It was most likely the TV crew going 'hey lads lets see you do some unloading for the punters to have a gawk at' and just started filming them not giving enough time to organize where poo poo was to be moved to.

The soft glows of the burnt out cars being used as baricades. The gentle pitter patter of glass bottles tinkling against RUC land rovers. That 'after water cannon' clean smell.

You will be able to tell when Boris dies when a maelstrom appears above the hospital and a black fuzzy patch (with blond top) gets dragged screaming into it by the ghosts of thousands of people killed by him and the tories.

Good luck with this lol. My home area in NI has a few vegetable picking farms, and before the virus they couldn't get enough people to pick the stuff here for the last few decades. Can't see the locals volunteering to do poo poo here.

goddamnedtwisto posted:There's a rather more prosaic and practical reason for that - the man stands at the kerb side so if any passing traffic sprays up horse poo poo it hits him, not her. Now that's possibly/probably just as apocryphal as the sword thing, but I reckon horse poo poo was a lot more common than having a sword fight in most places in the world. And poo poo flung from above. Remember people would throw their contents of the potty's out the window into the street.

Barry Foster posted:Yeah, fair. I suppose there's a difference between trying to show solidarity and throwing yourself into the woodchipper pointlessly. We sold our old house to one of these farmers. And the first thing he did was change the electricity meter to a pay as you go one with cards so he can rip off the workers even more. Then filled the place with workers, at least two to a room. When they weren't working, the place was constant music and public annoyance. We got calls from locals thinking it was us for a while. It is definitely not Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Gloves and mask for the stylist, cleaning the chairs etc between customers (the implements are all meant to be cleaned between each use anyway) and distancing in the waiting area and a couple of big bottles of hand sanitiser should be enough, surely? Most hairdressers aren't that big, as they only need a row of chairs to sit and wait, and how many chairs and mirrors on the opposite side. They aren't designed for distancing mostly. Also, hair itself is hard to keep track of, and it can have the virus itself.

NotJustANumber99 posted:There's a generational lag I guess to a certain extent. My siblings are having kids about now and don't really care about the clothes being blue or pink but it's our parents and excited aunties and uncles buying a lot of that stuff. As a kid you are more worried WHATS on it, not the colour. Like holy poo poo I would go mental if I didn't have my Thundercat tshirt when I wanted it. I think kids are more into toy brands like we were than actual colours. Old folks picking presents default to the color difference if they don't know what to buy them.

Is it just to prevent good things happening to US citizens by Trumps government in the runup to the election or are there real issues with it? Did they give a reason? The big one is there is within it a 500 billion slush fund for the Republicans that specifically doesn't have a paper trial for the first six months.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:C5 cancelled Xena part way through series 4 over 20 years ago and I'm still bitter about that as I then had to spend £00s on VHS boxed sets to finish watching it. I'm still bitter how Channel 4 treated Babylon 5. Sundays used to be great. 4pm Smallville, 5pm Babylon 5, then 6pm Scrapheap Challenge all in a row. Then they stop showing the last 4-5 episodes ever of B5 (and the others), to show some shite like Friends or Everyone Loves Raymond. And only after a lot of complaining by people they aired the episodes, at 1am-2am on random nights just to get them out of the way. This was the end of the Channel 4 being amazing to watch in the 90s.

I can't see how it would be any different in the UK? josh04 posted:Northern Ireland is, it's about doubling the rates. Yeah, NI is. I think its because the ONLY deaths in some areas are from nursing homes. In my home area, there is only 10 deaths, and from local gossip we know at least 3-4 of those are from nursing homes.

OwlFancier posted:I think the oddest thing I ever had happen when clothes shopping was when the guy at the shop told me I didn't need short legs when I asked for them because I'm too tall. Oddest thing was when I wanted to get measured for a suit for my brothers wedding. He was getting all us family the same style/colour. And the professional gentlemen suit making store I went to to get these looked at me as if I was asking them how many heads I have. Now I am a fat bastard, but not that fat. I had no way to find out what neck/chest/waist/inleg I was at that time. And didn't want to DIY and get a suit that is 3 sizes too small or big as had no way to change it after it was ordered. I even offered to pay them a tenner for literally 1-2 minutes work. Still laugh to this day about it, the shocked faces from them.
