Newbornbairn Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Big Country doing Porrohman live on the Tube in 84 Look at the fucking audience! Bunch of New Romantics and Kajagoogoo wannabes looking bored out of their skulls in the presence of greatness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leewood Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 These constant extentions to the Coronavirus restrictions are really starting to get on my nerves! I think we are all a bit fed up with it now! Just give us a wee bit of light at the end of this tunnel, that we might be able to go out for a pint or a meal sometime in the not too distant! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine, if it were just on bug one at the start, things could be much different now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 People that moan about being on furlough. I understand it from the perspective of being concerned about the possibility of not having a job to go back to, but if your job’s relatively secure and you’re off work and still getting paid then you are/were living the dream. This is especially relevant to the period last summer, I would’ve loved to have been on furlough - I had mates/colleagues who were and had a class time. Then you hear other people moaning about being ‘bored’. f**k me man, how tedious is your life that going to work adds some interest to it. There’s so many different things you could be doing/learning/watching with all that spare time. People who moan about being bored in general wind me up. Cretins with zero imagination. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I was on furlough March to June last year and it was superb. Spent most of me time in the back garden with some #cans. Getting pished on a Tuesday lunchtime was glorious. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I was one of about 4 people in my department of 30 or so who didn't get a day of furlough last year and could've pushed the ungrateful "but it's a bit boring!" c***s down a mineshaft 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Can confirm the wonder that is furlough, and that's despite the loss of income leaving me potless. @jimbaxters understands the importance of having a job that makes a difference. That's why he manually masturbates live animals for artificial insemination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 That's why he manually masturbates live animals for artificial insemination.Lucky man, I just get the dead ones.I've been loving furlough though some of my colleagues have been complaining a lot about being bored. My mother used to say "only boring people are bored" and I think she was right. I understand NBB may not have been entirely serious but there are people who can't enjoy time by themselves unless the TV is on. That's a pretty sad way to go through life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 During furlough (100% pay - yassss) I've been doing a load of new stuff - including blacksmithing and knife making but the neighbours will go nuts if I start banging away on this at 9-10pm However, yes I'm bored of it and really want to get back to work as soon as it's safe. I get to drive around the country staying in nice hotels, dining in nice restaurants - all on expenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
