Guest Moomintroll Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 We've obviously got a direct route to the milder strain on here, hope Div hasn't restricted it to his tenner a monthers. All those Gold Members had their chance, us Platinium folks still have it shite but we are faring better. Jeremiah Cole is a Gold Member, I have nothing more to add. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Was on the news tonight as a positive spin story. I don't see an issue with them claiming the 80%, the regs allow them to do so, as long as they make up the difference. This scheme was always going to attract "opportunists"It's absolutely not ok that celtic are using this scheme. It's fucking greed, and certainly goes against their 'community roots - we're the good guys' persona that they promote so much. There was a report this morning saying most of them are. They made a particular point about Spurs, as their owner has a personal fortune of £4.3 Billion but was still taking advantage of the scheme. Having said that, I suppose it's no different to FTSE 100 companies doing the same as they're worth Billions and are mostly owned by Foreign Hedge Funds, Institutions and High Net Worth individuals.I agree.This relief should not be for companies until those at the top take a massive pay cut to show some solidarity with their workers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not for me anyway. Two's enough. 3 if I've already had my dinner. Affigem is good, but isn't that Belgian rather than Dutch? Amstel is a perfectly acceptable beer if you're in the Netherlands though. Affligem is definitely Belgian. No one should be drinking Dutch beer. If you ignore shite like Stella or Jupiler, Belgian beer is by far the best in the world. La Chouffe or Orval imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp morgues which have been on standby to be needed fairly imminently. Not a source for anyone else here to hang their hat on obviously, and hopefully it's wrong, but there is a chance folk on here will be directly affected over the next while. This is the thing, anyone with half a brain or even an informed idiot surely knows that the "ramp up" is a given and it's expected over the next 2-3 weeks. The occupancy rate in the hospitals in the UK or even USA today, are inconsequential, it's what's already in the pipeline and what's coming our way which is the huge worry and it's now unavoidable. I really don't know why Jeremiah finds this so difficult to grasp ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) I think he does. I think if everyone was arguing this was a conspiracy he'd be on here quoting death rates and videos from hospital wards in Northern Italy. There's always folk want to rock against the general consensus just for the sake of it. edit: in reply to Watto Edited April 1, 2020 by PauloPerth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Being a bit doom and gloom here, but has it been discussed anywhere about us generally being classed as the 'sick man' of Europe with our terrible health and mortality rates in certain parts of the country? Heart disease, respiratory ailments, smoking, diabetes, obesity etc have all played a part in a percentage of covid19 deaths elsewhere apparently. Are we right in the firing line to get absolutely battered by this virus in terms of fatalities? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
