Another week, (our 14th in Lockdown by my maths), and another partial easing, as we enter Phase 2 in Scotland. Still no beer gardens allowed to open, which is probably for the best in terms of the blog, because I can virtually guarantee my capacity to write would diminish in almost direct correlation to theContinue reading “Monday 22nd June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Good Morning my Directors Of The Bored, we’re nearly at another weekend, and apparently Day 88 of Lockdown. I spotted it as an online ticker on a website earlier. Serves no actual purpose whatsoever. Maybe they had it up there for the same reason Big Brother stick a clock in the house for the inmates,Continue reading “Friday 19th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Morning, morning. Lots to do. Directors Of The Bored, let’s crack on. On a day where I woke up to headlines regarding arrests and scuffles in Glasgow’s George Square, I thought this time around we’d tackle it head on with some antiracism positives. Every day where there’s despair around racism, we’ll try to bring aContinue reading “Thursday 18th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Directors Of The Bored, congratulations. Once again, you’ve reached the Peak Of The Week! After lunch today, it’s easy street to another weekend. I type these sentences like they still have some resonance, but it’ll largely depend on where you are in your working life right now. Anyway, I have a blog filled with laughterContinue reading “Wednesday 17th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

My Directors Of The Bored, Good Morning to you. From time to time, as we gather more followers to the blog – (thank you for being there) – I feel a quick refresher as to WHY we’re here is a good thing to do. So here it comes. You ready? We’re here to make youContinue reading “Tuesday 16th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

My Directors Of The Bored, welcome to another week. I hope your weekend was fab. Ours rained, and we ended up doing very little and feeling slightly glum about it all, but I think that’s natural occasionally during Lockdown, and you shouldn’t beat yourself up about it. Onto, another, hopefully sunnier week, and as I’veContinue reading “Monday 15th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Good Morning my Directors Of The Bored! As the days pass, I’m starting to think I may have to spin this blog into two, with one remaining purely for laughs, and the other to try and continue the momentum currently in place for #BlackLivesMatter before it inevitably loses its premier listing in the media andContinue reading “Friday 12th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

My Directors Of The Bored, Good Morning. Let’s jump straight in. We’ve been trying to learn, and in turn, share our learnings in the hope we can become better, more understanding, compassionate individuals when it comes to racism. I like to think I’m relatively knowledgeable and considerate in this regard anyway, but I’m most likelyContinue reading “Thursday 11th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Good Morning my Directors Of The Bored, A little wet outside my window today, which means a day largely stuck indoors, finally getting round to the housework tasks I’ve been conveniently managing to postpone whilst outdoors in the better weather. The only delay tactic I have left open to me at this late stage isContinue reading “Wednesday 10th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Hello you. My Directors Of The Bored, welcome again to my little daily pick-me-up which aims to plaster a smile across your face at a time where you thought it maybe wasn’t possible. Our blog is where I curate and very occasionally create the laughs to help get you through Coronavirus. I’m here every dayContinue reading “Tuesday 9th June #LaughterSpreadsFaster”
