I was just think of 2 options. 1. contact the practice and tell them I don't need, therefore freeing up someone else. Gid c**t 2. Selling my spot in the queue . c**t, but a bit richer. eta we will finally get the vaccine here, by waiting after the street dogs have all been done or pay, which has been whispered to be around £500 Only one thing you need my brother 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted the tories are the experts in being mendacious however they're all it. They all twist the facts to suit their own agenda or take on things. Its been the same since time began and nothing will change that. Its like the old sketch, when do you know a politician is lying? Easy their lips move... Yes given how bad ALL politicians are I’m astounded there is not more of a concerted effort to do something about it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm sorry to dig up a post from a few pages back, but this really got to me. Losing out on a holiday doesn't bother me. I couldn't afford to go anywhere this year anyway, and I don't drink. So a pint isn't an issue. People need things to look forward to though, and at the moment it feels like there is nothing positive on the horizon. I cannot stomach the restrictions in their current (or similar) forms continuing for a great deal longer. I've been able to visit my grandparents once inside since August. My Papa is going downhill with his memory and it's brutal having to talk to him through a window from the garden (which I technically shouldn't be doing anyway because he lives in a different local authority). My Granda lives on his own but was an active member of the bowling club and played 5s with his pals once a week - as well as using the pub to meet up with old work colleagues and so on. He hasn't been able to do that since Boxing Day and now spends six days a week on his own. I don't have a massive social circle, but I've not seen any of my pals from football or who I went to Uni with (barring the guy who I co-comm for on SonsTV) for a year. My week consists of working, watching TV, going on a walk and sleeping. Every single day is the same - apart from the weekends when I'm not working, so just walk, watch TV and sleep. I didn't mind that at first, nor did I mind when my pay was cut for a few months, nor did I mind that I've lost out on overtime that used to make me a decent amount of extra money. But the idea of carrying on with this routine; week after week after week until at least Autumn fills me with a deep feeling of dread. A few months ago my Granda phoned me to say he felt like he was "just existing, not living". That has stuck with me. As soon as hospital numbers drop to more acceptable measures, restrictions should be loosened. As soon as everyone over 70 or with an underlying condition has received their second dose, restrictions should be loosened. And so on. Apologies if your post was solely about international travel and I've just gone off on one here btw. Once I started typing I just couldn't stop!Drop this into an email and send it to your MSP and CC NS in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 It's this sort of thing that makes me believe that there are powerful people out there who would like lockdown to continue indefinitely. It makes any grassroots political effort completely impossible and increases the influence of TV and social media on individuals as real social interaction is banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote to John Swinney ten days ago about a particular issue COVID regulations were having on my sister’s business due to a misinterpretation by the council’s environmental health people. By the following Monday his office called me back having researched the query and found some potential solutions for us. First time I’ve ever written to a politician of any hue and I was surprised they’d got back to me that quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amount of folk standing gassing at the aisles was infuriating though when trying to get to stuff on the shelves. I was at ALDI last night and there must have been five or six couples Pozbairding their way around like they didn't have a care in the world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
