I was just going to say. Let's not forget a certain high profile Scottish Government adviser either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just now, pozbaird said: Who said I got shirty? Do you think it is possible that, the way I spoke to the fish restaurant girl, and the way the entire conversation between us played out, was done in a manner whereby both of us were well aware of the absurd situation, and when I asked ‘couldn’t you get some sachets in’, it was done with a smile, accompanied by me waving my syringe towards the fish while three of us then went on to chat about other daft rules? Because, my concerned friend, that is how it played out. Thanks though, for knowing the context and nature of how it actually went. I like the syringe idea, hate these wee sachets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly have to laugh at this nonsense. The paucity of intelligence amongst our leaders and the general population is frightening. I'd love to know what is behind it. The difference being that wearing a mask in a nightclub would be a total pain in the arse, whereas wearing one to buy a pint of milk is no bother at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just surprised no-one (yet), has said something like ‘should have suited a Paisley junkie’. I’ll give it time. In all seriousness though, the conversations were perfectly amicable. For example, the bloke coming to unlock the ‘covid touchpoint’ doors , jokingly offered to scrub down the balcony itself with a bucket & mop, just about the only thing hotel management hadn’t told him to do that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having thousands upon thousands at mass gatherings now and packed nightclubs, bars and restaurants, but thinking a bit of cloth over your gub, plastic screens and one-way systems will keep a lid on an endemic, airborne virus.

Lyle Lanley Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 This is when the SG shouldn’t let the council’s making up the decisions on crowd capacity.

You probably have to be of a particular mindset to carry on with them. They are the complete opposite of self selecting. Yougov select people to question from their database which means they can predict who will give which answers. There are loads of anecdotes on social media of people who gave answers Na***** Zahawi probably wouldn't like and were never asked another question about the pandemic or politics in future calls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Celtic & Rangers granted capacity crowds as Aberdeen seek same permission - BBC Sport if other teams aren't given the same permission it'l be yet another farce in a long line a farces. if it's safe enough for 60k to travel from all over the country then it's safe enough for everycunt else 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
