Eat only that French bird meal that requires you to wear a towel across your face to hide your shame.

I think you're supposed to put a towel over your head when you eat ortolan to hide from god, which I think basically means you would look like a bank robber if you combined it with a face mask. Also an interesting entry in "things that can block god's sight" which now includes roofs without god holes and napkins. Which i think means god has worse omniscience than a FLIR telescope.

I basically do the same when people can't manage to keep their distance when we're out and about. Pointing at the baby and saying "keep back mate, babies are germ factories aren't they?" rather than "stay away from my family you thick gently caress or I'll clobber you with my stick". I took my little girl to a farm park this morning, and was asked to fill in my name & number for track and trace. I refused because the woman before me in the queue sneezed into her hand and then used the communal pen, and the lass behind the counter gave it nothing but a cursory wipe with a dirty cloth. I gave her my details to write down (which she refused to do at first because of GDPR) and then ignored me when I advised she wash her hands. Thirty seconds later we walked past the window and she had the sneeze-pen in her mouth.

I've basically not gone into town since this whole thing started, just gone for walks in the village and down to the river and stuff where it's pretty quiet so yeah not been bothering with a mask so far but on friday I have to make a journey to one pretty busy town that I have to get the bus to and then on a train to a slightly smaller town so I'll probably just wear a mask the entire time cause gently caress it but I will need to sit down and eat at some point in my journey. That made me realise I had basically not really thought about the whole mask thing at all (I have got some but they have sat unused, sealed for a few months now) and ask the question.

Probably the same people who were OUTRAGED at the suggestion their driving may be impaired after a pint or two.

Reading novels from a few decades back can be interesting just for the social differences in them, such as characters driving off after drinking a bottle of wine at lunch and nobody batting an eyelid at this.

I remember the pub that I used to go, which was right across from the bus garage and was the de facto busman's pub, had two posters on the front door. One was "public health england says do not drink more that 2 pints a day" and the other was "police say if you drink more than 6 pints in the evening, you will not be fit to drive the following morning." Basically "we know you're going to ignore the first one but please don't endanger others."

Normally, country walks in the summer are a miserable experience for me as no one has created an anti-histamine strong enough to overwhelm my hayfever. Anti-histamine + mask? Basically no sneezing ever. I'll be using masks for the foreseeable future, pandemic or not

Unfortunately when you cannot see the vibrant and uplifting smile I usually have plastered on my face for the benefit of others it turns out I actually look like I'm two seconds away from murdering someone so mask at work is going to be interesting.

Guavanaut posted:The strangest thing is that it was only for front seat passengers. Rear seat belts didn't become compulsory to fit until 1986 and didn't become compulsory to wear until 1991. It's a function of evolving car safety and design. When seatbelts became mandatory they prevented a lot of deaths from people hitting the windscreen/frame and steering wheel and column or being ejected from the car, but people were still dying from stuff like sternum fractures from the seatbelt itself, "impingement" (where stuff from outside the passenger cabin, e.g. engine/gearbox or the thing you hit, gets in and fucks you up, diffuse brain injuries from sudden deceleration, etc. As these things were designed/legislated away, people who would have survived a previously-fatal crash ended up still dying from rear-seat passengers hitting them (in fact some of the safety features like seatbelt pretensioning actually exacerbated the issue), so that's when the impetus for rear seat belts started to build up.

Not yet tested this approach with banks or petrol stations. I've not been challenged on it yet but if anyone does I'm planning to explain that it's cause I don't want to give anyone the rona if I'm asymptomatic.

I'd assume that he was always a knob, it's just before QT, nobody knew who he was, so nobody was listening. Post QT, it's a mixture of arrogant bravado and the sly calculation that he can probably wrangle more money and publicity out of this than he could doing acting gigs.
