So help me God…. A Staycation is NOT a holiday in the same country you live in. That’s been happening for ever. It didn’t need a name. A Staycation is a holiday where you stay at your own home and do holiday things from there (visit museums, attractions in your own town etc.).

There is something wrong with a church that has more American flags than crosses. When the flag is more prominent than the cross, you are worshipping America, not Jesus. pic.twitter.com/VK1f0dCinV

Why aren’t we surrounded by ads normalising masks? Masks with club crests on them, or band names, or Cath Kidson designs? Why aren’t we seeing the words "Brought to you by the MASK MARKETING BOARD”? Posters of masked celebs? Shouldn’t that be happening?

In Charlie and the chocolate factory Grandpa Joe does absolutely nothing for years and then gets to go to a chocolate factory. The moral of the story is if you can't be bothered today it'll probably just work itself out anyway.

Most weekends, we admit somebody to ITU because they’ve had too much to drink, we need to put a tube into their windpipe to stop them choking on their vomit until they sober up. They’re fairly easy to manage and usually go home the next day…

When the pubs open on Saturday please remember to be safe. When the first pint is dropped it will create a WAHEY that has been stored in people's mouths for 4 months, it will be so loud it will shatter windows and set off car alarms for miles. Stay vigilant.
