I'd doubt they'd want to invade as all they'd end up with would be a virus filled country full of raging halfwits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect in any event the Army wouldn't be a huge amount of use in the English Channel anyway chief. They'd get their boots wet.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just reading some of the recent posts, the warships, the army, that last map someone posted, a mental thought just jumped into my brain - Risk, the Coronavirus Strategy Game. I’m piling into North Korea and staying put. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 That applause thing might look good when apartment buildings or blocks of flats with balconys do it but I'd look a dick standing in my front porch clapping. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sky News journalist who broke that story, followed it up within an hour later with a tweet with a "Context Alert" saying the story was from a week ago. I see Sky News' website have now dropped the story, but it was up there (including as a headline) for the best part of the day. Irresponsible stuff (wouldn't expect anything less), leading to more panic which we can all do without. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee moments like this are good for the solidarity of streets and communities and i genuinely believe the nhs needs as much attention and gratitude as it can get. And yes i know they need ppe and decent long term funding, and better pay deals much more than some random clapping - and i know that this is pretty much all birthday caird pish - but it's a very small and easy thing to do. As with the YNWA communal singing, I will be clapping on the inside. I like people showing appreciation of NHS workers though. Grateful Mummies are always handing in wine for her...which I drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
