(I think we may all be living up to the angry wee fannies promise of the thread title!)

I'm another one who's stepped away in search of sanity.

Just wanted to say very heartened to see all the comments.

Not just me then!

ResilienceWanker · 03/08/2021 15:46

On the plus side - I think restaurants, theatres, cinemas, gigs etc can now go back to full capacity (as long as

The schooling situation is diabolical, I can't even get my head round masks in nightclubs. The whole thing is a farce. Embarrassing for Scotland.

I don’t want people in my home! I want to go out!!!

@latissimusdorsi

Am I right in saying teachers can now go to pubs, cinemas, nightclubs with no social distancing from a load of strangers but have to keep 1m distance from their colleagues in school?
I'm quite happy to stay 1m away from my colleagues. No need for any of that breathing down your neck stuff that some do. 2m was harder to achieve mind you.

I hear you! Grin It would mean having to tidy up...
WouldBeGood · 03/08/2021 15:50

She really does @Cismyfatarse

That’s just outrageous on the exams

WouldBeGood · 03/08/2021 15:50

I want to carouse with strangers!

latissimusdorsi · 03/08/2021 15:54

It's been great only having people in the garden
Doesn't matter what state the house is inGrin
As long as downstairs loo is clean

@ResilienceWanker You made me laugh with your reference to “adult entertainment”. All I can picture is a stripper buck naked apart from a face mask!

ElephantOfRisk · 03/08/2021 16:00

So I could have every customer from Sainsbury's squeezed into my livingroom with no distancing or masks but still have to wear one in the giant store? She is as thick as her sister.

SempreSuiGeneris · 03/08/2021 16:02

Resilience Test and Trace is staying so I don't think there will be any difference to pre booking.

I assume we still have to eat popcorn and rustle sweetie wrappers all the way through the performance to avoid a facemask?

Beepbeeprichie · 03/08/2021 16:03

I am so angry I’m going to have to step away and go to a happy place by watching some crappy reality tv or pre Covid drama. Midsummer Murders anyone?

What has compounded my anger is the way NS spoke to Douglas Ross. I’m no fan of him but he’s the leader of one of the opposition parties. She reacts like nobody can question her or they are foolish and just don’t understand her. Her face when questioned is just Angry. We are turning into a dictatorship. She’s the FM- she should welcome scrutiny and challenge.
Surely nobody buys this “och Nicola’s doing a great job of keeping us all safe” shit now are they?!

@WouldBeGood

Grin Now, now wouldbegood - carousing doesn't sound very careful, cautious and sensible, does it? Just because you CAN and all that Wink

Though as happypumpkin points out, you can do your carousing in whatever state of dress you want...as long as it includes a face covering Grin don't want to picture how that may be interpreted in some venues...

Yup. And all the staff too. And you could snog them, cuddle them, cough and spit on them all evening and that's absolutely fine.

But in their shop - where let's face it there's likely to be less of the snogging and cuddling - you have to wear your magic mask. Hmm

Lots of people are buying it. Mostly people with pre-school children/grandchildren, or people who don't have kids at school or don't know any teachers.

Plus lots of people dislike Boris, so doing the opposite to Boris is automatically a good thing. Hmm

I HATE HER. (Just in case you hadn't noticed)

Good point. But there may be more availability as they won't need to limit people in the swimming pool/ restaurant/ enormous outside grounds yes Historic Scotland, I AM looking at you And yes. Noisy, unnecessary and really annoying indoor eating is obviously going to be the way forward. Sigh.
ElephantOfRisk · 03/08/2021 16:09

So, mass orgy indoors or out is fine. Walking round a half empty supermarket is risky as feck. Mask on a train (looking at you thicko sturgeons sister) but can take it off at a restaurant table but still need to wear it for the 5 steps from the door or to go to the loo?

Makes no fucking sense once again.

WouldBeGood · 03/08/2021 16:12

I think it’s actually becoming more ludicrous and illogical @ElephantOfRisk. If that were possible!

Scottishskifun · 03/08/2021 16:12

Just realised that's indoor weddings to remain with masks strip the willow whilst wearing a mask anyone?!

Glad my friends one is "outside" (completely open large gazebo) so they don't have to!

WouldBeGood · 03/08/2021 16:12

I’m in for the orgies though 😂

ElephantOfRisk · 03/08/2021 16:12

I don't have kids at school or am particularly cosy with any teachers but i have half a brain so can work it out.

Nothing said about Unis I take it so they can do what they want to? Which in a lot of cases will be to keep blended or remote I suppose. Might be another year of paying rent when DS hasn't stepped foot in the Uni since march 2020.

WouldBeGood · 03/08/2021 16:13
