Coffee Moaning on Monday. Hope your weekend went well. Title is "Queen Unwell, Liverpool Car Bomb, UNJABBED Lockdown, Migrant Dilemma, Welsh Passes."
Ugh, it's just Mark in his green jacket. "How are we all this morning?" He sounds like a teacher when he says that.
Roll call. Warns if we hear noise, it's the builders. Asks if we remember if the Queen didn't show up for Remembrance Sunday, there would be whispers. "Does anyone remember that?" More roll call. Tra La La is in San Diego. Ghostbusters review is landing tonight. "Who thinks that the Palace aren't giving us the full picture?"
Oh ffs! They say she had a back spasm and those are a witch. Leave the woman ALONE!! The chatters are saying the Palace is hiding something. Conspiracies a go-go. Mark going on about Charles becoming a Prince Regent or summit. Emma got her card. Amanda says at her age, she can miss a few things. Steph says no one would expect their 90 something relatives to be going here and there. Cat says the Queen Mother lived to 102. Kiki asked when the Queen passes, do we automatically go into a state of mourning? Who is a fan of the Queen?
Me. The amount of crap she has put up with, thankless job. Loads of chatters say they are. Mark quizzing the back ache, was she doing thrust, squats or burpees?
Penny says it's private, but Mark says the reasoning doesn't add up.
WTH? You can get a back spasm from getting out of bed. Shut up asshat! He is chugging from an Evian bottle, how bourgeois. Someone mentions she still rides.
Mark got 5 hours again. More maudline shite from Mark about the Queen, saying they are making preparations. This again, shows how little he knows, as the plans for when Her Majesty shuffles off her mortal coil have been an existence since the 60s.
He is iritating me today like a raging yeast infection! All unvaccinated people in Austria are in lockdown, with one of othe lowest rates of vaccination in Europe. Do you think it is a possible route here? Chatters ask how they will police it.
There are a little under 9 million there. When will the lockdown end and Mark mentions it being a Bladrunner dystopia. More blah, blah on vaccinations, so sick of it. Angela goes all RED SCARE on us, saying we are becoming a communist world.
Yes, because this world most of the West was a veritable utopia before COVID. Talk about DNA being held by a testing firm, delightful. Mark says antibody testing is the way forward, but won't happen because there isn't money for Big Pharma. Says people who have had it, have higher antibodies than those with the vaccine, "so square that out." He is gesticulating now. Wales: They are introducing passes for arts establishments.
We have passes in order to go to a restaurant, cinema, etc. Carys says in Wales they got offered an antibody test. (There is an ad banner now that say 12 or up? Get your vaccine in Peel Region.) Vaccine, antibodies, COVID chit chat
. The passes idea is a 50/50 split in the chatbox. Happy Birthday Ashley. The chatbox is filled with Happy Birthdays for Ashley. I have an idea, for Ashley's birthday Mark, get that TENS machine he sent you and put it on already. We have only been waiting what 3 YEARS!?! That, or hookers and blow.
OOoh, Minky-Moo called someone a creep. Was it Ashley?
Chatbox drama! Mark finally sings Happy birthday to Ashley. Faith has her CAP LOCKS ON. Migrant crossings, is it the responsibility of France? Chatbox is split again. Mark goes all self-hating Briton on us again. Talks about Britain being an island, its sense of exceptionalism vis-a-vis Europe, naturally protected, "geographically we're aloof."
I've said this before, but all islands are like that, attitude problems . Anyway, the British were never going to be European. Mark says France should take some but not all responsibility.
You want to shut this tit down? Target the trafficking gangs. We had this problem with the Snakehead gangs in China. Wooo shots fired from Elspeth as she says the French are void of any responsibility for compassionate care.
Telegraph says the crossings are in danger of hitting epidemic levels. Karen mentions Turkey has loads of refugees. Talk about what is the solution. Mark talks about Waterworld and a book called The Wall about the UK having a wall built around the coast to prevent people getting in. Chris says the EU's inability to sort out the migrant crisis in 2015, influenced Brexit.
That is only one of the myriad of reasons why people voted for Brexit.
Liverpool car bomb, lucky that no one else was killed but the bomber.
That cab driver needs a medal. Brave, hero chatters say. Has anyone seen Red Notice and does anyone want a review?
Let me translate or UNPACK that comment shall I? What Mark is saying is I have seen Red Notice, if you want I can do a review, but really I can't be arsed otherwise. It's the highest watched film on Netflix apparently. Him and Nads haven't been able to get into a new drama. Succession is marmite. Mark says he would have liked to watched Handmaid's Tale, "but so much of what is watched in this room is dictated by whether Nadia can cope with it."
They have been watching Winter House, "talk about living vicariously through other people's alcoholism." Mark loved Maid but Nadia has "become very, very fragile."
Must be the HRT.
CORNISH VLOG LANDING LATER TODAY, GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE REVIEW, I HOPE YOU HAVE A REALLY NICE DAY. ASHLEY, HAVE A LOVELY BIRTHDAY AND SEE YOU ALL LATER MY LOVELIES. A MEALS IN MINUTES WILL BE LANDING AT SOME POINT AND ME AND NADIA ARE TRYING TO FIND THE TIME TO DO A HTSM. ANYWAY GUYS HAVE A LOVELY MORNING, BLAH, BLAH. Later all!
