You’ve got a real hard-on about this “advice”.
I listened to NS & she really couldn’t have been clearer.
1. The most effective known barrier is social distancing.
2. There’s not enough information to say for certain whether a face covering reduces the risk greatly, however, it won’t increase the risk if you are doing all other things properly - washing hands, distancing, not touching your face etc.

It’s not been made mandatory so make your own mind up, or you could bend the rules by going shopping with your missus.

for face masks?

Mister Bluenose, iirc - an early hero of the Banter Years. He did indeed get a load of cash from ra peepul, due to the club(rip) not understanding PayPal* - he also got a shitload of abuse and threats from berrz convinced he was a conman rather than an innocent beneficiary.

*Insert "we arra PayPal" gag here. Or not.

Could be confused with papal - probably best not, tbh

The ultimate ‘look at me, see how much I care about the NHS!’

Kids doing the pots and pans thing is fine. Grown adults? Not so fine in my book. OFTW.

She looks about ten years old, m8.

When I read Sarge’s post that interpretation never occurred to me.

You are a really sick individual.

I see Ryanair talking of it being about a 6 months wait for refunds due to Covid.  Probably in the form of a cheque to be collected from a branch of your bank 50 miles away.

They’re obliged by law to give a refund within 14 days of being asked.  Multiple court cases pending imo.

I will also bet that he sees himself as "wacky", with a "zany" sense of humour. Everything about him - specs, t-shirt, braces, suit - screams "hey, I'm mad, me!"

an irritating cúnt, in other words. Let's just be happy we can't see what his choice of footwear is like.

I'll bet his hard drive contents would see him doing a 5 stretch, minimum.

I applied for a refund on the 6th April and got an email  saying it takes within 20 working days then 5-7 working days to clear. They kept asking me if I wanted a voucher or to change to later/next year.

In practical terms, that would more than likely lead to Ryanair going bust, and no one getting any refunds.

Is it better to wait a little and get your money back, or demand it now and potentially end up with nothing?

I got a good laugh at that dick O'Leary moaning about EU state aid rules being broken with airlines being bailed out, whilst he doesn't adhere to EU rules and refund his customers for cancelled flights. 

Give everyone their money back in 14 days and let's see how Ryanair gets on without state aid...

That’s a judgement call.  You could wait and still end up with nothing.

Much will depend if people are covered by travel insurance, ATOL and/or having paid by credit card.

NHS procurement official privately selling PPE.

Won’t be clapping for him next Thursday

ETA  “Asked about the findings of the investigation, Singleton said he disclosed his business to superiors in the NHS, in accordance with the rules, and was told there was “unlikely to be a conflict”.

Most Ryanair customers won't be covered by ATOL and they have a big charge for using a credit card so most won't, and I think most insurance policies don't cover airlines going bust. I got refunded for Flybe flights by Paypal though.
