Good luck out there gang. I honestly hope this doesn't turn into the shit-show it looks like it will be.

60% of those admitted in hospital are unvaccinated.
Which begs the question...

Aren’t they gonna mandate masks in SF and possibly Vegas again?

It's a total shit-show. Led (if that's the word) by the shit-show kings that are in power here in Plague Island. We're all feckin doomed. But we probably deserve it.

Put that on a t-shirt & sell it! (Might as well make a few bucks while we all burn).

That's a thought. As we're all feckin doomed, the only thing to do is to get some humour out of it, though of course satire is dead now, as you just seriously couldn't make it up any more.

Or we could just market the shirts, then sit and have fun counting our dosh until we burn. Alternatively we could blow it all on a big willy-shaped rocket and have ten minutes of fun in space before we crash back down into the world of fire, flood and pestilence.

Uh, Eric Clapton (who is vaccinated) won’t play places that require audiences to be vaccinated to attend?
Because he had a reaction to the vaccine but apparently has recovered enough to travel and perform his boring as fuck music.
Isn’t he only allowed to travel to Chicago and perform because he’s vaccinated? Fucking hypocrite.

Maybe don’t be a raging heroin addict half your life and things will go a bit easier. :roll:

A (former) IV drug addict whining about adverse shot reactions? LMFAO.

Had to look that up, LOL.

Suppose it's like saying Magic Mountain or the county fair to a US act.

I think I saw one of those places in a Sweet documentary. Well, a documentary on the lead singer, Brian Connolly.

What's the big, famous amusement park, beach resort called? The Jersey Shore or Coney Island of Britain?

As many times as I've been to England, I've stayed put in London, except when I went to Donnington and once to Salisbury.

Loser. :)


Clapton recorded an album nearby and apparently went to this classic car event held on Fridays. The old people in my extended family thought that was cool. I think I'd just laugh and heckle "Slowhand" or "Cocaine!" myself. Put him on the list with Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner. What has that bald bastard been up to? ZZZZZzzzzz.

:lol:

Do Butlins allow "foreigners" or people of colour in? Because the old racist wouldn't want to be playing there if so.

That'd be Blackpool Pleasure Beach, I guess.

Speaking of old racists, last time I was at Caesar’s Palace I saw that Steven Patrick Morrissey is having a residency there, like Celine and Elton. :shock:


Don't miss Morrissey's Las Vegas residency from August 28th - September 5th. The show will serve as an intimate, invigorating dive into his expansive career from his early days to the new album.


There’s at least two Gordon Ramsey restaurants there, an Old Homestead Steakhouse, Rao’s meatballs, etc., etc.



Johnny Marr is opening for the Killers soon

Clapton's got a long history of blaming his disgraceful, racist utterances on the effect of the drugs he was taking at the time. Funny that the cvnt is so anti vax now.

I'm very happy for him to take up permanent residency there. He's always been a pillock. I knew him in my youth, when he was just that weird kid in the park who wouldn't shut up about the New York Dolls long enough to pass the football. Hated him then, hate him more now!
