Someone told me the NHS opening time for my local Asda was 7:30, so here I am, sat in the car park, waiting for 9 when it actually opens. :suicide:

People, look after yourselves whilst you can, I have a horrible feelings things are going to get pretty crazy in terms of the public response to continued self isolation, lockdown and the government's response

If that means preemptively raiding and looting your neighbours homes for tools, food and supplies so be it, make sure you've got a decent bit of wood or maybe a bat to defend yourself against the raiders, seen a couple of them skulking around recently, got me nervous got me hosed up

If you're planning on looting the neighbours its you. You are "the raider" who is potentially threatening the safety of the community. Hope this helps!

Yeah my first thought after reading the news was that coronavirus would be nothing compared to the repeated industrial-grade hangovers de Pfeffel has survived over the years. It'll struggle to survive in a bloodstream with a permanent ABV, and after a week he'll declare that it's "just a flu after all" and push the button to restart the economy while his chums all invest in bodybag production.

I would believe that if the theory was that Cummings secretly got himself infected to infect those two early enough in the new cycle, with the idea that if they got really sick the public would still be sympathetic

Man this country never ceases to amaze me in the worst ways possible.

A friend once described this as "the West Wing effect". People's concept of the ideal president is a Republican with Democrat policies. I think we're seeing the same here. Voters want a Tory leader who does Labour stuff.

One benefit of the pandemic: it saved me a day off. I always take the Monday after the clock change off so I can realign my sleep and insulin schedule. But tomorrow I'll be crawling out of bed at 8.30, turning on my work PC and clocking in before I grab my breakfast.

I am incredibly stupid
the Corbyn bit was extremely terribly bad but the self pitying bit about how much of a martyr she is for working from home is absolutely loving ridiculous

quote:

It’s not just about typing in your pyjamas (though obviously that’s a major perk). As all we seasoned home-workers know, the needs of the house, and its occupants, tend to seep osmosis-style into your personal workspace. Show me the child who cares one jot about your deadlines. Feel the deepening rage when somebody wonders if you could just pop some washing on if you “get a mo”. And so on. Every minute of every hour of every day. For ever.
oh really, you get an opportunity to do housework and see your kids during the daytime? that sounds so much worse than having to commute to work, do work, commute home and then maybe see your kids for an hour in the evening if at all and you also still have to do all the house work

and I'm sure none of those loving slackers who work in an office have ever had to deal with someone interrupting their work to ask them to do something, except its some annoying oval office who wants you to do something difficult for them (that's probably their job anyway) and won't stop bothering you until you do it, instead of your husband/wife asking you if you could do a 2 minute task when you get the chance.

That would never happen. Every minute of every hour of every day. For ever.

at least the guardian being loving smug shite is an unchanging constant in our topsy turvy world

It's probable that those polls are weighted by likelihood of voting and the question was the usual "If there was a General Election tomorrow..." The only people who would tick "Certain to vote" in those circumstances are the same Tory-voting pensioners who are wandering the streets because they've had a good life.

It was found near a badger/fox set (they share) and I'm assuming they unearthed it a few years back going by the moss growth

There's been a few settlements on or near the farm since roman times so it could be very old or just a few hundred years

It is something have thought about. But we would prefer to have biological children of our own.
It’s something we know we can do, and there is something magical about seeing a child and seeing a younger version of yourself or your partner.

As for adoption, two of my cousins are adopted. And I know how difficult it is to do that. If we had no other choice we might go back to, but we don’t want to give up on the idea of having kid or kids biologically.
