    I've always been more of an analytical thinker... You'll get the spelling police out every once in a while which is fine, no issue with being corrected. Now that you point it out I am actually annoyed with myself at such a simple error so often, so thank you. 

    If that has genuinely impacted anyone understanding my posts, they're welcome to ask for clarity. I doubt that's happened very often though. Probably more likely used as a means of being pedantic. 

    If you want me to be pedantic I'd say that you spelled overlay correctly. You should've used overly. Both of those are correct spellings.

    You mean like they used to paint ships with them as camouflage. emoji54.png

    Dazzle camouflage wasn't to make them ships not stand out. It was to make it hard to gauge distance and heading in time before radars were as advanced as they are now.

    It isn't the "save the pot" option in the way you presented it, which was it couldn't be  touched until completion. I think even in these extreme times when a save option still can't win, it just shows the view remains strictly in the minority. 

    Certainly not enough appetite to bring it back for consideration at any future meeting (probably pointless now anyway with the Kibble deal) 

    The spend the pot this month was won by a minority of the membership as well though 😘

    Bit of a personal crisis for me this morning in Waitrose...  :(

    Only Tunnocks Tea Cakes available were... dark chocolate, which is fine for me but The Boss isnae sae keen...

     

    Even worserer - No Tunnocks Caramel Wafers!!!                     Of any hue or flavour!  :o

     

     

    I have to ask... are all of the 5 million made every week in the Scottish factory, now being consumed every week by greedy fat basturts in Scotland?

     

    Reported for racism. 😂

    I’m not diminishing it, it’s just the terminology I chose to use. 
     

    I agree but it wasn’t one there was any appetite for, evidenced in the members vote numbers. 

    Maybe there wasn't, but the reasoning behind it was for situations we now find ourselves in. IMO shows that saving or at least the option was a sensible option.

    That vote was save it until after the completion as a nest egg sort of fund.
     

    This is save it for a future option Or future need sort of thing. which is pretty much what a no vote has always done anyway. they’ve just changed the wording a bit. 

    Eh? Are you at the wind up.

    The lack of labour could be, if it's not already, a problem up here.

    We have a lot of farms and, although quite a number have become residents in the town, there will be a requirement for more soon.

    As far as I heard Brexit was only going to have a minimal affect but this is a different ball game.

    As for Smokies, who cares, not my scene. :lol:

    Kidding apart the outlets that sell them have reopened after a short spell of closure. 

    I always pop into the wee smokehouses for some stuff to take down the road when I'm up fishing. Can't beat it. The world famous pie bobs pastry emporium as well 😂

    You understand that since I posted those numbers almost the entire world has been under a lockdown right?

    You also understand that those predictions were based on nothing changing right?

    There's a reason I'm calling Faraway an idiot and it looks like you are joining him.

    You're numbers have been f**ked from the very beginning 😂😂😂

    I'm really not sure where you are going with the whataboutery in this post.
    You seem to have completely ignored my point about the amount of deaths we are having.

    Also, where is the sensationalism?

    I've just read a report stating deaths could peak around 3000 a day in UK later in around 10 days time.

    That's not far off what oaksoft said albeit his dates were out.

    I really hope he continues to be wrong.

     

     

     

    He didn't carry his on that far but follow his graph and see where his daily deaths would have been in 10 days time. Absolutely miles away from 3000, it would have been the end of the world on his graph.

     

    I didn't ignore it, I said it's tragic, as is 23k people a day dying from hunger.

    Its not whataboutery either. Every man and their dog is on a high horse with this, more people die from trivial things every day, and none of those were watching having a pissing contest give a f**k because it doesn't affect them. That's not whataboutery. That's the selfish nature of people. Don't give a f**k until it has a chance of affecting them.

    Sorry to inform you you have just been categorised as.................

    Stupid

    Not taking "this" seriously

    Part of a gang

    Oh, not understanding a stupid graph. :lol:

    😂

    I've not given an opinion on it deliberately. Nobody has any idea how seriously I'm taking it because I don't want involved. 

    What I understand from that graph is that the graph in question is a bag of shite. I'm taking that as seriously as it deserves to be taken.

    Yeah, his figures might have been out but the actual figures are awful and we are on a worse trajectory than Italy.

    Hisnfigures aren't just out, they are absolutely miles out. Laughably so. 

     

    23000ish people died in the world today due to hunger and malnutrition. Arguably an easier fix than the fix for a new virus. For the most part that doesn't affect us in the developed world so people don't really give a f**k.

     

    Both tragic, but let's not be sensationalist about just 1 of them because it affects or has great potential to affect us while the other doesn't.

    You really are a f**king idiot bud.

    How? You were absolutely f**king miles out. Quoting numbers that hadn't been seen anywhere in the world. We all just don't get it though because you're too clever 😂. Let this one go and hope everybody forgets. 

    You could always kid on you're panic buying bog roll to take the heat off. Shit. Wait....
