Living on a small Scottish island i think people need to slow down with travelling, all it will take is one person from the mainland to travel to the islands and it could be devastating as most of the population is older. I don't think the tourists or any government realise that but starting to open up travel again could destroy small island like this but tourists never think like that as long as they get to come and see some nice views.. Rant over. Hope all is good with yourself? :)

Same boat here. Not in Scotland, but my area is only safe for as long as we can keep the english tourism away! My beaches are going to be rammed next week and i fear we are going to have our safety bubble popped.

I live somewhere on the south coast England , Thursday we had an estimated half a million people on our sandy beaches can’t Evan go fishing anymore

I feel for you guys,but hordes of tourists have never been much of a problem here in Doncaster for some reason.

Its just so deafening that areas can work as hard as they need to to keep people safe and then all off a sudden tourists start coming and we have no say in the matter. As long as the tourist industry makes money no one seems to care about the locals, same way it has always been unfortunately.

We should all go on a mass riot. Middle age and middle class too, ha ha. Or everyone just go out and sit outside, that suits my pace better.
That's me starting the movement off outside, - it's looking like I might be on my own. But it's a slimmer pre lockdown image of me really, but if course you guys guessed that already.
I need to sort the skin out on my feet yuch.

But hey I can touch my toes.....

Honestly, my axe is blunt from swinging it over this!! Its made the Celtic alliance stronger than ever!! I feel for you my cornish cousins!!!

Yeah but we can still relax more with our usual bit of help.
My predictive text was going to say with our usual support but that's not what stoners do it for.
And yes I think the mass tourists and tourism was not tooooooooo clever.
:) deep breath ):
But many thanks to the supply on here over the 6 months , cheers for keeping it going guys!!
I have to admit it spooked me when the reports of the pandemic started - just seeing those HAZMAT suits and things, my very old Dad sent us all an email to say that we should all just stay in lockdown and live with it ""People suffered and endured worse during the war..." and then there was another one about war time rationing comparing it to the mass panic buying of food and toilet rolls. He has a point but it was an embittered rant so I cast it from my mind asap. But we can't resist a drink, a smoke and a good gathering it seems.
Although why did some people drive 200 miles to look at something (I forget what the purpose was but there were several stories like this), when if course they would get caught cos they were the only cars on the road. The cops can see you with their eyes without needing ANPR.
Lockdown certainly made me even more lazy and unfit, I have anxiety about what legitimate excuses I can find to come up with now things are easing and both Uber eats and deliveroo can still deliver food and groceries , with still some special offers out there. (Yes shameful I know :) but I dont drive, lame yes but it's all I can summon up in the darkness of this night.
As for panic buying ( weeeee I'm flying now), yeah people have the right to ensure they had enough food to last, but I wonder how many panic buyers considered their fellow man (AND WOMAN - before I get shouted at lol.
Finally I wonder if they have had to scale down toilet roll production to until the toilet mountain is diminished.
Who knows ?
Who can tell?

CONTINUE TO STAY SAFE STONED HAPPY AND WELL GUYS...AND DOLLS.

The shops, cafes pubs and barbers are now open, albeit with restrictions-- but what more does one need?

And now they're all closed again. I think hibernation might be a cool move this winter,guys.

I wonder if they are taking lots of toilet roll with them ? They cant have used it already? The sewers or the beaches will skid to a halt.
Oh god sorry that sounded so much more funnier in my head. If enough people complain I will take it down :( :(

Shelves in my supermarket are empty again due to the increase of tourists to my area. Before any change in welsh travel rule. So god help us next week! Durdle Door - Part 2 ...Welsh Edition!

Hiya matey nice to hear from you again. Hope your spirits are high, well as something else lol.

Hi - well where has everyone gone? Are people so bored of everything cos of lockdown and can't respond or write anything here on lb? Lol.
We need to keep our sense of humour going, in between getting stoned of course.
I like this picture Ive just found. I wonder what stoned bees sound like in thier hive after getting wasted haha.

I do not know how bees like to be stone (e.g. Sativa or Indica preference?) but I saw once a spider stone on tv, and the net it was making was not the same than before....
You are right, sense of humour and laughing are key in life :)

Perfection at its best lol

No comments from anyone?

I think you are right that its viewed are a drug rather than something with medical properties. Sadly this is unlikely to change unless the people who run the country change their mindset....stuff like this filters from top to bottom sadly.

