Disability_Scooter If I hadn’t had the jab, I’d be in a much worse state I’d imagine - you know how the vaccine works right? You thick fucking cunt.

    Shite that, sorry to hear Grant.

    On the plus side, I know a shite house ‘dj’ that could now be available for warmup duties

      That’s a nightmare G, so sorry to hear that mate. Hope it doesn’t fuck you over.

      Disability_Scooter The best part is, now you’ve had Covid you won’t need any boosters because infection gives you almost unlimited immunity without the need for further intervention.

      This is absolutely false.

        Know several people who have had it twice. One was within 4 months of the first infection.

        Shite news that mate. Hopefully you can salvage something from this with your trip to Puerto Rico.

        Does me absolutely no good as I can’t change my flight for the big surprise I had planned but w/e.

          zackster What about the cake I was baking for you to jump out of? Ruined!

            Bloody hell that’s a shame Grant

            Meh. Who cares. If he wants to waste his time penning nonsense that nobody reads I say let him. I think we police ourselves quite well. Sans us allowing Alistair to post Anjuna records.

                That’s a shit one .

                I’m currently isolating because my youngest is coughing his lungs up and we are waiting for test results. That’s the 3rd time he’s had to go for a test now - the element of surprise has gone and now he just hates me for it.

                Well he can grow a pair of minerals. I put up with him calling me PongFarter which has caused me to cry myself to sleep at times. The racist.

                  Quality clips those.

                  When I feel better, I’d imagine my missus will be dragging out my well worn phrase “I drink because I love the taste of it” and it’ll be fully tested as I won’t be able to taste anything for another three weeks.

                  Not tasting anything is possibly the worst side-effect. Apart from the death bit.

                    Do you know what doesn’t get Covid?

                    The kitchen sink.

                    Which will be out in full force when you make a recovery Grant.

                    Godspeed brother, we will meet again.

                      Smallman1 we will meet again.

                      Now can’t get the image out of my head of you, dressed as Vera Lynn in a sepia tinted photo, singing, “We’ll meet again…” to welcome the demob boys home at the end of World War 2…

                        Along_the_Wire The non tasting bit was a godsend with Claire’s cooking 😜

                        Rest up Brother.

                          Sorry to hear that Grant. Its really bad out there at the minute.

                          Sorry to hear that, G. Get well soon, buddy.

                          Rubbish one. We’ve had to do a round of pcr’s as there are now, for the first time, a number of cases at the little one’s nursery. I’m sort of amazed its taken this long for it to hit the nursery - but it does maybe speak to a rise in cases at the moment.

                          It’s everywhere - schools and nurseries especially - it’s where I got it from.

                          The gov wants shooting for deciding that they’ve done enough and now it’s time to get back to work. Fucking cunts.

                          Mutterings Germany are about to go into another lockdown. Wouldn’t surprise me if it happens here.

                            You still get textures and your taste buds pick up bits here and there and your brain tries to piece the 2 together (at least mine did).

                            I went to town on an amazing Indian takeaway which I wanted to make sure I got in before I lost mine. Discovering you’ve lost your sense of smell and taste as you bite into a tandoori lamb chop starter with £70’s worth of food sitting in front of you is a cruel cunt.

                            Mostly back now thankfully but still a little muted

                                I agree with the government - things have to get back to normal. Take the booster when offered and move on.

                                Germany et al are in this mess because they opened up later than us as much as anything else.

                                    Along_the_Wire Things aren’t back to “normal” though are they? People are still dying, hospitals are under intense pressure and it’s going to become a permanent thing - catch covid once or twice a year and just get on with it. Fuck that. It’s fucking awful and despite being double vaxxed, people can still become really ill.

                                    If they want to go down that route, make vaccinations and mask wearing mandatory.

                                        Yeah, got a lot of that yesterday, but worse today - the brain definitely tries hard to plug the gap, but it’s failing me now

                                            Along_the_Wire I mostly kept my taste but my smell completely went other than a weird chemically smell that seemed to be blocking anything getting through. Still getting pangs of it now in the second week but my smell is getting better every day.
