Chimes to ring out at 3pm tomorrow

Post by Dinksy »

Council are calling on everyone in Pompey to sing out their hearts. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. What a brilliant idea!

Perhaps the words should be...

Stay Home Pompey, Pompey Stay Home

If this brings even a little pleasure to people and everyone stays a social isolated distance apart then I am right behind this idea however, isn't this what the Italians did Dinksy? Just saying.

Sorry, not the council but various other institutions in Portsmouth.
Here's what the News said:
"It was first suggested on Twitter by Blues youngster Haji Mnoga
In a rallying call now backed by Portsmouth International Port, Portsmouth Guildhall and the Spinnaker Tower, Mnoga said on Twitter: ‘This island of ours has seen some amazing things. At this time let’s stand tall again, with our football club at the heart.
‘We want to come together and share love and support to all suffering, not only from corona but all those fighting their fight.
‘At 3pm on Saturday 28 let’s fill the city air with the Pompey Chimes.
‘Find a window, a garden, some open air and somewhere safe and sing with the city. Play up Pompey.’

Portsmouth International Port director, Mike Sellers, has vowed to ask ships at the port to sound their horns in response to Mnoga’s plea."

What a great initiative from the 17-year-old Haji. Proud to be from Pompey.
I don't know about Italy, GB, but the Spanish had their thing and this is ours. That's all.
Would love to be there to take part but got a mate who is going to record it.

That would be depressing. Maybe a non de plume of an existing user wanting to spice things up a bit?

Maybe a couple of old grumpy grumps on here are suffering a bit of cabin-fever and need to cheer themselves up in another way apart their obsession with my posts.
Here are some suggestions:
- watch some funny cats videos on You Tube
- or re-runs of Friends
- or MP and the Holy Grail
- read your positive feedback on eBay
- browse through an old photo album
- play Take Your Pick with someone

Or just smile. It releases endorphins and can prompt a positive chain-reasction.
Have a happy day chaps :D

leaving aside some of the above posts. I don't have clue what the problem was. Did anything happen in Portsmouth at 3pm yesterday. Didn't hear anything here.
