@TheMustressMhor I saw someone had written "ov" instead of "of" and had to leave immediately.

Redglitter · 04/04/2020 21:04

Ffs kids are having it a damn sight easier than most of us. Who comes up with this crap.

PicsInRed · 04/04/2020 21:05

Shine a light...holy shit 😂😂🤔

Lex234 · 04/04/2020 21:06

Boogie for bus drivers.
Twerk for teachers
Wave for warehouse workers

Pickling for Posties? (Actually that might be quite nice, can't beat a good gherkin)

@JorisBonson

I noted the bizarre numbers of people who told a new widow what a wonderful man her late husband had been.

Not that any of them knew him, of course...….

Shitsgettingcrazy · 04/04/2020 21:06

In a couple of weeks there will people expecting every body on the doorsteps everyday of the week. Sometimes twice a day.

I dont like a full social calendar. Certainly dont want one now.

How weird its 'stay inside to save the NHS, except can you all stand on your doorsteps every night. No you cant buy an Easter egg as part of your food shop. But must stand on the doorstep to clap the new made up reason'.

ChickLitLover · 04/04/2020 21:07

Yes, the ‘little heroes’ don’t understand as you say. Let’s not add to their confusion by mum and dad popping out the front door every few hours to clap for something else to put on Facebook.

I do feel really sorry for kids, they’re bored, they can’t go to nursery, school, soft play, the park etc and their lives have changed liked everyone else’s. But clapping for them and calling them little heroes is ridiculous. People are thinking ‘oh no, no ones clapping for me as I’m not a part of the NHS...I must be clapped, I must have my share’.... and then coming up with this shite. Jesus! Just no.

MARMITEcheese2020 · 04/04/2020 21:08

I just can't ffs how ridiculous. My pre schooler doesn't under stand why she's not going out each day. Always asks, always asks for particular friends and family. I'm not going to give her a bloody round of applause for coping. She has to, it's harder for some adults.

And lots of those posters are now using his death to beat other posters for doing things like buying socks when they do their food shop, because their kids have only a couple of pairs without holes in.

TheMustressMhor · 04/04/2020 21:09

I'm a retired community midwife.

Can I reserve Wednesday lunch-times for people to clap on their doorsteps in honour of the sacrifice I am making for the NHS?

Oh wait.

JorisBonson · 04/04/2020 21:09

@TheMustressMhor rip he is wiv da angles now

Notredamn · 04/04/2020 21:09

I thought the NHS clapathon was a one-off. Granted, I didn't clap myself (or bang anything, or set fire to anything), but the impact of it is now diminished.
NHS workers who did appreciate it will now feel like victims of a stupid craze rather than celebrated now. Clapping at the drop of a hat next.

TooOldForSims · 04/04/2020 21:10

I'm looking forward to Clap for Cats. I just hope it's on Fridays.

DrWAnker · 04/04/2020 21:10

For @Yellowshirt and @gordongopherthe3rd

Reach(for the gin)

When lockdown, leaves you feeling blue
You can count on booze, it will be there for you
When it seems, all home-schooling dreams
Are a million miles away, gin will re-assure you

We've got to all stay apart
Good friends, social distance
Never ever forget that
I've got wine and you've got beer, so

Reach for the gin
Fill every wineglass higher
Reach for the rum
Follow your thirst's desire
Reach for the Pimm's
And when the cocktail's warmth comes over you
That's when your dreams will all come true

TheMustressMhor · 04/04/2020 21:10

@JorisBonson.

Someone's grandad "grew his angel wings" this morning.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dontsweatthelittlestuff · 04/04/2020 21:11

I want a national clap for the police officer who used his hat to gather water to put out some twatwaffles bbq on hove beach today.

I will even dance in the street.

ChickLitLover · 04/04/2020 21:11

WriteAndErase

S Club 7 🤣 Are things not bad enough?

Nicolastuffedone · 04/04/2020 21:11

No. The kids in our family know what’s happening and why they can’t go out....they’re having a ball! I won’t be clapping, dancing, shining lights...leave me alone!

TooOldForSims · 04/04/2020 21:12

Just be thankful it's not S Club Juniors.

TheMustressMhor · 04/04/2020 21:12

Gin has reliably reassured me throughout my misspent life.

MashedSpud · 04/04/2020 21:12

I’m up for clapping for cats.

gordongopherthe3rd · 04/04/2020 21:12

That FB is awful, somebody (thank goodness) got over CV19 despite serious health issues and people are telling them 'well done' and that he 'did a good job'

People don't get a choice to overcome illness or not. Sepsis, cancer, the lot don't respond to people doing a good job - except the medical staff of course who work their socks off for people.

DrWAnker · 04/04/2020 21:13

@TheMustressMhor me too.

TooOldForSims · 04/04/2020 21:13

Don't forget about hamsters, guinea pigs and goldfish...

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 04/04/2020 21:15
