ADs crave hotel breakfasts garnished with phallic strawberries

[BogRollBOGOF]

Oh for the good old days of a breakfast buffet.

Back when you could make plans and reasonably expect them to happen. When you could turn up spontaneously and browse or linger at your leisure. When you could meet whoever you like and give them a hug

But until those days return, here's some more AD chat about life, the universe and phallic fruits...

@Taswama

Can someone help with legal advice please? The bubble has burst at DS school and he is at home. The letter says they are recommended to self isolate. Is this legally binding or not as it hasn't come from T&T? He obviously won't be going to school but wondering if we go for a family walk...

Whose counting.

Recommended does not mean legally required to. If they were close to the infected person then fair enough, otherwise no, not legally.

I wouldn't take them out in public because people may ask questions.

Out of school time, going places where they will not be in contact with others (a walk) - I would.

but I wou

I've had a great day with DM. It's been her first leisure shopping trip of the year. She was ill prior to lockdown, and ended up developing a nasty, persistant chest infection while in hospital, and then had a DVT scare... early lockdown was well timed for her as it was an excuse to have a couple of months quiet recuperation. She was on good form today though. We then ended up heading off to a garden centre for its cafe. It's been lovely seeing lots of older people out and about getting on with life.

She was glad about my visor as she was lip reading. She definitely struggled more with masked people. It's bad when I'm filling in the gaps that someone else misheard.

Let's just say that I'm not too worried about murdering this granny as I suspect that her immune system is more experienced with Covid than mine

She's lost two friends to cancer in the last couple of months. Quite a few of her septegenarian and octogenarian friends are of the opinion of making the most of living while they can rather than sitting around waiting for normality and their social lives are picking up.

And the whole of Nottinghamshire is now banned from mixing households indoors.

Really worried for many of my patients.

Can't see PILs or DPs (again).

Can't see friends.

Thanks all, especially @RealityExistsInTheHumanMind - I thought that was probably the case.

Oh bloody hell. We see friends in Nottinghamshire, but already fall foul of da Roolz of Shitz Six.

That'll be fun continuing to bare face at swimming. I already find it a very sensory environment anyway. I wouldn't even cope with the visor trapping in the heat and bouncing my voice back at me while I repeatedly bark orders at a 9yo to remind him how to dry and dress himself. Masks are a complete no-go in that environment, and I've had form for panic attacks at other pools. And typical, out of the 3 toilet cubicals, the one that is open is the one that I can't set foot in because it triggers my claustrophobia as it has all the ventilation ducts overhead.

Just reading the north will be locked down on Monday no pubs or restaurants. I think the difference between doing these things in March and now is that we just do not believe the positive tests are accurate, there are far fewer deaths and we do not believe those are covid deaths.

The goodwill, happy clapping, has gone. People will party in their homes with impunity, who can stop them all. People are upset and angry that so many jobs will be lost.

The problem is the consequences of the "cure" is worse than the disease for the majority of the population. I've been sceptical for 6 months.

My only glow of reassurence is that 6 months ago when these threads began, the ADs were the only ones with doubts, and those doubts are becoming more mainstream.

It's been announced that due to the fucking rool of six the DCs will not see their cousins over Christmas. It's not really a surprise as that wing of the family is very rule abiding. Not dementory, as they don't project at other people, but rule abiding nonetheless. We've seen them once since Christmas which is the only time DH has seen his own family this year.

We have 19 per 100,000 where i am.

And when you thought things could not get any nuttier, our covid testing centre staff in Llandudno are having to self isolate because one employee tested positive, they closed for a deep clean.

Nuttier still is this.

"I now know of 2 x groups of 2 people (could be many more of course) who turned around in there because the queue was taking a while.
They both received letters saying they had tested positive!!!!"

@HeIenaDove

We have 19 per 100,000 where i am.

If that is todays figure for you. We have 10 in 100,000 here and are locked down in the county.

That is nuts.

