We simply must extend the restrictions beyond the 17th now. There's clearly no other way to get the infection rate below that of a country that didn't put them in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Michael W Posted January 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2022 It's almost as if doing things like limiting football crowds to 500 to show just how much you care makes no difference whatsoever. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 On the subject of testing, I had two positive lateral flows on the 31st, don't feel too bad at all, advised work and they've insisted I go for a PCR. Considering I work from home and live alone I just see the whole thing as pointless. I suppose some people can't be trusted to do the right thing and just stay away from folk if they are positive but the obsession with testing is a joke and tbh, if someone is happy to go around spreading it, doubt a text telling them they cannae go out is gonna stop them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested positive on three LFTs. Parents and pals were asking about my PCR results - I basically said what's the point? I know I have it! I sat in for around 3 days and by then was testing negative rendering my positive PCR irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And allowing you to gather in a pub for hours, only you can't stand up, doesn't do anything either. Why? Because it's airborne, so will get around the room anyway Put simply, if you allow something to be open, then allow it to operate as normal.

[] Some combination of the above I'm going to go with the classic blame option - would like to have gone further to limit spread more but something about a fixed budget, lack of borrowing powers etc., finance only available if England needs it etc. With added sarcastic eye-roll when asked a question. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was literally about to say that. I can't see Sturgeon and the SNP loosening restrictions because they're not working I can only see the restrictions tightening. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen a report on Sky News highlighting that somebody has been beaten up by police in Hong Kong because they left their house in a desperate attempt to find something to eat. Just highlights the complete lack of common sense being applied by the megalomaniacs. Wtf is wrong with these people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, she'll say the restrictions haven't been in place long enough to make a difference. Secondly, she'll blame cross-border travel at Christmas. Either way, she will never, ever admit she was wrong. She can't blame the football so needs to find someone to blame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The wife has woken up with a slight cold. Runny nose and a cough. I suggested she take a LFT and she told me to f**k off. She's got plans for the next few days and these don't include "self isolating for a bloody cold". Quite a turn around from 2020 when she was very much all about staying in the house. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
