  1. Cricket, is probably my favourite background character in any tv show. The way the gang just seem to forget the torure they've put him through makes it even better, Also him looking worse with every new appearance, save for uim becoming a priest again if  memory serves me right

    Depends it might be more contagious but if the effects are the same or "better" and they are treated to some degree by the vaccine then it will be business as usual pretty much. But if this new strand makes you a lot sicker and isn't effected by the existing vaccines then it will be lockdown mark 3 and quite rightly.

    The more contagious, the weaker the virus surely. Good news really, since the virus isn't going anywhere

    Struggling right now. Two weeks ago I was given the news that my best mate had passed away. I haven't seen him this year with lockdown and he generally moved between his mums house and dads house, so it was difficult to co-ordinate. It was a real shock and added to the stress over the last two weeks, it wasn't exactly clear how he had died, I've basically been running every scenario through my head non-stop and it's been eating away at me. I've been told this morning that the cause of death has been reported as suspected alcohol withdrawal. Of all the scenarios that I was running through my head, that wasn't one of them. He was quite a depressive guy, he'd go in and out of periods of being healthy and unhealthy but I genuinely didn't know he was relying on alcohol so much. Over the last few months he'd started losing weight through changing his diet/exercising and was starting to look at dating again, I genuinely thought he was on the right track. I still can't really get my head around the fact I won't see him again and I can't really understand how this has happened. He would've turned 32 in 2 weeks time. I wish I'd known he was drinking every day, feel a bit fucking stupid that I've not noticed that my best friend was an alcoholic.

    This year has been the most stressful of my life without doubt. With my work and covid going on, I feel exhausted at the end of every day now. I've noticed it doesn't take much for me to get angry and I've probably lashed out at people/things when I should probably have thought better of it. I should probably think more before I call someone out on here because I don't know what they're going through. I see a few pages back that @Thereisalight.. has been struggling, so I'm sorry to you for being a dick on the COVID thread, I sincerely hope you are okay man and I'll reign it in. 

    His funeral is next week and at the moment I've been told there's room for me to go, but I don't know if that will change when these tiers come in. I just feel absolutely drained and I don't know how to deal with myself. I just want to hit Pause and have everything stop until I feel better. 

    Can only sympathise mate. When I was taking drugs daily, I done my absolute utmost to hide it from family and friends. Withdrawals, I would play off as the flu or a stomach bug. So try not to overthink that you didnt pick up on your best mates dependance on alcohol, as most addicts I've come accross it is there dirty little secret. Most will only come clean when they are finally done with their addicition. Repeating myself and rambling, but don't feel stupid about not noticing his addiction. Keep ploughing forward, next year is a new year

    Starting to get a bit worried about Todd. Maybe he’s been caught trying to smuggle graphs out of Turkey and is experiencing a Midnight Express scenario.

    Assume his girlfriend holds up graphs for him to w**k over at visits, instead of showing her tits

  5. When the cases in hospital were revised i.e people who had covid and recovered but were still in hospital due to another illness, no longer being classed as cases in hospital. Before this revision of cases, were deaths being treated the same way, recover from covid but die due to another condition. If these people were until a few weeks ago classed as covid patients in hospital, were those that died during that time classed as covid when they were free of it at the time of death?

    The only idiot I can see around here is the one who lollops into his workplace on days off to 'help out' the staff who all hate him and announces his 'resignation' from an open Internet forum only to slink back under a new alias. That's genuine low double-digit IQ behaviour right there.

    Get back in your box then.

    This can't be true

    Ironically it's the opposition parties in Scotland who are the ones bringing "politics" in to it.

    Can you explain what the Scottish Government have made a "balls up" of please and also explain what the opposition would have done better / differently ?

    I find your post most bizarre as it's widely acknowledged that many English unionists are in fact envious of the strong government and clear decision making that we have here in Scotland.

    Sending bed blocking pensioners into care homes untested and knowingly sending covid positive patients into care homes. That enough should see people serving time. The country basically being in stand still for 6 months. The fall out of this will be huge. I'm all for independance but I do believe Scotland needs another party that is pro independance. The SNP are guaranteed 45% of the vote every election due to one policy. Throw in the exams fiasco and the SNP should not be put on some pedestal beacuse we are neighbours with probably the only other country in Europe thats fared worse. Holding your standards up against that of WM is like finishing 17th in the PL. Everything is political these days it's horrid, and this hate crime bill is the icing on the cake. Turning the country slowly into a land of suppressed speech

    Not to mention that, despite excess deaths being largely comparable on a par with those in England, the übernats are falling over themselves to lavish praise on how wonderfully safe the care home Butcher of Bute House has kept us all, whilst simultaneously hammering BJ for his handling of it.

    Because everything in this day and age is political. A pandemic should be bringing people together, but drag politics into it and it just divides everyone. The SNP have made a balls up of the pandemic, some people with their SNP blinkers on will just refuse to acknowledge it, and point to WM's handling of it. There is a great video on youtube with Neil Oliver on talk radio but have no clue how to post it. It seems there's no middle ground anymore and everyone is either a liberal 'snowflake' or a right wing 'nazi'.

    Not exactly work colleagues, more customers, but I feel suitably angered that I need to post them somewhere. 

    Utter c***s, who have never bought anything from you before, who phone up looking for something to be delivered yesterday and ask you for a ridiculous discount plus 30 days payment terms. Why do c***s think that's acceptable? Can you imagine me walking into Curry's and saying to the guy "I like yer £1,000 TV there, any chance I can get a third off the price and pay you the rest in 30 days time?". Fucking c***s. f**k off.

    Utter c***s, who have never bought anything from you before, who phone up asking for a quote, which you give them and they come back with "I can get this much cheaper from X company", as if I give a fucking hoot. You asked us for our price, you got it, if it's cheaper elsewhere then fucking go and buy it and never talk to me again, you fucking c**t.

    Happy Friday!

    I'm 6 4 too, but would rather be 6 6...

    How so, unless I'm missing a penis joke here

    So what was their life expectancy before Covid? I've got prostate cancer but expect to live a good few years yet. If I die from Covid related stuff in the next few weeks I'd want it to appear on my death certificate.

    The same as If you passed away with the flu or pneumonia in winter or any other infection. Hope you pull through, but cancer patients going through chemo or those on immune suppressant drugs are at the mercy of many things, not just covid

    I love a good conspiracy theory, now stop changing the subject and show us some evidence that doctors are being dishonest with death certificates.

    None, bar the one I mentioned. The same evidence I have of them being honest on death certificates
