@Drivingdownthe101
Their heads would have exploded if they'd known that the community police team left an Easter egg on our doorstep for DS...
Can just see the frothing now
"But, but, Easter eggs, but, grannies, but, but, frontline, but errrr" BANG 🤯

LivinLaVidaLoki · 07/06/2020 19:47

@TrustTheGeneGenie I'll have a look, if there isn't one......I'm sure we can start one.

dingit · 07/06/2020 19:47

Today felt a bit more normal when we visited RHS Wisley.
Most people walking round without masks and not leaping out the way.
The only weird thing was the loos. A sign up saying only one in at a time, but inside every other cubicle locked up with big yellow stickers for distancing Confused

BlackberryViolet · 07/06/2020 19:47

Livin, our local rags have been an utter disgrace. Scaremongering, total crap and shoddy statistics. They really do seem to be playing to dementors with utter crap on their Facebook pages designed to get them riled upAngry

GoldenOmber · 07/06/2020 19:48

I had a work colleague claim to me back at the start that the picture on her Facebook was army vehicles ready to be deployed at our local rugby stadium

Grin brilliant

What this reminds me of is that rumour last year that the Queen had died. Even though everyone saw the exact same WhatsApp message some people on here still needed to dress it up as if they knew for sure. “I have been reliably informed that it’s true.” “DH is in a very important role, can’t say much as outing, and sadly this is the case I’m afraid.” And then of course it was t true and it turned out that all the insider info anyone had what a screenshotted WhatsApp message from someone called Gibbo.

But aye, I’m sure that your sister’s mate who works in a hospital has been told when the second wave is definitely going to hit Grin

We must be all be crows.
Cos....(the Junior Mole LOVES ravens and crows etc) a flock of crows is a murder, apparently, and here we be, murdering away en masse.
My piece of useless information here is done!

BogRollBOGOF · 07/06/2020 19:55

Plenty of bogrolls in the supermarkets last night.

No need for me to stock up yet... I prematurely picked up a bag in Feb in Costco so we had about 80 rolls in the house. No contributing to the great bogroll shortage of 2020. We did a bit of prep buying through Feb/ early March and when all the panic buying kicked off, I just needed a small fresh top-up and left dwindling shelves to those with a greater need.

I think bogroll is pretty essential when you haven't used any other toilet in 11 weeks and counting... I lie... I detoured to the big shopping centre mid-long run just over a month ago.

Curious thing here. Neighbours son is a paramedic went down with classic covid symptoms a month ago. The hospital tested him on day 5 and sent him home. The test came back negative. They are going to test him again next week.

Lol I remember that one. There was lots of fuss as the breakfast tv presenters were wearing dark colours (before the supposed 9.30 announcement of liz's demise) which proved it was going to happen. I think one of them was wearing a leather skirt which wouldn't have been my choice as suitable mourning wear.

Also remember threads at the beginning of lockdown suggesting that someone pick up their kids flip flops from the supermarket rather than order proper shoes online and that someone else should darn socks rather than doing their shop at big sainsburys 5 miles away (as opposed to the local co-op) so they could pick some up.

TheGreatWave · 07/06/2020 19:57

Local MP FB page full of the spike in two weeks because of the protests. The government and the media have done an excellent job of making people think that the virus is everywhere.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 07/06/2020 19:57

Apparently the Duke of Edinburgh died at the start of lockdown and they haven't told us yet
Blimey
He must whiff a bit by now

LivinLaVidaLoki · 07/06/2020 19:57

@BlackberryViolet
Yet oddly at the start of all of this, weren't the government telling us all to go out and buy newspapers....support the trade or something.

Drivingdownthe101 · 07/06/2020 20:01

Oh yes, we weren’t even supposed to be ordering anything online according to the dementors were we, in case we murdered 15 Hermes delivery drivers.

BarkandCheese · 07/06/2020 20:01

Hello new thread. Back at the start I was very disturbed by a picture someone posted of a nightingale hospital. I showed what looked like an aircraft hanger with neatly spaced out rows of basic camp types beds, someone else posted on the thread that it looked like a place you would be sent to die and I couldn’t shake both the image and the idea of this. Except a few days later I saw an actual picture of a nightingale hospital and it looked nothing like that, and I realised I’d been had, what I’d been so upset about was most probably a picture of an emergency shelter, the sort of thing set up to house displaced people after something like an earthquake not a hospital to die in.

On a more cheery note I had a good afternoon murdering on a crazy golf course. Even though it rained through half of our game it was great, DH commented how nice it was to be out doing something.

BlackberryViolet · 07/06/2020 20:04

@LivinLaVidaLoki, yes I remember that. Now they couldn’t possibly be trying to manipulate people, or am just an cynicGrin

Littlebelina · 07/06/2020 20:04

My Hermes delivery driver is still alive and well, which is great as she is fabulous. I did feel guilty ordering online at the beginning of lockdown but now over it. My 1 year old grows and needs new clothes.

Drivingdownthe101 · 07/06/2020 20:06

My Hermes driver calls me by a nickname, I have so many deliveries.

justasking111 · 07/06/2020 20:07

Drove past the golf course this afternoon the car park was rammed never seen it so busy. A lot of murdering there today then Grin

CountessFrog · 07/06/2020 20:07

Our local schools have announced a delay to returning. The local R rate is 0.4

TheGreatWave · 07/06/2020 20:07

It was amazing how any journey made was definitely going to result in major car accident, if you cycled you would fall off into a ditch, running you would fall off a kerb and break your ankle.

Yes I know these things could happen, but chances are still pretty low, but if it wasn't the virus that would leave you dead on the street, all these things would.

TheGreatWave · 07/06/2020 20:09

And if you didn't crash, you would still breakdown and the AA would have to come and we all know what would happen next.

SudokuBook · 07/06/2020 20:10

Surely the R rate is only helpful in context? I don’t get why it keeps getting parroted around in isolation

HauntedGoatFart · 07/06/2020 20:11

I plan to flaunt my flouting as I flock to everywhere that'll fucking have me.

Spent the afternoon in PILs' house illegally, not distancing even slightly. It was fucking lovely. Cuddles there were many. They were knocked sideways by how much DS2, who had just turned 2 when they saw him last, had changed in nearly 3 months.

So true. I remember someone justifying having a go at someone else driving a short distance in a 30mph zone on almost empty roads by explaining that a person local to them had crashed into a building at low speed on a quiet road, and therefore needed hospital treatment taking up precious NHS time.
TheGreatWave · 07/06/2020 20:12

The Hermes woman knows DH by name.

He assures me this is just because he is always signing parcels for next door.
