Fuck that.Originally Posted by Lofty
Some geezer at my wife's work has to isolate because he was going to power wash his front drive on sunday and knocked on his next door neighbours to suggest they move their car out of the way, only for the daft bitch to open the door to him and proclaim 'I have covid!'. Laddo has to burn 10 days holiday now
If he was that concerned he'd just step back from the door surely?
She told him through the medium of loud singing whilst the rest of the family were on the woodwind in accompaniment.
Assuming you have the same weird anti-singing/anti-woodwind rules we do.
You and him need to get a firm grip on yourselves. People get tested, get over it.
#SackChrisWhitty trending on Twitter.
Rightfully so too. "There'll be a lockdown in August is we go any faster". August? Fucking how? They'll be vaccinating the teenagers by then.
On site testing's starting at my office. More reason to stay at home.
I can see why we're unlocking indoor settings slowly and cautiously and waiting for a high jab level in order to do so, but why I had to tell a dad that he legally wasn't allowed to use the cricket nets with his two sons earlier today I have absolutely no idea.
What if he gave you a verbal contract that his kids were elite athletes and he was coaching them?
That'd be my answer for everything. Every. Thing.
Asymptomatic? Human rights violation.
It's picked up four cases in our other site so it's probably worth the 15 minutes of inconvenience. Especially when 2 hours of my day is now doing abso-fucking-bugger-all.
Another harrowing episode of the UCL Hospital series on BBC News at 10 tonight (time-stamped 17:45-21:25 on iplayer for those who missed it and need a wake-up call as to just how serious this all is). A nurse saying "you won't find any nurses or doctors booking holidays or pub gardens for April as they're so worried this will happen again."
I was getting complacent so it was very timely.
It's not like they could afford it anyway with their 1% pay rise.

With their President openly indifferent to their 2000 deaths per day and a quarter of a million already dead, why are Brazil being so open about their figures?
Test and Trace most wasteful and inept public spending programme of all time, says former Treasury chief

I'm a twit
Fucking hellMr Bolsonaro has downplayed the threat from the virus. Earlier this week he told people to "stop whining".
Brazilthey do it right because their culture recognises the important things in life and aren't full of soft shites happy to piss away their lives sitting on their fat arse.
Absolutely. As long as we can party on copacabana beach then fuck everything else.
Brazil is interesting as despite having seemingly done almost nothing to stop this they still only have a death rate from it of 118 per 100,000, ours is 188.
Now their death rate might be understated and even if it isn't it might be incomparable to ours due to numerous different factors, but if it isn't understated and it is comparable, we've basically wasted a year of our lives for nothing.
Is there a full death rate chart (in the terms expressed above) anywhere?
They live an out-doorsy lifestyle which is a massive win with Covid. I genuinely thing 'climate' is one of the main factors in the spread of this. But at 2000 deaths a day, and taking no action to stop it, they will breeze past us soon enough.

Deaths per million (on worldometer) has the following ranking among non-micronations:
1 Czech Republic (I refuse to say 'Czechia')
2 Belgium
3 Slovenia
4 UK
5 Hungary
6 Italy
7 Bosnia
8 Portugal
9 USA
10 Bulgaria
Now if I were to run my amateur eye across this, the correlation I would make would be consumption of fatty foods (Italy the exception).
Can we run it alongside their global Soft Shites index scores?
If you provide the data I will be able to beam a graph onto the wall of your local sauna in time for when they open.
There's no way a soft shite chart will work with that many Eastern Europeans.
Would Portugal not be similar dietary-wise to Italy?
My instinct is they eat loads of fried crap in comparison to Italy, but Kiko can confirm.
They love a good pastel de nata.
That sausage/steak/cheese/egg butty they have as one of their national dishes is like something a proper country would have. Meanwhile, the Spanish are tormenting rats and eating rice from bins.
Spanish food is the worst national food. FACT.
Italian food in the most Overrated. FACT.
Where did I read that what we call Italian food is more like Italian-American food, and they actually live on moody fish and generally a lot less of the cheese, sauce, meat that we all like in our 'Italian' food?
Proper Spanish food is one of the only food things Spain has going for it.
Proper Spanish food is disappointing fish and the worst parts of a pig left to go off for a bit. Get out of here, herb.
I did have beef tongue and pig ears last time I went...
I was taken to an expensive restaurant in Valencia by a client, and it was basically loads of plates of shit pork and fish. Had to pretend it was amazing.
They love their pastries but so do Italians.
Lot of fresh fish and carbs (rice, potato, bread combos). Probably less healthy but more beach sports which balance it out.
Wrong.
British food is the worst.
Pie and Chips is better than anything any other country has come up with alone.
With the exception of Curry.
Mediterranean food > *
Everything around the Med is great, it all goes back to the Phoenicians and trade routes and spices etc. They also just have far more native good stuff to work with, olive oil and citrus fruits and so on.
Northern Europe doesn't even start to compete. I'd say we do a reasonable job with the available resources. Germany has its moments. And if you think any cuisine is more overrated than the home of the word 'cuisine' then you are deluding yourself.
Turkish, yes. Greek is its poorer but tolerable cousin. The rest has been addressed.
And within that it probably goes Spanish > Israeli/Lebanese > Italian > Greek > Turkish.
What the Spanish get right more than anything else is food culture. Small meals infrequently is vastly superior to one massive meal.
Yeah this is it. Just lob a bunch of veg and olive oil on a plate and you're set. You can't do that up here.
Lol
Turkish > Greek > Lebanese > Italian > Mahows arsehole > Spanish
Can only conclude Spikey's version of Spanish food (for the purposes of this comparison) is breakfasto inglesio.
I was thinking about this meal the other day, eaten standing up outside at about 2 in the afternoon in Cadiz after a morning at the beach. What could be better?
Nope. I don't eat English food abroad. That's Lewis. If he ever left the country.
"Listen, right, I'll tell you how bad Spanish food is. When I went to the Red Lion in Marbella..."
Man's bigging up Spanish 'food culture' reminiscing about sandwich filling.
Eating corned beef out the tin with a spoon. One thing I will say for Army cuisine...
The best thing I ever had in Spain was Gambas Pil Pil, which is prawns in oil with spices, served with bread. Tough to get wrong.
Sorry I've had a think, German food is the worst. Pure stodge on a plate.