Do you think Boris and his lot have a more open mindset for this sort of thing? Or is it just wishful thinking?

I honestly think boris does...bendy buses and bikes everywhere in London always made me think he was aiming for a UK version of Amsterdam....but i think the rest of the big wigs are against it....lord inky knows why tho because there is so much money to be made from taxation alone....baffling really

Each to their own mate, If all our tastes were the same we would all be lusting after the same woman. Definitely strange though, maybe try the opticians.

Yeah perhaps its specsavers to the rescue. :):)

My best fantasies are about Debbie Harry - sown into my mind at the young age of 11 when I saw her on tv just wearing a black bin bag......... I still have those. Mmmmmm yeah nice thoughts.

Now thats way better. When I was a boy Debbie was the first woman I noticed in that way.

Yeah me too!!

Seriously, I had a poster on my wall growing up. I went from dreaming about bikes to dreaming of Debbie.

A perfectly good transition there. I kept many "Smash Hits" pictures and articles of her (and the group blondie if course.). The music was pretty good too. Please God can someone save me from hell and damnation by posting a picture of Debbie Harry???

Without trying to make lb into a "lads" magazine, this is a sexy photo totally - plus it shows I haven't completely lost any taste .
Can you guess who they are?? Lol.

Not got a clue mate, I’m not exactly clued up on young women, getting old. Debbie Harry’s children maybe.

Here is the lady herself..... she oozes sexuality mostly without trying :)

ill have whatever you’re smoking!!

Mmmm yes my thoughts go long and wild for a time before totally mellowing out. That's what happens to me.

Horses for courses man lol

How about Nicola Sturgeon?

Oh God no !! Now I'm a tormented soul ha ha. Nicola Sturgeon nooooo!!!! That just adds to the nightmare. I need therapy. :) :) :)

pahahahaha!

Is there a way of permanently deleting images from lb --- that photo must be erased asap. IRS been good therapy though - I no longer have lustful thoughts about Susan Boyle and looking at and mentioning Debbie Harry further down has helped too. Phew.

I’ve really liked your photographs up till now but that is wrong on so many levels. Sturgeon is just Jimmy krankie with hair dye. I am now awaiting the abuse from her cult members. Burn the witch.

Oh ok man why is everyone torturing me. But I guess I did open my big mouth but was kinda hoping some of you guys would help rather than mock.

Only kidding I think it's working already lol. :):):)

When addicts inject in the arms and legs they leave a track up the arm or leg and that's referred to track marks hence the name trainspotting perfectly named movies a love trainspotting as a ex addict and from Scotland i can relate to the film, its also not far from the true,,,,

trainspotting is the act of finding veins through which to inject heroin. Awesome films though particularly the original. Absolutely groundbreaking in 1996! Excellent soundtrack too... Iggy Pop - Lust for Life. Fuck yeah

Oh thanks for that. Good stuff. And oh yes it was s brilliant film and brilliant soundtrack. That music was great combined with the film when watched on the large screen. For some odd reason I liked the psycho Begby I think his screen name was called he was completely off his head but still good to watch from a distance, I wouldn't like to cross him on real life.

Thankfully I've never taken heroin or injected anything!!

I've been caught smoking in the wc and was thrown off the train at the next stop :)

Not a train, but edibles work well for me on a plane mate :). Had an infused chocolate coffee bean on my last trip over the Atlantic. Was blissful! Depends how long your train ride is I suppose! Love been blazed watching the English countryside on a train though! Can see why you want to do it, I’m normally stoned before even getting on

I thought trainspotting was a word for doing heroin?! Don’t quote me on that though. Fun films though. Love the grow room in the 2nd

Love trains,hate that fucking movie with a passion. I wouldn't even try and smoke on UK trains. Vaping,on the other hand has been no problem

'A Place Beyond the Pines'

'Out of the Furnace'

"Prisoners'

"Wind River'

Really gritty American dramas. I can't get enough of these kind of films, something Hollywood does really well.

Cheers. BB

Wind River is such an under-rated film. It's tense and and worth the payoff....won't say much more, however if you liked The Unforgiven, you should like this.

out of the furnace is so undderated, christian bale a master at work in this one.

