Obviously you'll be looking for new employment when this is finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" A man who filmed himself licking a toilet bowl in the 'coronavirus challenge' is now reportedly ill in hospital with the deadly disease. In bizarre footage posted on TikTok, the man can be seen placing his mouth around the bowl and extending his tongue. According to Piers Morgan on GMB, the same man is now receiving treatment. The presenter said: "You may remember also the other idiot, this is also in America, as part of the coronavirus challenge some morons are doing, went into his local toilet cubicle and licked the bowl He most likely has several ailments, Covid not being one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon about half of our work force (that are still being made to come to the factory) have said they'll actively be looking for a new job when this is done due to the company stance. Obviously I don't believe for one second that half the work force will actually leave, but I'm not sure bosses understand the current feeling on the shop floor. I've been thinking about moving jobs and possibly country in any case but I think all this has just given me a wee nudge along. If I had enough money to tide me over for the next 3-4 months I'd probably have handed in my notice yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody should be looking at how they're being treated during this crisis, no point moaning about it if you ain't going to take action. Hopefully key workers in certain companies will club together and try to compete against their employers in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working in a Covid assessment hub and we arent testing patients who are actually fairly ill. The blue blooded gimp is barely symptomatic yet gets tested, why? Can he not isolate in his 100 room stately home. Absolutely genuinely fucking furious about this. Elitist piss and absolute lies about clinical need. c***s.

cyderspaceman Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 34 minutes ago, WATTOO said: Sorry to hear that and we'll probably never know. It has been mentioned on umpteen occasions that the Chinese had it as early as November and of course there were no restrictions of movement at that time and nobody had even hear of Coronavirus or Covid 19, so it would be very naive to think that it hadn't been spreading around the globe even before Christmas. Well here's a thing. For a few weeks I had a bit of a cough, wheezy with tightness across the chest and lost most of my sense of taste and smell with the occasional slight dizzy spell. Also slept a lot 10 or 11 hours per night.. No serious symptoms. All gone now. I just put it down to normal winter virusy things and have decided it was just that. But who knows? Maybe when it all blows over , anyone who has been poorly could get the antibody test just to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 When I was at Stephens the bakers last week they were using a plastic glove with a 4" hoop where the cuff was, they could quickly put it on with one hand, take your money and gave your change in a plastic tub.Stephens have shut now as well!The football I can just about cope with as I can always watch old games. But not having Steak Bridies, it’s going to get tricky now![emoji22][emoji22][emoji22] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 7 minutes ago, Tynierose said: It's double standards and absolute bullshit. Incidentally so is the testing of young fit footballers now I mention it. They're making absolutely no effort to hide the fact that they're trying to safeguard anything or anyone that brings in more tax than your average punter in the street. Whisky distilleries being considered to be 'essential' and being told to keep calm and carry on is a classic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
