I know we have bigger fish to fry but you know if you go to a gig and talk through it you are an absolute tool. If you are meeting up with friends youโve not seen in a while: Meet earlier and get it out of your system - while the band is playing SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Please. Not even thinking of opening til face masks are mandatory in shops because I donโt want what you may have, thanks. Horrified how few staff in shops in Cardiff donโt wear masks. All the people they see, negligent behaviour for a business.

Feel alarmed and concerned about how many people pull down masks to converse. Not to shame, but please consider if you do this because itโs defeating the whole effort of wearing one in the first place. They suck, they really do but there is a reason we are wearing them. โฎ๏ธ๐.

Canโt believe that such a grey and grizzly day would yield two Ray of โ๏ธmoments; . Very young person buying their first album, doing the whole transaction by themselves (with a few parental prompts). The album? Black Sabbath - paranoid CD ๐๐ค. Then at the very end of day.

If this U.K. population vote the Tory government in again there is literally no hope of growing old with dignity. If that happens, we may as well all top ourselves. You can say there is NO opposition but perhaps now is a good time to find one, support it and help it grow.
