Anti Dementors Party with Patronii

[LilacTree1]

Are you out there, my lovelies?

I would definitely do that!

I think come September when furlough is about to end and employers are at the end of their tether... People will miraculously all of a sudden want normal back. I feel there'd be a lot more takers for a protest by then.

Cattermole maybe they at least could sort out some pain relief on prescription for her. I also recommend Benenden Health but is needs 6 months period for referrals, however GP line form the start. I have used this for surgery in the past and was good.

The dementors will be forced to give way at some point very soon as the costs of this nonsense is astronomical. Quite a lot of people will soon be told to come into work, so what will they do with their children? A large proportion will be made unemployed and need to find other work, there will be a rise in homelessness. The counter argument will soon win, if for no other reason than we can’t afford as a country to sustain this.

You know what this thread need?

MORE COWBELL!!!

Hello!

Planning an exciting family picnic at one of the local parks this weekend.

I’ve woken up , too early and just thought
Argh, with a sinking feeling in my stomach
I’m with you NUFC, I feel for the children too. I’m a nana to 6. Three have never been to school but that doesn’t mean they don’t miss their activities .
Me and dh have had it quite easy Really. We’ve been out most days. I think 6 is probably the most days we’ve spent in and they’ve been hot ones usually.
Our freedom being curtailed, holidays, music gigs is what’s got to us.
I don’t want anyone staying lockdown to protect me and dh, we will protect ourselves. We take good care of our health. It’s all nonsense anyway.
As I drove home last night from our early evening Indian picnic in the woods I passed a wide open playpark in amongst a social housing area ( I’m only mentioning this as it’s not fenced off, unless they fence it off) so all the swings and things are freely available.
It on the way to my sons house so I’m going to make sure I pass it often and I hope to see children playing on it.
I shall report back to you if I do. It’s a wide open area bordered by housing on all sides
Maybe children would feel very vulnerable and obvious playing there
My son lives in another social housing area and when I passed the other day mums and dads were sat in the front, with lots of kids mingling together...yayyy

No social distancing at all going on

Btw can you think of another name for Nicola sturgeonfish..wee nippy just sounds too cute 😡

Health visitor today to see if even as a key worker I’ve gone insane enough to qualify for any childcare before 11 August.

We fall into a very unusual camp which means we kind of do and kind of don’t qualify.

We are affluent, middle class and live in quite a big house but my husband and I are now burnt out, arguing, tears most days and the children are now evidently starting to develop habits that are a reaction to this enforced isolation.

We need help. I just don’t think we will get it.

Definitely Bakewell 'stay scared, stay superior'!

Does nobody call Oor Nicky "Wee Jimmie Krankie" any more?

Knobchops..my heart sank when this furlough scheme was extended to October
Our town looks a mess . Hardly any council gardening been done. Boris said if you can’t do your job from home, you come in to work
The country heard...stay at home and downed tools
It’s ridiculous..if people like my son, who is a carer can go into a dozen different homes each day, I’m sure someone from the council can get the lawn mower out...jeez!

I cleaned the bathroom with flash with bleach yesterday, horrible stuff but does the job and thought I’d try the fucking face mask
Just a horrible experience, hot sweaty and I could still smell the bastard stuff
No wonder people wear them under their chins
Probably the safest place!

I thought that about the Krankies too but had been holding back so far...

Catermole..poison dwarf came to my mind from lucy Ewing in Dallas..god she was vile..but it’s probably not pc to use that expression any more..

I need to know this. In the whole world, has any specific event or weather condition resulted in a spike of infections? And if not, why doesn't some helpful expert point this out to the nation? Half the threads on here would disappear and Facebook would melt but god the relief.

Imagine pretty much living your life in the hope that incidences of an illness would rise on the day you said it would.

Martin Lewis last night mentioned the R word, he said that (currently unknown) changes are coming with the furlough scheme and that will be the point some businesses will maybe start to look at redundancies. The changes to come, I guess, are to avoid there being a cliff edge but people will need to start going back to work.

Whatever someone's opinion on the timeframe, there is an overall expectation that come July plans for returning will need to start being actioned.

