RANDOM THOUGHTS

Interesting thread on the lorry situation from someone who is involved.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1409887566753566730.html

I saw on Twitter that he also announced this:

I arrived to work today to discover a £7 per hour pay rise.

A 40% increase… almost overnight.

There are no drivers, things are about to get a bit tasty.

Completely unsustainable, of course, so guess what happens to prices next?

All your s**** comes by lorry.

All of it.

I’ve just taken two paracetamol ….or as Sajid Javid would say ….I’ve just opened two new hospitals.

I know you got a lot of fun from the last one DonDon sent, so I asked him for another … and he sent two.

Here’s the first of them

A Knock Back

He’d been peyin coort til a leddy, but she wasnae muckle taen wi him.

At lenth, she gied him the brush-aff, an Dauvit Hume tuik it unco sair.

A wee while efter, the leddy fund oot that her umquile wooster was a scholar o great repute, aye, an mibbe the best-kennt philosopher in aa o Embro toun.

Sae she sent him a letter, ane that was naethin if no short an til the peynt: “I’ve changed my mind.”

Whan he read it, Hume was jist a wee bit set ajee.

An wha wudnae be? He pou’d aff his periwig an scartit his pow.

Syne he tirned owre the letter an screivit this repone:

“So have I.”

Gordon Donaldson (DonDon)
