This is a stand alone because it so precisely sums up every complaint I have had about the "experts" for the past decade. They always imply the "science is settled" and you should just shut up and believe what the experts say.
As a scientist, I have been crushed to hear the stupidity...that you are not supposed to question. My most concerning moment came when they started to dictate masks. I looked up the studies for using masks for viruses...and they all said they were useless...especially for lay people who wouldn't use/fit them properly. I then went back to those studies a few weeks later and they had been taken down...WTF. And not because the data was found to be faulty, but for political reasons.
Fooled one time is a lesson, fooled twice is a choice...never again.
Congratulations to @Fuezie and @steve-allen. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Fuezie What's one job where you have to trust people even though you really don't want to.....?
@steve-allen What daily habit do you do that you really didn't know you had until someone pointed it out?
Congratulations to @frenchi. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists
@frenchi. what is something weird that you recommend everyone trying at least once?
Damn if I didn’t say I am lGreg’s sister. It happened so fast. He actually looks better in person. His wife took the picture
Guddly moaning, Gutterfolks. I greet you well.
It was fifty years ago today that I got hitched. A half a century.
I remember the Vicar asking: "If any person here present knows of any reason why Bloke Down The Pub and This Bird should not become lawful husband and wife, let him speak now or forever hold his peace."
I looked around hopefully at my mates, and not one of those buggers said a word.
Then the Vicar said : "Bloke Down The Pub, do you take This Bird to become your lawfully wedded Her Indoors?"
I felt the barrel of her father's shotgun press into my back, and yelped "Yes!"
I was promptly fitted with my ball and chain, and hobbled out of the church a newly married man.
Fifty years, though. Back in the days of flared trousers, winged collars, kipper ties and stacked soles.
Still, Her Indoors hasn't been a bad wife - she's almost like one of the family now.
