The famous cognitive test video and yes he’s being deadly serious. His country is being exterminated and he’s worried about his cognitive test.

Animals caught in the act and looking very guilty!

I like this statement, it’s to the point accurate and ever so worrying indeed.

I’ve no idea and am not a conspiracy theory expert. But is this one of them?

Sarah Cooper has risen to great highs with her Trump lip sync videos, if you haven’t seen them go and find them on YouTube. This tweet of hers is on the money too.

Wednesday 29 July
I am impressed, very impressed with investigative reporters, they go to the end of the earth to uncover, the cover-ups, the liars, cheats, rogues, crooks and abusers. They deserve a Nobel peace prize as far as I’m concerned.

“To give employees the ability to plan ahead, we are extending our global voluntary work from home option through June 30, 2021 for roles that don’t need to be in the office,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an email to employees.
What do Google know that we don’t yet? Scary World!
Thursday 30 July
I feel bad but I’m annoyed. A recruitment consultant wanted to connect with me. I wasn’t so sure, will he pitch me? He’s in digital so they must be good folks right? Wrong!
Within a day of connecting I get this message via LinkedIn.
Hi Michael, thanks for connecting. I’ve noticed you’re hiring for your business currently, is there any way I can help you? Very keen to work with you and get some CVs over to you :)
I called him, after all his mobile number is on his profile! After he told me that he was convinced I was hiring, he acted confused and maybe it was a mistake, my annoyance for being spammed and lied to made me rage-quit the connection.
I tagged the CEO and the Company and within minutes I got a call, which I couldn't take and probably wouldn’t have taken.
The voice message said he sent me an email on LinkedIn, of course it was an InMail inside LinkedIn. I have since blocked him as well, sorry!
Hi Michael, You came up in my search criteria due to the fact that you had your profile set to “Open to new opportunities”. I work with both clients and candidates simultaneously and today being quite a busy / challenging day — I have got my wires crossed clearly and innocently sent you the wrong message. I apologise for the mistake I’ve made but when you called me out of the blue I was juggling about 4/5 different things and I dropped the ball. I’m genuinely quite upset you’ve decided to publicly out me on LinkedIn. My livelihood depends quite often on word of mouth. That’s why I have so many recommendations on my profile stating the stellar service I provide. I very kindly ask you to remove your post naming and shaming me as it’s potentially very damaging to my livelihood. During these difficult times we need all the help we can get.
Senior Recruitment Consultant at Gold Group.
I failed in this instance, I wasn’t able to stay compassionate.
UPDATE: 4 August. The consultant contacted me by phone and left a voice message to say he found this blog post and asked me to remove it. So I removed any reference of his name and part of his title as not to expose him. I refuse to remove the company name. This kind of behaviour by recruiters is just not acceptable and has to stop. Maybe just maybe they will change their behaviour. Suggesting COVID-19, juggling too many things will not convince me. Someone pressed the invite button and someone had to type that message and press send knowing it was a lie. Enough!
I’ve learnt something today. I was wondering why I see a lot of profiles on Twitter with the pronouns ‘she/her’ in them. Anyway I googled it and this answer came up on Quora. Is it true? It sounds credible to me.
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain reported 846 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, the highest daily number in over a month, official data showed.
The data, published on the government’s website, showed the daily total was last higher on June 28, when 901 new cases were recorded.
This is not good news!
Friday 31 July
Wow the end of the month already, where has wet and cold July gone already? Well it ended with the 3rd hottest day on record in the UK.
The Lincoln project are appealing to the Republican voters who have been in a coma, what an amazing story this is!
TikTok, which I did go on for about 1 day and then came off, will be banned in the UK. Sarah Cooper had something to say about this, oh wait, I mean Donal Trump, but what did he actually say?
…NOTHING!

A Centivax Covid19 update, the guys and girls from Distributed Bio, who appeared in the Netflix Documentary Pandemic. I really respect what these folks are doing.

Oh blast, you still can’t edit your tweets on Twitter and I made a mistake. I wrote cyclers instead of cyclists!!
[embed]https://twitter.com/stayingaliveuk/status/1289573560198078465?s=21[/embed]
I cycle 3 times per week on the main roads, for exercise and it means I’m amongst the traffic. Virtually all cars pass me at full speed, even though I’m wearing a yellow vest that says: ‘POLITE NOTICE THINK BIKE’, nobody takes any notice and yes it’s very scary most of the time. When you have massive lorries passing you at full speed and the wind from those machines nearly throwing you off line, it’s not nice. I can only explain it by the fact that those drivers don’t ride a cycle on the roads and therefore have no empathy for cyclists. It sucks to be honest because it’s been the same for 43 years, the time that I’ve lived in the U.K. if they did cycle they wouldn’t behave that way because they know what it’s like. 🥴
Oh my god, every day we learn more how corrupt society and governments are. It makes me sick to think that we all pay these people.
