I detest Columbo. It’s on a par with ironing ….. actually it is worse.

Yes Abi, I always thank people who are courteous, especially when we are surrounded by upholders of state control, who in true communist fashion have been duly rewarded by this government. Let's hope Trump, and possibly Farage, can get rid of the over educated, under caring sociopaths who have infiltrated and control our institutions. But the masses are mostly brainwashed, as my dalliance into the world of computer dating confirmed. After many years of being alone, my first relationship was with a fully jabbed up Kardashian and Strictly Come Wokeing fan who was remarkably active, in some ways, for someone of a similar age to myself (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) but immediately shut down any conversation on current affairs. Popular culture and years of believing state propaganda has enabled those who are doing us harm to blame the very people who might be our salvation.

I have changed my profile to dissuade the brainwashed and I predict the blowing of tumbleweed across the path of true love until my contract endeth.

I often wonder what makes some of our psyches immune to nilhilistic infection and have to stop myself from apologising for not being mentally compromised.

The three words 'I hope you' preceding 'have a nice day' and 'enjoy' would make the Americanisms less of a command and more of a wish but I'm being picky.

Well, at least there were some positives from your online dating Brian😏 … good for you. Top of my list for dating someone is that they must be a pure blood (I know that Abi hates that term). Having suffered from shedding from a vaccinated person I could not go through that again, as well as their mindset of course.

Hi Jan,

according to wikipedia shedding is misinformation by anti vaccine activists; so, now we're told!

I fully intended searching out a like minded woman but I'm an emotional (and grateful) old thing. Still my profile is unambiguous on my views now.

I know Reform is a slightly dirty word here but I was out litter picking in an Essex village, for the cause, Saturday and it was just so good to mix with people who understand what's happening and are doing what they can by standing in local elections etc.

I visited my local government institutionalised cousin and his former staff nurse wife on the way home and even they are slowly seeing the light, although she volunteered to jab the illinformed and is uncomfortable on the topic. I don't blame her.

I will be going to London on Tuesday in order to show my solidarity with farmers - and that's a sentence I never expected to write.

I can’t quite bring myself to have a hard and fast rule about being "unjabbed". There are too many people in my life who’ve had shots - I haven’t stopped touching them, and don’t want to. There are different kinds and degrees of physical contact, of course, and I don’t know a lot about shedding, and haven’t had a bad experience of it - as far as I’m aware! I do know that the dating pool is already small as you get older, and having β€œCovid awakeness” - or the state of being β€œunjabbed”, if that’s a non-negotiable - in common isn’t enough. It’s a bit like well-meaning matchmakers putting together the two single people in the room. It’s a start, but there’s a lot more to compatibility than that. I hope you both find someone wonderful, or that they find their way to you :-)

Hi Louise,

I merely said 'if, like me, you weren't happy with being locked up, masked up, jabbed up and shut up - then we'll probably have more in common than any algorithm on a dating website can predict.'

How's that sound? It's similar to being triaged by a Doctor's receptionist. If my lovelife was terminal and I wanted it to live above my concern for other people - then I might have been more ambiguous.

When I was much, much younger I was propositioned by a member of the Worker's Revolutionary Party. I'd like to say I turned her down out of principal. But, in those days, my member for Essex South would have overruled my brain. No such problems these days and, to be honest, she was no Vanessa Redgrave.

It sounds very good, Brian. Very good.

I, as an adult human female often open doors for men. The reactions are really interesting. As usual, another great pod Abs x

I love it when guys hold a door open for me and I always say β€œthank you so much” because I want them to continue to do this. I also hold doors open for men btw.
