Off Topic Things that aren't worth a new thread ...

This is a very clever, and educational, use of of time

 

Just had a daft thought, it would look class if the east stand seats were changed to display the ship badge. The design is less intricate and would stand out more I think.

 

Had to do a double take when I was driving this morning as I saw a man running in just his pants along the A167 near the Arnison!

Found out it's this fella. If you have a couple of quid spare, chuck it his way as he made me smile.

Pleased he is on the mend.

Everything is smashed up.

I used to always stay at this hotel and have many friends there. I walked down a few hours after the storm finished and this is what I walked into… One of the safest and strongest on the island, apparently. The 5* has probably been downgraded now.

The estate I’m staying in was flattened. Roofs blown off and houses crumbled to the floor. There’s still no power, signal, street lighting and running water is very intermittent.

Diseases are now starting to spread which are killing people. One of them is leptospirosis and there’s another one coming from mosquitoes.

No water can be trusted because you don’t know what’s been contaminated. Some days we used a bucket of collected rain water for a shower and some days I found a waterfall to get washed in. It’s all pot luck though, you take your chance every time.

The world seems to be looking the other way at what’s unfolding. One aid truck has come since the storm and it wasn’t even enough to feed all the kids in one street.

I’ve come back home yesterday, only for a quick turnaround while I grab supplies. I’ll be heading back out there in the next week.
