Mate, let's be honest... Our weather can never be appreciated.

Only seven flags? Seems a bit suspicious.

I'm one of the few weirdos who doesnt mind our weather.
Been a long winter though, looking forward to the lighter nights

Safest in the world mate! No hurricanes, no earthquakes, no tsunamis, no sun burn.

 

[Evo1883]

And a sneaky Georgian flag too

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If we were told that we could return to full capacity at football stadiums soon, but the only proviso was mandatory mask wearing - surely you would take it?

I would say we’re all outside in a very well ventilated space

No sun burn?
I'm fairly fair in Complexion, I beg to differ

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Ooh the dilemma ,jabpassports?

To go abroad yes, to go to a shop or restaurant no.

Quit your whining and get yourself down to Skeg Vegas then.

 

[Evo1883]

Quit your whining and get yourself down to Skeg Vegas then.

If there's one thing il never do again... It's holiday in skeg Vegas...
I dont know I reckon it was the beautiful beaches, the amazing weather and the relaxed feel of majorca that did that to me 2 years ago lol
What a beautiful place

I wouldn't mind Cornwall though, never had a holiday in Cornwall

Come on mate. You go on about mental health and then you make snide remarks about lock down lovers.
No one loves it. But we've had 130k deaths in a year. Some people find the thought of being part of that statistic frightening, no need to have a go at them.
Its a fucking scary disease.

Personally I think we're at the point now with how well vaccinations are going that I can't see any reason not to stick to the road map but I totally understand people who want to be a bit more cautious.

I've also had the jab as have my family members who need it most so I can afford to be a bit gung ho. Others don't have that luxury.

You're a self-absorbed c**t.

Save the outrage for god sake. The mental health line is low too (which is a crisis in itself at the moment largely due to restrictions).

It's facts. People in that age range of almost no risk. I have no problem with lockdown going on a bit longer, that's fine, get everyone vaccinated who's vulnerable. My issue is with the people that are scared and wanting to be locked up who want everyone to be like them, calling people cunts etc. Ridiculous shaming.

We do have a beautiful country. Say what you like about the beaches and weather in Spain, most of the country looks like a set from a roadrunner cartoon.

Strangely, I like it.. Have no idea why.

Maybe because its different I don't know.

I do appreciate our countryside though.

Just walking through a village and see things like this, beautiful country, well alot of it anyway

Greek islands are paradise for me, but the far Highlands and South Downs are excellent seconds

I spent 6 months in Cyprus back in 2003 with the UN and I loved the place.

In fairness the long COVID stats aren’t good even at the lower age groups.

Crete is a personal favourite but they’re all great places. Such friendly people.

The mental health line works both ways. There are people who are worried about coming out of this.
There is no solution that keeps everyone happy or safe but we can have a bit of empathy for people who are in a different boat to ourselves which is why terms like lockdown lovers isn't really helpful and bound to spark a response.

Don;t expect him to understand, it'll be someone else's fault as always.

I would say we’re all outside in a very well ventilated space

That’s not the question. And you couldn’t guarantee throughout the whole time in the stadium that it was outside and well ventilated.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Other half’s dad was quite reluctant to get his jab after the embolism stories in the press. Had a brief word to clear his concerns and he got it yesterday and now feeling fine.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So you could then say they should be worn in the concourse and such areas but not in your seat.

 

[skybluetony176]

I went to Crete in 96 and was there for the start of the Euros. I say I went to Crete, it was the middle of the night when we arrived, it was the middle of the night when we left so really I just went to Malia. Never saw Crete. Like all of Greece it’s the people that make it great for me.

Been twice there, Cyprus once when I was younger. Lovely scenery, always good weather, excellent food for barely anything and just very hospitable people. This year it’s off the cards but in the long run I’d love to have a holiday home out there.

Yeah like that’s happening and bit difficult when the dodgy hot dog and shite beer are going down the neck

Well being honest I don’t think they’re needed at football full stop.

 

[chiefdave]

My only concern is that it ends up weakening our built-in resistance to infections. Not being a medic, I couldn't really answer how / if it would do that, and for how long however. I'm sure I could Google, but...

There must be data on that. Mask wearing became prevalent in Asia after SARS which was back in the early 2000s wasn't it? So there will be nearly 20 years worth of data.

Interesting that after SARS people living in the countries who suffered the worst were happy to wear masks in public yet here we struggle to get people to wear them at the height of a pandemic.

No, the answer there is to make people feel like they don’t have to come in even if they aren’t well enough by offering fairer SSP.

You would hope that this would lead to a move away from the culture of pressuring everyone into the office when sick to spread their germs around but I suspect that won't happen. The push from employers will be to go 'back to normal'.

 

[chiefdave]

If we were told that we could return to full capacity at football stadiums soon, but the only proviso was mandatory mask wearing - surely you would take it?

Club could knock out some of these neck warmers which seem to be popular with PL players at the moment. I'd have no problem wearing something like that. Its freezing cold most of the season anyway!
