Been off all week with the flu, and now getting various facebook shares sent to me by elderly relatives with very spurious medical advice, such as gargling vinegar, cupping, and reiki.

Pretty sure only a few days away from the same people advocating bloodletting to balance my humours, or eating a boiled dog's heart soaked in piss, or whatever.

As if there's not enough misery in the world, ITV has some godawful sitcom on that feels like it's timewarped from the 70s.

It's as painful as Mrs Brown's Boys - like it's almost a pisstake of how loving unfunny and xenophobic they were.

In the first five minutes, they've made a job scrounger "joke", outright said "lefty BBC propaganda", and called someone a snowflake, and every line is drowned out in an explosion of fake laughter. What even the gently caress.

My mate's boss is already telling him he'll need to go in to work and has sent him a letter to show police to prove he's a key worker. This essential key work? Facilities at an office that has been closed for a week already.

My place manufactures non-essential plastics, and really should have shut down operations a week ago, but the ballache is this announcement has come just as I'm going to start nights, so me and my coworkers have no loving clue and won't find out what is happening for the forseeable future until the day shift come in.

Chap at work thinks the government's doing a great loving job in regards to the coronavirus.

loving gammon boomers I swear. Managed to annoy him by suggesting that the Tories were basically being forced to do Labour policy (I know I know, but if anyone's dense enough to believe the government's response has been in any way loving adequate or timely, they're certainly not going to know actual labour policy), and did at least get him to shut the gently caress up that Johnson's personal response had been consistant or good by referencing that Johnson said in an interview that he'd been loving shaking hands with patients with coronavirus, among the other contradictory poo poo he's literally said in the last two weeks.

Sorry, rant over. Just had to vent.

Oh yeah, Permitted Exercise report - you'll all be pleased to hear that every building site around Canary Wharf is going at full speed, because God knows they have to get those 6,000 or so luxury flats onto the market by summer when demand for million-pound shoeboxes with a view of other million-pound shoeboxes will definitely be peaking.

(For those who haven't been keeping track of my rants about this - 7 of the 10 tallest residential buildings in the UK (and 3 of the 5 tallest in Europe) are going up along one stretch of road on the Isle of Dogs, and all are due for completion between Q2 and Q4 2020/21, with ground being broken on another three buildings in that size range as we speak, due for completion in early 2022 - ironically the lockdown is probably going to allow them to speed up the completion of those buildings because they can get even more truck movements down that one narrow bit of road)

Literally the only reason my firm claim they're still open is to supply the NHS with drainage pipes and the like. Completely coincidental that they're supplying a load of plastics for the construction industry, and recent orders have been to a load of still-in-operation construction firms for new builds.

...And now they've just sent a company email saying they're winding down operations, because I imagine in the grand scheme of things at the moment, replacement drainpipe clips probably isn't high of the NHS list of priorities.
