pandarilla Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I genuinely did clap, my parents went wild for it as if their clapping was going to kill the virus. Was quite cool seeing more than half the street doing so and bizarrely mildly moving. What a stressful job working in the hospitals would be but deeply satisfying and gratifying. I think because a lot of morons just spout off utter shite regarding the NHS just to sound like they actually care or are thoughtful the whole message gets a bit diluted. Sort of similar to poppy wearing, the whole thing gets turned into a side show and it then becomes fashionable to act like people who show appreciation are idiots ). I know it doesnt make any real impact or whatever but I think its more sad people highlighting just how indifferent they are than me the old couple across the road and the school kids on my street sharing ten seconds of engagement when we barely see anyone just nowYep. Pretty much spot on. About half the houses in our street did it, and you do get that nice wee feeling of being part of something bigger. A good thing for the kids as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, I'm going out for a pint, who's with me? The Fluke handy for you? I'm more of a Nip Inn man myself, but needs must if they're doing a lock in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevieda Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Not sure this is verified but fucking hell That's really close to the O2 academy so assume it's a clip from another time when some pop music was on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I was destroying the family at Monopoly actually. I don't like the clapping stuff, far too Americanesque for me tbh. Want to show appreciation, be a decent human being when this is all over.I was in Orlando when Thor2 came out, so we went to the cinema to watch it. When Thor appeared some red neck started shouting ‘u-s-a u-s-a’ without a hint of irony that the big space alien wasn’t a yank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
