The other thread is filling up fast so setting up the foundation for our new evil lair. One where we follow real guidelines, not made up ones, make sock cocks ,ruin hair and bemoan the shortage of Spanish soldiers.

This is where we'll keep each other sane or descend into madness together... depends on the day.

Oh no...a poem! I knew it😂😂

Oh those carrier bags brilliant!

Yes Boris is now THE HERO of the world. Hope he gets well soon wouldnt wish that on him but seriously he has been kicked to bits on here recently and now its nauseating the people falling over themselves to be the most worried about him. Just f off.

I quite fancy a hot cross bun now...

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 07/04/2020 00:26

You put your children in
You put your shopping out
In out in out
In in out out
And sanitise it all about
You do the ranty -mardy And you turn around

What lockdown's all about!

An ode to the selfish:

They didn’t even care to clap
Or disinfect their fucking flap!
How dare they buy a hot cross bun?
Or take a minute for some fun
Stay inside all the time
And never mention drinking wine

Ok I’m clearly not capable of surviving this much longer 😂

Willow2017 · 07/04/2020 00:27

Oooh did one of MN 'police' find us on the other thread and give us a good 'SHOUT' ?

Not at work till end of the week and weekend Princess so much for the promised tons of overtime!

Willow2017 · 07/04/2020 00:28

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 07/04/2020 00:37

Oh no Willow I thought they were desperate for workers? Hopefully it will pick up soon.

Willow2017 · 07/04/2020 00:42

Hopefully. They took on loads including drivers, home delivery pickers etc but they have been working on the shop floor too! Think.they just need to get organised! Its all very much just muck in where needed at the moment.

Shitsgettingcrazy · 07/04/2020 00:55

Yaya! New thread!

Ds 9 just bloody woke me up. He fell out if bed and hit his head. Bloody child, I explained he is potentially wasting NHS resources and must not fallout of bed in future.

The rewriting of history of the hot cross buns was ridiculous. Especially when the poster couldnt argue anymore they posted 'let it go it was a week ago'......he how was it a week ago if it didnt happen.

Anyway, when I was rudely woken up my friend had want me this meme as. We are both night chris hemsworth/marvel plans.

I thought of you lot immediately.

Shitsgettingcrazy · 07/04/2020 00:59

I really need so sleep. Got another busy day of sitting in my spare room, arguing with twats, tomorrow! Living the quarantine dream!

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/04/2020 00:59

@isabellerossignol Just found the thread where I’m called a liar, I hadn’t been back there so hadn’t spotted that! Strange how events are reimagined when people realise they were fools. I do clearly remember saying multiple times I went out for dog food (my selfish dog demands the stuff and won’t eat dirt 😡)

Thanks for the people defending my honour on there though, I no appreciate it a lot. I’m not going to respond there as I probably shouldn’t of called out a batshit crazy poster in the first place for hypocrisy, they will never accept they could be in the wrong even a little bit

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/04/2020 01:07

Sorry lots of cross posting there as I had to take a few breaths after reading I was I liar!

Love your Hokey Cokey @PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock 😂

@Willow2017 hopefully some organisation will kick if, I think a lot of firms panic employed without the resources to dea with the admin behind it all

@Shitsgettingcrazy thanks for confirming I didn’t imagine the attacks!

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 07/04/2020 01:14

Yay shit is in the house !! (Another thing i never thought I'd say). Glad to have you here..puppy pics you know.

Oh that and found this and thought of you, sock puppets and arsehole bosses.

My covid experience = its all gone a bit Armando Iannucci. I'm one of the lucky ones. No financial hit and am merrily sticking my kids in front of sumdog of carting them off to their dads so i can get on with work. I know im lucky and not everyone is as lucky. But am being asked every 2mns how im coping with the hardship of wfh. Its fucking great, thank you v much. Am in my PJs all day and if i cant be arsed to brush my teeth, i won't. But they (excluding my real friends, of course) keep insisting i must be having a terrible time/ how it must be an awful hardship. Funnily enough, when i really was struggling 2 years ago after a 15 year marriage breakdown and my father died, i was an unhinged bitch who needed to get a grip. So its all a bit topsy turvy for me. Am not adhering to the rules on when i should be/ shpuldnt be finding life a struggle. Messy me.

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/04/2020 02:35

@P999 I think it’s now those people come out, the ones who didn’t notice others issues before, because it didn’t effect them. But now are all “are you ok hun” hoping you’ll ask back

Enjoy your pjs, feel free to rant with us all, no judgement here

Shitsgettingcrazy · 07/04/2020 02:48

Thepigeonsarecoming your dog is so cute!!!!

P999 so good to hear someone is enjoying WFH. I am hoping it gets better next week. My job is reporting. So I am still doing the same amount of reports as the company was all working last week.

Once this lot is out of the way. It should be easier. Hopefully.

Dp was made redundant. But earn well and we are fine. I feel guilty for being financially fine. I am ok with staying in.

It's the competitiveness of this that does my head in. Theres a thread now where some is just replying to anyone talking about people finding hard with 'well it would be worse if you were dead' and 'you will miss people more if they were dead' or 'so what if nurses are struggling to cope and having panic attacks wearing PPE, if they dont have it, they would be dead'.

It's like all empathy for people in different situations or people struggling has gone and the louder you shout 'it would be worse if you were dead', the more moral fibre you have.

Shitsgettingcrazy · 07/04/2020 02:52

Think I am just going to start work. Dp and ds are asleep.

The dogs are in their crates, asleep. With the doors open but neither is interested in giving me a supporting 3am cuddle. Ungrateful bastards!

Probably, going to go see why a report I eas looking at wont balance.

But it could be worse.....I could be dead. So must remember, I cant express anything but sheer happiness at the situation Grin

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/04/2020 04:59

Thank you @Shitsgettingcrazy, he’s a monster though! Hope you managed a bit of sleep

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/04/2020 05:14

I hope none of you has dared to speak to a neighbour from your driveway

Even if something isn't expressly prohibited, the spirit of the law is that you shouldn't go outside unless essential and you shouldn't socialise with people outside your household. It's a lockdown

Stop being social and keep with the “spirit” of the law!!!

Shitsgettingcrazy · 07/04/2020 05:14

Hi...nope managed 2 hours of work. then my laptop decided I was no longer having access to the shared drive. So that's it until 8am.

How can he be a monster?....he is so cute!.
Jokes of course. Both mine are monsters and cute and lovely and pitas Grin

Shitsgettingcrazy · 07/04/2020 05:17

the spirit of the law is that you shouldn't go outside unless essential and you shouldn't socialise with people outside your household

Jesus! So, you cant go in your garden?

When did the government say that. Pretty sure they have been if the mind set, that people should use their gardens.

Not sure if the insane posters are growing in number. Or it's the same few thay keep name changing.

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/04/2020 05:21

I think back gardens are ok as long as you don’t approach the fence. Front gardens and driveways are clearly Coronavirus hotspots

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/04/2020 05:23

You can dance/sing/wank/clap on your doorstep. But don’t dare speak to your neighbours whilst doing so is the advice I think? It’s all so hard to keep up with 😂
