    So? Loads of capacity in hospitals.

    In fairness, remember you're chatting to Magic. One of the only people I've ever experienced with zero redeeming features as a human being. If he thought it would give him enough of a lol he'd fill the hospitals and dance on the corpses.

    But he cries like a little bitch and wants everyone to take pity on him when things aren't going well for him.

    There's baking in the degree of risk, and there's going out the first day they reopen and was dubbed 'Super Saturday' to make people go extra nuts.

    I've spoken to a load of friends who've said things like "not yet, give it a couple of weeks". What tangible difference will there be in another 2 weeks that will make going to the pub better? If anything, the R's going to be worse.

    Just pick one you know has a good chance of not being full of cunts and you should be fine.

    See post above. There's little logic in that.

    But the mongs will go to specific places. They won't suddenly all rock up at pubs they've never visited in their lives.

    And in two weeks the pubs will be better equipped to manage foot traffic. Although the constant McDonald pile-ups at the drive-thru's probably shoot that theory in the arse.

    They're never going to manage that very well as they're dealing with pissed people. It's going to be up to the patrons to do it. So pick the right pub and that's a lot easier. Not a chance, for example, would I have gone to Soho last night.

    Pubs up here started doing take-away pints a couple of weeks ago, and most people seemed to be buying them and then drinking them outside the pub or in the park. Drinking in public places is banned in Glasgow but there seemed to be a bit of a blind eye being turned.

    There was a slight uptick to the usual amount of 18 year olds trashing the place and pissing everywhere so in the most pointless measure ever they're banning the sale of alcohol for consumption off premises from Monday.

    Which is the same day that beer gardens open. Glasgow's beer garden capacity is paltry at the best of times so I'm really not sure they've thought this one through.

    Dublin went mental last night as expected. Everyone was just knacker drinking in the streets because they could only stay in the pub for the 105 mins.

    That's the one advantage from the IPA pubs in town. They're never full and the people in there are in it for the beer wankery, rather than the standard wankery. And you're only in for two because everything is overpriced and 14%.

    Make every pub that and see what it does to A&E admissions.

    Pubs here were busier second weekend than the first, and continue to be very busy most nights by all accounts. No virus though.

    Did end up having a few in a pub but not my local and took the sesh to a house at about 6 so hard to judge the corona state of play. Bless 'em they did try with their arrows and contact forms but let's just say compliance was lacking It's all well and good hoping a second wave won't come if we social distance but I now see why they fret about nightlife, it all goes out the window. The wave will come and they'll shut them down again.

    Add to that the idea anyone getting contacted might go, "Withheld number? Fucking scammers." I'm assuming the govt tracers chuck texts out as well, mind.

    Let’s needlessly go to B&Q and lick each other’s faces down the pub on super Saturday, but so long as we clap at 5 o’clock it’s grand. That fucking shit should have been killed off weeks ago once it was shown nobody really gives a fuck.

    The vast majority of that will go to people who don't need it. My friend in America bought another guitar with his stimulus cheque.

    Depressions kill in huge numbers. Killing businesses, making unemployment even worse and depriving people of their liberty may well reduce Covid cases, but what's the point if every tall building is raining people and the hospitals are fucked because no cunt has paid tax in 2 years?

    Depression my hole. 99% of claimed cases are just lazy cunts and only making little of the ones that are really depressed. It’s only a fashion these days.

    My current thing to get wound up by on Twitter is blue ticks (almost always nicely off, with secure jobs in nice houses with family around them) self-righteously declaring that THEY won't be off to the pubs until it's SAFE.

    Try living in a shitbox flat on an estate, or having to go work in a shit job every day, or having lost your job, or being on your own, or being in a strained relationship at home etc etc and being lectured by these Lib Dem voting cunts.

    Sounds like the pub I was even worse than Taz's when it came to the regulations. Nobody asked me for any of my details, at any point.

    The fundamental problem with that as well is that they're not going to be safe from Covid-19, nothing that involves people is going to be safe from Covid-19.

    Haven't quite a few of the scientific advisors said they think it's too soon for everything to be opening up the way it is?

    Scientific advisors are always going to say that. At some point you need to just go ahead when the balance of risk is right (not when there's no risk, or it's see you in 2050).

    I've seen 1 doing that. My wife's cousin has been babied well into her 20's and moved out in February. She's been using her anxiety as an excuse to break the lockdown rules since its inception.

    On the other hand, I deal with a lot of people with Mental Health issues in my line of work. Some I suspect made up, some genuine. All of them that I've spoken to are staying at home, refusing to let their kids go back to school, etc.

    It also took them how many months to recommend face masks and were also claiming large gatherings weren't much of an issue. They're fucking useless.
