Musketeer Gripweed Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 So, Green Day/Weezer tomorrow and Guns n' Roses on Thursday back on yet then? I remember back in February/March, those were the two things I was most worried about being cancelled. How fucking deluded was I? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Just reflecting on that news today. Swinney took the nation by surprise with that one. The SG certainly do a far better job at keeping thing under wraps than their counterparts down south (That said, they clearly leak stories out down there in order to guage reaction before actually carrying them out). Which takes me on to tomorrow where it seems we'll be getting some more lockdown restrictions removed. Any guesses as to what that may be?We wont be getting anything lifted tomorrow, it's future indicative dates for some measures to be lifted she is providing, a heads up so to speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambolic blended learning being planned into possibly October and beyond which was the case until a few hours ago... No. Absolutely not even close.

Wrecking everything else) Ive been able to go to the pub for almost three weeks now here in Belgium (the only country worse effected in Europe than U.K., maybe not anymore). I've been to visit other households for a month and a half now. Schools are open. And guess what no Second wave. Only thing I can't do is go clubbing or to gigs. And much of the shite that some people say claiming the British are uniquely irresponsible somehow, is just applicable here. Anyway I got my state supplied face mask a few days ago, which will be compulsory for public transport and supermarkets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I had a meeting on Zoom with colleagues a few weeks ago about purchasing 2 metre social distancing signage for our outlets when they reopen. I said at the time, ‘Hold off for now, it’ll be down to 1m soon enough. The virus is in retreat and the economic imperative is far too strong for the government not to default to the WHO guidelines in due course, and where WM goes the Scottish government will inevitably follow.’ Sure enough, the 2m signage that loads of pubs and restaurants (and shops) have already invested in can now go straight in the bin - a complete waste of money for those businesses that committed funds too quickly on the basis of quickly-outmoded guidelines in a rapidly-evolving situation. Within 5 mins of Boris standing up in the Commons today, I was getting spam emails from the same Covid-19 ‘industry specialists’ (that up until today tried to sell us 2m signage) advising that their new 1m social distancing-compliant stickers and signage was already in stock and ready to order, all at ‘highly competitive’ prices. Suffice to say no refunds offered on all the 2m crap that is going straight to landfill. It’s fair to say I’ll be almost as glad to see the back of the parasitic Covid-19 ‘health and safety’ industry, which has been on an even steeper exponential growth rate than the disease, as I’ll be glad to see the back of the virus itself. On the issue of football crowds, given recent developments, and having just watched John Swinney pirouette faster than Darcey Bussell on the whole ‘blended learning’ bollocks, it looks we’re now moving towards a more realistic view of risk assessment, even in Scotland. If things keep moving in the right direction, socially-distanced crowds in football stadiums won’t be very far away.

Shopping for essentials has always been legal. If you have a specific dietary requirement, and you can only get that from certain places, you're well within your rights to go there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it'd be really cool to see him playing some of the newer stuff they've put out with his own style, like Dark Necessities etc. so I'm hoping to get to see them next year at some point. If I can hit that sweet spot of a festival with GnR and the RHCP at it next year that'd be just lovely.

For the average male in Scotland aged 35 on the day lockdown began, by the time the schools go back they will have given up 1% of their expected remaining life expectancy to life under Covid-19 restrictions. It's perfectly reasonable for @Bairnardo to want to spend as much of his time, and time with his family, in the way which makes him happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been clear for a good few days where this was heading though. I've spent them advising colleagues not to bust a gut on such a silly model, because a full return was very much on the cards. I'm glad it's happening and I think the profession needs to be seen to be embracing it. A lot of this work won't necessarily be wasted effort, since they should now be better prepared if there are any problems with covid or any other pandemic in the future. Even in the best case scenarios there will be new cases here and there over the winter and individual schools may have to close temporarily, at which point these teaching models can be adopted. There's a lot of theory to suggest that blended learning can be a useful pedagogical technique anyway, so even if they never have to use it for this reason it may have given teachers an opportunity to reflect on their practice and to provide better quality education going forward.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
