Never been to a strip club but this thread has shown me that if I ever get the urge, the person to speak to is @ICTChris - his knowledge of the strip clubs and brothels of central Edinburgh is encyclopedic.

I see The Apprentice is still chugging along. Caught 2 minutes last night and some guy was getting slagged off for doing a pitch with his back to the audience - just like in every other series since day one. Others to add - Grey's Anatomy. My wife's favourite show of all time and even she has given up on it. Great British Menu - they have tinkered with what was a fine, low-key show too many times now. Stopped watching when they brought in Susan Calman. I'm a Celebrity - since moving to Wales it has lost some of its spark. Never a great show, but painful now. Depending on how the reboot under RTD goes, Doctor Who could well be added to this pile.

Fair enough if there's a league involved for the original.

Looking forward to this. I watched the lot last year for the first time, start to finish and really enjoyed it.

It hasn't appealed to me either. And I'm not sure where there are threads popping up all over the place - can't these just be merged into one?

BBC Scotland this morning interviewed two folk from the shielding community. I wasn't expecting quite so much anger, but the two who were on were furious. As far as they see it, removing these "protections" is discriminating against the disabled. It's a human rights violation. I think the point really needs to be made - nobody is forcing people to take off masks. If you feel safe with one on, keep it on. If you feel safer not going to the shops, don't go to the shops. If you don't feel safe at a concert/football match/meeting, then don't go. Just because the narrative is about ending the legal requirements for these things doesn't mean they are banned. Masks will carry on for many.

Never had you pegged as an alcoholic rogue ex copper, fired because he didn't play by the rules to get the job done.

Pro stalker?

8 for Wednesday. Point of order, Mister Speaker. The question in question 2 is incorrect. They do not culminate with that story. And it was a short story, not a book.

As we found out today, you didn't break any rules.

Who says AI doesn't exist?

Twice in two minutes across two threads...on a twosday

To be honest, I don't know anyone who broke that particular rule. Everyone I know who caught Covid isolated for the required 10 days, despite the problems of getting food delivered and such like.

Hello Fresh stuff arrives tomorrow. We'll see if it is any good. When I get paid I'm going to get either a Campbells or a Falleninch Farm box too

The key word being "must" - that is an instruction. This is from 5th January this year. ETA: these have consistently been referred to as self-isolation rules throughout. Example here

Did this - I got a flying lesson for my 21st birthday. Flew from Cumbernauld, flew over my own garden and saw my dad there. Half a lifetime ago...

This is one of those things where, technically, she is correct but for the public this was never the case. It was the law in England and the Scottish Government did nothing to ever suggest it was different here.

Thing is, there is a hard core of people who believe that this is the case now who will have all summer to spread their propaganda. "A plane crash every week" is how they're describing the currant death figures. Our only hope (jeez, can't believe I'm about to type this) is that Johnson and the Tories keep the tap switched off to prevent the money being splurged all over the place come the winter.

When I started this thread (4 years ago, FFS) I called it Prohibition for the Poor. Exactly what it is.

So long as 40% of the public think they can do no wrong, they can do what they like.

Wee Dougie Ross pretending to be a statesman.

I am in no doubt that it'll be a vaccine rollout in September, and masks/passports back by November at the latest. They'll try to make this an annual thing
