... and boozers outdoors

Indoors from 17 May.

Not best pleased and think from late March/April, the amount of household gatherings will go through the roof - will be interesting to see if the modellers have built that in...doubt it !

The irony.

That's my birthday.

And i'm teetotal.

We’ve already written off foreign holidays. Just gonna go around the U.K. to places we haven’t been. This country needs the tourism cash anyway.

I'm thinking of booking abroad for 2022.. Will probably just go bedworth this year

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Selfish wankers. I've been dying for a pint with my mates last few weeks but there's more important concerns, like making sure people don't die unnecessarily.

If we're not careful people could literally be dying for a pint.

Rees Mogg?

Nah. He ain't that modern.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I don’t know how I feel about this. June for everything back to normal sounds amazing but mid April before a pint sounds like ages.

Covid cases up and vaccines down to lowest since it began.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Great news! Let’s hope June 21st is the day where we get our freedoms back for good, this madness has gone on far too long, can’t wait for the summer

Sure you can handle the language and culture barrier?

Oh, and don't drink the tap water.

Vaccine number tailing off is a concern, been happening for a week, albeit still good going overall. I’m (optimistically) hoping it’s because they’re about to ramp things up.

The confirmed cases increase isn’t as clear cut. It’s up a little bit from last Monday but that’s from 590k tests, up from 401k tests prior week. The rate of decline has definitely slowed recently though

Good to see you're still here. Not noticed you around lately.

Was trying to reason the vaccine drop off due to the fact that maybe there is some sort of delay between priority groups or something. I really hope they can keep it up though, they must be confident if they think we'll all be jabbed by July if we want it. Increase in positives though? No idea.

Cases up slightly on a weekend day, doesn’t mean much, see where the trend goes.

Vaccines were always going to drop this week with Pfizer supply thing I think.

I meant I should read the room tbf.

 

[robbiekeane]

Still more estimated currently infected people than any time last year (albeit a whole new level of testing so numbers would naturally be higher). Think I might've waited until we were further down that descension before committing to dates.

As long s I, and Mrs Wisdom, have been vaccinated!

 

[Skybluefaz]

Yeah I know, but you are right. I'd read those figures just before you posted and took a sharp intake of breath.

after a couple of months (mainly) out of work got offered a full time job today, now this, announce a Ricoh return and I might go a bit giddy!

Good to see good news on here fair play

That's great news mate! Congratulations. City Arms bender before too long.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Anti vaccine folk had better get their priorities straight, benidorm will go under if they don't have their jabs

It's a smart move.

How to get the population to get a job? Refuse to permit Wetherspoons, Benidorm, and Bingo until they've had one.

 

[clint van damme]

Thanks. I'm still boycotting Wetherspoons!! Be interesting to see how many other people are going to hold firm, if it was the only place open I think my principles would go out the window!
Any way, the clubs cheaper!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The good thing is, with June now (hopefully) being the target to be basically back to normal, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

That is one thing many people have needed for a very long time.

Ah yes, good point. Forgot about that!

A crawl round Earlsdon finishing up at the old cottage would be a thing of dreams right now.

Love a Wetherspoons, had my stag do in Benidorm and used to work at Gala Bingo. Ha ha

Albany Club? Any news on memberships this year yet?

Not doing them until it reopens. They haven't got anything set up to do it online.
Only got the e-mail a few days ago. Couple of Sam's before going up the Ricoh - make it happen gods of football and drinking!

 

[Evo1883]

Right, My diet until June

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Well if you're listening God, well done. Mrs Wisdom gets her invite.

I’ve always boycotted Wetherspoons tbf, even before I became aware what a total bellend owns them. Can’t stand it. Shit beer and shit atmosphere.

to be honest I like the one near me, and I gave him a pass for using his pubs to push his leave agenda but when he started pontificating about Covid and telling his staff to go and work in Tecos enough was enough.
