NJ2 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Just received my "high risk" letter this morning from the Scottish Government. It says i've to self-isolate and follow the various instructions they provide for a full 12 weeks - "from the date of this letter". I've been chez moi since 21st March, so i'm already 5ish weeks compliant. Another seven weeks from now will take me to the middle of June, which is roughly when my work are looking (optimistically) to be resuming. I'm more concerned to find out if this letter is the equivalent of a "sick line" if my work want to resume, but i'm obliged to stay home due to my health (or lack of it or i wouldn't have got the letter). It's something i'll look at if the situation arises, but has anyone here who has a similar letter been made aware of what the position might be ??

Cheers Not me (hard as nails) but know a few folk who have received them, basically same boat as you. Self isolate as much as possible and just see when the situation changes. Not easy or much fun but needs must for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Somehow managed to get sucked into a covid-19 conspiracy theory/anti vaxxer discussion on Facebook earlier, arguing with a couple of folk who have always seemed generally sound of mind but now seem certain that Bill Gates wants to force the world to take his drugs so he can rule for all eternity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his dosh and being in his 60s would he not be better working on a life extending drug before going for world domination? Would only take the world domination bit serious if he was in a swivel chair and stroking a cat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the good people of P & B not record a charity single to raise funds for Mumsnet given our fraternal/sororal/paternal/maternal connections from a few years back ?? I'd like it to be a fitting tribute and would suggest a cover of the legendary Fife band, "Stookie's Foot" single from the 70s called "Whingeing Bints". Any alternatives for the charity single ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have played through it twenty times in my life, or not far off that. 11 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: I have his original in my flat. Never played any Final Fantasy game.

My dad took us on a shopping day out, which sadly were all too many boring days normally to Perth or Kirkcaldy where we would just walk round and browse a load of junk. We were in Woolworth's in the Mercat centre and they were doing a deal you were getting 2 Platinum games for £20. My dad mostly bought me the platinum (reduced classic) range because he was a cheapskate but wanted to keep me happy. He said he'd buy me this and another game if I wore a stupid "Jimmy" hat for the rest of the day. I absolutely f*cking hated him for making me do that but I wanted this so much I agreed. Also got the original Driver, which was brilliant at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirling was their big one (it's surprisingly close to Saline) if it wasn't Dunfermline, but there was the occasional Kirkcaldy visit. Like you I absolutely hated such trips and was fucking delighted when I was old enough to not have to go. P.S. Aye you've still got some bags of shite here (not literally bags of shite of course). Found your Filth poster recently. Edited April 22, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
