'The good morning thread' and people are posting postmeridian.

Is this a question of standards?
Has the brain amoeba reached these shores?
Is it another dastardly symptom of Covid-19?
Will a trip to Barnard Castle confirm a diagnosis?
Does the PM have an action plan to address the issue?
Just how worried should we be?

It scares the h3ll out of me to think that those so afflicted can still drive high performance cars!

Worried of this parish.........

Afternoon.

Thems is false idols, Mark. He comes on Tuesdays. Mostly. Unless he forgets. Maybe yours is a forgetful Saint Bin.

In our part of the world, we put out our offerings on Tuesday night, and by Wednesday morning they are gone, apart from a few scatterings from the offerings to show the faithful where he has been and where he is going next.
(A bit like when Santa only eats half his biscuit and Rudolph only eats half his carrot.)

We're East Anglian Orthodox Binnites. I suspect the differences are subtle. A multi-faith Church of the Unholy Mess, with enclaves for the various factions, night reveal slight modifications to the form of belief, but what a fascinating study for theologists inquisitive as to where the faiths merged and how those differences have magnified over the years.

We don’t have “St Bin men” in Oz.
We have St Bins Ladies - so dedicated to the cause, that they tattoo the entire map of their Australian suburb on themselves so they don’t forget their route.
Here’s ours on duty.

If anyone mentions “trash” there maybe repercussions.

Morning all and sad to say but the virus on the rise here and it will be mask wearing pretty well everywhere outside of your own home shortly.
Today I'm going to continue removing glue from a Oak floor that someone covered with vinyl probably 40 years ago.
Stay Safe all.
On the rise here too mate.....3 in 24hours....from zero.
Next week.....hundreds.
Good luck with the floor!

Morning all. Off to look at a nursery for Joseph this morning so a bit of WFH before off to the office this afternoon.

Watching the Covid spread in France with interest for obvious reasons....

Good Morning Everyone, being a devout Mercuriist, St Bin's Day was dutifully and beautifully observered today. Very humbling. The men in yellow and orange collected the green and the brown. All hail their chariot, Dennis.

Other than that WFH, few Team meetings and generally farting around on the internet...

Apologise for being a bit absent of late, the move to the new workshop has been a massive task. Opening on Monday with a full book and a rather nice 246 Dino in to look forward too.

A thank you to Zep whom has given up his last two weekends mucking in for the cause.

Is Sm going vertically integrated? Buy your car via the SM garage, fix and upgrade through the SM garage and SM forum and then SM Garage can sell them for You? And end to end solution for Maserati owners!

That which is called the Religion existed among the Ancients, and never did not exist, from the beginning of the Human Race until various infidels came in the flesh, at which time modern religion, which already existed began to be called by many names but ever since the first demand to pick up your rubbish there has been St Bin, and it came to pass that those modern Religions deemed days of observance that have been varied and many but unto all those that follow the true path that day is Thursday

I think I have met my match! Cannot get the blighter to lift out of the ground. Stuck tighter than a nun’s virginity!
