Pistol_Pete posted:Boris Johnson back at work today. Boris Johnson's close call with death has had the most dramatic effect on him. He is a fundamentally changed man, serious and somber, and will now tackle this crisis with all the gravity and circumspection it is due. Seeing the efforts of the NHS first-hand has further given him a new perspective on public services, and he appreciates deeply the need for them to have abundant funding and other support from an informed and engaged government. e; The ED-209 is 14 shy of 223.

Some of the papers are making out as if it's King Arthur himself arisen from the Isle of Avalon, returned to lead this blessed isle through all tribulations.

Ugh https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/apr/27/locked-down-advertisers-ask-is-it-too-soon-for-jokes Locked-down advertisers ask: is it too soon for jokes? Brands seek to strike right tone as they adjust to new rules of the pandemic Is it too much to ask for this crisis to destroy the advertising industry?

That is almost certainly a guarantee I'm afraid. Even if we weren't extremely likely to smash into a recession when the pandemic is "over" it'd still be a perfect narrative excuse to jump feet-first into austerity.

Yeah, Sunak's already said as much. I can't remember/find the words he used but basically he heavily implied that once the initial period was over, spending would need to be paid for. (presumably not by the rich though)

Use something to hold the bands together behind your head - people sell little clips especially for the purpose but really a bit of string will do the job just as well.

I had the same issue as you as my noggin is especially large, I ended up having to get a full face covering plastic mask instead, it makes me look like a idiot but it does the job.

Someone worked out that since BJ became PM, he's spent 72% of the time either on holiday or off sick lol. There are also rumours that his 2 week holiday at Chequers back in February was to smooth over 'issues' in his personal life, so I assume he's been having an affair again.

Jedit posted:Lovely to hear that you were just guilt-tripping her rather than being a full on petulant dick. Is there any human action we can have when we tell someone our own preference that is not in some way guilt tripping? I say this as someone who has swallowed my own feelings multiple times recently and then being told that I need to be more open about things is worrying me. How do we live without carefully curating our own inner lives so that we don't just spend the entire time screaming?

I have a massive head as well and making my own face mask worked fine. Fits well and doesn't use up any PPE supplies which key workers need more. Just need an old t-shirt, a needle and thread and some kitchen roll.

Cotton t-shirts are specifically designed to allow air and moisture through them, so the kitchen roll seems like a sensible addition.

So, hypothetically, if someone's work had sent them home to work from home, but reduced their salary by 20%. Is there anyway to check if their employer has applied for the Work Retention Scheme to pay 80% of their salary? I'm not saying my brother in laws employer is scum, but i'm suspicious.

If I understand what you're saying, that's pretty standard for most of these furloughs? Some companies are paying the extra 20% to keep furloughed employees on their normal wage, but there's no obligation to under the scheme rules.

Everyone will always tell you to be more open, listen more, compromise, stand your ground etc. Best way through life is doing what makes you happy and sometimes challenging what you're comfortable with. I think you can be open and honest etc. but the verbal gymnastics of talking to certain people so the conversation is productive can be hard. gh0stpinballa posted:we've been "about to pass through the peak in the next 5 to 7 days" for like 4 weeks now lol We're 2 weeks away from Italy so...blum, bla, ah, um, get lockdown done, blaum, ah, um.

If you're furloughed then you can't do any work for them, so either he's still employed at full pay and needs to sign a new contract if they want to drop his salary by 20%, or he's furloughed and shouldn't be doing any work.

Specifically you are not allowed to send people to work from home, you must do no work or your employer is not eligible for the scheme, if they are cutting your salary, expecting you to work, and claiming it back, they're doing a fraud.
