I've been fine with it. The alternative is working in an empty office and then hearing the bloke behind me ask for my opinion on a game I'm not playing. Office banter is only good when there's actual drama going on.

Another one added to the list last night. We were all going to the pub after training, he said: 'I'm not ready for the pub, I'm not convinced it's safe'. Jesus Christ.
It's exploded people's heads.
He's right.
He isn't when the prevalence rate is something like 3 in 100,000 people.
This is the problem with just chucking the figures on a website. People don't bother checking them and carry on living as if it's still April/May.

Funny how many people are now fully onboard with Team #GetAGrip, even though nothing has technically changed.
I'm a twit
Other than the huge reductions in cases, hospitalisation and mortality rates?
It's all changed.
The virus is the same.
All those went down because people stopped going out.
I'm a twit
Yeah, other than those.
People thinking the lockdown and subsequent regulations didn't affect numbers
Nobody said that. Of course it effected the number of cases. It doesn't effect the percentage of people that die from it.
Too early for the victory parade, Baz. They're not ready for our bunting.
Take the L, Spikey.

If you're going to use statistics like that you have to explain what you actually mean by it. The paper says it reduced deaths in ventilated patients from 40% to 29%, which you could easily present as an 11% reduction if it suited you. In non-ventilated patients only receiving oxygen it reduced the death rate from 25% in 21.5% and 17% to 13.2% (not statistically significant) in patients receiving no respiratory support.
Don't get me wrong, it's one (as I said) relatively effective treatment and the best thing we've found so far, but it's not the invitation to let Hammer's mates get back to it you're making out.
I'm sure there was another medication mentioned at some point too, but I can't find mention of it now (not the Trump one).
I think you're referring to Chashitanpheltokonsidophyl.
Apart from beating my personal best for most wanks in a day on a daily basis and scraping the barrel for films to watch I'd say I'm doing ok, could happily continue as I am but with the world opening up again. Maybe I was already immune to isolation because I had moved away from all my friends 3 years ago.
If you've been beating your personal best every day since lockdown started you must be in the hundreds by now. It'll be like mince.
He's not even sure if it's spunk or pus at this point.
I thought we were talking about Mahow's paint spillage, for a second.
Let's fire this up for it shall be active for the next month or two, rest assured.
I'm still nursing a hangover from Sat which isn't helping matters at all but I'm also trying to consider whether I should rearrange my working day to fit in an hour or two of exercise whilst it's still light (I doubt I'll go ahead with it as I don't like idea of exercising but having to come back to work).
Should we start a buddy system on here so that we can check in on each other and keep a nice live suicide tally?
Did we do any zoom drinks last time round? Family stuff was well and truly exhausted, but for the lols (for they will be few and far between) I might be up for a TTH one this time.
And Saturday was good, eh Don?

Speaking of being a lightweight, someone gave me a joint to smoke a couple of weeks ago. I had half of it and felt so ill I had to go to bed for a few hours and sleep it off.
I'm a bit more fucked off with it all the moment than I have been previously.
Think it is just being magnified by the fact one of my friends is lying on his deathbed in a hospice (cancer) and we were asked to record videos to send to him. He's 42 with 3 kids, none of us are allowed to see him and probably won't be able to have a 'proper' funeral for him either. I'm sure it would have felt just as intense and helpless without covid etc but somehow makes a fucking horrible situation even worse.

What the fuck is this creature's reporting about? This is his second similiar vid I've seen on BBC. Man's getting paid to go bosh a balloon at these raves all because he can be the next Trevor McDonald ffs.
We all know I'd make Johnny Depp look a prude if I didn't have the burden of a white middle-class career to maintain.
"It's hot and sweaty, and there's no social distancing"
I never get a hangover since I gave up the bines.
I can't remember my last hangover.
edit: actually I can. It was my birthday in March a day before lockdown.
I had a space cake at the start of lockdown and was absolutely fucked. Sat there waiting two hours then it hit me. Fell asleep around 8pm and woke up at 11am the next day. I can’t even go 5/6 hours without waking up at least once or twice any other night. Just dreadful the next day. Comedowns were easier to deal with than that.
Unfortunately it’s the in thing with all my mates smoking weed and eating shite throughout the day. Couldn’t think of anything worse
One of those really, I didn't know what to say and the instruction was to stay upbeat so ended up with a couple of crap jokes, felt like it was too difficult to do but knew I would regret not doing it, essentially the last time I will get to 'speak' to him.
As for hangovers, definitely worse with smoking but otherwise a roulette wheel for me, can wake up after 3 beers feeling rough or fresh as a daisy after half a bottle of whisky, no rhyme or reason though I did once spend a day getting involuntary erections after quaffing a lot of duty free Jim Beam.
No hangovers on the mid strength lager just the odd bout of dementia.
Why do you keep posting that?
Light fading at three in the afternoon. End it.
I've given up all hope of life for 5 days a week, sustained purely by a diet of meaningless football and xvideos.
I stuck in 3 punnets of berries into my yoghurt lunch today though so I'm hoping to shit out all my troubles soon and be awakened to a life of fulfilling shit (pencil sketching and xvideos).
This really is going to be an awful 3 months, isn't it?
I'm starting to see why Nordic countries have appalling suicide rates, despite, lack of light aside, being fantastic places to live.
Nah, Autumn and winter is the best time of the year.
It's sim driving which is getting me through the evenings at the moment. I'm not normally a good gamer (a very bad one, in fact) but I'm OK with the wheel and it has the meditative, escapist quality whereby all you need to focus on in a ten-second period is the next corner, plus it's your feet, your hands and everything involved rather than just clicking around the internet.
I don't think I've got anything else, though.
