Boris Johnson: Do as I say, not as I do.

You think Boris Johnson has sex?

Isn't that why his hair is always messed up?

With that face, I'd have pegged him an incel.

in some towns in the US, it is both Illegal to wear a mask while driving

In many US states, it's illegal for an adult to wear a mask in public driving or not. These mask bans are old, they go back to anti-Klan laws from the post Civil War era.

No contest - the ONS.

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Obviously the Office for National Statistics, is without doubt and entirely creditable, after all, what is the statistical likelihood that they would be 'economical with the truth' or 'massage the figures with the best of intentions' ??

Anyone expecting a politician to present the unvarnished truth in simple terms...

Uhuh, two of you.. For the rest of us we know that the actual figures won't be released (willingly) and if leaked, without the sources used to generate them, they are useless.

Demanding to know how many people were tested, not how many tests were done is to ignore the need to test people several times, for example, those entering the quarantine for their mandatory two week isolation, no point testing them at the start, but not during and at the end of quarantine. The initial test might be too early to pick up that they'd become infected just prior to travelling. That won't stop either group demanding 'their' version be the one most relevant.

Oh, statistically speaking, six out of seven dwarves aren't happy...

In the opinion of UK members here, which them has the right of it?

I'd just like to point out there are differing statistics for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as healthcare and public health are devolved matters and the four governments use differing methods of collecting statistics. There is quite a lot of discontent in Scotland about the England being conflated with the UK.

It's my understanding that the United Kingdom consist of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Is there something I'm missing?

He was saying that people are thinking UK = England, forget the rest.

Great Britain?

Great Britain vs United Kingdom (britannica.com)

It is permissible (pretty much mandatory, I would say) to drill a hole thru which the necessary erm... connection can be made.

Is it ok to drill two holes..?? Some of us enjoy '69'...

What about pots or skillets?

Very bigoted of you, AJ.

If it was a boil, he'd be called Lance.

As it's a ghoul, she's named Nimuë.

An ambitious name for a young witch.

Indeed, not for the Fey hearted.

So the idea of joining a bubble makes you squeak?
The requirement for a barrier suggests that glory holes are now the only legal form of sex in Least Britain.
The anorak brigade must be feeling exceptionally smug right now.
Has tweeting against glory holes been made an offense against public order yet? If not it will be by the end of the week.

Is this what we're talking about here?

No.

Sorry, upon further perusal of this thread, I see you're talking about buns, blenders, and food processors.

So, obviously I've blundered into a discussion about kinky sex. Now what about the possible uses of bubble and squeak mentioned by @Radagast ? Anyone?

bubble and squeak

"Bubble and squeak is a traditional British breakfast dish made from potatoes and cabbage. ... The dish is so named because the cabbage makes bubbling and squeaking sounds during the cooking process."

how this relates to Boris Johnson

It doesn't. Given the method of cooking, it could relate to Stephen Fry...
