Here we go again, the press have nothing accurate to report and so they make up headlines to try and shock people. Can you imagine why they should ask Juergen Klopp the Manager of Liverpool what he thinks of the Corona Virus and his reply to the various reporters during the past week has been classic intelligence. He says he is just a football manager and no expert on medical matters. You might as well ask the UK Chief Medical Officer should Liverpool play a 4-3-3 and should they rest Salah. They also tried to ask both Piers Morgan and also Mr Brexit himself Mr Nigel Farage and they both distanced themselves from the subject and they are not medical experts.
Have also seen this morning that Prince Harry was made to look a ‘charlie’ with a pretend phone call from Swedish ECO Activist Greta Thunberg, this apparently was on two occasions. What makes people do this???. Harmless jokes can be OK as once in my early years we had rather a silly guy on our booking office that when approached by the London Zoo a certain Mr Wolf, that they had a large snake to ship out he asked what size was it and they answered laid flat out out or rolled up?? NO harm but just a bit of fun, but this stuff with Harry is a bit much. Perhaps they should contact the Grand Old Duke of York and pretend to be his ex girlfriend whom he allegedly met in the Caribbean on several occasions? now that would be an interesting phone call.
Have just seen the budget basic information, looks like a man with no arms chucking money about. Good to see the large investment in Weybridge at the Government Research Centre which actually is in Addlestone, but Weybridge sounds so much nicer..
Life carries on pretty much the same each day with time spent swimming, blogging, reading and swimming with the occasional shopping. Food prices here are quite low although eating out can get expensive as they put recommended tipping amounts on the bill of 17.5%-20%-22.5% which compared the miserly approx. 10% in London. Quite frankly we don't care if we do not eat out as we can easily enjoy good quality home cooked food following our various Costco raids. We bought four huge steaks in Costco Sarasota a couple of weeks ago and each steak would and does feed three people and the pack of four was US$ 38.00.
Having watched Chelsea whip Liverpool and Everton recently and then see Tottenham play like they had no interest in winning was quite poor.
The Noel Groves biography is coming along quite slowly and I try to spend about an hour a day on it but as you go along you keep remembering bits that you did not include or that you might have even forgotten. I am up to 1985 now and about 60 pages, I am beginning to think its going to take until the end of this year to finish.
Most airlines are reducing the number of flights and even Virgin was reportedly flying empty rather than lose their airport slots, how silly is this?. We are due to fly out on the evening of the 31st March back to London Gatwick and are expecting to here at some time in the near future about possible flight changes. Lets hope our airline does not go bust in the meantime.
Well that's it for today the pool beckons'.
