Pubs run low on beer Ah the poor little darlings, simple answer. Blame Brexit. :-) Funny thing is though, this has been brewing for 2 decades at least. When did Brexit commence? When did Covid hit? |

Ironic, really, that it's the foreign brews (two of them European by name) that are singled out for mention. They won't be imported, however: they've been brewed under licence in the UK for ages. But who was the Brexit flag-bearer for the pub trade? Why, Tim 'Wetherspoon' Martin himself, of course. |

It isn't just a problem on your islet. My local pub has been told by his food supplier that the best they can do is once a month deliveries. If he has the space that could work for dry goods. It will not work for fresh food. So the local super is now going to have to stock restaurants in addition to your kitchen. They will quickly run into supply chain too. BTW the food supplier begged him if he knew anyone with a license to apply, starting salary the same as the starting salary at JP Morgan for an investment banker! |

Companies on our islet have started buying up any available stocks of small vans, which can be driven by anyone with a normal car licence. The key word being 'islet': distances, and quantities, are small enough to be amenable to that kind of workround. And drinking in a pub which brews its own beers in a log cabin in the carpark helps too. |

I don't get it. Texas just passed an anti-abortion law that basically says that women can't get an abortion after 6 weeks, when many women don't even realize they are pregnant, and people can sue people for assisting someone in any way to get an abortion. They say that every life is important. On the other hand, an abortion affects the unborn fetus and immediate family, and the governor is trying to enforce a ban of mask and vaccine mandates because of personal freedom that could save the lives of countless people. This is extreme hypocrisy. Edit: At the same time Texans are now allowed to carry guns in the open with no permit or training. Warning, addicted to SETI crunching!

But there was resistance from US diplomats on the ground. Pellegrino went to Qatar and told the ambassador and other officials at the embassy that he had an indictment against Mohammed for the plot involving airliners. But he says they seemed wary of causing trouble in the country....probably in their rocking chairs now sipping a nice glass of sherry on the taxpayers. If... What's the difference between a diplomat & a politician? There is none. Nothing sensible is uttered by either. |

Ah young Andy, what have you been up to lad? (As if we didn't know.) Prince Andrew bolts for Balmoral to avoid being served sexual assault papers. Didn't your mummy teach you that only guilty people run and that innocent people stand and fight? And it sounds like this fellow got upset because the girls were stealing his attention. LOL Women’s bikinis dubbed ‘pornographic’ by angry dad. He could be out of 1 of them redneck shows that are glimpsed now and again. Or is he an undercover Taliban agent? |

Well it looks like Rupert Murdoch has given that loser Piers Morgan a job. Piers Morgan joins News Corp in new global media deal spanning television, publishing and online. Thankfully only those wasting $'s for access to Murdoch's ultra right wing private networks will get to see or hear from him so us normal Aussies won't have to put up with his stupid crap at all. |

Nothing ever changes. Use & abuse rolls along just like that "Old man river" Reports in several newspapers have suggested that the government is considering getting soldiers to drive fuel tankers under emergency plans. ROFLMAO. No unions Orders are orders Right? Closures spark lorry driver row Careful BBC, sparks & petrol do not mix nicely. |

Nothing ever changes... Not since many years... Note this grim summary from 2019 when we had a driver shortage back then of a supposed mere 45000 drivers... Why Truck Drivers are Leaving The Industry Perhaps that's why I'm not a lorry driver... Add a little disruption to the normal supply chains to expose that there is now no flexibility available and... PANIC!!! However, will that spur or prompt any improvements? All in our overly greedy world...
