I feel a bit spaced out though, not a good idea to drive a bus right now. This is my first time, I seem to have missed it up to now. First time probably hits you harder, first time left me exhausted for a couple of weeks plus the cough was really bad and painful, my second time was like a holiday alone at home and I loved it, and third time was 1 day's worth of flu. Oh, didn't realize we were talking Covid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your bus open or one of those with the plastic separating the driver from passengers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Well it turns out that the UK have done away with their withdrawal of voting rights for Brits living abroad longterm. So I've just applied for us to have an online vote for Swansea West. Now......who to vote for? I think I'll do what I've always done and take Nye's advice........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the shops have Polish or (I assume) Romanians workers, better than working at Sport Direct. Only a couple of Polish food shops in Mansfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Had a good week back to walking, been building up to it but pleased to be on the right track. Hopefully on the right road to being less of a fat bastard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said before, Shirebrook has many Polish/Romanian/Lithuanian people there, Sports Direct was/is their main employer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do get a cough and end up with a hernia we do not need to see any photos of it! Just putting this out there in case! Anyway, hopefully it doesn't hit you too hard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Speaking of learning another language, me and my buddy have been teaching some of the local French some English! That'll be 20 of them out of 2500 in our village, so I guess I'd better up the ante with my French then, otherwise I'd need to live to 10000 years old before we got all of them up to speed in English! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just had them moaning about how difficult it is to conjugate the verb "to have". In english there's 2 options; Have or Has! None of this "ai, as, a, avez, avons, ont" Bullshit!
