The main thing for me is the commute cost. I don't even have to commute from outside London and I'm saving so much on tube fairs that I can't imagine going back to the old routine. To say nothing of the millions of commuters from the surrounding counties who are suddenly saving up to £500 a month that they would have given to Greater Anglia et al. People will have adjusted their lifestyles around this change and getting them to go back to 'normal' won't be an easy ask.

Angrymog posted:I also miss the bicycle and luggage carriage. If the main train was crowded you could just go into that and as long as you didn't mind sitting on the floor you had peace and quiet, because the conductor didn't care that you were there instead of a passenger carriage. I don't know how people could stand to leave stuff in that carriage, anyone could walk away with anything. Airport baggage claim areas are the worst too, always makes me anxious.

big scary monsters posted:Ah, the experience I miss most about my office job - leaving early for an afternoon in the sun. Dossing off and going outside is truly the one thing work from home has made impossible. Yes but at home you can only doss off in the sun with your family and friends. At work you can enjoy some quality time in the pub with your *checks notes* boss and receptionist.

OwlFancier posted:Who the gently caress drinks five coffees a day every day you'd loving die in a week. I used to have one really strong coffee when I woke up, and then had at least two at work. And those two each had two of the nasty Nescafe sachets in them - so it probably worked out to 5+ normal strength coffees in total. I'm still here but I crashed hard at 3pm every day and felt like utter poo poo.

forkboy84 posted:Yeah, but then it's an effort question. I have a Morrisons & Tesco on the way home, I have to go walk 30 minutes from the town centre to get to Lidl. Does Lidl do just the one malt or do they have a Speyside, Highland, Islay etc? Coz I like them all but sometimes you're in the mood for something that tastes like an ashtray & sometimes you want something almost like water (hyperbole but Dalwhinnie is really smooth). I just ask everyone for whiskey each Christmas and usually what I get lasts me until October or so. Doesn't stop me from drinking way too much very strong beer every week though.

Trying to get a respiratory condition diagnosed this year is really loving fun. "You're coughing heavily at night? Probably covid, better have a test." "Oh it's negative? Hopefully it'll go away on its own in a few weeks." "It's the same after three months? That's long enough that you should have another test." "The cough is far worse and you're struggling to catch your breath? Only covid could explain this change in symptoms."

Guavanaut posted:Masks work, distancing works, most vaccines work, space exists, and pushing the button gets you the green man faster in 99% of the country even if it doesn't for that that one crossing on Marsh Wall that was designed by The Worshipful Company of Eel Nonces in 1792 and has to be wound up every morning. Just push the button with a penny if you don't want to touch covids. A penny probably has ten times as many diseases (including a few covids) as a button. If I need to touch a thing and I don't forget that we're living in hellworld I usually just use my sleeve.

bessantj posted:This man has had far too much exposure. Do you know he has a patreon? £6 a month gets you "access to progress updates about my music and my commentary on political and social events. Interact with posts and give me your comments." Three times that gets you the same thing, plus a mug. A loving mug for £24 a month! And £120 a month gets you a Q&A session, early access to gig tickets and dinner with him once a year. In a sane world this would be illegal. UKMT could definitely pool together £120 per month to send someone to that dinner.

justcola posted:I was wondering if anyone knew why young people talk on the phone via the loudspeaker? I lent my phone to a lad and he put it on loudspeaker straight away then starting talking to it like a Star Trek communicator - I noticed it a few years ago when I was managing another guy on work experience and he was trying to book a venue - but it just seems odd to me. I could understand if their hearing was hosed or it was a way of having your friends hear a conversation or something, but I don't know really. I do it if I don't have headphones in already and I'm on my own. I just hate having my phone up to my ear. It also allows me to sneakily browse Twitter and forums while speaking to the GP or whoever.

ThomasPaine posted:I'd like to think that bringing back hanging would cause enough public outcry that even bojo wouldn't be dumb enough to try it but honestly a solid 40% of the country would probably be thrilled so who the gently caress even knows anymore. It just seems like such an obvious step backwards for society. It's one of those things - like public healthcare - that it's just really difficult to imagine a rational, sensible human getting wrong. Even if they have the empathy of a cockroach.

stev posted:Trying to get a respiratory condition diagnosed this year is really loving fun. Turns out a GP telling you to get tested doesn't help with the process of actually getting a test on the NHS, so I'm forced to pay for one privately if I want to receive any further investigations/treatment for something totally unrelated. Surely there must be a lot of people in limbo who need a test to get other stuff looked into, but can't afford to just buy one.

I've done a couple of tests at home since the pandemic started and I really struggled with it. I don't know if it's my gag reflex or what but I couldn't bear to have the swap at the back of my throat for more than a split second before I needed to get it out. Horrible experience.
