wednesday

Just watching Posey P … she was right, then about 11 minutes, Kissin started getting weird.  The man started going bizarre … what is wrong with these people?  Stopped watching, not coz of her … she was fine … it was those two males.
