Some things the supply chain literally can't produce because of shortages related to COVID. I'm a beverage salesperson and we pick and choose what cans to sell right now because of the aluminum shortage.

However, it should be noted that there's a banner at the top which has snuck its way through the block. I have had to block a separate element to keep it hidden.
But generally, adds bring income for a place so they've always been here.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Check your extensions through your settings in Chrome.
If you don't have those, you can search for them in google and install them from their extensions page. They should activate almost immediately. And the best part, you can easily adjust settings to show a few adds or none at all.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Icy streets. Went out earlier to the shop for milk and the local paper. Normally it's a fifteen minute walk there and back.
This morning? Forty minutes. And I almost fell on my backside three times.
It was so bad, I had to walk in the actual road rather than the pavement.sigpic
Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Thanks, FH! I'll do that now.
UPDATE: I put on the Adblocker Plus, and it worked. Thanks for the suggestion!Last edited by imzadi35; 25 January 2021, 09:26 AM.Turas Sábháilte, Baile Sábháilte

I read a news story a couple of days ago about how the cops in London were called to break up an illegal gathering of - wait for it - over four hundred people.
It was a wedding reception being held in a school. All the windows had been blacked out and/or boarded up so no one could see in.
Questions need to be asked, like how the people gained entry into the building in the first place.
But the big question I want answered is this - how big a family must the bride and/or groom come from if there's 400 people at the wedding?
I did a few calculations last night before I went to bed, and even taking into account the wedding band, the caterers and so forth, I'm just over 100 bodies.sigpic

Big weddings are a normality in a lot of cultures. I mean, when my sister-from-another-mother got married, she held a feast in her home village in Roumania and everyone was invited to come....and come they did. (this was pre-covid)Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
