Serious amount of hambergers.
Serious amount of hambergers.
One of the all-time great photographs that.
I really want to get off this planet. FML.
We need to figure out at what point in time it all went wrong.
I went up to Inverness to return my company stuff (inc car) today. I got a 1 way hire car back down the road. Some sort of Vauhall spastic mobile with sliding doors. Fucking cunts.
The Italians are planning to open bars, restaurants and hotels on 1st June.
Probably best wait and see how that goes before we fancy a crack at it.
Again, most of these bars, restaurants and hotels aren't eligible for the scheme and won't make it that far and even if some did, their suppliers might not etc. Thousands of them especially in my industry.
Back training in Italy from 18th May. Always fancied a holiday to Italy.
The government should subsidise takeaways to support the hospitality industry with 50% off and free delivery until further notice.
Why mine?
Every twat in that room (and every similar scene) will have been nursing their drink so they could throw it in the air like a wanker. I would rather watch the match in a room full of vuvuzela users.
It's absolutely wild isn't it. I still say its long-term effects will amount to not a lot, but we'll always remember the thing/period itself. Remember when we couldn't do fuck all for three months [plus] because some Chinaman shoved a bat up his arse? Mental.
I'm not so optimistic. I reckon it will come back with vengeance and people will be assed going through all this shit again.
I see both sides of it. It's interesting watching it, how different countries (and communities within) deal with it and we are living through history right now.
This is the next generations 9/11. We're keeping little trinkets at the moment, just drawings, hand prints, the letter from No. 10, etc for our son and daughter. One is 4, the other is 18 months. Our 4 year old will probably remember 'the bug' and not being allowed to go out, but beyond that, they'll have no idea about any of this in 10 years time. They'll have no idea how it changed the world (and it will) unless we tell them.
But...
I really do want that BigMac.
The reports of it jumping to animals with relative ease has me worried. All it takes it for that to go avian and we're all fucked. EDIT: Also I'm keeping the No. 10 letter. I really wish I'd held on to the leaflet the Labour government gave out about terror attacks in the wake of 7/7.
He won't. He's dead.
I’ve heard it knows how to hide in your shopping bags now, especially click & collect. Jumps out on your face in the drive home.

Good clean scientific insights.
Also some 1 year old and 3 year old stabbed up and murdered by parents in Ilford. I wonder to what extent COVID-related.
DM'd Jase to see what the underlying condish was.
Bledisloe is a draw this year though...

New Zealand > England

Boris and his bluster is back but that was pretty pointless. Kay Burley needs to fuck off, mind. Repulsive woman.
There are other News Channels.
Meh. All equally as bullshit as the rest I'm sure. I just watched the live stream on Twitter. I don't have a preferred station.
I don't even have a preferred media outlet. Guardian mostly but fuck knows which outlets are left/right leaning, they all seem pretty bollocks.
BBC is the only channel for me.
If anyone is attempting to compare the problem we had with New Zealand then they need to give their head a wobble.
Not having a go at you Queens, more that I heard it in the news this morning. The population of London alone dwarfs their entire country and we have far more international travel. That isn't to say we've done well, but any comparison can be filed in the bin.
I am because this is a sport me... Queensland is bigger in every possible way compared to New Zealand.
I was having fun @Yevrah
I've realised this morning that the foreseeable future for everyone, once the gradual lockdown begins to ease, will basically be what I happen to have been experiencing up until this point: a semi-permanent state of work all week, nothing to look forward to at the weekend.
It's fucking awful and will leave us with collective PTSD for years.
Will you enforcing social distancing at home in the house the same way you would be forced to implement it in your job? Unlikely.
I doubt we'll be 'allowed' to go back to work (I mean, I'm typing this from an office, but you know what I mean) for months. New Zealand PM explicitly said this morning as they declared victory over community spread of the virus: 'We're opening up the economy, but not people's social lives'.
It's fucking bleak. I don't know if this is just me thinking this as I enter the fifth week since I last saw anyone other than my MD and the shipping manager, and the seventh since I saw any friend or family member. But the whole thing to me has a distinct whiff of 'This will be over by Christmas' when of course it will not.
At least WFH comes with the benefit of saving money and Sunday Night Blues no longer being a thing because every day is exactly the same so there's no use dreading one in particular.
Having to still go into work but also having the numbing boredom must be pretty dire.
The only person in flesh I have seen is whoever serves at the co-op otherwise I am 300 miles away from home, stuck in a tiny room in St Mawes wondering how on earth I am going to get past this week as my funds run out, going home costs £200 on train which obviously I can't afford, National Express no longer running otherwise I would have used that. If I knew now that I wasn't going to be able to be furloughed because of a RTI date then I would have went home once the lock down was announced so I could have at least helped my own family whereas now I'm pretty stranded.
I had four boiled eggs for tea yesterday. I am legit having to ration what little I have left in the hope I get a Universal Credit payment sometime in May.
It's so fucked up but hey ho. Life.
It must be really shit for you guys living alone. I think I'd be struggling if I didnt have my wife around, even our cats help a lot.
I've had a chat with my parents a couple of times from a distance when I've dropped things off to them, they live two minutes away from me.
Also just getting out for a walk is nice and feels like things are normal-ish.
It's the fear of the unknown that I'm trying to ignore - will we get to go on holiday this year? What will it it be like when I'm back at work and going in people houses? Will there still be a job for me to go back to after this?
I think that might be what it is. For me the routine is still the same and yet the good things - company of colleagues during the day, things to go out and do on evenings and the weekend, seeing family, following sport, etc - are all gone.
The three days I did working from home were OK as I was kind of in control of what I did, the environment was relaxed and I didn't have to drive to it at a certain time.