I saw someone say that we wouldn't see the VE day spike for months...if that's the case then why are our figures dropping? Surely if it takes months we should be seeing the reverse because it's been months since we were all out living normal lives.

I don't understand why people are so desperate for there to be a spike. If people haven't been social distancing and there isn't a spike then isn't that a good sign that the virus isn't as contagious/as lethal as people make out?!

I don't understand why people are so desperate for there to be a spike.

To validate their cultish behaviour?

I'm drifting into a stoical cynicism; I don't see things drifting anywhere particuarly good in the coming months. Every day seems like February 30th.

Confession time for me!

I've never clapped. On top of it just being fundamentally cringe, I find it a very unpleasant combination of slacktivism and virtue signalling. It's not actually doing a damn thing for the NHS, but it is enabling small-minded conformists to broadcast how very virtuous and lockdowny they are and how deficient others are for not joining in. If people find it genuinely uplifts them, great, but I'm looking forward to it stopping. I also can't stand the fact that brands and politicians have jumped on it as a cheap populist gesture.

I have also kept up my nannyshare right through this, other than the first 3 weeks of lockdown in which in any case we were isolating for Covid. Once that was done, the other family and we agreed to act as one household for infection control purposes and cracked on, and I don't have a single regret. Without other kids to play with I think my DS would have been sad, angry, and lost by now, and as it is he's had some great times.

It occurred to me today that the dementor mentality is not unlike the crabpot mentality, in that they can't stand the idea that some people aren't as miserable as them so they have to pull them back down

Yes. Its EXACTLY this. They cannot bear anyone being optimistic about anything or anyone having hope that this will be over at some point. I saw in one thread yesterday someone warning "deaths went up today, dont be too optimistic"- like, really? you WANT people to be depressed and miserable?- bloody hell, its just unbelievable.What on earth will that person do when this is over? they'll be devastated wont they? its sick.

I do quite like the idea of being a cult member, I'm kinda bored now and ive watched everything on netflix. Being a cult member would certainly pass some time and be something out of the ordinary to do!
Who is knitting the robes? - can I request black and gold as they are my colours?

Morning all...sorry I'm late, I was on the phone with DD congratulating her on her anti-dementoring. She was going to a golf course (which is open), without any golfing kit and was told that she shouldn't be going there and to go home. Her reply..." see that golf-pro shop?..See that flat above it?...guess who lives there? Enjoy your golf oh and don't lick the golf balls you might catch something". Never have I been more proud.

Went to a garden centre yesterday. The one I often go to had four yellow vested staff outside interrogating visitors and directing them. No idea what was inside and drove past.

Then looping round (sprogette in car - she knows to say if stopped that we are out on a blended nature drive + walk and she's ticked off all the plants on the list apart from Red Fescue) I saw a place I had always thought was a builder's yard. No it was a garden centre.

Wonderful. Repeated A4 compliance messages pinned up saying they had risk assessed, staff who could water plants from home were doing so and please stay 2m apart. That was it. Relaxed, people giving space, retireds clearly meeting up for a chat over the Auriculas.

H.L. Mencken's definition of Puritanism seems to fit a Dementor well... "The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy"

stay scared, stay superior

A couple of days ago I saw a poster on another thread say they’d only been out three times in nine weeks. By this point I can only see that people doing that either suffer from extreme health anxiety and genuinely think there’s a miasma of covid floating over everything outside their house, or they were never bothered about leaving their house before so this is absolutely no hardship, or finally, are getting some kind of perverse, puritanical pleasure out of denying themselves any kind of freedom while loving sitting in judgement of us sinners.

"The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy

OMG its them!- this is their motto- its literally them!!

Oh yeah, ive seen someone brag on here that they are going shopping "every 6 weeks because they dont want people to die". They weren't shielding or anything- it was literally to showcase how unbelievably pure and noble and un-selfish they are that theyre going without food for the sake of other people's lives. I could almost smell burning martyr emanating from the screen!

Clever response there Lizzy

Though I'm hoping I'm not the only one who had to turn to Google.
