You'll have had yours tiers....

Thread 946....

If I have Cullen Skink for lunch will that make me Good and let me out of tier 4?

@Rae36 similar debates in our house, think always better to be cautious esp with the Christmas potential - hope it's negative. We are over half way through our 14 day isolation!

Please let his test be negative, a neighbour of ours is the school business manager and I think if I had to phone tomorrow and tell her she had another case to deal with she would actually cry and I would feel so bad.

See, I don’t think I’d bother as you have to isolate anyway, don’t you? Or am I confused?

Good luck anyway @Rae36

And DSS used to get that with Fanta- he was normally really quiet but would act like on speed and talk nineteen to the dozen

It's more that if the test in a family is positive, whole family isolates and doesn't spread. If one family member is just a close contact only they have to isolate.

I can feel the waves of stress off the email comms from our school, they'll be glad to get to Christmas break!

In ordinary times, mine would never have been kept home either!

We will have to isolate until his test result comes back. Which is usually fairly quick around here, the next day or so.

I don't feel like I can send him to school if he has a cough so without a negative test result he's going to have to miss a few days anyway until he gets better.

We've done well to get to December without having to test anyone so I'm philosophical about it really.

I don’t know if us slightly grubby tier3s can go anywhere as we have to go through the fairly clean tier2 places

@Rae36 ah, ok I am wrong. Mixed up.

Even more good luck then!

@Rae36 I was the same with irn bru as a child. Made me so hyper my parents banned me from drinking it. My Dad owned a Spar shop at the time in Fort William and was often extremely busy and would say I could have a fizzy drink as a treat at the weekend. I would pick the irn bru off the shelf as he wasn't watching but was always busted because I would basically be bouncing off the walls

It's a miracle my girls didst come out orange. I had hyperemesis both times and the only liquid that stayed down was diet irn bru

I had a baguette, I think I need to move to france...

DS1 went hyper with blackcurrant squash and Orange/citrus would make DS2 wet the bed.

That's why they are now milk junkies I think.

@WaxOnFeckOff that’s acceptable because of the auld alliance.

Not as if it was a filthy English bap

I've lived in Scotland since 1998 and have never tried Irn Bru. 😱

Is something wrong with me?

It's the colour that puts me off....

Very true, i had yorkshire ham, gouda cheese and tomatoes from Kent though so who knows!?

It's the colour that puts me off.... i guess if you drank it from a can you wouldn't see?

I think it's like bubblegum but not like a brand new bit, a bit you've been chewing for about, hmm, 12 minutes I'd say.

Nippy must be absolutely RAGING that Coventry got in first by vaccinating that lady at 6.30am this morning.

Good point, @RaspberryCoulis.

Where are the heartwarming pictures of Oor Wullie getting jagged?

@WaxOnFeckOff well, you only have yourself to blame if you stay up

Oh there has just been a retweet from Clyde one of our first vaccination subject!

More Leith talk.. there used to be (and I'm talking AGES ago, like the 80s before Leith was all posh and stuff) a really good pizza place right by a bridge, they let kids make their own pizzas and it was brilliant. We loved going there. Single word name I think...

Or am I misremembering??

I thought that too! I wonder how they picked her. Surprised some poor old soul in a Scottish care home wasn't wakened up at 12.05 this morning to be injected.

And the second one being William Shakespeare is just genius.

I'm getting mental pictures of Queen Covid ordering staff to call round care homes to try to find a William Wallace, Robert Burns or Walter Scott.

Brilliant!

can imagine the response being "well no, we have a Margaret Ferrier if that's any use...?"