Stigmata
Drop dead Fred
Jungle
Lion
Kevin and Perry go large

'Withnail and I' does it for me every time. I think when i first watched it, seeing these 2 guys (for example) drinking lighter fluid and offending country folk in the local tea rooms. Was so Simple really but executed so well. And so british! Twin Town is another favourite after I've had some strong smoke. T

I watched it for the first time ever during lockdown. Lived it. Lived the ending too. 'Withnail and I that is. I saw a lot of comedy and heard the simple minds classic again or rather watched live videos of it - :Dont you forget about me" .

The acid house ( if you are coming down lol )
Up in smoke ( to laugh )
Shawshank redemption ( just awesome )
Human traffic ( for remembering the goop old rave days )

Pusher (trilogy)
The Subway
Oldboy is good too

The Gentlemen Guy Ritchies best one since snatch Frikin awsome!

Kid cannabis,pirates of Silicon Valley,the falklands play,king of comedy,jfk,the untold history of the United States (documentary series)

Way too many films to list but il just add a quick 4 enjoyable movies during lock down

1. The Other Guys (gives me the giggles always)
2. RockNroller - Guy Richie
3. V for Vendetta
4. WAR (Jet Li / Jason Stratam)

I love The Other Guys!

Mark Whalberg having a go at Will Ferrell is so bloody funny!

They should do another film together.

Cheers. BB

Snowpiercer, cracking film from the director of Parasite.

the lighthouse - change your mind about pattinson and defoe amazing

the dead dont die - best zombie movie ever made by jarmusch

Actually I've just also watched "The Good the Bad and the ugly ", in a quest to watch something funny. It's not always funny I guess but I love the spaghetti westerns so I'm watching all of the ones I can find. Clint Eastwood is a fine actor. The music in these films is fantastic
I just love them.

Casey Afflek is brilliant in it too, as is Woody Harleson. Just a great all round movie and yes, very underrated.

Cheers BB

the scene where the love of his life is pregnant with another mans child and his reaction - haunting cinema. casey was amazing in manchester by the sea, he's well better than ben anyways lol

We watched Life of Brian the other day, first time in a while, & it's still a cracker! Very British, as you note; very sarcastic but not throwaway. EasyMe33 suggested Oldboy, which is a good movie but maybe not while stuck in isolation! I could waffle for ages about movies cos I love them but I'll throw in Twin Peaks the Return, if you can get it. That is a Mindbender & long enough to keep you both engaged physically and mentally, no matter how long this Covid thing lasts!!! Good luck to you all! ;-)

Watch some Korean films ;)

I've led a sheltered life -- what are Korean films like?

Check out 'Parasite'. I had no idea what to expect and it blew me away. Absolute masterpiece. Dark, so dark, hilarious and beautifully shot

The best mate. If you don't mind subtitles

Ok mate I'll look on the web for some .....

I saw the devil

Oldboy.

The wailing.

Handmaiden

The chaser.

Just a few Goodies

this list wins for me. the wailing is maybe the best horror ive ever seen, and so so funny.

Recommended by Guillermo del Toro himself!

the master. first blueray i ever saw was pans labryinth, man was that a good decision haha

the bit at the start with the policeman gettng rocks rthrown at him had my household in hysterics

The wailing is in my top 3 films ever. It transcends genres. I was thinking about this film and it's meaning two weeks after watching it.

Glad you liked it.

Yellow sea.

Sympathy of Mr vengeance

Lady vengeance.

Three more to add to the list.

Cheers bud.

Anyone watch the "Chernobyl " series on Amazon?
It's dark and you have to be in the right mood to watch it but I certainly loved it

Was good mate, real interesting watch

Freddy got fingered!

I've heard of that film but never watched it. Is it a comedy?

I have to admit to watching the "Carry on " films too. I've been looking for more and more tv and film stuff to watch and I've just watched " carry on camping" and the one about hospitals -- carry on matron I think it was called, but my head gets boggled with staying at home. (With a ton of chocolate!!), all the time. Mind fog I think it's called. It took me a while this morning to realise it is in fact Monday.
But yeah please share your stories about staying in and watching films / tv / getting mashed etc.

I think you answered your own question :P

I used to watch that in the summer holidays usually on at 9.30 after The Pink Panther show the kids on it were annoying cunts and usually were from Newcastle or Belfast.
Only decent film ive watched lately was Trolls World Tour and that's a serious trip after a smoke or 3.

