Wee Bully Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Just been to ASDA for the first time since masks became mandatory. Didn’t see a single person (including staff) not wearing one, which for some reason I find enormously encouraging. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I’ve not drank for 4 and a half years, and I went bald not long before that so today has got bugger all to get me excited about. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Having my first pub pint since lockdown. Wasn’t going to bother until the weekend (sons birthday), but a mate messaged me to meet up. Only an hour in & social distancing is beginning to fade. Tbf the pub is very well organised with compulsory hand sanitizer/ sign in/ bar screens with small serving points, they are trying their hardest, but, booze in- wit out with the punters. Still, happy to support a local business & hopefully after the initial rush things will calm down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the lockdown there were many pubs that had barely half a dozen pishy auld c***s nursing one pint all day . Just go to them in a few weeks it’ll be a doddle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I go to games on my jack all the time. Maybe half the games I attend are on my tod. Especially away from home. It's not sad. It's an excellent way to view the game* *in that neither of my children are climbing on my head, or punching/kicking eachother with me as referee for the entire duration I am gone. I must be the same, crowd I started going with years ago have diminished to almost zero now, don’t have kids yet but if/when i do i might use the threat of going to a falkirk game to make them behave Also we can’t be far from getting a double zero day for cases and deaths hopefully 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Just had my first visit into a non-supermarket shop for what seems like an eternity, and happy to report the vast majority of people in John Lewis, and Buchanan Galleries in general, were wearing masks. The other thing I noticed was a few people who didn't seem to understand why the face recognition wasn't working as they attempted to pay with their device... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northboy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 3 hours ago, PWL said: Haircut at 4pm. Genuinely looking forward to it more than my first pub visit. I've tired of looking like a brunette Michael Fabricant. Local barber opened sharp this morning and as there were only 2 queuing when I went past at 8am I decided to join. It's my first professional hair cut since mid February. I'm genuinely surprised just how good it's made me feel, I'm buzzing today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Woke up a sweaty mess this morning, high temperature all day and generally feeling shite. As Monkwoman works for the nhs, I’ve had to get tested, as she’s not allowed back to work with me showing symptoms until I get the all clear. Drive through test centre at the airport was quite busy. 4th time I’ve been tested and it doesn’t get any better. I’m due to get tested again next Tuesday before going back to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The customers there are exactly who would expect to show up - 50+ year old single male pub regulars. One guy must have planned ahead and booked a haircut at the barbers next door at 11 then just sauntered straight into the pub. 3 hours ago, mizfit said: Sort of people I seen lurking about the Perth beer gardens last week then. Shocked to see that alcoholics are the first ones in the doors of pubs since reopening. 3 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: "BuT hE TolD tHeM aLl tO gEt JoBS iN TeSCo..." You're not seriously defending Martin here, are you? You can argue over the semantics of what he did, but the way he did it marks him out as a complete c**t and I'm staggered anyone can take any other view of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big bad man allowed employees to top up their income by seeking employment elsewhere, safe in the knowledge their job was waiting for them when things got back to normal. What a c**t. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 4 hours ago, ICTChris said: Interesting comparison for Scotland there. Also interesting to see Iain McWhirter comparing other countries to Scotland, he was supportive of the way the U.K. and Scottish governments handled the move into lockdown, IIRC. No one outside of government could have foreseen the disaster in care homes and cutting people off from standard medical services as we headed into lockdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I'm quite looking forward to the new social distancing rules in pubs. Saves me having to listen to the pub bore, who would inevitably be droning on and on about how Lockdown was a waste of time, in addition to dubious views about other issues like climate change etc. Edited July 15, 2020 by Angusfifer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The Weatherspoons in Inverness is horrendous. I absolutely never go there on a night out. I don’t care if it’s 14p a pint. The place is full of utter minks drinking those fish bowl monstrosities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe you've given him the attention he was looking for there. He needn't worry; i'm enjoying the first night of the English school holidays watching the football at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
