Been meaning to start this thread for a few months now, and given the current state of affairs, now seems as good a time as any. I don't ever recall a period in my lifetime where the NHS has ever been in the spotlight as much as it is now. As we all know, and I I said last night, it's been stripped to it's bare bones and if it weren't for the dedication of those working on the front line, especially right now, fuck knows what state this country would be in. It's far from perfect but that's hardly it's own fault but during the last few weeks, I've seen some stuff that's wound me up a bit. I seen similar stuff in the run up to the GE. It fucking pisses me off when I see NHS employees cosying up to Tory MPs when it's these same shower of cunts who've done nothing but run it into the ground for the last ten years. Over the last couple of weeks I've seen two or three higher end NHS staff IMO, down play the current situation and give the impression that they're coping. I cant help but feel this should be a time when they make the most of it's/they're plight and I feel now is a time for them to be more vocal about how bad things really are. Tonight is another one of those nationwide applause events but I wont be taking part again. Not because I don't think they deserve all the credit they get but because my overriding memory from the previous one was that cunt Boris Johnson and the other cunt Rishi Sunak using it as a means to promote themselves and the Tory party. I've had enough of seeing the shower of bastards wearing those little NHS badges as if they care when in reality, they couldn't give a single fuck about it. IMO, these applause events should be a show of strength that we want them at the very least given the correct PPE and testing to protect themselves to protect us. To end on a positive note, if it wasn't for the NHS and the team at Broadgreen Heart & Chest dept, chances are my dad would either be dead or wouldn't have long left. The NHS is one of the very few things that make living in this fucking country bearable.

Came out lovely

I’ve been starting every day when The Chase comes on. Then an E some time around 8. Apart from weekends when I start much earlier and finish much later.

Did Captain Cook bring those over on Endeavour?

I've learnt how to use a jet washer in an arty way

Voted 'always sunny' for several reasons: Spite To make it close at the death To curry favour with fans of the show Evertonian levels of bitterness

The PL should declare that whatever happens we will be champions. Then everybody could just concentrate on doing what is best for the sport instead of pursuing their prejudices.

Her: People have been furlonged in work today Me: What do you mean, furlonged? Her: This is what they call it when you get laid off, but you don't get laid off Me: Have you spoke to people today about people being Furlonged? Her: Yes Me: What did they say when you said people had been furlonged, did they say much, look funny at you? Her: Yes, how do you know, no one really wants to talk about it, everyone must be upset Me: Yep, that'll be it, dead upset. What do you fancy for tea, horse? Her: What? Me: nothing

Choose a song, right click on it (or touch the three dots next to the song if you're on your phone). It'll come up in the menu. It'll generate a playlist based on the chosen song. Enjoy!

Goes without saying this is the greatest power ballad of all time.

It won't. The Labour party is nowhere to be seen in holding them to account, the majority of mainstream media is completely right wing, the BBC has lost all ability to do its job, and the Tories will get off scot free.

Nearly a year sober as I’m in recovery. The old demons have been swirling around a bit more due to the current situation though. Perfectly normal I suppose. I’m a nurse as well so the thought of dealing with work in the current climate and relapsing and going in hungover etc doesn’t bear thinking about. If I can get through this without having a bevvy I’ll look back on this period and be proud of myself.

I've just purposely renewed my subscription to rep Jim Lahey. And neg Stronts.

I always remember a friend from school went around believing (for at least a year) that the singer was actually Eddie Murphy in drag, and that the 'M' in M People stood for 'Murphy'. It became plausible a few years later when Murphy portrayed the female members of the Klump tribe.

Kim Cattrall

Not that I'm one to look at the positives but 200000 have recovered out of that million so far! If you keep looking at the negatives only in a crisis like this you'll end up dying of fright, never mind the virus! Frank Carson, News at Ten, Belfast!

Cool as fuck!

Private Eye

Cranberry Juice?

I was about to neg you and call you a cunt but you didn't. Frasier wins. As it fucking should have ! Have that you new age unfunny bellends

Into the wild; a truly beautiful film. 9/10.

Saw that the other week. Someone said "play the one from when you flew in from New York specifically to vote for cutting people's tax credits"

I like imagine Tony evening are spent like this. Nothing fancy in this household

Because you’re a member of his Sex Workers Club along with Lizzie.

What is the one band or artist that you always end up coming back to when you are pissed? For me, it’s Squeeze. Without fail I’ll wake up after I’ve had a bevy with my Mrs moaning I’ve been playing Up the junction or This summer or a variety of squeeze songs at the top when I go to put something on YouTube. Only occasional deviations to this are Tears for fears and Hall and Oates.

Pesky facts giving a fuller picture rather than someone just scribbling a circle on a graph. This place is going to the dogs!