Haha. I've freaked myself out before watching horror when stoned. Have to watch some Peppa pig or something afterwards to chill lol.
I've watched loads whilst on lockdown. Gangs of London probably the highlight. Just started the capture. That's pretty good so far.

I don't have one but surely the covering up of the face is the best part of them? It's also the reason why they will end up being discouraged because the authorities don't like it haha

I remember when the cctv went up on my estate back in the early 90s! (whole estate got those big posts with cams on, every single street covered). We got taught from a young age to always cover our face... although after a while everyone gave up and just accepted that they were going to be recorded everywhere they go.

I wont buy a facemask because of corona but I might well buy one to cover my face. I have no reason to cover my face but the fact I have been getting watched and recorded since the age of 6/7 has left me a little conscious about it all.....

I've got a fairly comfortable cotton mask with replaceable filters from ebay, which I'll wear in shops or on public transport. Before I got that I used a bandana, which got me a few funny looks, but needs must! I work in a hospital so I've got a mask on 12 hours a day in work plus maybe another hour or 2 outside - feels like the only times I don't have one on are when sleeping or smoking.

I see a widow's vengeance tale here

Can you elaborate on that? Your comment is an interesting one!! I wonder what you mean.

Ok but cannabis use predates ya Jesus


PS love your work

How can we further cripple the lower class?

Take away the chances of prosperity

New regulations to enable co workers to travel together

Ha ha yes good one. We may be seeing chairs of varying descriptions on the top of cars - or even buses. But I see many things when I've had a long toke session. I've noticed too my memory goes during these hazy afternoons, but all is ok when I'm in my normal state. How about you guys?? Tell me of your own experiences, funny or sad, back, white or coloured.

Tbh I cant remember much lol, been burying the head in the music production for a distraction...

3 blades father son and holy shit you are as stoned as i am

Ha ha you have really made me laugh. Yes I'm as stoned as shit. Amazing how being stoned gives me a different perspective on things. I'm currently munching my way through a pack if chocolate biscuits........

have you been stealing picnic baskets again

Oh yeah - I've hoarded loads just in case I cant get to the shop - I'm so stoned I've list the ability to walk.......

I've noticed Uber have added grocery shops so I can order munchies on demand and they leave it at my front door.... fucking hell it's like having a magic goblin......

I was 9 or 10 when first watching it and all I remembered from that first viewing was biggus dickus lmao.
HE HAS A WIFE YOU KNOW

Fuck I love this film, I could quote it all day long

Where did you get hold of short video clips of the life of Brian from?

YouTube :)

ha yes thanks for that but i should have guessed that lol

If you want to watch the film it's on sharemega.com:)

nice one thanks. its amazing though - I'm quite forgetful these days but i can recite and remember every second of the film. And "The Holy Grail" of course. I have watched "The meaning of Life" a few times, but i never really thought much of that one. I have a "sick" sense of humour so i like the bit where the man says hes healed he was blind but now he could see - then falls into the hole. I doubt i need to elaborate on that scene any further, i think you will remember it quite clearly. But ive got to watch the film now I've started going on about it... ha ha...

Blazing saddles is very funny and dark

I'm the same with python mate the films really are part of my childhood, after learning the meaning of the words it just got more and more funny as 8v got older. Now I laugh when watching the but I look for the meaning behind the jokes now. My sense of humour is also sick and very twisted like even stuff iv gone through in the past an what I'm going through now love hearing dark twisted shit about it. I find if I didn't laugh about that shit I'd cry but with the humour it really dose heal.

Fuck yeah me too.

Preaching to choir here brother lol

Ha ha yes that's got to be true

I find it more reassuring and it "helps the cause" when a famous person backs up what we all like to do in the lb community. Or am I an optimistic dreamer?? Lol.

Thus is also true.....

Here's an interesting article about 420 -' well worth a read.

iNews: What is 420? The meaning behind 'weed day' - and how it actually became a thing.
https://inews.co.uk/light-relief/offbeat/420-what-meaning-2020-when-date-weed-day-cannabis-uk-laws-2542301

Good read.

I remember going on a cannabis march in London, must've been in the late 90s, and sitting in a circle on the pavement outside a window with a Mclaren F1 in it on what I think was Mayfair, playing cards (shit head) while smoking a massive blunt with all my mates.

We even got interviewed by a random news channel.

Such anarchists we were ;)

The joys of youth! Haha.

Cheers BB
