The Rule Of Six And J R-M

[grumpy01]

How will Jacob Rees-Mogg manage having all his six children at home.Will he send a couple to grandparents or risk a visit from the Covid wardens.

[Mamyalynne]

Not for the first time today someone totally misunderstands the rule.

[DTCwordfan]

true - but the Scots have a point in making kids under the age of 12 exempt from the gruppenfuehrer control.....

[Deskdiary]

I could be wrong, but I suspect grumpy’s tongue was wedged firmly in his cheek.

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, I keep forgetting News has changed in the way people use it.

[HansUrbancka]

It certainly has Mamyalynne

Hans.

[grumpy01]

You know me too well Deskdiary.

In best London cabby voice:

"You'll never guess who I had in the back of my cab the other day - Henry VIII! I said two of them wives'll have to get out, mate - shut him right up..."

[ichkeria]

Ah the rule of six. Isn’t it the rule of 15 (down from 30) in N Ireland?
Or is that Scotland?

[fiction-factory]

Yes, the Scots and welsh governments always making sure they tweak things slightly from what the English propose. Any queries about inconsistencies should be addressed there

[fiction-factory]

I like that one, jim. Could you he hear what you were saying though through that mask and plastic screen

[douglas9401]

Rules schmules, let's get castle viewing to bring clarity to the vision of a return to normality.

[Old_Geezer]

They are banned to the stables for the duration :-)

[jno]

his whole family is isolating at the moment... I expect they have at least six houses, though.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah - - no
in the spirit of reinterpreting treaties
he will reinterpret his family as follows

on wednesday and visit days - the last two children are dogs. they must be that I leave them at the pub on a regular basis

ter daahh ! - liquidised mush of advice on Downing Colleges statutes forbidding the Master to keep a dog
"The masters dog is a cat" - Glazebrook apparently
and .....the last two prime ministers little foibles

[Peter Pedant]

damit someone has got there before me
banished to the stables

as they said of the Dook of wellington
or he of himself
the fact that a man is born in a stable doesnt make him a horse
( Wellington was born in Merrion house just oppo where the Teashack has his little maison = Dubins Downing st to you proles you have no idea who wellington was (*))

(*) the ed has told me that the proportion of ABers who think (45%) that wellington ended the Great War in 1915 wivda battle of waterloo ( sarf lundy of course) is holding steady at just under 50%

[youngmafbog]

So jno, where are these six houses?

[johnny.5]

I thought it was Washington that ended the great war

[roopower]

Why pick on him, there are couples with far ore children than that

[jno]

lol, ymb, lighten up, it's Saturday morning. The bit about them isolating was true, though, one of them's tested positive.
