That’s harsh on Igor
I am grateful to NHS workers - like, really, really grateful - but I'm sorry, I'm not doing this clapping. It's not about me.
I compare it to clapping pilots. You shouldn't applaud landing. It's bread and butter piloting.
My wife's employer seem to think they are going to furlough some people for three weeks, the bring them back, and furlough a different group of people for 3 weeks, bring them back etc
That isn't how it works surely?
Nope. They have to demonstrate that there is no work for whoever they are furloughing.
Lol at Hancock saying they’ve followed scientific advice throughout having left ‘self isolation’ after just the 6 days instead of 7 or 14.
Twat.
Yeah.
A man has derailed a train trying to crash into a boat that has been turned into a COVID-19 hospital because... I'm not really sure why?

Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro was charged with one count under a little known federal statute of train wrecking
Some dickhead has a vuvuzela down this street.
Same, I didn't hear any clapping but I did hear Slovenia 0-0 Algeria being re-enacted.
Firework display in my ends. Opted for the willycopter myself.
If it's going to be a weekly thing we might as well start singing songs. Sweet Caroline, Bat Out Of Hell, Crazy Frog etc.
Bat out of Hubei.
Politicians being filmed clapping in otherwise silence is making me cringe.

His wife claps like a spastic too.
My Facebook is wanking its self silly over how great they all are for clapping. You're not sea lions, you cunts.

I keep thinking of the Bono quote where he went, "Everytime I clap. A child in Africa dies."
He should have that dog taken off him and destroyed. If it's so poorly trained that it can't clap for this, what's to say it won't savage the next defenceless child it comes across?
Fuck thought the Yanks had steamrolled out tonight but fair play.

You're going to see higher mortality rates at younger ages in the U.S., because we are an exceptionally unhealthy country. Not just obesity but all kinds of heart problems and chronic illnesses.
well fuck“We had a case where a mom was already in the ICU and the daughter, who was obese, came in,” she said. “The daughter asked staff to wheel her by her mom’s room so she could say goodbye before she herself was intubated. We knew the mother was going to pass away.”
This is the kind of thing that could shake the American diet up for the better.
Hancock was sayin today on QT they're yet to find an antibody test that passes the sufficient required standards.
Niko pointed this out at the time IIRC but fam...

Transparency has been lacking about testing resources, suppliers, etc throughout this and I'm not sure there's any need for it beside covering their own arse.
I remember when they first talked about the antibody test, it screamed of bullshit.
This covers it in full, actually.

Immunity passports. Nigga stop reading my posts and passing it off as your own policy.
I've thought about that and it's an interesting one. If you haven't had it and you're in a low risk group I could see (as that article says) people would seek it out in order to leave the house.
At every turn in this the people who have behaved morally have been screwed.
Didn't behave like a cunt and stockpile toilet roll? Good luck getting any of that for a while.
Didn't behave like a cunt and stockpile food? Enjoy the scrums to get some now.
Isolated and followed the rules to the letter? Have fun staying inside for longer than those that didn't.
Nature doesn't take too kindly to socialism and all its associated fluff. But we knew this.
I don't even know if the above makes, I've gone in too deep. I'll have a wank and return in the morning.
What the fuck are you on about, Taz?
Socialism is basically an attempt to defy nature, at its basic core. In the wild world, there isn't a God to save you. In the civilised world, there is, because we've invented one called the state, but it's fragile as fuck.
Darwinism is basically a description of a market economy. Fortunately, we're fitter than most.
My colleague will be fielding the Q&A tonight.
The weather for the next five days is going to cause mayhem, especially down south I reckon.
Would have been the first beer garden of the year
The weatherboys on the news had clearly been told very sternly to wind their necks in.
They're gonna need riot police if they think I'm taking any shelter between the hours of 10:00-17:00 on Sunday.

Shenzen has banned dog and cat meat. Not sure how they'll cope on just live squid and bat anus.
Seems like enough Real Estate agents have been asking tennants to access their super to pay rent that the QLD Govenment have threatened fines of up $1 million if the practice continues.
