Total lockdown tonight to save us from ourselves watching football..?

As @dancemom mentioned on the tiers thread, will likely be a football lecture Hmm

SoMuchForSummerLove · 18/06/2021 11:07

That wouldn't help @WouldBeGood as we'd all be stuck indoors with nothing else to do! Grin

itsjustlowhangingfruit · 18/06/2021 11:08

is that the usual covid briefing she does or is it an unexpected one?

WouldBeGood · 18/06/2021 11:09

Sorry.. watching football with anyone else. Or, gasp, going to the pub 😱

OP posts:
SoMuchForSummerLove · 18/06/2021 11:10

Think it's just one of the standard ones.

ResilienceWanker · 18/06/2021 11:15

Yes, I think (hope) it's just her usual one. She seems to do the podium ones on Friday now. If it was any big announcement surely she'd at least try to do it to Parliament, or have a big evening slot (just before the football to really boost everyone's mood? Wink)

We are sort of going to the pub but we are in England, they are shutting at 9 so I think we might return to the lodge for kick off, don't want to embarrass the locals with our loud celebrations when we are 4 nil up at half time :)

We are not really a football supporting family but exceptions must be made.

Regardless of the final score, I hope its an entertaining game.

@RedactedTaeFeck 😂 enjoy!

She’s insane, now purporting to ban travel to Manchester. This kind of stupid “law” doesn’t help with respect for the government

titsintiers---- "I really hope Scotland wins tonight but if they don't I'll get over it quickly"
Now there's a mature, approach to the Football If only all the football fans were adults like you.

If anyone hasn't seen the SSO doing yes sir I can boogie, this has been the highlight of this afternoon:

How can she possibly police a ban on people travelling to Manchester?

Is she really trying to stop Scots flying to Europe via Manchester Airport? 🤔

WouldBeGood · 18/06/2021 14:51

Ah! @Lockdownbear bet you’ve got that right!

SoMuchForSummerLove · 18/06/2021 14:52

I fucking hate that song. It's EVERYWHERE just now!

frasersmummy · 18/06/2021 15:04

omg I cannot believe she has said we are not allowed to travel to Manchester...

The original coronavirus act was brought in to give the govt emergency powers to solve an immediate crisis not to allow them to curb our freedoms for 2 years

I am booked to go to London in 10 days time I am now slightly worried that Nicola will kaibosh that as well

HappyPumpkin81 · 18/06/2021 15:05

I swear the Scottish Government's Covid strategy is to see where I have booked flights to and then ban them. I've never been to Manchester in my life, but will be (hopefully if it isn't bloody cancelled) flying to the airport in 2 weeks so my sister can pick me up and take me to Yorkshire. I have no intention of visiting the city, but I'm bloody sick of rearranging travel having had Christmas and April flights to see family cancelled.

WouldBeGood · 18/06/2021 15:07

The plus side of our inevitable early exit will be that there will be less of the song @SoMuchForSummerLove….

Totally unenforceable laws. Stupid.

OP posts:
riverrunning · 18/06/2021 15:16

It's ridiculously quiet at work today, fewest emails I've ever had, it's almost as if there's a football game on!

Now that makes me feel like boogie-ing.

There is something really nice about seeing photos of people having a good time, just hope the hangovers aren't too savage!

latissimusdorsi · 18/06/2021 15:59

Ban on travel to Manchester????
Did anyone hear the briefing, What reason was given?

latissimusdorsi · 18/06/2021 16:00

Not that I'm planning travelling to Manchester, just that it seems odd! Especially when Scotland has higher cases numbers than most other areas

WouldBeGood · 18/06/2021 16:06

@latissimusdorsi rates. Although they’re much the same as Dundee, for example 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks @WouldBeGood
I would have thought it more likely be other way round with other areas of uk being banned from travelling to Scotland with our rates recently 🤷🏼‍♀️
