Savage Henry Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 They've had to stop filming Eastenders. I, for one, welcome our new Coronavirus overlord. The scriptwriters have an easy out if they want to cancel it forever. Everyone got coronavirus and died. The end. Except Ian Beale, who seems to be fucking immortal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Just picked up some mince and breskfast stuff from butchers on Byres Road. Was good too see Iceland doing their two hour shop for the elderly and vulnerable. Obviously nobody using automated tills but seemed to be a few older folk making use of it. Unlike the vermin filling their SUVs at Costco and supermarkets with stuff they'll never use, they all had a bag of two and or a pack of bog roll. Worker at the door Said about 100 folk had made use of the service. Some guy was asking an old dear outside where she got her loo roll. I told him go to Tesco or wait till 12 o'clock. So well done Iceland. Just makes you think the number of OAPs or infirm who haven't been able to make it out to the shops or get what they need? All supermarkets should follow suit. On the downside they've cut hours 10-6 as they don't deliver anymore. So staff probably getting a cut to their wage. Tesco closing earlier too. TL;DR All for designated hours for vulnerable folk to get their messages. *Got a 9 pack of Andres in Tesco early doors and a couple of packs of Anadin. DM me with bids...

Florentine_Pogen Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 “Politics is best understood as public relations for particular interests. The interests come first; politics is the means by which they are justified and promoted. On the left, the dominant interest groups can be very large – everyone who uses public services, for instance. On the right they tend to be much smaller. In the US, the UK and Australia, they are very small indeed: mostly multimillionaires and a very particular group of companies: those whose profits depend on the cavalier treatment of people and planet.”https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/18/politics-public-covid-19-tobacco-johnson?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, yes. It is what makes it affordable for restaurant chains etc. If the products were produced here prices would rocket and you would then complain about that. Personally I wouldn’t but get your point. ETA think I’ve said on here before but people’s insistence on measuring absolutely everything in monetary terms does my head in.

This is what particularly annoys me about the panic buyers. I'd be all for the greedy c***s getting a swift batoning from a squaddie and sent up the road empty handed.

You have zero knowledge of who I am & what I am like as a person so please keep your inverse snobbery & irrational hatred to yourself. So when people are being told to stay at home, work from home when they can etc, you've decided to go into work whilst you're actually on holiday? Smart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