Are the public really going to accept another lockdown when they have been blamed no matter what they do by our gaslighting Government and those on MN Coronavirus board social media.

We have 7 per 100,000 where I am! No cases locally no deaths for months! Does anyone else feel that the more restrictions they put in the more you want to follow less? I feel more rebellious the more I am pushed!! 😂😂

Part of me thinks BoJo is thinking WTF can we do to get the twatty bastards to rebel. I want out but I need a way out FFS

Rishi would agree with that but wanksock et al NO NO

I wonder if the idea IS to kill the high street. Completely decimate it so they can sell it off as housing.

Do not fancy living in the old Laura Ashley or Marks though.

Apparently 1:3 shops in our city centre are vacant!
We had a large shopping centre built in 2007 opening just in time for the credit crunch. It shifted a lot of trade in one direction, but over time high rents have caused businesses to leave, chains have floundered and many peripheral sites have remained vacant for much of the past decade.

A few weeks ago, I was chatting to an independent shop keeper and he said that many people are avoiding the big centre either because it's a prolonged time indoors or because of the masks. I'm in no rush to set foot in there to check it out! Physical retail is fragile anyway without all the Covid restrictions making it less pleasurable.

Plus having a very quiet life either at home or outside, there's very little that I have need to buy at present. I've updated the growing DC's wardrobes from the usual supermarkets/ outdoors shops and my big uniform shop tends to be online for stock access anyway. I'm hardly going to go out for a nice dress in current circimstances.

Ultimately people not being content to go out and spend hurts all of society, from direct jobs, supply chains, to the tax revenues that fund the NHS/ education/ public services/ benefits system.

This is interesting.........................

HelenaDove that is a well-regarded study, the first and only one of its kind (i.e. comparing cloth to surgical to none), and was reported in the BMJ at the time. We are being gaslighted on a global scale.

I cant do screenshots Can anyone here do one before that article gets taken down?

@skeptile i was like..............WTF It was written in 2015, Five years ago.

It's an Australian study, from the University of NSW, with international cooperation.

newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/health/cloth-masks-%e2%80%93-dangerous-your-health

'The results of the first randomised clinical trial to study the efficacy of cloth masks were published today in the journal BMJ Open...Workers used the mask on every shift for four consecutive weeks. The study found respiratory infection was much higher among healthcare workers wearing cloth masks.'

It's all complete bollocks.

Anyone else notice how quickly the inability to trace the contacts of 16000 people because of the govts fuck up has disappeared from the news.....

bbc.in/2I7Vr6D
August "come on, its perfectly safe to go the pub, its great look! We'll even help you out by paying half and also help make it really busy"
October "well, you fucking blew it. So Im taking it away now"

How can anyone take them seriously anymore when they constantly contradict themselves, fuck up and then blame us for their mess???!!!!

Unbelievable.

Gaslighting fuckers.

@LivinLaVidaLoki I'm surprised the loss of 16000 contacts was in the news at all. Have the spin doctors caught Covid?
@RealityExistsInTheHumanMind I'm sure Saint Boris does want us to rebel, so he can keep his own halo clean. I won't be surprised if he eventually says "go on, break the rules, but don't blame me". Mind you, many of us think this is long overdue anyway, that we should be allowed to manage our own risk.

And yes, I'm seeing a glimmer of hope that doubts and scepticism are becoming mainstream: even on MN Covid Hysteria Central, the tide is turning. If we are forced into a miserable Christmas, I think the public revolt will be soon after that, although I am really surprised it didn't happen in March; fearful too, about how easily the public was brainwashed then. If the clowns are not careful, the public might never take a pandemic seriously again.

I don’t think they’ll revolt against the measures any more - they’ll turn against whichever group are being blamed at the time - people are so angry here about the idea the students are behind us heading into lockdown that I fear some form of revenge attacks starting to happen.

They’ve successfully turned us all against each other so nicely that they’re avoiding much scrutiny or blame at all

It’s really incredibly chilling.
