Brings me enormous pleasure, personally.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Digging those septicaemic shoulder glyphs.

Perhaps they were travelling from island to island? Not sure how much that would cost.

Imagine going abroad the week before your partner has hospital appointments at the current time. A great way to contract asymptomatic Covid at the airport flying back and then spread it at the hospital.

From a Welsh perspective, I am hopeful that travel restrictions abroad will provide tourism revenue and partially fill the huge gap that will be left by withdrawn EU funding, post-Brexit. Then, I realised that it would mean more cunts like this fucking around our nice areas, buying more holiday homes, littering more beaches, wrecking everything.

Unsure if it's worth it.

Quote from: the bloke in the photoLee Rowell-Burton, from Manchester, says he and his wife "have had no personal contact with anyone" since arriving in Fuerteventura to fix a problem at their apartment.

"We took a private PCR test on 7 December to get here, costing £120 each, which both came back negative.

"Now we have to either self-isolate or take another test, at our own expense, after five days. Another test? That's another £120 we don't have. I'm supposed to be back to work on Monday."

Obviously I know nothing about his finances but it's a bit hard to plead poverty when you own a holiday apartment and could afford to fly out there in the first place (and pay for tests beforehand). I know they apparently went to fix some problem in their flat but did they both have to go? That would have halved the costs immediately. I mean I'm sure they wouldn't just be saying they only went because they had to fix something to cover up the fact they went on holiday.

I know this sort. Made out big during Maggie's council house sell off, but falling interest rates and inflation mean that £100k doesn't go quite as far as it did twenty years ago. The equity release firms can't believe their luck.

Should have just done a beer tour of Germany and Eastern Europe.

I am just posting for the sake of it because these sort of thing where people are amazed that rules apply to them and seem to live their lives in a vacuum really piss me off these days.

GOB II's post is more succinct though. Just read that instead.

It'll be a bit more expensive for True-Born White British Britons to go overseas on their hols, but it's not going to be much more difficult; there are loads of popular tourist places like the US or Turkey that need visas or visa waivers.

It will stop these cunts retiring overseas though, which is going to mean a nation full of furious elderlies, but not much impact on the queues at Chessington or the British Museum.
