ADs head off to The Three Bellends and discuss luxury duvets and stationery

[BogRollBOGOF]

(Socially distanced of course and in strictest obedience of all localised lockdowns and 3 or 5 tiers and whatever illogic the powers that be can dream up next)

The original digital discussion continues...

Went on very unessential shopping trip to the big city centre today. Was lovely, but of quality time with DD. Waited longer to buy coffee from Pret than my DD spent in Primark!! And she bought clothes. I was still in queue outside waiting to get in. Ridiculous, but I bought her a female gingerbread person, so all good.

Been to a big local park with a large house perched on top of a hill. It's owned by the council, & apart from the masks inside, & the socially distanced queues, it was non-dementory & normal.

I'm in two minds though. It was very busy, & I'm not complaining about people making the most of going out. I was never one to dive into the bushes if someone wanted to walk past. But today there was much milling around & groups of people not keeping their distance from others. I felt a bit uneasy for the first time in ages, & I'm not sure why. Maybe it's what happens when you rarely see big groups anymore, & then you're confronted with dozens of people? Perhaps my perception has altered.

Otherwise, it's nice to be out. Bracing myself for the dark. The light here has already gone a bit spooky.

In response to the large hooded blanket which indicates I've given up on life... it's warm. I'm very plus size (more so than when this shit started) and it's still got a fair bit of snuggle room in for me and comes down to mid thigh. Just an Amazon cheapie - I was not paying Oodie prices.

Dreading tomorrow if we get tier 3ed.

Been out the neighbour really upset me. Not been out since Wednesday. Did a Lidl shop, saw a water melon, grandson loves those so bought one. Took it round to him. His dad is in such a grump and I thought you miserable sod of my loins, you get to go out to work so can drive anywhere whilst your wife and kids are completely stuck.

Which one was it, if you don’t mind me asking. I’d like to get one, my daughter has one which she loves and lives in when she’s not at work but I’m a lot bigger than her and was worried there won’t be enough snuggle room.

I can't remember - it was just one of the basic ones on Amazon.

Does anyone remember how early in the days of track and trace some of us on the AD threads were wondering if it would be used maliciously? Well my daughter has become a victim! A lad who was in her shared house on Monday tested positive and has given daughters details to T and T. BUT she wasn’t in the same room as him for more than 5 minutes as she had to work and the room they shared is a massive kitchen and they were at opposite ends! Now she has to isolate for 14 days and it will screw up her internship, her work, her training and her elite sport participation 😡😡😡😡Bloody stupid system 😡😡😡

FFS Here comes tier 4 Because the Three Bellends dont want to say lockdown

inews.co.uk/news/politics/coronavirus-latest-plans-tier-4-restrictions-second-wave-736607

I think us in Scotland will have 5 tiers on nov2nd. But not sure.

Have given up the will to understand it anymore and just ignoring them all

Was in Asda today getting stuff and it seems like everyone else has given up as well no distancing just getting on with shopping

I think we are weary with it I feel weary with it

Loads of people out on walks as well and stopping to chat to each other

So sorry blobby. That really sucks for your daughter so mean to do that to her

From the article
"A local circuit breaker would be similar to the isolated near-shutdown of all sectors in Leicester, one of the first places to go into local lockdown over the summer. This had some effect on bringing the outbreak under control, but cases began to rise again once restrictions were eased."

Bangs. Head. On. Table

[quote WouldBeGood]@justasking111 it would be tier 4 in the Scottish plan, I think. Nuclear[/quote]
Thank you, will look that up.

Apparently Wales is in tier 4, now what can they do to you in tier 5 that they have not already done, we only have essential shopping, can only exercise to and from home. Is tier 5 no exercise at all?

Oh, @justasking111 @littlbrowndog might be right.

It’s super confusing in Scotland as she’s numbered them 0-4 🙄

Just seen this, British Transport Police questioning people on trains and apparently there are police road blocks too. I can’t believe what this country has been reduced to.

@Livingthevidaloki
"Bangs. Head. On. Table"
I was going to say the same, with a brick wall instead of a table.

@justasking111
"is tier 5 no exercise at all?"
Tier 5 is when they send out that classic 1980s nuclear attack leaflet "Protect & Survive" & we all have to cross our fingers for a random number of days, chosen by the National Lottery ball machine, Guinevere. (I think the latest covid cases numbers should be announced by Voice of the Balls & Strictly, Alan Dedicoat. It would cheer things up a bit).

It would certainly sound more authoritative if Dedicoat announced restrictions rather than um ahh bluster bluster blowjob and mealy mouthed wanksock

Oh @Blobby10 thats shit.

"And now, going into Tier 3, dancing the fandango, it's Nottingham and its partner, Anton Du Beke!"

Or Ant & Dec could do the announcements.
"Coming out of restrictions this week....Leicester..............it's not you!"

They could. Do the announcements on strictly or the jungle.

Imagine the drum rolls.

Or could we vote as a nation 😂😂😂

Blobby he probably doesn’t think it was malicious. Did you see the thread about the woman whose details were passed on after a 15 minute stroll outdoors?

It’s literally made me stop having chats with neighbours - though I’ve explained to them why.

We've been up our local bar lunchtime. We saw friends. Everyone observed the rules when they needed to step away from their tables, and it felt so normal. People singing along to the jukebox. I had a tear. It was lovely.

"Or could we vote as a nation"
It could go either way with a public vote, though, with the risk it gets much worse! Some people might get confused and vote for Pudsey the performing dog, or for the chance to see their favourite Vicar of Dibley clip shown on TV instead, & quite frankly, I think we've suffered enough!

I've felt like that at times, was in a nearby town centre yesterday which was busy (I'd say busier than I've seen even pre covid). It was great to see from an economic view point but did feel a little uneasy from keeping a distance. We've got a 2 week half term and did most of our "trips" last week when I knew it would be quieter as suspect anything bookable will be manic this week

@TheOrchidKiller remember this poster! 😱 Hopefully Tier 5 won’t be implemented
