PWL Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 32 minutes ago, Michael W said: You always risk getting trapped in your own surroundings, but the (anecdotal) evidence and my own experience do not suggest that people have been brought back to their offices on anything approaching a wide scale. Reversing this guidance is probably a very marginal gain as it doesn't look like most employers are keen to have everyone back just yet. Think you are spot on. My train into Glasgow now has life about it but you'd still be lucky if there were a quarter of the passengers that there was pre covid. My own office has 140 spaces and we are allowed a quarter back in but I'd doubt if there have been as many as a dozen at any one time. The rest of building seems same. Glasgow city centre is busy but it's tourists and shoppers. Not office workers. My employer is making noises about people starting to come back but certainly no pressure and hybrid will be available. Don't think employers want to he seen to be forcing people just yet. Especially if there is a wide outbreak and they get blamed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People walking about in the fresh air during this toasty weather in them as well. Absolute oddballs. The main reason, of course? Maximum levels of sanctimony. 10 hours ago, craigkillie said: Nothing at Rugby Park last night, didn't even see any water being offered out. Kilmarnock that bad these days? 9 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: Same. Will hospitalisations and deaths increase in England in the short-term? Probably, yes. Is this a major problem? Not really. The world needs a real life test of the vaccines, and England are going to do just that. The shrieking from the likes of Aus and NZ is the sound of their experts panicking about the impact of their dreadful vaccine rollout being on full display. Yup. More of the world moving on, particularly the US and Europe, will be a sore one for them. Edited July 21, 2021 by Elixir 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him get off a Silversea cruise ship at Rio as we embarked a few years ago. A crew member told me he was constantly drunk and very disrespectful. He died a day or two later. Literally, a champagne socialist. You're the Forest Gump of PB right wingers. Always in the right place at the right time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like Rugby Park was a real life example of this last night when you compare this video from the Moffat Stand behind the goals to an image taken from the opposite stand. Rugby Park looks brilliant in the Sun. Good to see a good atmosphere in the clip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I think the stewards were advising them to do it but when my mate snapped me there must have been about 25 folk in the queue in front of him. Crazy to think 16 months ago the same folk were probably clatty b*****ds that never washed their hands after the toilet, but are now queuing for sanitiser 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I appreciate it meant the fans, but "The Boys are Back in Town" is an odd choice of music for a team that's just been relegated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 That’s my mate confirmed covid via PCR test. He didn’t mention to the contact tracers. Think I’ll just get a pcr for Friday and, if negative, go on my Merry way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Home Nations Daily update : UK Average 440.2 to 472.3 up 7.29%, England 473.5 to 510.9 up 7.90%, Wales 205.2 to 210.9 up 2.77%, Northern Ireland 294.1 to 337.7 up 14.82% Really kicking off in Northern Ireland where cases have risen 45% in 3 days. Midlothian number 1 in Scotland is number council 106 in the UK. The lowest rate of infection currently in any English council is in Dorset with a rate of 243.6 cases per 100K. That is only fractionally below the current Scottish average. Amazing the different trajectories between Scotland and the rest of the UK. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't start till October when hopefully it wouldn't matter, and if it did it would be quietly dropped. Ireland are already introducing it for getting inside pubs and restaurants though.
