Im also noticing homeless people, proper ones, i dont see in town anymore. Dunno where theyve gone or how theyre surviving as the bins and ashtrays are empty pretty much. Yeah theyre the typically mentally ill forgotten people, but theyre still people.
There's a homeless bloke wandering the streets of Yap Hoon. He used to dine at all the fine establishments in town. Now he just takes the scraps from the local bakery. How the mighty have fallen on hard times.........

I wasnt making any form of fun towards those without. Im reffering to proper mentally ill persons living on the streets. So not people able to not easily return to normal life, but the proper distanced from society. Not to sound rude, but, they cant even get a shower or shave from a shelter at the moment, no temp accomodation, at the moment. Cooked meals are takeaway. People are people.

He usta eat anything, sad to see a bloke go down hill so fast. Reduced to eating Cake of all things. Although he has developed a taste for it lately.

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Not shaving or showering is part of my social distancing strategy. Works good as.


Your right mate, there’s a whole group at massive risk, many with serious issues.
