ICTChris Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Has there been any crisis in recent history where everything is trailed the way it has been in this one? We seem to have discussions about discussions,meetings about meetings and then once we've briefed and had interviews with everyone we might announce something. I think they did this early to warm people up for measures that were unprecedented at the time but now, everyone knows about what could or couldn't be coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Glad I went to Coldingham that weekend there. Looks like fun might be off the menu for the next wee whileWe were up in Cullen, did the Moray Coastal trail from there up to Findhorn and enjoyed a lovely lunch in Lossiemouth. Sounds like travel restrictions and hospitality restrictions are coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are to apply those restrictions across all of Scotland I would guess that the extended households would be exempt across the country too. Does this extended household still include being able to meet your other half? Scottish Gov specifically mentioned a few months ago that it was fine to meet your partner with no social distancing required no matter what the living arrangements are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can still do that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 2 hours ago, NotThePars said: You can tell something’s going on with the Tory Party cause all their unpaid activists in the media are ramping up the “imagine if Corbyn was in charge during this “ stuff again. I've been imagining that since Day One of this shambles, and, while I am an unashamed Socialist of long standing*, I honestly struggle to single out even one policy or action of this Government which has not proved to be the worst of all possible choices. Even the helpful stuff such as the Furlough scheme, has been presented as Wingnut Rishi being some benevolent financial genius, rather than the Party of Fiscal Responsibility ensuring our descendants will be hampered with this debt fo multiple generations. As for Eat out to Help Out - quite apart from more debt being piled onto the excequer, in whose mind was having everybody and their mates getting together to renew acquaintance and share infection a good idea? Simply put, and it really is simple - we kept numbers down through control measures. If we loosen those control measures without implementing other measures, infections will rise and spread will soon get back to pre-lockdown levels. We aren't getting "back" to anything - even allowing you could get thousands upon thousands of commuters into city centres safely, how the blue fúck are you going to get them up into the dozens of floors of the blocks where they work? The employers overwhelmingly have been pleasantly surprised that their drones have performed quite acceptbly while working remotely. Pret and Costa are fúcked, and they're probably getting used to the idea and planning alternative business models. Those commercial landlords who rely on income from office space in city centres? Fúck 'em, they're parasites. *And even longer sitting down (S. Milligan) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Nicola would be an outstanding wrestling GM.I could see her announcing that Boris is going one on one with the Undertaker Paul Heyman representing Covid. “Ladies and gentlemen, my client, the reigning, defending, undisputed, economy wrecking, grandma killing, COVID-19 will be ruining your Christmas and that isn’t a prediction...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The meaning of lockdown has changed dramatically in the last 6 months. Areas of South Wales in "lockdown" but kids still being crammed into schools for 6 hours a day and pubs still open until 11pm. Just don't go for a wee drive in the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to assume that's just them laying the groundwork for whatever new restrictions come into play the next few days.

Miguel Sanchez Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 12 hours ago, tamthebam said: House parties is an interesting one. Pre-covid there were plenty of decent folk whose daily lives were made a misery by their neddy neighbours having parties every night and it took a long time, if ever, for action to be taken. Usually the housing officer would say "keep a diary of incidents" and a warning would be given which would likely be ignored. Now there's an epidemic some folk can't go a few months without having a house party. My inner fascist says the Polis should be issued with baseball bats to break up parties by smashing up music playing equipment like Alexas, hi-fi's and the like. And yes I don't tend to get invited to parties. And the last house party I was at (last year) I found quite boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Looks like instead of constantly drinking partying and shagging all those uni students might actually have to get a fucking education now [emoji38] always abright side! Many a student has managed to get an education while enjoying the other elements you list. Presumably shagging contributes to a fucking education in any case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
