i did it for 10 years it was a piece of piss
That’s what it seems like from the friends I’ve spoken to. One doesn’t even have to take leave anymore, they can just take their laptop with them wherever, do a few hours work and that’s them done. Been told they’ll be like that all year
I really can’t believe there’s manyFurlough also is creating a scenario where those on it still and happy with the 80% are horrified at tne prospect of working again

Nah, I love going to the cinema to watch a movie. At home the temptation is there to get the phone out. Plus the comfort and general experience is brilliant.I could quite happily never go to the cinema again if new releases continue to be made available, albeit at a premium price, on streaming services. Its a shit experience with people chatting, messing with phones, munching on snacks etc.
One thing I do hope we'll see as a result of WFH increasing is an increase in coffee shops, cafes, restaurants etc in residential areas. Don't believe people genuinely want to be stuck in their houses 24/7 never seeing anyone. I'd love to be able to walk to a coffee shop or pop out for lunch but there's nothing local enough to walk to. Been reading a bit about the concept of 15 minute cities and if we move towards that I think quality of life for a lot of people would improve.
If they are pulling their weight and getting the job done what is the problem?That’s what it seems like from the friends I’ve spoken to.

Getting paid lots for frankly doing hardly anything
Of course the media are overplaying it. What planet do you live on?
So if the person isn't pulling their weight then they should be pulled up on it, however if they are doing high value work it is what it is surely? Or is it just jealousy?Getting paid lots for frankly doing hardly anything
Says the guy who works 39 weeks a year and finishes at 3!
*runs very far, very fast*

Hehe, indeed. Where’s my self driving car Mr IT
This completely sums up Boris during this pandemic.

So the PM comes out and says he’s worried about the new variant and the June 21 reopening could be in question as a result, and you think the media should talk about what? Love Island?
Sums up O’Brien, he’s a prick....probably mentions brexit somewhere as well ?
There is no doubt if youre being cautious you stop flights from India earlier, I personally would have. However, this is also not binary....we live in country that has a high Indian population. Even now all Heathrow red list hotels are full and they’re moving people to Gatwick hotels. So, basically we would’ve been saying stay in India where everyone’s getting covid and hospitals are overflowing ?
Ps a quote I’ve heard today about a majority of the Bolton hospital Covid inpatients are that they are between 35-65 and ‘have not received a vaccination dose but many are eligible’. WTF are you supposed to do about that ?!

I've WFH since 13 March 2020, it is being forced upon us until at least October. I'm looking for another job as I fucking hate itSome jobs just can’t be WFH though and it irritates me a bit that those having such easy times of lockdown are fine with long established things to do being gone for good.
Do some people really live their lives in an entirely functional way? Going to restaurant is just for sustanence. The cinema is just to view a film.
Well the government are with yours and my moneyBloke who works for me i asked to come back for a couple of days and he was well pissed off as hed planned to go fishing - one of my kids has loved it and now has another job and they are still paying her

I don't often notice people doing it at the showcase.Trouble with the cinema is other people being tempted to get their phones out.
Learned the sum total of fuck all over the last year. The vaccine rollout is clearly an accidental success.

Conducting a fire drill in a Secondary school is pretty totalitarian, if you define it so literally, but there's no other way.What metrics are scientists using to decide what is totalitarian? Why are scientists being asked and not political theorists?
You can tell by a title that something is going to be proper batshit.
On Saturday, the British Medical Association (BMA) said it had serious concerns about the decision to continue with the easing of lockdown restrictions.
"It is a real worry that when further measures lift on 17 May, the majority of younger people, who are often highly socially mobile and could therefore be most at risk of a more infectious strain, are not yet vaccinated," said the BMA's Dr Richard Jarvis.
Minutes from a meeting of government scientific advisers, held on Thursday, said that "an even faster increase can be expected if measures are relaxed" in areas where the Indian variant is already spreading.
And if the variant was 40-50% more transmissible than the current dominant type, they warned proceeding to step three of England's roadmap on Monday would likely "lead to a substantial resurgence of hospitalisations (similar to, or larger than, previous peaks)".
I don’t understand!!!!
Hancock saying it’s pretty safe if you’ve had both vaccines but still need to be careful and do social distancing and other measures. Huh?

All the Tories I know will say one of two things whenever anything inconvenient is brought up
‘He’s doing his best’
‘Corbyn would have been worse’
Or my favourite so far, ‘Corbyn would have given all our doses to poor countries’
