    Social distancing is about the best useful tool we have. Personally I would be stricter with it. If people stop getting close and the virus is halted thousands of lives will be saved. Yes the Tories are giving us false information. But they might have been misled. It is OK having extra testing...

    Maybe the Tories were worried about how we would take it. The sensible would understand. But they are more interested in winning votes than what is best for us.

    The smell of burning meat from next door when we are trying to enjoy a few spliffs.

    People don't understand jobs they don't see. I am covering several jobs on overtime that are not my usual job but have past experience in. one of them is goods in. Had a driver who kept invading my space. Kept telling him to keep his distance. Wasn't happy because I told him he had to open both...

    Why don't you pull the plug and not bother with Farcebook? Wife made me an account many years ago. Only use it as a tool. Use it to find people and to cheer me up when I am a bit down. I find it funny watching someone having a meltdown over something very trivial. Or someone having a rant about...

    Most irritating things during the pandemic

    WhatsApp has been great. My youngest granddaughter is 1 today. Without it I would have missed her first steps. Have been able to watch her 4 year old brother starting to play with her. And use it to keep in full contact with wife and younger kids. Great tool if used correctly.

    I agree. That is as long as they have a garden for a bit of fresh air. My younger kids haven't been able to go anywhere for 6 weeks. Last week the wife offered to take them for a walk as you can if you sort out the paperwork and stay within 1km of where you live. They all said no thanks as that...

    My theory is a lot of it is down to how 'friendly' a lot of Europeans are. Their families are closer and have lose greetings. So it spread very quickly. Spain had it very bad. Their lockdown was very tight. Their kids have only just been let out after 2 months. Maybe that is how our very soft...

    A pub is a pub. But that wanker won't be getting any more money out if me. He sacked all his staff instead of keeping them on in case he didn't get the money back off the government then had the balls ti tell them they could go wirk for Tesco's until pubs reopened then could go back to their old...

    It used to be my call in after my last night shift. Couple of hours sleep then in for my large breakfast with a couple of pints to wash it down. Will only cost me a few quid more to use a pub offering buffet breakfast and beer where they treated their staff with respect. And the walk will do me...

    Well too early. Social distancing between people who are pissed? Then you have the idiots that think they are invincible and can take on the world after sniffing a few beer mats. Our hospital staff have enough to cope with already without adding countless idiots. I know many of us love going...

    We are both missing something it seems. The bloke is a prick. Yes what he has said about the Tories is correct. Time to move on. But some still bring it up.

    OK. Say anything wrong about the Tories and nearly everyone agrees. Nothing to debate. You can always join in with the shitfest though. Say anything wrong about Labour and the same people jump to their defence. Look at it now and I haven't even said anything.

    I have read it. Read lots of pages in one go when on catchup. He has been getting lots of praise the last couple of weeks. So what has been said against him?

    How’s everyone doing at the moment ?

    I have the advantage over many of still working and keeping busy. 144 hours work in last 2 weeks. Should be going to see wife and kids Thursday morning but no chance. Not seen them since start of March. But at work until Saturday at least so no time to think about it until then. Due 18 days...

    Have I? I don't post on here much anymore. Mostly because of the double standards. When I look and catch up these days he gets constantly quoted. So what have his detractors said?

    Saying that you can never see someone past a certain thing they have done in the past and then comparing them with someone who the only thing they have done wrong is come from a different political party is a good comparison. If I can't get past something someone has done or said in the past I...

    Victim complex? Here we go again. I suppose this isn't having a go. The line thrown about frequently. How far back would you like me to go?
