So Nice To See Sturgeon Get It In The Neck For A Change.

[Paigntonian]

Though I can't help but think it was an unintentional mistake and the pious posturing of others is contrived.

[emmie]

about not wearing a mask for a bit.

[emmie]

if this is what you meant.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Loved the bit where she said she is kicking herself for what she did. Made me think of the scene in Airplane where people queue up to hit a passenger. Form a queue but please stay 2 meters apart and wear your mask.

I don't really think that anyone can claim that at some time or another have forgot to put their mask on. I know I have now and again , walked into a shop, and within a few seconds realized, the shutter speed of the media is very very quick.

What's the Gaelic for schadenfreude?

[emmie]

no idea, but perhaps this was a one off..

[Pete65]

A moment of forgetfulness.
It happens.

[emmie]

like the ones who would have gone ballistic if this had been Boris

In Gaelic it's aighear-truaighe

"What's the Gaelic for schadenfreude?"

Don't know about Gaelic but in Scots, ill-willie.

[emmie]

put it down to a momentary lapse.

[smurfchops]

Yes it is so easy to forget to put it on. Made me laugh though.

[Ellipsis]

"Ill-willie", perfect!

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Emmie - you're too nice. We're just having a bit of fun but have to admit she does irritate me at times.

[emmie]

i dislike her intensly - not being nice just giving her the benefit of the doubt.

[royfromaus]

It's actually a meh! moment really.
I think her downfall is her own pious posturing on COVID.


As I said on Sparkly's thread...many people are just paying lip service to mask-wearing.

[smurfchops]

Those high heels just do not suit her. She is just not the type. Always reminds me of The Crankies.

[douglas9401]

The Diminutive One was merely giving her subjects a rare glimpse of her radiant smile to help dispel the gloom currently all around us.

Her constant upbeat demeanour has been a tonic for the clans these past nine months and we're grateful for her tireless endeavour.

Or something.

She may yet sack herself. :-)
