[NB - Lighthearted . . .]

Is it just me, or did anyone else find this visual on the BBC website a bit weird?

I like to think that this image is actually part of a triptych.

The first image is in monochrome. It depicts be-masked people trudging round a supermarket, not interacting.

The second image is the one you see. A limited palette of colours has now been introduced. There is a glimmer of hope.

The final image is of a crowd of people hugging, all in glorious technicolour...

That's the dream anyway!

I noticed how some of the women seem to be wearing leggings and others cropped trousers. No overweight men with shorts either!

Love it, you got to have a sense of humour.

I'm wondering what they are doing between mid Feb and End Feb. Are they having a break for half term?Grin

CriticalCondition · 10/01/2021 09:39

The wardrobe restrictions should be the least of our worries. I can manage a nasty yellow t-shirt and blue leggings. But no fingers...

But if blue and yellow is a deep life long least favourite colour combo do you think I’d come into some exception. Could we form colour bubbles ??

They are on a course to cover the module "drawing overweight people, wheelchairs, zimmers and skirts" Grin

OMG you’re right! The whole exercise will be futile as they won’t be able to hold a pen to sign any consent forms! Shock

Hmm, only one lady who is wearing a hijab in the late Feb crowd is wearing her mask properly! Those ladies wearing hijabs later in the queue have the earloops on the outside...suspicious to me...appears they've been flaunting the rules and have hastily adorned their masks when they got in the queue ....check it out..they are wearing the earloops on top of their hijab...you just know any moment those masks are going to pop right off...
.I can hardly get the earloops to stay on my uncovered ears

@OnlyTeaForMe
Not only has a French man been let in the queue, but I've finally worked out the reason for all the orange attire.. Some Dutch people have been let in, too! That can be the only explanation for all that orange, orange, and more orange...unless Lucy and Dominic are actually from the Netherlands Shock
#ShutTheBorders... indeed!

Maybe they could bring out a "Where's Wally?" style book - next in the series after "Where's Dominic?" spotted in ASDA in early December.

I know for a fact that the man at the head of the 55-59 queue is having a fling with the married ponytailed hussy who's fourth in the same queue, she's game for anything. That's her husband standing behind her, poor man doesn't have a clue.

Jouuuuuuuuule · 10/01/2021 18:16

That's very funny OP!

It'll come to nothing - he's a notorious womaniser - only out for what he can get. I know his type.

Here's the original graphic( I suppose)of the queueing for the jab...oh my.. Poor Dominic and Lucy...this one must have been rejected on so many levels...why on Earth did they decide that people needed to go down several flights of stairs to get the jab?...how are all the one's with bad knees supposed to get there?

Surely - that is the inner chamber of Tutenkhamun's pyramid?

Is that where this really originated? As a Curse from The Valley of The Kings?

DAMN YOU, HOWARD CARTER!!!!! Angry

@SchadenfreudePersonified brilliant!

TopBants · 10/01/2021 21:08

I think some people have snuck into the queue twice too

That's the only way to get both doses for full immunity.

At least the inaccessibility of that location explains the lack of wheelchairs. I'm gonna put in a complaint to the EHRC - using an appropriate building would have been a very reasonable reasonable adjustment

Have we all decided to ignore the raging wildfires clearly raging just out of sight, causing the air to be that colour ?
