Spot on.

There is the real problem. And what are the famous "big five" doing ? 

Unlimited money for planes, tanks and subs....

 

Probably the same as 99% of the rest of the world's super rich, whatever they want.

Aberdeen beach yesterday, what a wonderful tribute.

So they're closing the beaches now ?

How more stupid can you go ?

Like it's the nice seabreeze that's carrying the virus ?  

Well if people never gathered in groups then the beaches might not have been closed.

I think you knew that though.

Yep, I normally go to a cracking outdoor beer festival in July. in the UK. Would love to get something like that back again

I'd say this year is a no no. Hopefully all is back to normal next year and people can again enjoy going to the football, concerts, festivals and such.

They've got people so scared of their own shadow, now people are dining out in greenhouses with the serving staff wearing PPE.

 

I think it's a great idea.

Thanks for posting it's a really good video.

It is actually worth watching, a business being entrepreneurial and inventive to work around the restrictions and the Dutch public welcoming. As a customer you have to book and such was the demand 240 greenhouses were booked in day😀

Nothing to do with people being scared, they are having to work within  the Dutch Government's restrictions. I

At present with no prospect of having a draught beer in a pub, I'd happily sit or stand outdoors if I meant I could have one. Me and millions of others in the UK right now would be the same.

I think it's a great idea and I'd certainly use it. I'd use it before Covid came along.

Trying to direct people by offering snippets of info doesn't really help in the overall discussion. Once all the evidence is on the table then the blame game can begin. 

Your comment..... 'It makes me smile the whole West blaming the "infamous" Wuhan P4 lab .....' seems to be trying to direct people away from the presently accepted overall view of the virus origin by only putting the bits you have highlighted in your post. I apologise if that was not your intention.

It is important info but doesn't change the view of where the origin of the virus took place so wondering why it made you smile......that's all.

Correct, lot of finger pointing at the moment without having all the facts.

A Thai gal came over last night .. we were talking and of course the Wuhan virus came up ...

It was her belief that the Wuhan Virus was started in the USA .... that the Americans have caused this ....

 

And if she read it on Facebook then you can be sure it's true. 😎😎😎😎

Costa chaos as motorists queue for HOURS at drive-throughs https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8284275/Costa-chaos-motorists-queue-HOURS-drive-throughs.html?ito=native_share_article-top

 

Sad bastards 

Why are the Police even allowing that...

I'd taser the lot of them .. 🙄

Queuing for hours just to get a coffee, the mind boggles.

Oh but it's Costa coffee.

^^^^ Yea .. e-books I am not into either ..

I don't mind audio books - listen to while I fall asleep ...

But nothing better than a regular book ....

Bought myself a kindle about two years ago, it's in a drawer somewhere. As you say can't beat a regular book.

Some on here need to take a step back and just relax. So someone doesn't agree with your view or what you posted, FFS deal with it like a grown up.

Please reread my post.

 

I have and I still come to the same conclusion, you won't wear a mask. This is not wearing a mask so why even bother.

That's exactly the way I wear it when I am obliged to wear one. Not later than this morning when going for bread and to the supermarket with the Miss.

And I am not the only one. 

Without the Miss often I don't even bother. But when with her the problem is that you will ALWAYS have some A.H. who will make a comment to her, and I simply want to avoid that.

 

Why even bother to wear it like that. If you don't want to wear a mask then don't wear one, hold your ground and point blank refuse to wear one.

Only a 15 minute downpour but had some mega cracks of lightening. Even my dog that is normally chilled during storms was in hiding. 

You and your team are doing a great job, donation made.

yeah, the situation's ever changing, too many maybes and not enough plans with hard facts and dates.

Your right, seems many governments are just making it up as they go along. A week later everything changes again, rinse and repeat. 

I'll just sit it out here and take it as it comes, being an ex service hand who mostly worked ad-hoc this is a piece of piss.

Fish fingers, first time in ages. Most enjoyable

That's proper old school food.

I'd remove the pickled onions though and have them with a slice of plastic cheese to make a cheese and onion sandwich.

The bad part is that there is sooo much that is not known yet. 

I agree with this 100%

No one really knows what this virus is all about. It will take years to fully understand just what this virus is all about.

You can say that again. They had a meeting yesterday to decide what to do, but then had to have another meeting to make the announcement on extending the state of emergency, and yet still no word on what restrictions, if any, are going to be eased. You'd think that was all discussed at the previous meetings, but maybe they need another one followed by a meeting to announce what the last meeting decided.

That's why I always wait for the official announcement to the official announcement.

Sturgeon on the telly again, telling us now to wear "face coverings" then admits they do not know if they are effective, but wear them anyway. What next ? Wire brush and Dettol ??

 

NOT A FUCKIN CLUE

I switch off as soon as she comes on, she really is hopeless.

What a beauty, it only flowers occasionally, see what this lockdown has done to me, turned me into a gardener 😬   

Have the same bush in our garden, ours was in full bloom a few days ago.

All this crazy transfer fees and salaries could well come back to haunt these clubs. 

Might even bring football back in to the real world. 

 

I really hope it does as the EPL has lost its identity. It's been totally ruined by money.

They need to finish the season. 

Cricket is on hold until at least 1st July. 

£750 Million clubs would have to pay back to Sky/BT if they don't.
