Heh, Eastbourne is pretty run down in some parts. Is that what you mean? I've only walked through bits, but the Eastbourne tennis tournament was pretty nice.
Is there a tennis tournament that’s not nice? Like, it’s tennis.
As if by magic.
We can now confirm six arrests have been made:
-A 15-year-old boy from London has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker
-A 29-year-old man from Stockwell was arrested on suspicion of assault
-A 17-year-old boy from London was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a police officer
-A 17-year-old boy from London was arrested on suspicion of assault
-A 24-year-old man from London was arrested on suspicion of assault
-A 15-year-old girl from London was arrested on suspicion of assault
Yeah, run down and full of absolute scallies with nothing of note going on.
Hastings was quite nice, I thought. I walked along the front, through the old town and up some big hill. It was also some weird festival called Jack in the Green so it was pretty lively.
Yeah, the beach is quite nice. From searching it looks like that’s just an excuse to paint each other green, and, well, I was gonna say drink in the streets - but I can’t see any drinks in the photos so maybe just the green thing.
At this year’s Wimbledon, heated arguments meant several strawberries were dropped.

Brighton bin discussion.
It certainly feels like they go out more in hope than expectation. Someone sees one go out and it's like a LIGHT THE BEACONS moment. Someone with video editing skills should do a put the bins out version of that.
So you know how Euro 2020's kinda been credited for the earlier spike in infections? With the football leagues being back to full capacity, that's going to cause a much more consistent problem, right?

So that's probably 9% of the attendance. That's a chunk. I know 'around the event' can cover pub staff, tube staff, etc but that's still something to think about now mass events are a nationwide thing.But data for the Euro 2020 final shows 2,295 people at or near Wembley were likely to have already been infected, while another 3,404 potentially acquired Covid-19 around the event.

Hastings isn't so bad. Although I did write off a convertible audi tt on my way down there once. Crashed outside a garden centre and the air bags went off, which turned on the car horn constantly. So all of the garden centre customers and workers came out to have a look. Quite a surreal moment being watched by a load of people whilst I'm trying to get my (now) ex girlfriend to stop crying. She was suffering from minor woman's whiplash.
The old couple who caused the crash lied about who was driving; I think the lady had been on the sauce. A fire engine, police and road closure later meant we had pissed a lot of people off travelling to Hastings for the day.
I doubt it. Euro 2020's spike would have mostly been caused by people socialising in each other's houses to watch it and caring less and less about whether they or anyone else had COVID as each round went by.
Was in Rye earlier in the week, can see why they stuck all [well, some of] the nuclear power shit down there, it already looks like a post apocalyptic wasteland so I guess they figured a nuclear disaster probably wouldn't have changed much.
I went for an emergency dash to the supermarket just now, before Monday's shutdown, 200 odd people in the queue. Came home.
I'm glad you clarified with the (now) ex-girlfriend.
She died.
No reason to dump her, you monster.
She didn't really. But she could have died of a broken heart when she lost this heartthrob.
I'm sure she was gutted at losing a man that drove his convertible 2nd hand TT in to a garden centre.
Anecdotally, I caught it from friends at a pub watching the final who caught it the night before when they went out with a different group. It was probably just rife for those weeks after release and the inevitable spread from close contact rather than the Wembley games themselves.
Was not my fault.
Have you found a new love yet? Or is the red piss putting them off?
I've been with someone for nearly 2 years.
His spunk comes out pink and the fairer sex think it's cute.

You could have made a killing on OnlyFans before the rule change Maggers.
But do they know about it?

"Fit and healthy".
A fatty.
But the Newcastle gk you'd think is relatively fit...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...TWO-STONE.html
Just because he had a BMI of 27 and undiagnosed diabetes, it does not mean he wasn’t fit and healthy.
I'm a twit
Yeah, it's still a weird disease. Saint-Maximin didn't come back for two months, Ronaldo caught it and then walked straight back into work, Lewis Hamilton is still knackered, etc.
Typical BAME.
We went to the wedding lol. Weird to think the extent to which we were having kittens yesterday.

QR code to be mandatory in Taxis and ride share going forward in Queensland.

Anti-lockdown protesters gather in Coolangatta on NSW border
Where is the military?
My man.
NSW, probably including Liverpool hospital data:
That is pretty grim.

People are trying to break through the Police and cross into NSW.
What's the end game there?
To cross into NSW.
Yep. Be funny if they are all forced into mandatory quarantine for 2 weeks at their own expence after today.
The Thunderdome.

Weird from Trump to turn heel on his on crowd by being pro vax.

Pretty quiet on the streets here. The VN military have to be the least imposing military in the world.
NSW looks like it's having their Delta outbreak:
Glads reckons they will ease up on some restrictions next week. It will be interesting to see what that means... My bet is the construction industry is good to go again as they are the shadow NSW of government.
Hope it goes nuts and they start shooting infected people.
South Australia marking out the doors of Covid isolating houses, in the hope that people will report any breaches of quarantine by their neighbours, is heads have gone part 83.
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that anyone trying to adopt a strategy that's anything other than 'vaccinate as many as we can and then learn to live with it' is just a bit thick.
A couple of the student digs in Durham marked their houses as 'Residents are self-isolating' and I it all felt a bit 1666.
The hard border with NSW will be in place for another 10 weeks at least...
I guess they have to protect their sporting investments, the Rugby League Grand Final and the Rugby Championship.
I'm sure this won't last long but our rolling 7 day average in QLD for community transmission and deaths is currently 0,0.
Fingers crossed we open up for good by Novemberish.

What do Australia/New Zealand intend to do when, even after vaccinating everybody, there is still loads of it swirling around?
It's classic tactics vs strategy. They can do all the contact tracing and waste water testing they like, but they don't appear to have a strategy in either country, particularly NZ actually.
Open up forever I assume. If vaccinated people aren't dieing they have no choice.
Both sides of Federal Government have said we have to live with Covid when the majority of the population is finally vaccinated.
