The long nights are going to be really grim here- it goes dark by 3:45 in mid-Winter and the sun doesn't rise until well after 8 am, it's bad enough 'normally' without a feeling of being trapped.

This is where Tony flourishes.

That's an even scarier thought than the dark itself...

Fuck, that sounds pretty rough. Hope those things improve, or don't get any worse at least. May and June this year were unremittingly grim for me, but that was mostly down to a relationship exploding a few weeks into lockdown, and then not being able to take my mind off it with anything else.

Thanks - probably reads worse than the reality. Many people are a lot worse off than me. Relationships are difficult enough at the best of times so having issues like you’ve described in a lockdown situation must have been shocking.

 

In my case we’ve always got through our rocky moments, in part, by being able to give each other some space. Being locked down right now would be a total disaster.

Which is obviously fairly trivial stuff compared to the housing and financial concerns other people have. I'm incredibly fortunate in that respect, and my heart goes out to anyone having to face those issues. Really hope the eviction ban and furlough scheme are extended.

I wonder if that applies to the Scottish one that was released a few weeks ago. I haven't seen anyone complaining about the same problem.

I put the app on my phone this morning. I've noticed since then my "Google" usage in the battery has gone through the roof. And then the real test, using it to check in to "hospitality venues". So far a 100% record. Of failure. 3 locations and the qr code scan has failed in every one. It's absolutely fucking shit. Just what is the point?

Yeah we were on the slide anyway, and her moving in just lit the fuse, really. It didn't help that she started living with with an actual underwear model a few weeks later, though. The old ego did not enjoy that development one little bit.

I’m sure you have qualities she doesn’t get from the underwear model. Looking the business in briefs isn’t everything you know.

Yeah I'm not arsed now. In June I was absolutely obsessed with achieving a six-pack, though.

[Barrington Womble]

More Zoe bad news, up 4000 from yesterday. And people with symptoms up an incredible amount.

Certainly not good news about the reinfections. Not good news for herd immunity, not good news for a vaccine.

 

All the more reason not to go into another lockdown. We cannot pretend that the only thing that kills people is Covid.

Surely Duff Man already has several.

Stockport likely to go back under stronger rules which is annoying as Izzy was supposed to go on a sleep over tomorrow.  
 

Meanwhile in Germany...

Surely such an infinitesimal amount of reinfections tells us virtually nothing? Out of millions and millions of people, there are a handful of people reinfected? Is that not just a statistical anomaly?

[Spy Bee]

I don't know why everyone is going on about a second lockdown. I just cannot see it happening.

Not looking forward to another six months stuck at home. Mrs Kurtz starts her full time university course on Monday and kids are back at school so it will just be me and the two beagles from 9- 3 most days. I’ve worked in offices amongst people for 30 years now so this isolation is very surreal. I miss the conversation, the laughs, the football rivarly, even the commute where I could read in piece for 2 hours each day. Really think I am going to struggle with this.  I know there’s a much bigger picture etc but I am not looking forward to this at all. 

Try being an old lady who is coming to terms with losing a leg in some cunts garden.

 That depends on what happens over the coming six months. Yes. Six months.

 

While the Tory Master of Muppets has been working his eccentric charms over Brexit and writing new laws that make no sense to the average human, the public have responded to him best mate Cummings' blatant bullshit by raising the middle finger to his nonsense. What we have now is the result of that magnificent cunts' work.

I’m surprised the human race managed to survive so long.  I mean all those diseases, dirty water not to mention war and famines when we’re all gonna die because of wearing a mask and having to stay in watching telly for 6 months.  

[Rico1304]

Things may be different for a bit, but we’ve had

more change in the last 200 or so years than arguably ever before.  

[Duff Man]

Haven't pandemics been the number 1 threat on risk registers for quite a while now? Sure I remember reading that somewhere

You could change that to the last 30 years mate.

Priests mate. Get with the times.
