OMG I just saw someone walking their great big dog not on a lead not wearing a mask ...

[Tenyearsgone]

What's more they were lighting fireworks and buying non essential items from the offie!

I'm shaking and crying and calling 1O!

You need to bleach the dog before leaving the house. Isn't it obvious?

I'm livid that the dog is badly bred. It's not a poo breed is it. Bloody middle class wannabe

The dog shouldn't even have been out. She should be training the nasty covid spreader to use a litter tray and exercise by running circuits around the coffee table while watching Joe Wicks. If it needs fresh air, open a window. Why can't people use their common sense. It's not rocket science.

Hey OP Did you get a good look at him? Was it Dom?? Little shit has nowt better to do now

@Tenyearsgone

I wear several masks at the same time before I even leave the house. I haven't bought a pint of milk for 6 months!

@IHaveBrilloHair

I've just remembered the mad woman who put cheese in her tea and now I actually am chuckling.

Decades from now, when lockdowns have long been forgotten, resurfacing only as sporadic memories of a bizarre fever dream that briefly diverted the normal course of our lives, the conversation on a random thread will occasionally turn to that weird time in 2020 when we were banned from leaving our homes for non-essential reasons. And someone will reply "Yes, and remember that poster who said milk wasn't essential because you could put cheese in your coffee if you ran out?" And we will laugh, reading the thread in our families' living rooms, and on benches in crowded city centres, and during the interval at West End shows, and while running late to meet our friends at fancy restaurants, and on those rare days when we have no particular plans and can enjoy the quiet luxury of being at home, doing nothing. And so the legend of the Mumsnet Cheese Woman will be kept alive, until one day people who aren't even born yet will hear of it for the first time and think "Wow, people were crazy in 2020".

As a technical point: calling ‘911’ in the UK still directs to ‘999’ as with a few others to make sure ‘them there foreigners’ can get assistance too.
Learning something every day - my first fact for 2021. Sadly I missed the "celebrations" as I was in a carb-induced coma from far too much mac'n'cheese. Can't think why I bought it (greed) or why I ate it (greed) as it's far from my favourite food.

Thanks for this thread OP - good to start a trepidatious new year with a belly laugh. 🥳

I missed the cheesy tea lady. Was she talking about a mild cheddar or a bit of Philly?

I don't think she specified.
Needless to say I don't think anyone tried it.

Cancel the cheque!

Do dogs need to wear masks?

I hope you’re feeling better today, OP. Thoughts and prayers, hun.

Did you roar or scream at him (also known as a slightly raised voice)?!

At the very start of the first lockdown, when we were all in the height of panic, a huge argument broke out over how often we should be going food shopping. Posters' ability to store milk was a major point of contention, and someone suggested that anyone who ran out should substitute cheese instead of buying more. I don't remember whether grating cheese in coffee was a serious suggestion from the person who originally mentioned it or a snarky one from someone pointing out why that wouldn't work, but either way it became a running joke, and on threads about lockdown someone often brings up "that poster who said we should put cheese in coffee".

Sorry to derail but I've just read the T-Rex thread and now wondering what a Spiderman, mole and rabbit look like!!

You did remember to wear an extra mask to use the phone though!?

You only wear several masks OP?

I wear a hazmat suit, I was feeding my children clippings from the skirting board but when one of them passed out I ran into Asda, grabbed a loaf of bread, ran to the tills sobbing and shaking and then went home and self flagellates for doing such a selfish twat.

Did you take a good look at ‘him’? Bet it was Meghan in disguise, the prince stealing cow. Just the thought of it has already ruined 2021 for me and now I’m sat here sobbing and shaking.

Glummy that was selfish, its a pandemic dont you know! What you should have done with the clippings was boil them in water first - it makes great clipping soup and also totally sanitises at the same time. its a win win situation, Im pretty sure I read in the daily mail that you cannot get covid from completely boiled food. You can of course add cheese for flavour if you have any. So to risk going to the supermarket was clearly unacceptable. Also I literally cannot believe you all dont grow your own vegetables and make your own cheese. You know milk literally comes out of cows right? So did you all not order a cow on amazon at the first mention of a pandemic? I did. Also bread! you went for bread! You can literally make your own bread! Waitrose do fab bread makeing machines so you dont even have to do anything. Easy peasy.

Please log it.

Thank God you filmed it now you can send it to your MP and Head of the UN.
Discustin!!!

I’m sure that was the same massive dog that viciously mauled my 3 year old baby. —Barked every so mildly and I jumped—

Have you logged it with 911

Did you roar or scream at him (also known as a slightly raised voice)?!

You should have barked at him. That’s the base standard for showing your disapproval.

@GlummyMcGlummerson You BOUGHT bread?! I ground my own flour from the dust I found under the carpets so I didn’t have to put others at risk. How COULD you?
