superbigal Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 This nonsense with the App should be properly exposed. Govt always knew Apple were never coming to the party. It was always going to absolutely hammer the battery life of their phones so they said f**k no from the start. Android phones were actually also going to suffer badly. Dominic of course once again knew better than the tech firms. of course his pals have done well from this flop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I cycled to Girvan tonight. The roads are so much busier than they were even 3 weeks ago. Also about 20 motorcyclists outside the chippy. I don’t have an issue with any of that but I saw one one of them peeing beside the public toilets as they aren’t open. I really don’t see why you can go to Tesco or Morrisons and use the toilet but the public ones aren’t open, especially when there’s more people out and about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfurloughed staff must wait at least 3 weeks to be furloughed again. That's not correct. The 3 week rule is the minimum amount of time they have to be on furlough. There are no rules about minimum time to bring them back before re-furloughing. You could have someone work a day then put them back on furlough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However she reckons by the time it’s comes to her second cycle we should be at phase 3 and possible even phase 4 so her work might be back to normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close but Irwin Allen probably had 500 times the budget as that was a triffid from the early 1980s BBC serialisation of "Day of the Triffids". Cardboard, string and chicken wire, these were the special effects of the pre CGI generation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, all you had to do was prove that you'd been actively working to promote "a religion" for at least two years; the criteria was extremely lax in comparison to every other category, and I don't think they restricted it to known, established religions due to the First Amendment. You could basically start your own. No idea if the rules are still the same, but worth thinking about if you fancy emigrating and have a bit of time to wait. I won't be doing it myself but, if I ever change my mind, it's good to know that all I'll need is the runic robe to have gathered my first disciple 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Saw a tweet saying there have been more suicides in Scotland in the last 2 weeks than there have been Covid related deaths. My wife's pal was at her Uncle's funeral last week, he had decided that life was no longer worth living. He was 83.Been a while since we saw any of our nursing heros on the thread, here are a couple of paramedics to keep us going in the meantime. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start, I can’t find my pass. It got put away back in March and I haven’t seen it since. I’m actually on annual leave now until the 7th July so I’m half expecting to find out about them when I’m likely to be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
