Quite, Bob didn't lie about his qualifications AFAIK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Telling folk to drive home or shit in a bucket obviously isn’t gonna be followed by anyone but if the guidance said it was fine you’d get people using it as an excuse to sit in someone’s house using the “well if I’m allowed to go to the toilet what harm am a dae-ing” types. Saying it’s not allowed means people will be more cautious when they do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 46 minutes ago, Dunfermline Don said: BBC headline online says ‘some’ families keep their children off. When you actually go into the story it says it may be as many as half that haven’t sent the children in. I consider 50% as slightly more than ‘some’! It's very nearly "most"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct, she should be using scheme language when speaking to the bawbags that choose to take the pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuter's on the other hand is a legitimate source, so it's ok to take them seriously. HTH Oh well, you'll ken best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 No problem at all with Sturgeon reminding people not to be arse holes. It's obvious that most folk are being sensible and will continue to be. There's clearly some non-total bams in the middle ground that need a bit of reminding. Still, though very encouraging numbers once again. This is getting beat by the end of June. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bummer, all that suffering for nada.. I know loads of folk who believe they've already had it due to similar symptoms as you were displaying, I wonder if there was another flu bug going about when Covid 19 turned up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 On the radio this morning a woman had phoned in to say she had kept her teenage daughters in the house since mid-March. They’d been in the garden, but not allowed out to shop/exercise/anything for 2 and a half months. They live with an elderly relative so understand there’s a bit of fear with that, but I couldn’t believe it. I think she said the gran had also not ventured outside even to the garden in that time. I feel really sorry for anyone that has become that scared through this. 1 hour ago, throbber said: I double dare anyone who is at a mates BBQ to defecate in their back garden and then pick it up with a poo bag and then carry on as normal. Would look very funny on TikTok. I was at a house party once where the host did pretty much that. For no apparent reason just curled one out in his back garden. It wasn’t as funny as you’re hoping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I know its the Daily Mail reporting this but they are trying to say the R rating is higher in Scotland, Wales and N ireland 0.7-1 than England 0.5-.0.8 not a chance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be happening at different rates in different places. It all seems at least plausible to me and may explain why the best efforts of Boris and his electorate to make a roaring c**t of this arent precipitating as we might expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, based on the positive test numbers in constant, considerable decline for ages now I struggle to see how they determine that R can be anywhere near 1.
