Wouldn't even think twice about it. You're right. Of course young people are going to be doing stuff like that. And I'm sure they'll be made to feel very welcome in all areas of England.

England! 1 hour ago, oaksoft said: She just needs to say that the data is showing that they can now relax the rules a little, subject to change if things deteriorate. That would be perfectly acceptable. What she needs to do is start the process of finding someone to take over the leadership because she's been exposed as being every inch as incompetent as Boris. She needs to do this before she kills the SNP and the Independence movement with it. Her time is up and I suspect she probably already knows it. 7 months is such a long time in politics. There's nobody to replace Sturgeon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 No PCR tests available in the Edinburgh area (I looked earlier out of curiosity), and people having to travel from Newcastle to Hawick for testing. Fucking hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Is the tide turning? Feels like the media questions, events and decisions made over the next 2 weeks both in WM and Holyrood are going to have massive implications for 2022 as a whole.

My cousin tested positive today, he doesn't know when he'll get a pcr test now. Oh, and I took a test this morning, was being a bit selfish. Wife works cleaning In the schools, didn't want to put her at risk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments in the guardian have been consistently pro lockdown all the way through. I read one today though and people were arguing that this mild variant means we should be a bit less worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an arena filled with thousands, Are there any depths this lunacy won’t plumb? To be fair to them, there have been 3 players withdrawing due to positive tests (including 2 high profile names). With a £500,000 prize to the winner (and the associated impact on OoM / World Rankings) then you can't blame them for taking steps to try to look after themselves during the walk on, where you are in close proximity to the crowd. They weren't wearing them at the start of the tournament so i'd imagine a few of them are a touch spooked at the prospect of being forced to withdraw. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see now what you mean aye, guess the deaths right now aren't that interesting it'll be about a week from now where we will (hopefully) have the clear evidence all the mixing didn't make anything worse and we can get back to where we were a few weeks back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were talking about the nonsense covid stuff last night, like when you could be sat next to the entrance door of a bar or restaurant with a one way system and to keep you safe from the virus you had to walk through the whole place past everyone to leave When it's all gone it'll be v nice but they can keep doing the hand sanitizer stuff, I don't mind that at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im I'm work this week and there's f**k all to do so I was "entertaining" myself looking on Google and it was crazy how we were living free in September with things looking like they were going a bit wrong (cases about what they are now but much more death and quite a large jump from the month before) without even a hint of back to this, which given where we are looking backwards feels surprising albeit the right hing to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
