It is almost certainly shite but a 11-15 year old could easily come out with that sort of patter if he’s overheard his parents banging on about it often enough during lockdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grown men going freeman of the land because the pubs nobody is going to anyway might shut for a week. I’m booked to go to Gleneagles for golf, drinking and fine dining so if hotels/restaurants are included in any circuit break my head will go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Grandad tested positive today, only symptom is a mild cough at the moment. Lost his wife a few weeks ago and will be a struggle to get him to self isolate due to his alzheimers. Fucking nightmare. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 There is now growing talk, hinted at by the FM last week, that there will be a one or two week lockdown at some point in October to try and stem the cases. Details obviously aren’t decided but it would involve all pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops closing, working from non enforced, strict social distancing enforcement etc.In the article I read, schools would stay open. While this may be questionable from a public health standpoint, in terms of terms of the development and progress of this thread and the heads gone, I’m all for it. Priorities.I thought the idea was to do it over school holidays? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghPar1975 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Certainly in terms of the type and content of the messages coming from the school i'm getting the impression that they are gearing up for a bit of time off. Learning grids for homework for my P3 kid was the main sign. Other than a bit of reading and some numbers he doesn't normally get homework so to have three grids with about 20 things on each and a comment of 'two or three things a week' till December makes me wonder. Looking over it its almost a timetable for work they would normally be doing in class time. Thankfully most folks round my way seem to be using common sense but you always get the rogue few that just know its a consipracy....ironically nearly all those folks i've seen are heavily smoking and overweight and would be prime candidates for serious treatment in ICU if the government managed to track them down! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Just watched a boxing match (Tony Yoka) from the weekend which took place in Paris (France). It had quite a few spectators at it. What are the French doing currently, because it certainly didnt look like and sort of lockdown. Are their cases still flying up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