No point having a conversation with fans who don't want us to win the league about it. Season should just re-start when its safe to do so - "No it should be voided and forgotten about, people are dying its selfish to want that" Oh ok so just save the season as it is, Liverpool who are 25 points clear are champions, relegated sides down etc - "No it should be voided and started again because its not fair , no-one knows if those sides would have gone down" Ok so re-start it when its safe and lets find out - "People are dying" Show me where voiding it and starting it again when its safe over re-starting it when its safe saves lives? - "aaarrrggghhhh you selfish fucking cunts arrraaaa rrraaarrrggghhh"

That would be the Brescia who are 9 points from safety and whose only real hope of salvation is the league being voided ?. I am probably being cynical and he is only doing it through humanitarian concerns.

Me and the missus: Lou Reed, Small Faces. Few people around: Any Jamaican/ British Ska Just me: 'Jump' by Van Halen (live version). \m/

Rapey this morning.

I'm hearing several clubs have contacted Sam Allardyce about his availability today.

Repped for the kind of world class shithousery that we need in these trying times.

If you buy CDs or records it will help, you're far more inclined to listen to an album or give it the time it deserves if you've invested in it and have something tangible than if you just need to click a button in my experience. I've just started using Spotify & when I find something I really like the sound of, I'll order the CD. It's a handy tool but it's not a great way to listen to music. Plus it doesn't sound nearly as good or vinyl or a CD through a good stereo.

I think you lot in here are getting pissed up to cover the deficit from those of us who dont drink at all. 'To the Regiment! I wish I was there.'

This guy is not going to be invited back again.

Usually stuff thats loud....Slayer, Sabbath, Motorhead....

There is no excuse for the half arsed lockdown or the lack of capacity for testing though. And they're both political choices. We knew about this shit two months ago. Italy's lockdown started about four weeks ago. I don't think they're actively looking to wipe out the part of the population that doesn't add economically to the country, but they clearly don't give a shit about increasing the number of deaths amongst them. As I said before, the fact that there have been delays when it comes to hospital beds, etc is largely down to prioritising the profits of private health over the lives of the population. It would be difficult to find a better example of just how callous the views of the government are. I don't think any of this is remotely conspiratorial, and I think people have every right to be fucking angry. It doesn't appear many people are though judging by the support levels for this gang of rabid chancers. As others have said, they know they're untouchable.

You have obviously not been on the political threads in the GF.

You sure Mal? The orangutan has simply ran out of bog roll

Simultaneously the best best Del Amitri song and also the best use of the word synagogue.

I swing wildly from hating it to loving it. IT is a problem as I can't access any work stuff and after two weeks I've only just got my emails. Some of my colleagues arent helping either, drama queen pricks. I'm the only one in my team with kids (2 and 6) so I'm trying to work while getting hassled by/trying to interact with them. Everyone else is set up at home in peace with no distractions (apart from pornhub and Netflix) which must be fucking great but my place is like a mad house. And I know some of them.have got fuck all.work to do while Im flat out. Honestly last week my mobile phone didn't stop going for calls, texts and emails I thought I was going mad and just wanted to flush it down the toilet to escape. I've had to change the ring tone it was setting me on edge! Same this week really since now it's all video calls which are fucking shit. Like on Monday we had to do a short notice team video meeting at 12 but I was putting the two year old down for a nap - who the fuck has meetings at 12 anyway? It just showed that they have no idea what a day is like when you have kids and you're all locked up in the house all day. I also look after our websites and social media so have been getting hammered (by work, not booze) for a week. At some points it's really got me down (like I'd rather just be in the office) but other times I realise I've got to look on the bright side - I get to see my kids all day and take them the park in the afternoon for an hour - when else would this happen? Plus millions of people are in well worse situations than me so I shouldn't moan - at least I'm getting paid etc. So, I keep trying to not let the bad stuff get me down and keep a level head. Ive also been going for late night walks which is a bit weird but I've really enjoyed them as there is virtually no one around. Missing the gym though - really wish I'd been on the ball and bought some weights and a rowing machine. To answer the OP - not really. Been drinking a shit load of tea and coffee though.

That's amazing. I always assumed you were hammered while posting...

I’ve got enough booze in the fridge to get me pissed for well over a week. Six cans of Guinness.

The population is so dumbed down they will just take their chances. Look at the daily farcical press thingy, they just dodge the questions and say "get through it together". All these cunts need is a three or four word slogan and the thick idiots out there who vote for them are like putty in their hand. They absolutely trounced Labour using three words, "get Brexit done". They're fucking Teflon and they know it.

They won't answer for a thing. They will ignore the facts, deny any wrong-doing, deflect and point blame. As per usual.

My kids have realised very quickly in lockdown conditions that dad (for all his flaws) is their ally and that mom (for all her efforts) is a fucking loon.
