One for Tannin,

Apparently Gen Z are intimidated by Full Stops. They consider them to be blunt, abrupt and unfriendly and people who use them are viewed as insincere.

Nonsense.

Utter twaddle, David.

There are some intelligent, articulate people amongst the hordes of illiterate Millennials and Gen XYZers. Quite possibly dozens of them.

At least I think so.

Probably.

:lol: It's not a fart, it's a self Covid test. If you haven't lost your sense of smell, you probably don't have Covid. :P :wink:

Hehe, 2 damn days, oh man, so crook, I feel like I went a few rounds with a boxer. Not sick today though, thank god. 10 days to go hopefully, not much t9 laugh at right now, I really feel for people on their own, and anyone going through a tough time, end of life, funerals with 10 people, it’s a real wake up call, hopefully the world listens but I doubt it. Looking at the US, I can’t see any country with half a brain allowing flights except for necessities for years. I honestly dont see how they recover from this and the riots, so much destruction, so many deaths. It’s not all Trumps fault, it’s been coming for years, the perfect storm.

Watching the Tour De frog last night They were featuring the bloke dressed as the devil and giving us some background etc. Quite amusing . Then as the peleton approached the riders were throwing empty water bottles at him. After my girlfriends mate died 2 days ago and a pommy bloke I used to frink with 4 days ago I needed a laugh.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Social distancing, cyclist-style.

Drug-crazed morons.

Man Novak Djokovic dropped that poor linewoman so hard.

Personally I’m glad he’s out, grand slams played with none of the other top players will have at least an imaginary * next to them.
