Re: Covid Vacs
Hi Lewis.
If we made up the Govt from this site I think the UK would be in a bigger mess than it is now, Can you imagine Cappy as Labour Minister, he would hire all the people with wooden legs to test single shoe sizes. John S would be in charge of star gazing in the Commons , Capt Kong in charge of social security, Ivan in charge of the house business and bankruptcy. Den could serve the banquet every day for perks. Add on what you think could put the great back into Britain.
Cheers Des

Re: Covid Vacs
Well Des if you want to be minister for perks, just like the second stewards, then we have no hope.
Cappy would have Mary spinning around oh her leg just like the current lot of ministers who run around in circles.
If you make Den minister for banquets we will all die from Tab Nab flatulence, but if you made Doc minister for wine from SA then we would all be able to survive, and make a life boat out of all the corks.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Covid Vacs
Right how about this for a plan. We get the UK government to award the contract for the new Yacht to H&W. Living local, I can keep an eye on the build. When she is ready for sea trials as she is passing Carrickfergus, Cappy and a few of the lads pop out from Carrick harbour in a Liberated refugee rubber duck(Plenty to choose from down in Dover) set off a flare when you spot the Yacht, clamber onboard and we high jack her. I am sure we could muster a crew from on here no bother.
There will be no worries about the Royal Navy tracking us down as they will be otherwise occupied trying to get the Chinese to give them back Big Lizzie.

Re: Covid Vacs
Easy solved , while I am keeping an eye on the build , I know a man who could fit a couple of Stannah stairlifts instead of a pilot boarding ladder.

Re: Covid Vacs
Lewis, Rubber Duckies, not so good.
If they try to give any one the Vaccine and the needle slips you may be looking for the life jackets.
