zackster you just described my province to the letter. that’s depressing.
I’ve just seen the list of businesses that can stay open during Lockdown 3 in the UK? I mean, what is the fucking point, you may as well just open the whole thing up ffs.
What an utterly depressing time we live in.

Same problem in the USA. Every single small biz lobbies their Governor and gets approval to stay open. Can’t entirely blame them either as both the owners and employees will lose money if they can’t work. Paying people to stay home is the only way to handle this, and we would rather kill people than allow that to happen.

Can you share Dan?
I’m absolutely chocking for a pint in a boozer.

Our government have royally fucked the small business/self-employed world in the UK. You have a whole constituency of roughly 3m people who have not received a penny of support during the pandemic. The type of people who any other time would have been all over the Conservative Party with their support and they’ve pretty much been told to spend your savings, take mortgage holidays, use your investment money and get on with it.
-si- diners, drive ins and dives
Love that show. One way ticket to flavortown.
If you can grab a beer at builders merchants or a garden centre you’ll be quids in. Otherwise, get yourself down Threashers mate.
Heard today of a covid case where the person caught it despite their only outing/contact being going to the shops… fark - bolt the doors and hide in the cellar!
Jules72 My Mrs is a contact tracer. She is hearing this more and more. She’s a pretty good judge of character and during the first wave knew most were bullshitting/dimbos saying they didn’t know how they caught it when in fact they were going to pubs/eateries/plague raving
Now the tone is completely different. One woman only went out to go to Waitrose…….Waitrose! No one gest COVID in Waitrose FFS…..
UK is hitting it out the park with the stats each day . Is everyone just walking around licking each other?

Chinese city of 10m odd had a total of 18 cumulative covid cases last week.. so they start mass testing… all 10m people.. and because they don’t believe in PCR tests (yet apparently our muppets believe in lateral flow tests) they’re having a second round of testing this week. That’s how you do it.. fucks sake - so frustrating hearing stuff like this.
Now that’s what you call testing!
Smallman1 fancy emigrating?
I don’t want to emigrate but I do welcome the Chinese take over of my country. I am sorry, but it can’t be any more oppressive than the sweet freedom I currently enjoy. I will gladly give up my ability to talk shit about the supreme leader if it means I am healthy and taken care of.
My Mrs is doing the test booking calls. Chancers like Ed ringing up to book a test so they can go to Dubai etc. We are literally doomed.

What is it with Dubai atm? Between djs, thirst posters, and dick friends I see at least one person there a week. Looks like no masks to restrictions either.
Its another life, Millsy. Literally, fuck everybody else so longs I get to go to on holiday.
zackster bottom of the travel bucket list unless you like shopping in the desert. When there are so many amazing places in the world, why the fck would anyone go to Dubai?
zackster dunno mate. Basically a shopping mall in the desert where you can’t get spangle dangled or off your pickle. Plus there’s no bacon or black pud on the belly buster menu. And the locals have zero bantz.
My Mrs just spoke to some dimtard with COVID who had just got back from MnS buying underpants for her old man…..
Lock the doors indeed
