It was 11 weeks between my mums first and second. 

Cheers for that. I got the German Pfizer jab and the effects are wearing off I reckon.  I’ve now stopped wearing lederhosen and listening to Kraftwerk.

Actually spiced things up a bit😉. I also reckon I would now probably miss in a penalty shoot out.

Great news, as a matter of interest what was the time gap between your first and second jab? It’s been 8 weeks since I had the first and still waiting for the second. 

Mine was 6 weeks too.

Hello Losing my hair,

I'm afraid that I cannot stop the juggernaut that has been set in motion by your post above. There's a saying that goes 'This is going to hurt me more than it will you'. I never really understood it until now. That's actually a lie. Only it's not a lie. So, where's the truth 'lie' I wonder? 

Anyway, I'd better press on hastily, before you (and everybody else reading this) loses the very will to live. The thing is, and in connection with your post, I'm afraid there's this;

I've got a mate who used to wear lederhosen for parties. Mind you, they were fancy dress parties. I have another mate who wears the full Scout Master regalia every now and again at any kind of party.

As an aside (and decades ago now) one of my brothers invited me to a fancy dress party on a Saturday night. So, I turned up looking as best I could like Rupert The Bear. As I entered the house I realised everybody else was wearing normal attire. I asked my brother what the fuck was going on. His response was along the lines of 'Oh, the fancy dress element was cancelled. I must have forgotten to tell you'. You can imagine just how funny I found that situation!

It got worse. I partied all night at the party and then left there the next morning with another one of my brothers. On our way back towards getting an appropriate bus back to where we lived we happened to be passing a Roman Catholic church. Now, at that time, we both felt that we had to go to mass everyday, so my other elder brother decided that 'we' must go in, as there was a mass about to start. Being in the pissed up state that I was in, I went into church. Lord knows (gettit) what people must have thought of when they saw a fairly crap looking Rupert The Bear enter the church and sit down. By the way - my head wasn't made up like Rupert the Bear, so that was in my favour.

Just got back from watching my grandson play football, his team's first game since lockdown. They lost 8-0 but enjoyed themselves anyway.

Crikey it was cold - where's spring gone?

whilst i am no expert in the fields of either fire or brimstone... i would imagine that turning up at a RC sunday mass, pissed in a poorly put together fancy dress costume, where the only recognisable part of you is your head, would be distinctly against your favour...

You got it. By the way I failed to mention that the mass was at The Oratory Birmingham. This is the church where 'posh' Roman Catholics go to mass;

I reckon I'll have tested their faith that day!

I know it differs around the country. I got a text from my doctors surgery with a link to the booking page. Then we have a choice of days/times. The first one was 15 mins after the text came in!

It didn't even register with me that the National was on. This has been the case for several years now. Saved myself a decent sum of money in the process of forgetting.
