moron noun   [  C  ]       informal UK     / ˈmɔː.rɒn /   US     / ˈmɔːr.ɑːn /   a very  stupid   person : Some moron  smashed  into the back of my  car   yesterday . [  as form of address  ]   You moron! What you see here is people over in Asia being sensible, that is, not being morons. It's not hard to do, it is not rocket science, not in any way. Listen to Tom telling it like it is. Remember, this Hollywood A list actor knows what the virus is like, he got it way back in the early days. Masks are not a new thing you know. This is wartime, back in the 1940's where there was no actual gas anywhere to kill anyone, just a risk that there may be and all generations and genders wore a mask because, they were not morons. Actually, I should think a lot of morons wore them too because they understood that just because they couldn't see something it doesn't mean they should not take precaut...

I am struggling somewhat with depression and anxiety at the moment. Rather a lot of things are really getting to me. There is the issue of the garden which probably irritates me the most. Losing £3500+ to a rogue trader who left me with an utter disaster and not being able to do anything about it. I am taking legal action but am fully expecting that I just threw good money after bad and will never see a penny back from it. Seeing the mess every day is a constant reminder of the time I became a statistic, something I thought would never happen. Not getting money back yet from Disneyland after months of trying is upsetting me too, it just shouldn't happen, not with Disney, it's like showing Mickey smoking dope! No Disney, sort yourselves out. An issue whereby I was using a charity to help me with my PiP claim but they sort of were not helping just giving me more stress.So, it looks like I am on my own with that one. I understand we have Covid-19 still raging but the total lack of...

#disneylandparis I am so disappointed in them! We have a vacation booked in August with them. We saved long and hard and it is costing a small fortune but, hey. it's Disney! For us to go, my husband has to apply for a Schengen Visa which we know he will get this year as we're still subject to EU rules until the end of the year. It's automatic for just a few expenses. The trip is in August. All seems quite simple except that ... Where he works is making them take their annual leave whilst on Furlough and have insisted that all advanced booked holiday is cancelled and used to cover their stay at home cost. Actually, it just covers 20% of the cost because the other 80% is paid by the government but, that is an aside! Of course, we still don't know if travel restrictions will be in place in August. The thing is, if all the annual leave is used before returning to work then, we cannot go. The same may apply to my son too who is coming with us alon...

Anyone, Anywhere ...Anytime  I am one of the 25% A quarter of everyone at some time in their lives suffers with mental health issues. There is a huge range of what qualifies as a mental health issue but we all know someone, whether we realise it or not, who suffers. In my case I have suffered with it the majority of my life. I can recall suicidal thoughts for certain in my early teens. Probably as a result of bullying at home and school coupled with regular health issues (and my sexuality), I felt isolated. Rarely did I ever quite fit in with anyone. These experiences shattered my self worth My confidence in my abilities in activities involving others was most often negligible. I was that kid who had the ball taken away more often than I can remember and who was ridiculed for being short and not able to do the highjump. I was good at Cross Country running but, that wasn't the cool thing to be any good at so there was no pleasure in it. PE teachers would save al...

Fatty I am still gaining weight, don't know what on earth to do about it. I walk so slow it won't make any difference and I am not really pigging on food. Something has to happen else it won't be covid-19 which gets me. Mum We lost my second mum the other day. I am writing it but still don't accept it. She was so strong and stubborn. She was only in her 70's and as far as we know she fell and hit her head on a sink. This caused a bleed on her brain and despite surgery, she never recovered. I first met her in 1985 when I started dating Kris (Lorna) who would become my wife the following year. Both mum and dad, the only names I can refer to them as, took me on as their own from the outset. When my own mum died in 1986 just three weeks before our wedding, they were both there for me and I have seen her as my mum ever since despite being divorced since 2001 (I think). All the kids adored her, she was that sort of lady. She had her little code. If sh...

How to be in a crisis Queues Above is how we're currently queuing in the UK, just look at that. No spacing at all except accidentally, no thought to who is and isn't possibly vulnerable. In store is no better sad to say ... Let's just for a moment forget the contents of the trolleys, the very fact that none of the people are making any attempt at distancing means none of them and none of the stores are taking this seriously. Below are better examples of what is possible: You can clearly see here these people are keeping a safe distance of around 2m from each other, it is possible but only if we take it seriously. Your freedom taking away the freedom of others? Now, you do have the right to do what you want, as yet we're still a free country but, we are a free country which has a record of taking away the rights of everyone when a selfish few will not do the right thing when it comes to health. If you need an example, think of the ...
