Here I am!

Orangeblossom78 · 11/06/2020 17:11

Hello - just had another one from school

"I do hope that you and your families emerge unscathed, if that is possible"

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 11/06/2020 17:13

Wales, you total bastard, I wanted to do this one! Grin

Hello all. My my, we do crack through these threads don't we?

DominaShantotto · 11/06/2020 17:17

Checking in - not got much to say really - DH is pissed off with me frothing about the bullshit.

LivinLaVidaLoki · 11/06/2020 17:18

Love it!
Checking in.
Also have just read that all social distancing measures on the isle of man are to be scrapped.

Orangeblossom78 · 11/06/2020 17:18

Feel a bit bad posting that from school actually. They might mean mentally as well

Cattermole · 11/06/2020 17:18

Indeed @HesterShaw1 that is a load of sweaty hairy bollocks isn't it?
Surely the universe is going to run out of shit to throw at us shortly?

Waleshasgonecompletelycrazy · 11/06/2020 17:21

@SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito - You can do the next one I promise...Unless someone else wants to! (Although Blackboard Monitor is definitely the most responsible title here)!

Checking in. @Willow2017, I'll stay on firm ground at the zoo with you. What's your favourite?

TheGreatWave · 11/06/2020 17:25

I'll be the coat stand whilst you all go on the rides.

I think I have worked out why I feel so "arrghh" today. There is too much raining on me mentally: lockdown, work, then BLM, the statues and the JK Rowling situation. The latter three just feeling like everyone has an opinion and all earnestly want me to agree with them. Everywhere I look someone else has an opinion or is slagging off someone else's. I need to step away from FB, Twitter and the main boards on here for a while I think.

Hello 👋

ShoeJunkie · 11/06/2020 17:29

Hello! Haven’t got round to commenting on the last few threads as they’ve moved so fast!
I have to say this week really feels like I’ve hit the wall. My house suddenly feels very claustrophobic and there are too many people in it. Sad

Laniakea · 11/06/2020 17:29

denouncing utilitarian shopping I bought a chair today (Ikea), chortled at the chin hammocks (I'm not sure if this is countrywide but it is very much A Thing in our town), accidentally subverted their one way system (in my defence I was not the only one) ... got home in time to yell at Matt the Wanker Hancock & drink gin.

Dh has booked some emergency leave ... amongst other things I'm trying to sort ds1's EHCP. I am not happy.

FluffyKittensinabasket · 11/06/2020 17:29

A lot of dementors are now gnashing their teeth due to redundancy but a few weeks ago were shouting at people to stay home and that going to the supermarket is murder.

Can’t have it both ways.

PickAChew · 11/06/2020 17:30

Pretty crappy news hester

Back to the 2m rule, it's going to need to be reduced, at least outside, or else there will be no room for all the queues as places open. I'm already running out of places to stand and wait for dh to pick me up with my shopping!

justasking111 · 11/06/2020 17:30

Our olde worlde sweet shoppe has re-opened. I bought bags of little sweets for grand children and a big bag of sweets for DS. I saw a few shops with lights on and people inside them having a head scratch re social distancing perhaps. All good news. The smell coming from the chippy made me hungry too.

Nihiloxica · 11/06/2020 17:31

@TheGreatWave - yeah I have pretty much come off FB and Twitter now.

Twitter seems to have gone from an Indignation Machine to an Irrational Mob machine.

It wouldn't matter in the slightest if crap journalists didn't treat stuff that happens on one of the least popular social networks as news.

Talk about bias.

HesterShaw1 · 11/06/2020 17:33

Checking glumly in.

Thanks for the sympathy :(

trappedsincesundaymorn · 11/06/2020 17:33

Yaay my suggestion for thread title made the cut.....I feel like I've won a bottle of the good wine in a village fete. Grin

MinesaPinot · 11/06/2020 17:35

Ooh a shiny new thread!

thenightsky · 11/06/2020 17:38

I wonder if lockdown deaths will be put down as covid deaths.

(sorry, that's just carrying on from what I was reading on the previous thread).
