The family of chav-vermin-got-lucky that live next door to me are the same. Letting their 3 boys out with their pals everyday, and they (the parents) been having their pals over in the back garden sat on chairs right next to each other. 

I’ve been itching to go fishing. That’s a fucking stupid rule, especially if you were to have somewhere to fish 5 minutes from home.

We've got a neighbour like that too, the past week or so folk have been coming round, in the garden with their kids & theirs.

Dafty sister driving around every day hooting the car horn & throwing sweets at their kids :1eye

They simply cannot sit on their arses for 5 minutes. Reading a fucking book or home schooling their kids is beyond these minters.

Good shout auld yin, open the pubs for this weekend only also.

I could do my job as a football secretary on Saturday, go to the pub at night, maybe travel up North on Sunday then go back to work Monday.

Weekend sorted.

Chuck in 9 holes at the pitch and putt and you've described The Pozbaird Lockdown Routine.

Fishing is currently not on the government's list of things you can do, they don't want people travelling to fish. 

We'll just have wait it out.

 

The lochs around me have quite a few out fishing but they are out the way of one another.

I've only seen one person fishing since this kicked off and that was at the ballast bank at Troon, the clubs and fisheries aren't open.

Theres quite a number of folks going about coughing on people saying ‘ive got corona’ and causing people worry, hearing about it happening to members of the public and to police officers.

Some people are just scum I guess. I do despair sometimes :(

Agree with this.  At this stage, the slightest hint of a specific date for lockdown ending will see it flouted all over the place. For now, it's about managing expectations and keeping as many people indoors for the immediate future.

They should announce the lockdown is going to continue for another 6 weeks, then start easing off in 4.

Are we over reacting with a lockdown, social distancing etc when this sort of thing really happened? -

I was at Old Traford in 1975, When it was announced that a telephone warning had been received from the IRA.
A bomb had been planted in the Stretford End.
The announcer told us that anyone wishing to leave could do so, The gates were open, Nobody moved and the game carried on to a huge chant of ‘We’re gonna get our fuckin’ heads blown off’.

Sterner stuff or stupid?

Depends what stand they were in.

As if Thursdays couldn’t get cringe enough, tonight we have the “Big night in” on BBC with so called comedians and what I imagine to be a lot of patronising and lovvie behaviour. Then any 8 we have the clap. I also saw people want folk to clap and sing Happy Birthday to the old guy at 8.05. Just naw

Fishing is the preserve of the lonely alcoholic, no offence. The fishers I see are a bit grubby and laden with cans and Buckfast, but never fish.

I mind when I was a kid we stopped to watch one of the alcoholic fishermen up at the canal who, amazingly, had a bite.  This fucking gigantic eel appeared out the water on the end of his line.  I think he got a bigger fright than we did.

Taking a step back, covid has given us an interesting insight into what would happen if a really deadly plague struck the UK.

Something like Ebola.

It's worth just thinking about this for a minute because there's no real reason why this couldn't happen.

Maybe next time we'll be looking at something with an 80% death rate.

Just a thought.

Ebola's great because it usually kills the victims before they can pass it on. Just leave them alone, especially when they're dead, leave it to the men and women in spacesuits and we'll be fine.

Castle Semple at Lochwinnoch and Kilbirnie Loch have both been pretty busy when I've passed them on the train all this week, I've also seen people passing my window carrying rods who are obviously heading "up the burn".

Being honest I don't have a problem with it as they're not coming into contact with anyone else or impacting anyone from a virus perspective. I also don't see the difference between them heading for the hills fishing and the hoardes out on our roads and pavements cycling, but what do I know.

What has become clear is this attitude of "it's not fair if he can do it and I can't" should once and for all shoot down any ideas of professional football behind close doors happening in this country, while the rest of us are in some sort of lockdown.
