lol at Greece supposedly fining people for the rest of their lives if they don’t get vaccinated.

The idea is to be commended but should be heavy fines for those whose decision actually leads to problems for the state.
We got an e-mail telling us to mask up 'moving around the office'. No thanks.
"The booster campaign to be put on steroids." is one hell of a quote from Boris.
All this booster talk is making me feel genuinely thick. Why on earth would I get a booster in the current circumstances?
Didn't Delta have some vaccine escape bollocks? What's more likely is the vaccine just won't work as well for as long as it should do. The boosters must be doing something with the way our deaths and hospital numbers are going down.
Because the affect of the vaccine wanes over time and having a brand spanking new dose might (maybe possibly perhaps) offer better protection against the Kodos variant.Originally Posted by Manc
That said, if the vaccines are shit enough to need 3 jabs a year I can't see many bothering for long. Piss poor.
So pharmacies can get paid, durrr.

Same thing has happened here this morning. I can't blame businesses too much as they really do need to be seen to be doing something against a backdrop of all the FEAR, but I don't think a more stupid rule has ever been dreamt up.
What about having to buy a meal to get an alcoholic drink in a pub?

We got a belter of an email on Monday about masks and the "understandable concern" we must all be feeling. The tide is turning though, people are just rolling their eyes at it and bowling around with mask under chin.
I even heard our resident TEAM FEAR member saying she's not having her 3rd dose and she's having Christmas with the family whatever they say. Beautiful
Lol at all the businesses cancelling their Christmas parties under the FEAR banner and pocketing the money instead.
We cancelled ours and I'm just pissed off that I’d already been the black sheep by saying I wouldn’t go months ago. I’d have got away with it now.
Ours is booked for next week (it's lunch at a Toby Carvery

Amazing.
I'm going to be fuming if we have to cancel ours. Already got loads of stuff booked.
It's free up to £15 per head and we're allowed 1 Alcoholic beverage. What a buzz.
Amazing.
Our lot had booked everyone into a hotel so the antivaxer could go too but now they’ve changed the midnight bar closing to cover residents bars too so nobody is arsed.
A Toby would be quality. 10pm Yorkshire puddings and a cask ale
There is wonderful pathos about a Toby Carvery. I once saw a young couple in one on what was clearly an early date. He had the works. Potatoes rolling off the plate like the severed heads of his enemies. She had a couple of thin gammon slices and some cauliflower, and was staring deep into the gravy boat. I've never forgotten it.
Did you at least enjoy "the works"?
I'm a twit
Couldn't tell you the last time I went to one, but I assume overcooked meat, undercooked potatoes and watery gravy is still the order of the day?
We had loads of options on the table, and the majority picked Mexican, but everyone backed down because our resident vegetarian doesn't eat food with flavour and didn't like anything on the menu.
For that they should have been ridiculed and brought to a steakhouse.
He gave it the big "It's fine. I'll just have chips" and the women crumbled. Odds on he just has a plate of dry roasties anyway.
Ours is at Rev in Huddersfield, just in with everyone else rather than a private function lolz.
We're doing a full day thing in London. Escape Room, Crystal Maze, Casino, food at Wahaca, then Karoake and bars afterwards.
You should have sacked the guy in the form of an automatic lock-in.
That takes the sting out of getting the road at least.
Oh, he's not coming anymore. Which will leave an empty space, perhaps we should have a TTH raffle to decide who gets it.
I think that’s what Giggles meant. He no longer has to go to all that.

My place is doing a non-official one since the company weren't providing one this year (we are getting hampers and takeaway lunch on the company though which is nice). But it's on the 16th and I figured if I picked something up then, it'd fuck Christmas so I'm not bothering.
My lot are taking us for a pub lunch on the 10th. Three courses, we've had to pre-select the food. I've also got a three-course Christmas dinner that evening courtesy of the cricket world. On the 11th I'm going to look like Mr Creosote trying to go out sideways through the front door.
Why wouldn't you want a day filled with activities that you enjoy with people you like? I suppose it helps that everyone is of a similar age and knows each other really well.
Giggles doesn't like people and he's probably right not to.
They all hate you, mate.
Even if I was going with my actual mates, all that stuff in one day sounds like hell.
Maybe I’m in the minority.

Could be true, but luckily they all like each other.
It's only really 2 activities. The rest of it is just eating and drinking.Even if I was going with my actual mates, all that stuff in one day sounds like hell.

Turns out Omicron is no more dangerous than the regular rona.
Panic over?
The Bazzes of this world don't tend to like too many organised activities, as the outgoing are more comfortable in unstructured environments free from the constraints of context. People like me would do better in SvN's day as we like the security of a context in front of us to riff on.
That's it for today's introvert splaining.
I don't thing severity of illness was ever the concern. It's how transmissible it is and how well the vaccines work against it.
So no. Keep the panic going.
If my place tried to get me into that, I would just quit.
No matter what.
Organised fun.
That's at least 3 activities in a single day. That's downright mental and that's coming from the king of banter and jollies. Also, 'Casino' as some standalone capitalised activity before food sounds straight up mental. Having 'Whorehouse' to round off the day would sound less sleazy.
"Please like me"
Will awards be provided at the end of the night?
Wearing this:
I did consider having an employee of the year award, actually.
Wearing this:
The casino is just for one of the guys who doesn't drink, but loves betting in a casino. Most others will just be drinking at the bar.
It's also probably likely to be the first place we go after food, rather than before.
