Theroadlesstravelled Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It's time for the WHO to crawl out of the CCP's arse. This is akin to Traynor saying someone called him sectarian names and threw rocks at him. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52230833 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found it quite moving. Some of my neighbours are self isolating and one family has a member on a ventilator and receiving other life saving care with the virus, for them it was a chance to see their neighbours and they were shouting over and waving to the people across the street. It was nice for them, the impact of having so little social contact must be huge. Yeah I get that about it, and fair fucks. My wife claps every week although hasn't gone quite as far as banging pots and pans. But I understand there's a bit of a feel good thing about it. Just worried it's going to become compulsory or you're scum for not getting involved. Hints of that already on my local fb groups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that enthusiasm will carry through to the next GE and voting for a political party commited to the NHS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like another Poppy fallout but for people who chose not to stand at their doors and clap once a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I am not on facebook and haven't encountered anyone being a twat about clapping. Coincidence? Snap. I dont anticipate even having a conversation with anyone about clapping, and it wont last long if it turns into some sort of point scoring. It's times like this I genuinely wonder why folk have facebook. It might be choc a block with absolute shite just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give almost anything to get back to moaning about our defenders fannying about with the baw and not booting it to fcuk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said its unlike its anything he's felt before. Just feels like he's on fire and this throat is closed up.

Sergeant Wilson Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 1 hour ago, madwullie said: Some guy utterly furious on my local fb page that people weren't out clapping in his street. Pointed out that people can show appreciation in other ways, and that if we make it compulsory to clap we'll end up with a situation like the poppy stuff that goes on every year. Now he's accusing me of being a Celtic supporter This country 56 minutes ago, Father Ted said: I had some eejit on fb, claiming we should have a Live Aid type concert for NHS. Totally ignoring the fact our tax should be paying for it, and all the issues including austerity that are crippling it. Morons, morons everywhere. I'm seeing a common denominator here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
