I was gonna 'got a badass over here' this post but I thought to let it slide but I hope you're pleased with what you've created with your disservice to irreverence.Originally Posted by Ian
Blue Monday today and it's blue-er than a Simon Webbe and Eiffel 65 collab.@Don divide and conquer.
Well thank goodness you've spared me that devastating putdown.
Everyone can sense your wry smile as you typed this.
No that's just me still enjoying the "somebody's grandfather's passed away" lols.
Of course nobody is lolling at that.
What is it that you think you are doing then?
Guys, just settle down, you're all operating on low vibrations due to the climate of fear and negativity. Look inside and seek the light.
4 weeks down here. Only another 6-10 weeks to go.
Keep the pressure up Giggles lad. Picket the funeral.
It's not about the uncle, it's about the relatives of everyone he came into contact with while he was lolling around in the face of restrictions. And the relatives of who they came into contact with afterwards, and onwards.
While I can recognise the double standards of posting about relatives dying from covid, when you’ve also posted about breaking restrictions, this has been an awkward and unnecessary series of posts.
KUTGW
I'm a twit
It's the likes of posts like this show he's been begging for a reaction ever since he was bragging about it here at the time.
Lol
Where were the bragging posts? I missed it at the time.
Thr “bragging” was tongue in cheek but essentially he asked if he was allowed to travel to Scotland and was told not legally. He then didn’t get results for his covid test but got a train from Manchester to Scotland anyway and declared it “super spreading complete” upon arrival, and made a joke about having symptoms.

Meanwhile on another part of the internet someone probably travelled from London to wherever his uncle lives, held the door open for him at the newsagent when he went buying fags and is now dead.
I'm a twit
Maybe he's just a massive Tom Hanks fan.
I don't think that I was bragging at any point. I'm sorry that I shared a personal story and won't in future as it's taken as bragging. I did think the site was about talking to each other and having a community not to basically call someone a murderer of his uncle.
I'm just fucking flabbergasted that people can convince themselves my tone is of some superiority complex.
Edit and yes. It was a joke about me having symptoms. God forbid.
I was just answering Yev.
Sorry about your uncle.
I'm a twit
I think they more do it to wind you up.
It's become 'a thing'.
Giggles has me down as some sort of national front voting little England headcase, you just have to roll with it, occasionally post his name or address to keep him in check etc.
Nobody said anything remotely like you murdered your uncle, so climb down off the cross.
Of course. It doesn't mean it's not tiring when it's so incessant and especially when I'm finding a place to vent over a death.
Headcase would probably be a bit far but you would definitely qualify as a little englander. I'd just own if if I were you rather than getting offended when someone points it out. There's nothing wrong with it, you're English after all.

Yeah, that doesn't look like bragging.
I suppose Guernsey is little England. A very little England.
Aye, in the same way that Ireland is a little England, I guess.
What Kiko is peddling as being said about him is a total fabrication now anyway. It's not far back if anyone wants a look, possibly one page at most.
Anyway, seeing as the fair isle has been brought into this:
Suck it up dickheads
Not smug? Yeah, not much. The reporter must have been trying to get that on the national news for months. Shame they found some strange dero bar to focus on.
Seen this coming, though didn't think it would be quite as soon.
I've heard anecdotal stories of people (people older than 70 it has to be said, although I don't think in the current categories being vaccinated) ringing up St Thomas' in London and being told to come in to have the jab. You don't ask you don't get, I guess.
If I got the chance at one myself before I was due I'd have it too. I don't think I'm in the know enough with anyone relevant though.
You're on the priority list so it could be worth chancing your arm (). If someone hasn't turned up you might get the nod

More lizardry at play.
You kept quiet about these scenes :O
Google informs me Barbados Beach Club is permanently closed these days otherwise I would have been straight over.
I'm in the 5/14 in the revised groups but that looks like it'll be fucking April or May now.
I guy I work with has apparently had one, despite being 50 and in no way at risk.
He happened to be there and got one that would have otherwise gone to waste.
It's surprisingly smart that they're doing that. You'd expect them to red tape it in the bin. Although how are they getting around the prescription nonsense? Presumably a doctor on site quickly issues one.
If they're bothering to take details from randomers for the top-up jab then it's at least worthwhile. If they don't then it may as well be binned.

Is that more or less than you would have thought? I don't know.More than 25,000 patients have caught coronavirus in hospital since the second wave of the pandemic began in September. One in six Covid-19 patients in NHS hospitals in England were infected while being treated for other conditions, according to internal Health Service figures. So far this month, 5,684 Covid-positive in-patients out of 44,315 – about one in eight – were infected after being admitted for other conditions.
Chuck care homes into that and 'care' is surely comfortably the biggest transmission vector.
Which, while I understand the difficulties faced in avoiding that, is absolutely bonkers.
Hard to avoid, but easy to reduce. We have nifty tests that can tell Baz if he's ill in 20 minutes. Are staff being tested before each shift? Because they should be.
Are people reporting sore arms after the jab cos of what’s in the injection or cos they’re letting every Tom dick and Harry administer it? @randomlegend
I'm a twit
lateral flow tests are only 60% accurate though, or something like that.
I'm a twit
Better than nothing though, right?
I spoke to a Nursing Assistant not long ago. They're all routinely tested, wear shit loads of adequate PPE and don't mix wards, yet their patients are still catching it. They don't understand how. My best guess was the air vents.
That would be the thinking if it were as free as nothing.
That’s under the assumption they’re all doing things right though. It only takes one person to pass it to one person. We’re the weak link in all this.
Interesting. Knowing it's airborne surely any vents / air-con etc are closed or switched off?
Oi, RL, How are you fuckers spreading this shit?
I would say it's just near impossible to keep out. My wife's grandma is in a care home in Portugal and they've had to shut down with an outbreak. The care homes nearby have been ravaged as well with multiple deaths even though they have all the PPE, handwashing, distancing etc. Unfortunately, nurses, carers and doctors have to be in the public as well which I'm sure is where they pick it up.
@Baz It is normal to have some reaction to vaccines - nothing to worry about.
That may well be the case Keek's, but that also means the actual numbers of cases and deaths that the public can do anything to prevent are considerably lower than we see every day.
It depends where the staff are catching it. Are most of them catching it at home and taking it into work? Or are they catching it at work and taking it home to their families? Obviously both, but I would bet on the latter being the case most of the time.
