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 They simply cannot sit on their arses for 5 minutes. Reading a fucking book or home schooling their kids is beyond these minters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
