Don't fuck that particular one though, she's doing a funny.
Yeh I'm still half asleep, it totally went over my head. You must have quoted me just as I was editing my post lol.
Maybe it's just where I'm not awake properly yet, but this reads like a fucking advertisement for Boris Johnson https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53532709
Even in saying he's made mistakes they're trying to spin it in his favour. God I hate the BBC.

Why did I read the comments? Fuck meeeeeeee.......
"Seat belts should only be mandatory for children".
These fucking people.
She wants a job in No 10 so bad, it's obvious. I wouldn't fault the entire BBC. Newsnight presenters are still really good.
I was about to say the same, I've stopped watching anything BBC News apart from PMQs and Newsnight. Newsnight is still tops but man I wish it invited less both-sided interviews.

Free weights room was as busy as normal times but other floors very quiet.
🤮 Yeah, that must be it. He's just too much of an optimist to do remorse. Too much of a good-time guy to handle a crisis. Fuck me...
That article is a complete disgrace. I wouldn't be surprised if Boris' people sent it to her to put her name on for "impartiality" because the only purpose it seems to serve is laundering his reputation.
EDIT: It's so damned weird since she actually makes an attempt to get solid answers from him in her interview, why gloss over that?? It's really hard to believe that the person asking questions in the interview is the same person writing this shite.
Really torn on whether or not to have my partner stay for a few days for my birthday next week. I live in a shared house and most of my housemates have given up on not having contact with relatives/sleeping over at people's etc, but I don't wanna be hypocritical as I've judged the shit out of everyone who has flouted the rules because they think one little exception won't hurt. Gahhh.
My housemates probably wouldn't mind (my partner used to live with us too), but I really should be consistent in my attitude to this. Doesn't feel right judging others who have stopped giving a shit if I do the same.

Honestly I wish the free weights section in my gym was bigger. It's like 25% of the space and is definitely the most popular. Loads of space taken up by useless cardio stuff.
Same with my local, everyone masked and asking the staff everyone they were serving has.
I live on a coast north east town and the pleasure park is open tho undoing all that good work
Yeah I was disappointed going into free weights as I couldn't get a bench. I thought it would be empty at 10am
Regarding covid had to do temperature check on entry as well as sanatise hands. lockers are split by 1 in between.
Nah, today will be super busy everywhere I think. If I go at all this week it's going to be late at night (mine are keeping 24 hour opening times).
Can add to the positive mask use. Went to my usual Morrisons in East Manchester and seemingly everyone wearing. Can't remember seeing someone without one.
Heard some macho tough guy talk in the gym today, guy was saying that we aren't scared of the flu so why should we be scared of this? Does my head in when people say stupid stuff like that.
Been hearing from my coworkers at Tesco there haven't been any problems with masks so far which I'm very happy about. The few complaints there have been are by co-workers which is disappointing.

The mask order should have taken place months ago, heck even if it was as late as June we would have a lot less daily cases at this point.
My father is planning to visit next Friday as part of a stopover, I tested myself for Covid yesterday and am just waiting for the results so I'm hoping it's all okay by the time he arrives. If I test positive I'll tell him to stay away. Fingers crossed.

Not great, actually.
However everyone at the supermarket was wearing a mask, so you know, that's something.
It's making me angry mask use wasn't already compulsory this whole time since it seems (anecdotally from this thread) to be working well
My kids are older now, but we're just meeting in their garden and being sensible.
Plenty of people will be feeling DOMS in the next few days. Hopefully nothing sinister is incubating in their bodies.
Plenty of masks in Sheffield today, although there was also a small group of conspiracy theorists.
The Towering Inferno is on TV, and no one's listening to the experts. I wonder how that will go?

Prices have been back to normal for a while, it's just availability that's been the issue. Fitness Superstore have tended to have stuff in stock pretty regularly though.
I've noticed a bit of an increase in usage in the couple of supermarkets and shops I go to, though I haven't been in to the city centre. I think they'll be mandatory here by mid-August, hopefully they'll make an announcement in Tuesday's briefing, and something about gyms opening back up too.
To be honest I think the knowledge that local lockdowns could happen and things we're able to do now could be rescinded is as much of a motivation as anything, but whatever works I guess!
I've been really pleasantly surprised by the general level of sensibility over distancing, masks etc. Some exceptions, both locally here, and generally across the country, but it feels like the public at large have decided that, regardless of how fast the government wants to move, they will work at their pace and stay safe.
Take this with a pinch of salt: rumours I've heard from a few people that police are travelling in plain clothes on public transport, in order to catch people not wearing masks.
LOL those British holidaymakers must have really caused it to spread...

Coronavirus: UK brings back 14-day quarantine for Spain
The move means people returning from Spain will have to self-isolate, as part of coronavirus rules.

You'd be fuming if you're already over there and coming back any day now.
But then again I wouldn't have risked going.

I shouldn't laugh, but yeah anyone that was actually sensible wouldn't have jump on a flight. Especially with Portugal still on the quarantine list.
They knew what they were risking...

I've been in Liverpool for a few days now, mask wearing much more prevalent here than London, also queueing and hand sanitising. I've only seen a handful of people breaking the rule in fact.
The type of person that's rushed off on holiday to Spain isn't the type of person who will now willingly quarantine for 14 days because the rules changed while they were away.
I'd love to be proven wrong but I'm pretty sure most of these people won't be changing what they were planning to do.

That definitely sounds like the kind of fucked up shit police would do.
My cousin, who was pretty on the ball at the start of Covid (telling people to wear masks, travel as little as possible, maintain social distance etc.) has now gone completely the opposite way and is currently raving in a a small outdoor pavilion with a bunch of her friends, mainly because she "missed going to a festival this year". I'm not on FB but my wife has been arguing with her for the past week as she's been saying that it's not as bad as she originally thought and that wearing masks is ineffective with all of her dipshit mates ripping into anyone who tries to get a sensible point across. Fucking idiots.
Shame on my local paper (and probably all localised Newsquest publications) for publishing this shit.

That is not a legal thing, it is basically an advert for some 'charity' profiting off idiots too arrogant to save lives with a tiny bit of cloth. The fucking card looks like margarine packaging, too. The paper promoting this seem really, REALLY irresponsible to me.

I took the Tube into London today for the first time since March, and I was pleasantly surprised by both how quiet it was and how thoroughly people were wearing masks. I may have seen one mask off inside a shop (if that, with the noticeable exception of people inside Costa), and I think everyone I saw on the Tube was too (although there was one individual wearing it beneath their nose). Someone did go and sit down next to me and my partner, but we up and moved to a different part of the carriage, and had to get off at the next stop anyway.
In general the shops seemed very quiet, compared to my expectation. I'd be surprised if the footfall was even half of what it would be on a usual summer Saturday, despite (or especially because of) the inclement weather. Forbidden Planet, of all shops, seemed to have a queue outside it, mind.
I'm also very happy to report that despite disinfecting my hands probably at least a dozen times throughout the day they don't feel at all chapped or dry!

Yeah that's what's rumoured. Wonder if he was getting an eye test by flying the plane and that's why he won't have to quarantine if so...

I did the usual weekly shopping run this morning and was somewhat surprised that almost everybody were wearing masks.
