    Well mine involves my cousin, he was a big lad,his head was too large for his body 

    and with a high forehead would be a shoo in for Frankenstein's monster,that's why

    at 19 he was still a virgin.

     

    Thinking I was helping him I said I know a girl who could help him with his problem,

    so he obviously said yes,so off we go,she lives in a block of flats,so i toot my horn

    and out comes Yvonne,she's a big girl, not in a fat way, A.K.A, The Hulk, she was well

    know around Newcastle, her and her sidekick Sylvia, she was just the opposite of Yvonne,

    5 foot 4 , long blonde curly hair,beautiful body,and she never gave it out to anyone,chalk

    and cheese.

     

    So I thought of a romantic setting for them ,so took them to Whitley Bay,Saint Mary's 

    lighthouse,at the time I had a VW camper van, (wish I still had it),so after the deed was 

    done took her back home, while we were going home,he's going on  none stop  about

    her,how she's beautiful, lovely...on and on,I am saying to him, just forget her.

     

    So a few weeks go past and i don't see him around, then I find out,the very next night

    he made his way back to her,this is before all this social media stuff,mobile phones,

    I don't know how he did it,he would have needed to take 3 buses,not only the next

    night but every night after work he made his way there.

     

    So i moved away from Tyneside, and would just hear bits and pieces of what was

    going on back there, few years later,I find out they are married and have 3 kids,

    few years later been living in Thailand a while,relations come to visit and I find

    out she's buggered off ,with the kids and a coal miner down to the coal fields

    in the Midlands somewhere,and he is distraught, starts drinking too much and

    ends up in a mental hospital,because he has basically lost his mind, and he dies

    in there, I still feel truly sorry I ever took him to she her,and still regret it to this day.

     

    So what are your regrets, should never have gotten married,retired too late,..........

    everybody has a regret.

    regards worgeordie

     

     

     

     

     

    Hard to follow.  Which one did he screw, Yvonne or Sylvia?  Which one did he marry?

    Democrats raise concerns about U.S. Postal delays ahead of election

    Democrats raise concerns about U.S. Postal delays ahead of election

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats in Congress on Wednesday said reported delays in mail deliveries in some U.S. cities could jeopardize delivery of ballots ahead of next week's presidential election.

     

    U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington late Tuesday ordered the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to release daily reports on mail deliveries, participate in daily court conferences and take other steps to ensure timely delivery of ballots.

     

    He directed USPS distribute guidance to workers by Thursday of the need to ensure "completed ballots reach the appropriate election official by the state's designated deadline."

     

    House Oversight and Reform Committee chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said Postal "delays are now jeopardizing the delivery of election mail, so I encourage all Americans who have not yet voted to vote in person or use designated election drop boxes."

     

    USPS spokesman Dave Partenheimer said the Postal Service is complying with Judge Sullivan's order. "We take all of our legal obligations very seriously."

     

    USPS does not recommend mailing ballots less than seven days before state deadlines. Some states accept ballots if postmarked by Nov. 3, while others require receipt by Election Day.

     

    Last Friday, USPS told Sullivan it returned 137 mail processing machines to service since August and approved thousands of daily extra or late delivery trips.

     

    Lawmakers heavily criticized Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a Trump donor who took over in June, for cost-cutting organizational changes adopted in July including eliminating extra deliveries. A USPS inspector general audit report released last week said those changes were a factor in delayed deliveries. DeJoy suspended changes in August.

     

    Four U.S. judges, including Sullivan, have issued injunctions barring USPS from making service reductions.

     

    USPS said it has delivered more than 100 million blank or completed ballots since early September.

     

    Record numbers of voters are casting ballots by mail instead of in person because of the coronavirus pandemic, but President Donald Trump has repeatedly said, without providing evidence, that mail voting would lead to widespread fraud.

    Well, the Dems were the ones who pushed that voting in person would mean certain death.

    De Joy was appointed by Trump to specifically hold up mail in ballots to increase his chances of winning the election by any and every means possible .I am hoping that Biden wins by a landslide to show Trump just how much US citizens hate him .

    The GOP SHOULD HAVE IMPEACHED HIM and now so many Republicans Senators are going to pay the ultimate price by being kicked out of office .

    Trump was impeached.

    More tourists! Second batch of Chinese STV tourists plus businessmen arrive in Bangkok

    You may call me cynical but somehow I believe that NONE of these Chinese arrivals are actual tourists. They ALL are coming for some sort of business. Only that would explain why they would willingly put up with 14 days quarantine.

     

    The prospect of being able to afterwards spend up to 6 months in Thailand is NOT something that would attract a bona fide tourist. Chinese tour groups in the past typically only spent between 6 and 10 days in the country, simply because employees just don't get that much paid leave from their companies.

     

    I don't think they're all quarantining.  Two days after the first such announcment a while back, I saw Chinese tourists in CM after having not seen them for months.  My guess is brownn envelopes.

    Warning to ever-trumpers: 

    Chuck is coming for you. First say bye-bye to the filibuster then hello to an expanded SC. Hopefully we will be able to greet Justices Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley just to see the faces of the trump base!????

    SURVEY: Who will win the US Presidential Election?

    Article behind paywall, so quoted entirety.

     

    A lower court judge had agreed with Democrats and civil rights groups, who argued the coronavirus pandemic and an accompanying surge in mail voting required accommodations for voters and to ensure ballots are counted. The Republican National Committee, the Wisconsin Republican Party and the state’s majority-GOP legislature intervened, and earlier this month a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit reinstated the requirement that mail ballots be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

     

    Liberal tears are just starting.

     

    Enthusiasm for Trump is off the charts.

     

    Trump will win both the electoral vote and the popular vote.
