Used to think those Chinese walking around London and Oxford over the last 2 or 3 years with masks on were bonkers. They must have known!!

Basically any country that’s had a pandemic does this. Which always made our “the science isn’t clear” stuff a little laughable.

I generally go along with this .
But then I see some French News footage of leaders both national and civic displaying the predicted lapse in the approach towards social distancing .
It's difficult, masks have always made sense to me and we eventually got there.
I think we all knew it was around supply and logistics, availability.

Yeah the advice at the start was always “not if there’s shortages”, but the way that’s ballooned you full on mask scepticism in countries like U.K., US and NL is silly. Asians weren’t wearing them because they think it makes them look cool. Was always an exceptionalism in our thinking that we knew better than people who have been through similar.

You generally take up less space (on public transport, etc) if you have your backpack on your front

I think it's a courteous act, mainly from Japanese people. If they have a cold, they wear them to help stop passing it on to others.

rather than the brits who sniff and sneeze all over you on trains and at work. In theory, we should be healthier as regards standard coughs and colds this year too due to these measures

We've all suffered this, I'm sure - The work place 'team building' exercise. Which in itself is a thing of annoyance.
But what really gets my dander up is at the end, when invariably the 'team building' exercise leader will say, "Now I want you all to give yourselves a big round of applause".
Aaaaaarrrrrggghhhh!!!

When you work an 8 hour shift which feels like 12 hours, you get home and the next 8 hours fly by and it feels like 4. Back to the grind already tomorrow!!!

The entire speed management strategy of CCC to be honest. Just feels like a constant trap to make money from confusion.

It's not just CCC tbf, it's just a massive revenue source for the country. It's not even about road safety.

Got done doing 45mph down the London road and 52mph on 50 in Birmingham, both happened at a time when large firms when bust and needed a large payout from the government, one was carillon and can't remember the other but was about 9 months after.

Both completely empty roads with perfect driving conditions.

Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire are just as bad, as the points on my licence will attest

You should visit Bournemouth. Can't go down a road without a speed camera.

They're just goths, mate. Not hiding a thing - just read the book to its conclusion.

Speed trap down Coundon Wedge yesterday, he’ll have caught plenty. Those mobile vans HAVE to put up signs, so you can tell when there’s gonna be one. Rule of thumb is don’t speed, don’t worry about it - coming from someone with 7 points!

Though I have a soft spot for Cov United, I must admit this applies to them! Though it depends on what one defines as a shitty team. Cov Sphinx have decent media coverage, though not a broadcaster. Today's mega friendly between Leicester Road and Cov United featured full commentary, with our very own Kevin Thornton and Chris Camwell among those playing. They even have the audacity to release a 2pm-on-Saturday-like 'team sheet'.

Girls on SM who are in great shape saying they need to join/get back in the gym.

Attention seeking at it's finest.
