This'll be thread number 13, I think.

Let's hope it's a lucky one Grin

Swinney: we’ll no be opening the schools ‘til this Tory Death drug has been fully tested and approved by the Scottish health minister who says we don’t have enough people to test on. Stay home, stay safe, lock your kids up.

Hospital admissions in tayside down to fewer than 5.

Offered to lick the shopkeeper to test transmission this morning. I’d nipped out for essentials such as cornettos, Perthshire strawberries, fags and irn bru.

Oohhh I love cinemas! We have a really good indy cinema ten mins walk from our house which I'm quite worried about so hoping they can find a way to open this summer

AnxiousElephant77 · 16/06/2020 14:38

I'm not going anywhere near any other threads. For now, I'm going to believe in this as good news and not let them beat it out of me.

Dowser · 16/06/2020 14:38

I honestly went out more when we were in hard lockdown
I knew this would happen

However I was full of Tenerife sun, felt amazing and didn’t need an osteopath
Going to crawl out this afternoon
Take dh walkies along the beach before he murders me.
He’s been trapped in since sunday night lol

“ ‘til this Tory Death drug“

🤣🤣🤣

Ibake · 16/06/2020 14:44

Just very bravely went for a peak on the rest of the site. Now obviously I realise that the poor wee mites are probably exhausted after yesterday's extreme dementoring but, dare I say it, it's quite quiet out there. Much more non-dementor threads on the active boards. God, wouldn't that be a joy if we could get back to the normal bollox of line eyes and CF brides.

Orangeblossom78 · 16/06/2020 14:46

They will not like it that it is a basic, cheap drug used for other inflammatory conditions

Would want it it be a special fancy drug just for the corona...

KaronAVyrus · 16/06/2020 14:49

The dementors will be saving themselves for the 2nd wave due to all those BLM protests - it must be about to hit any day now. Just like they predicted with Easter/VE day/beach weekends. 🤦‍♀️

AnxiousElephant77 · 16/06/2020 14:51

I'm steeling myself for the protestors rise in infections and all the dementory madness. That must be due this weekend, after the initial ones.

mylittleyumyum · 16/06/2020 14:52

I not only murdered the elderly in Tesco yesterday, but have also allowed DD2 to expose herself by turning a blind eye as she grabbed the jar of Nutella straight off the conveyer belt and began eating it WITH HER FINGER.

The cashier's jowls were shaking and her eyeballs nearly fell out.

We'll be the talk of the town for quite some time I reckon.

TheGreatWave · 16/06/2020 14:53

Some people here in Scotland think that when Primark opens next Wednesday, there will be scenes of great carnage, clothes strewn on the floor, and stressed out staff sobbing with trauma

So just like any previous day in Primark.

That is why I don't go in - makes me twitch to see the clothes so messy.

Mascotte · 16/06/2020 14:55

"Sadly, we've been told before that a drug can help, I'll believe it when I see it, but won't be going out until people stop DYING!!!"

Mascotte · 16/06/2020 14:55

I've just made that up btw but bet will see it later

ILoveTotoro · 16/06/2020 14:57

Hi everyone

I haven't been able to log in for ages for some reason, suspect I got banned actually so have made a new account...I was a regular poster on the first few threads.

Just waving hello to everyone …. today DH and I and one of the dc went for a walk around Leamington Spa (not our usual town but not too far and fancied a little drive ;) ) it was ...mixed tbh…. H&M, tiger and top shop absolutely brilliant, smiley staff and no stupid arrows. Boots absolutely awful and stressful with stress staff, a ridiculous entry and exit system and arrows as was Tesco metro and massive queues for m&s (only wanted a sandwich - didn't bother). DC got a few side eye looks off people which made me angry as she is 11 and walks lovely and is very sensible.

Still it was nice to do something fairly "normal"

@HesterShaw1

We don't have Gregg's in Cornwall but maybe Warren's is the equivalent? I'll pop down for a pasty I don't even like pasties
No Gregg's in Cornwall? Is that to preserve the superiority of the cornish pasty?
AnxiousElephant77 · 16/06/2020 14:59

I've just spoken to dp, who is particularly stressed at work and his response was 'I don't regard that as good news.'

Jesus, it's being so fucking cheerful that keeps me going Hmm

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 16/06/2020 15:00

15 new cases in Scotland across our 50,000 square miles yesterday. Fucking RIDDLED with it we are.

RhianFuckingMorris · 16/06/2020 15:00

I havnt made it to any shops yet sadly. But looking at this pic from the BBC yesterday I can't wait to queue up like this and maybe lick some faces too whilst I'm there!Grin

Anti dementors are going to hit the shops. Who wants to come?
Ibake · 16/06/2020 15:01

@mascotte I've just turned a watch on for the 'great news about the drug' thread and am going to tell anyone off who gets all mealy mouthed. I've had enough of the negativity I've decided!

rookiemere · 16/06/2020 15:07

Morriszapp (sorry I'm at least 45 minutes behind the times as had some actual work to do) how do you know for sure Primark is open in Scotland next Wednesday?

Fuck off Nicola.

Offered to lick the shopkeeper

And what was the shopkeeper's reaction to your proposal?

LivinLaVidaLoki · 16/06/2020 15:18

@DrearyWallAntler

I think there will be sub 200 deaths reported today.

Anything sub 150 and this has descended into pure farce.

There are 93 reported hospital deaths. The other figure hasn't been added yet.

Or should I have said "93 people in hospital sadly lost their lives"

SockYarn · 16/06/2020 15:19

Now obviously I realise that the poor wee mites are probably exhausted after yesterday's extreme dementoring but, dare I say it, it's quite quiet out there.

Apart from the people saying they would bring ALL their own utensils, plates, bedding, duvets, cushions and pillows to a holiday let.

Fucking bonkers.

Arf at "Tory Death Drug" 😁
