F1 Secret Santa 2022.

Remember former German international Andreas Beck? I genuinely forgot about his existence until I read these news.

My wife and my baby boy visiting me in Germany

Was gonna say tactical vom until I saw you on the grass. Those damn vodka cruisers hey.

Jesus, sorry to hear that for your mother-in-law @Bluewolf. What an absolute palaver on all aspects. Shame the Fire Brigade didn't know about the key, surprised they didn't just bring it down with a big red key. I'm amazed Kingston Council say it takes over a month to get a lock sorted! I'm guessing she's in rented accommodation by the sounds of it. I'd persist with speaking to them and constantly letting on to them it's a safeguarding issue for a frail, physically vulnerable lady who clearly has care needs before the fall has even happened. That's obscene to think it takes best part of 28 working days to get a lock change. I work in housing albeit not for a local authority, but there's bound to be a department that can arrange for emergency lock changes within 24 hrs. Shocked if there isn't. And given its a communal block, it's their responsibility to ensure the safety of the block and get a fix in within a certain time of it being reported. Alternatively, I'd get the flat door lock fixed yourself to a better standard with a better function, and then stick a complaint in and ask for you to be reimbursed. You're well within you're rights. While you're at it, let them know you'll be taking it to the Housing Ombudsman if they don't reply or repair in a more reasonable time.

Oh wow, I did not expect this concept. I thought it was a different planet. Interesting.

Jan 6th committee officially making a total of 4 criminal charge referral's to the DOJ for the Orange one.

I wouldn't have liked a pair of worn slippers, either

Albon really didn't like his

Oh this looks like an interesting concept. Finally, we find out that Kylo Ren was responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs

Me at the work Christmas party, about 5pm yesterday.

Found the video of that.

Lots of National and One Nation cock sucking out here. My uncle even said he like Scomo I’m too aggressive when it comes to this so I have to just be quiet, I’m not changing their minds the one nation posters and signs made me real uncomfortable last time I was here. It was election time I loved explaining to my Asian American wife the particularities of Pauline Hanson’s feeling towards certain people, and why family friends and acquaintances would vote that way. It truly is painful listening to the member of Maranoa but what can I say, it’s the most conservative part of the country @Devil-Dick Willie @Toinho

The temperatures have dropped to +15 here at night, and I'm freezing

That's our eldest grandson Connor still doing well in his amateur boxing career, won 2 awards the other night in a competition, proud of him.

Usually when we take pictures or take him anywhere he looks mad, but overall he is a very happy baby and laughs a lot. On most of his pictures though he looks like a villain.

Numbers getting a bit thin in here.... We are nearly down to all the virgins

Done something stupid on holiday. Fucked it haven't I, goodbye happiness Jokes. Up the Whites.

Treated the wife & daughter (and me ) to a pub lunch, the lagers went down very well and the food

We really have hit rock bottom in this country... My missus has an elderly mum that is not very mobile and has a number of health issues ( she is 86 ) and she goes down to her once or twice a week to make sure she is ok and has enough food and that the bills are paid and to sort out any other issues etc.. Well she had a fall sometime in the early hours of the morning due to an attack of some description which set off her emergency alarm... The Fire Brigade arrived at her property and instead of using the emergency key located outside in a box to allow them in they set about breaking in.. It took them a full hour to break down the secure door according to the neighbours and she was then taken to Kingston Hospital where she had to wait nearly 5 hours before she was seen by a doctor. The door has been completely shattered down one side.. then they attempted to screw back the frame but everything else is damaged... Because it was badly damaged you could close the door but not secure it.. The locking mechanism was completely torn off the frame.. My other half's sister is currently up there now with her. I understand they will not allow her back home as they are concerned about her mobility and will be moving her to a secure housing unit where she will at least be monitored... My missus sent me pictures of the door and she could not get it to lock despite trying to put it back together which meant the property would be unsecured, Also the outer door to the flats is unsecured which means anyone on the prowl would have a field day just walking in... She phoned Kingston Council and the earliest they claim they can sort it out is January 27th!!! Bearing in mind this is the property of a vunerable 86 year old woman I find that fucking appalling... Her primary carer has also not been available to talk to all day... Now I don't say these things to have a go at our emergency services or doctors or nurses because no doubt they are doing the best they can with what little resources they have and I hear a lot of things along these lines happening to a lot of people and for sure the Health system is about as poor as it can be, Underfunded, Underpaid workers, and absolutely no accountability for those in charge of funding or policies... Life shouldn't be this difficult for people... We just seem to be getting worse and worse
