    Preparing by storing some extra supplies now is the exact opposite of panic buying, and should in fact spare people from being caught up in or overly impacted by panic buying come the time.

     

    Failure to plan, on the other hand, is effectively planning to fail.

    So what do you plan to stockpile and amounts? 

     

    I get stockpiling - I do it with washing powder (I buy in 100 washes when Lidl have them in at 2 for £14 and keep in the loft) but there’s a limit to how much tinned/ packet foods I’d keep in.

    Perhaps just perhaps we’ll go back to just eating seasonal food like when I was kid. 

     

    You  had fresh strawberries for a short few weeks not the whole year. Same with asparagus and peaches as other examples. 

     

    Ive always got tinned goods in ( child of the 70s). 

     

    If if it gets grim it’ll be rationing . Heck that will do us the power of good loose weight and healthy diet. 

     

    But panic buy? No way.

    Shouldn't take "babies and young children" abroad then Trace.

     

    Earthquakes are an Act of God, fuck all to do with Thomas Cook.

     

    And if she's tweeting, whining to the Sun , and being on 5Live which I heard , the Communication Network seems to have survived the utter carnage.

     

    Funny that Trace.

    The road around the harbour has a crack in it and some plate glass has gone in the shops in Zakynthos town. Pretty standard stuff for earthquakes on Zakynthos trust me.

     

    No one was injured reading the Ionian newspaper on line and nobody attended the hospital. Bar Tracey from Yorkshire who was ‘badly shook up’...

    Back to ‘Snowflake’.

     

    A series of Earthquakes have hit my favourite island of Zakynthos overnight. The largest was 6.8 ish - admittedly pretty strong (I’ve been there when earthquakes have been around 5+), but reading ‘The Sun’  story this morning you’d think all hell had broken loose.

     

    Tracey Archer, from Yorkshire, tweeted to travel agent Thomas Cook: “Please do something!! We are stuck in Zante after an earthquake and everyone is outside the hotel in blankets.

     

    There’s babies and young children. Please do something, we’re scared and cold.”

    Tracey, 27, told The Sun Online: “We’re terrified. We’ve just had another bad aftershock and they keep coming.

    “We were stood outside the hotel for about three hours in the freezing cold, scared.

    “There were young children crying and screaming. We felt a quake about 1.30am and later a larger one half hour later.”

     

    She added: “The bed was shaking violently for minutes it. My partner and I screamed and grabbed each other and he put a pillow over us to protect us as we thought the ceiling would cave.”

     

    All buildings in Zakynthos are built with reinforced concrete to the highest standard following the Ionian earthquake in 1953. I think Tracey was being a little bit melodramatic. 

     

    Edit- just spoken to my mate on the island. He’s confirmed no damage bar a broken coffee cup. I’m starting a fund to assist with his rebuilding ;) 

     

    Tracey can sit in her blanket outside her hotel for all I care :D

    Debenhams lost the plot. 

     

    Last Christmas they were selling large jars of Nutella. A problem made worse that the same size large jars were much cheaper in every supermarket I went in- leading to barely any of them being sold in Debenhams. 

     

    Nutella and Debenhams. And they lost £462 million......

    Big Brother star Tomasz Wania was forced to leave the house this week for medical reasons.

    The Polish-born cleaner was rushed to hospital for a medical appointment in scenes which will not air.

    The 31-year-old TV personality returned to the Elstree compound shortly afterwards, and had 'minimal contact' with the outside world.

    Seeing as Big Brother has 'minimal contact' with Sir Creep's TV....we remain consistent.
    SC

     

    He’s a strange one. Started off as a favourite in the BB house but his game playing and Gender fluid actions haven’t gone well in the house, nor with the other 5 people apart from me still watching this. 

     

    Up for eviction again this week. Likely to go as well

    As a full member of the gay community since early 1990s ( before it was fashionable to be gay trust me)- the change from LGB name to add the the initial T was bad enough , but now we had LGBTIQFFK community. And it’s ruining the original LGB community as suddenly we have every bastard idiot saying ‘ we’re different can we come to your space’. 

     

    Dont get me started on this drag obsession on the scene either. Fucking millennials coming to the pubs like it’s an episode of Ru Paul’s Drag race. It’s fucking wet Tuesday in Plymouth you muppets, it’s not Hollywood, your primark makeup is sliding off your face and you all look like a joke. What happened to just going to the pub in a polo shirt, jeans and trainers and being men fancing men? 

     

    As for the weekend Brenda’s who are Brian Mon to Fri - hands like shovels but now drink jäger like pints....  

     

    The above will mean millennials will send me on an anger management course...

     

     

    Grrrrrrrrrrr

    I had the misfortune to see a discussion on This Morning yesterday. Called

     

    ‘Are Fairy Tales sexist’? It basically envolved a snowflake saying that as Snow White didn’t given permission for her kiss it was abuse. And that all female characters in Fairy Tales needed updating to show strong female empowerment and that they didn’t need a Prince as this was unrealistic to real life.

     

    The other classic last week was that you should ask your babies permission to change their nappy as this could be viewed as getting into their personal space and humiliating them. This should start immediately from birth. (No advice given for the period where they can’t talk).

     

    I just roll my eyes at this generation.....

    Clearly there are problems, look at the look harry gives meghan at the end. This won't last long .Not even a year into marriage and already been rumours of several arguments and now this vid. 

     

    As i said before she'll try and get and kid out of him before they divorce.

    Half way there. They both looked miserable as sin at that wedding.

    As a Freemason, the Duke of Kent is the Grand Master for us masons in England. Having seen him close hand dealing with complex ritual from memory, he’s safe for another 5 years minimum. 

     

    Trust me - the stuff he has to learn wouldn’t be out of place with an actor on the stage in the West End.

    No real update but I think there’s a new canal series been done (?). 

     

    As Storm Callum rages , I’m having an afternoon with ‘After Henry’. Gentle comedy from late 80s with Pru as the lead Sarah France. Worth a look on YouTube. It’s held up well compared to other 80s comedies imho.

    The only ones that believe cannabis oils cure anything are stoners.

     

    Same cunts that want it legalised.

     

     

    Fuck off to California then youz wankers.

    In my job, there’s a couple of known addresses where all I have to do is stop outside and inhale deeply whilst patrolling.

     

    One turned out to be a cannabis factory- at least it numbed the pain :D

    Well it was my spot on reality thread having seen him this morning in Big Brother Bit in Side but if he gets to Christmas he’ll be doing well imho.

     

    The reference to Tammy and Robin Gibb are apt.

    Just catching up with Big Brothers Bit on the Side and John McCririck is on the panel.

     

    Hes a walking skeleton. Gaunt face and confirmed he’s been ill for several months but getting ‘better’. But he’s got that ‘terminal look’ about him. I think he was a cigar smoker from memory so could be related.

     

    One for 2019 for certain if he gets there
