But we usually just go to the pub, where I can get a pint rather than a tea!<br /><br />Ursula: "Pusteblumen" is a fantastic word! Dandelions are supposedly great for bees. We always leave them when they appear in our garden.<br /><br />Ms Moon: Yeah, thank goodness it's not just PARTIALLY licensed. I love vinegar on chips! I agree that Trump really has it, but it is convenient for him in certain ways. (Provided he doesn't die.)<br /><br />Robin: I don't know why the licensing is such a big deal that it needs to be on the sign. Maybe Britain has a tradition of fly-by-night unlicensed fish restaurants?<br /><br />Vivian: As long as this doesn't generate a sympathy vote for him! I can just see some people saying, "Well, he's sick, poor guy -- let's vote for him and make him feel better."<br /><br />Red: It will be interesting to see what he has to say when he emerges from the other side of this experience.<br /><br />Sharon: I did see that video, with Mike Lee hugging everyone. It shows once again how disconnected these Washington power brokers can be. They really do think they're immune from the concerns of the common man. This'll show 'em!<br /><br />Linda Sue: I hope it doesn't benefit him in some weird way. Argh.<br /><br />Angelicastar: It's amazing how suspicious we've all become, isn't it? Trump's culture of disinformation has infected us all.<br /><br />Mary: IT DOES!<br /><br />Allison: Unless SHE gets it, God forbid, and she's older than either of them.<br /><br />Michael: It really is the craziest roller-coaster of a year!<br /><br />Padre: It's mind-blowing, isn't it? Where were YOU in 1977? Were you even born yet?<br /><br />Elizabeth: Yeah, I certainly don't feel at all detached from it. What happens in the USA affects all of us. (Besides, we have our own smaller-scale shitshow here.)<br /><br />Andrew: Dave told me there IS an online theory that Democrats secretly put Covid on Trump's microphone at the first debate! LOL!

He is trying not to go to the next debate because the commissioner is planning on changing the rules and he said he didn't want them changed. Who the hell is he to make a decision on the debate. As you know he pays people to lie for him. I will only believe it if he die and then I would have a hard time believing it. He might be in Russia and pretending he is dead. I doesn't trust nothing he or anyone in his circle say, Not even the Republicans who say they have it. If they don't have it, they should and a bad case of it.(laughing)Angelicastarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910309522871851699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-53189803254684884402020-10-03T17:09:49.325+01:002020-10-03T17:09:49.325+01:00Serving fish is sketchy at best.

Trump will be fine i reckon, the very best medical treatment in the world- He will have learned nothing, incapable. He will garner sympathy votes and more adoration for being godlike, conquering C19. All of this will not go well, I am afraid. However, the rose garden party seems to be doing its worst.

I blame it on him. He lies all the time and will do anything to win and has sewn the seeds of election tampering in everyone. But I agree, too many other people are infected. It sounds like the event to nominate the new supreme court judge was a super spreader event. If you see the videos from it you will see no masks and everyone is hugging one another.

I don't hope he dies, not right away...it would be nice if sticks around until Nov. 4. I don't want to see the Republicans charged up with a new, slightly less terrible candidate.

That would make me not want to go in there. Why advertise what should be an obvious given? <br />My brain ran the whole gamut about Trump's diagnosis from immediate hysterical laughter to suspicion, to a political ploy, to maybe it's true. The whole thing is crazy.

You can skip the mushy peas as far as I'm concerned. Have you become Brit enough to use vinegar on your chips? <br />I absolutely think that Trump has covid. First of all, he's having to miss his rallies and they are his lifeblood. Also, he's not tweeting. And then there's the fact that I don't think that even the president can be admitted to Walter Reed for a fake illness. Now- how his supporters spin this to make it appear less damaging to his inability to contain the virus is yet to be seen but I do believe we're about to hear some fantastic theories. The one I think that will be quite prevalent is that the Chinese invented this illness for one reason- to get rid of Trump of whom they are so afraid. <br />We'll see though, won't we?Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-35417269091381796682020-10-03T12:05:51.402+01:002020-10-03T12:05:51.402+01:00Nautilus looks a bit dismal.

And I think you are to be commended to give a weed a chance. What is one person's nuisance is another's delight. Think Dandelion. What we call "Pusteblumen". In the motherland's lingo there is no ambiguity. When he was little, I showed the Angel and his friends how to blow the seeds, see them dance in the air, and deal with his mother becoming hugely popular with next door neighbours. I entertained bindweed in the front garden too.<br /><br />As to your "conspiracy" theory re Covid chasing Trump. I am not given to be suspicious of others and their (possibly nefarious) motives. In this case I'll make an exception. How convenient to suddenly be out of circulation instead of facing the music of another disastrous debate. Instead chasing the sympathy vote. I wouldn't go as far as "Karma". Let's leave that for another life. When, maybe, he'll come back as a lightbulb "By Jove, I've got it".<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-20980029574231232842020-10-03T10:25:05.294+01:002020-10-03T10:25:05.294+01:00It is enriching to read things into the date stamp...It is enriching to read things into the date stamps. Quite poetic really or am I simply being "peculiar"? If I had moved to a garden flat in West Hampstead, I would have visited "Nautilus" for a fish and chip meal in my first week there. With the meal I would have had bread and butter, mushy peas and tea. Perhaps, if the food or service displeased me, I would have smashed one of the front windows rather than leaving a negative review on Trip Advisor.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-41662049009842872592020-10-03T09:32:14.076+01:002020-10-03T09:32:14.076+01:00I was starting off by saying how much I love your ...I was starting off by saying how much I love your street photos, but then I love all your photos, so well... <br /><br />And glad Dave pointed out the obvious to you.
