Smelly drains,STD soldier but no Clap

Just in case we have more crimes,murders and general mischief to confess to.

Please leave your shoes at the door, have a Dettol wash and then stand awkwardly while not consuming any perishables.

Ironic smiles and head tilts are ALOUD but absolutely no laughter,fun or enjoying yourselves.

Disinfectant and disposable whips will be provided.

I prefer the tin foil hatters to the hysterics tbh.

If anything this pandemic just shows repeated patterns of behaviour that seem bonkers,evil or incomprehensible in normal times.

History doesn't repeat itself. People do. Same reactions over and over again. It's interesting on an intellectual level,but fucking depressing on a human one.

Yes, human behaviour repeats itself. So the next pandemic terrifies me.

I never ever want to see this hysteria again.

My gold toilet brush from Debenhams arrived today, woo hoo!

Well obviously we need photos. Its gold for goodness sake! Who knew such a thing existed? We mere mortals need something to aspire to. 😄😄😄

Oh wow, that’s actually really nice!

Also you must leave it 72 hours between uses.....cause......unknown bizarre reasons!

Well I was out in my car on Tuesday and I’m going out again today, so, we who are about to die, salute you.

It’s either go out and do my shopping or murder my neighbour who is doing something with a truck which means it’s been going beep beep beep every five seconds for three days now.

If civilisation survives this pandemic, I think we should take a much closer look at science education. And education in critical thinking.

DancelikeEmmaGoldman may the odds be ever in your favour!

Your neighbour sounds like a pandemic-dick.

We do need to think about what we teach people about looking at actual facts.

Someone linked an article saying that home made cloth masks were 100% effective is stopping Corona. There was a 5 years study done, apparantly.

When I asked questions like, how many people in the study, what circumstances etc and suggested theres not a chance they can be 100% effective and claims like that should be approached with caution. I was told the science isnt wrong.

Turned out the 5 year study looked at about 3 people and was carried out by a man who is trying to make his fortune by selling race coverings.

Again, apparantly the Times ran an article saying 90% of people wanted rock down made stricter. When OP was challenged on how many people were asked, what was the question asked, what was the demographic of people asked. Were they a cross section of ages, different economic back grounds etc, I was told I was just looking for reason to not to believe it.

People dont think to look at what's behind the 'facts' or science. They see something written down on websites or social media and take it a face value and assume its 100% the truth, without looking where it comes from.

Are toilet brushes allowed? Not just in the current situation but at all?

I only ask because I see on MN threads that we arent supposed to have them. Is this a safe space to ask how we are supposed to clean a toilet without a toilet brush?

And... there is a thread about someone who had a plasterer in to plaster her bathroom. Many posts telling OP she was a moron, asking her if she was on glue, telling her she was a dumbass. Many assertions that only essential work should be done.

Oh, and someone assumed the plasterer was working cash in hand and claiming state support.

It was a kind of MN CV19 bingo.

Now I am no scientist but I dont think this virus can pass through walls. I would hazzard that the OP didnt stand in the bathroom with the plasterer as he worked. To my untutored brain the risk was fairly low.

Do I go in and gently lead the OP over here?

I would have thought having a decent working bathroom, that you can clean is a priority.

I am sure she didnt have it plastered when it didnt need it.

Yes bring her here!

morning all
re toilet brushes I do believe they were banned by Mn quite some time ago.....cause, you know....reasons....... but Im thinking maybe a gold one would be different?

I'm off to work in a bit. We're getting fitted for our FFp3 masks at work this week, although I'm thinking of telling the trust not to bother and that we can all just sew some at home, cause you know MN says they are 100% effective

We are having our clinical team meeting via Microsoft teams this afternoon - Im stressing already cause Im shit with technology (I'm a clinician!) Would much prefer to be sat round a table with coffee and biscuits!

Feeling quite positive this morning depsite returning to work. Im sure this will evaporate as soon as I log onto my emails!

WIll avoid all the batshit threads on here until after work, then might read a few later for giggles!

But oh god have just remembered it's bloody clap night tonight. Will need to time some loud music via headphones at 8 I think....

Have a good day fellow rebels

Under His Eye

Good morning, plague spreaders! I am a also avoiding most threads except this one.
@LilacTree1, I prefer the tin foil hats too as at least they're interesting and remind me of The X-Files. Anyone remember that?

We may, in our family, have murdered thousands. I used our breadmaker to make croissant dough and DH used it to make pizza outside in our new green egg.

Also, I have corrupted the DCs minds by playing Dungeons and Dragons with them. Otoh, they weren't on screens.

Lastly, does anyone else worry about how they are doing at teaching their children? My friend sent me a meme that said if they're not on fire, you are fine but I still worry.

Oooh the X Files, one of my all time favourites. Fox Mulder, mmmmmm!

Apparently helicopters are watching us...

Morning all.
Ooh where are all the helicopters then?
What exactly are they watching us for?
That loo brush looks really nice. Of course its not allowed to be used at all but its ok as a nice ormament😄

The helicopters are everywhere apparently, more than ever before.

Can I confess to having a loo brush as well?!

Fox Mulder is exactly who I was thinking of. What would his take on all this be?
Aliens, somehow. And that's why the conspiracy threads are fun. I just picture everything being said by Mulder.

Yes, I saw the helicopter thread. Does it not occur to people that:

A. Fewer cars on the road so they can hear the helicopters more

B. Fewer helicopters involved in chasing ne'er-do-wells through the streets (ne'er-do-wells are now staying at home causing trouble there)

I'm from N Ireland and the sound of helicopters hovering just takes me back to my childhood where they were pretty much a 24 hours a day background hum. I was on holidays in England as a child and we were in a shop and someone said 'look, there's a helicopter outside!' and all the people in the shop went out to look and I remember asking my parents what sort of weird place this was where there weren't helicopters in the sky every day.

@ISaySteadyOn this is all very interesting but what is a green egg and how does it make pizza?
Totally prepared to risk the lives of an entire supply chain if it turns out I need one...

I'm surprised no one has started a thread suggesting alien activity!

@MutteringDarkly go to biggreenegg.co.uk

It's essentially an outdoor portable oven. Unlike a bbq, it doesn't seem to produce much odour.
