Listening to this report on FG blocking bills with a minority gov (including environmental bills, legalisation of medical marijuana and banning imports on goods from Israeli occupied Palestine) and I really have to wonder how that general election would have gone if this information was available last week?

Knowing my secondary school we would have been banned by name from several resorts by the time my year came around. Much like with our debs.

Got into work today and found my boss has been sleeping here because her LL has gone plague prepper crazy and wont let her back in if she's gonna be doing mad shite like go to the gym, or to work. You know, with all the corona virus obviously floating about.
But its ok by her because he isnt charging her rent while she isnt there????

It would be great to have a boss with so little self-assurance though. Just tell them to hand over their wallet, and that you're gonna go on paid holidays for 6 months

Without saying anything specific about her...yes. And also it's my job to tell people "no" a lot and I relish it.

I'm worried about it messing with my work ( I pierce on commission mainly) and how I'm going to pay my slimebag land lady if I'm not allowed outside.

Washing my hands isn't something I'm super worried about. I worked in a kitchen for a while before I worked in the tattoo shop and between the pair of them I've HAD to be good about it. I'm only really discovering that isn't quite the same for a lot of people though... which is gross.

My other big concern is the amount of full on bullshit floating about over all of this. My boss got sent a chain whatsapp that she had a mild crisis of conscience over because she's a first responder and she didnt know how to tell a whole group of friends they were being stupid and nothing in the message could possibly have been accurate.
We had a customer in who claims the Isrealis are close to a cure after 2 years of work.
Everyone I know has suddenly decided to tell me all the dead dog in China stories they've just stored up in some bigot cabinet in their minds for years.

Anyway I was in work for about a half hour today before Radio 1 started hand wringing over the idea of funeral homes being overrun with corpses so I turned it off. I'd hit covid 19 discourse saturation by 10:20

More recently with storm.. uh... the one that was a minor hurricane, that most of the country stayed indoors for and thus kept the death toll to something like 4 across the whole country.

That said I'm not ready to lock myself away until I absolutely have to, I'm not secure enough to not go to work

They don't need to be antibacterial. Its a virus so you just need soap.

Today's fun quarantine challenge appears to be "Find the Bottleneck" - you play by finding the only unavoidable narrow space for miles around and then stand there having a nice aul chat with your friends right across the width of it.

:argh:

A lady in Tesco yesterday was very upset with me because I stopped waiting for her very important sweets crisis to grab something next to her. She was literally doing "Ketchup? Catsup?" with White and Milk Chocolate buttons.

I was a lot more worried about it a few weeks ago because I was really afraid I'd bring it into the shop and give a customer or my boss it or obviously get it myself and force the shop to close way ahead of time. But now I'm just too impatient to be nice for the kind of person who's dragged their entire family out for a walk and is now talking 6 feet away from someone else's entire family on the only piece of pavement havin a good aul chat in 0 protective gear

It does show how they're either completely insane, just doing this for attention, or both. If they actually wanted to win the case they would presumably have engaged legal representatives to present it professionally on their behalf. Representing themselves just ensured they were guaranteed to lose.

I'm not sure how much sense it makes to try and smear a guy with additional murders when it's pretty clear that it came during the middle of a severe mental break\coke bender, but I guess they needed to protect a Gard at all costs :shrug:

It's super suss that a Garda would stop someone on the road for driving a motorcycle and thought "oh yeah I should bring my gun". But RIP to that herocop I'm sure whatever was going he was only trying to further the cause of peace and order on our fair island ect ect

I was messin', cos this hellhole could be the country or this website.

Been feeling bad about my SF votes lately, not only cos of Mr MMA bigot being welcomed back into the fold, not only cos they pissed about up North over abortion (:psyduck:) but particularly because my local SF TD decided to try and drag Leo for liking girly music. poo poo boils my blood, you could go after him for so much already and it's always him being part Indian or him being gay.
