Dee Man Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Reading all these posts about people missing small talk and social interactions with workmates makes me realise how anti-social I must be. I can't think of anything better than being holed up for a couple of weeks/months away from people that I'm usually forced to spend time with. Either that or I've just never been lucky enough to be employed in a place where I think most folk are sound. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 We go to my parents house every Wednesday and Sunday with the kids and my sister takes along hers. We decided to stay away last night as the school my wife works at has had several kids sent away to self isolate. My old man is in his 70's with underlying health conditions. That's my sister just off the phone after telling me how we should still be going round to see him as it will be a shame if he has to self isolate blah blah. Told her I'd rather get some more years with him than put him at risk over the next few weeks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they shut I had a wee look around and it's interesting to see massive gaps in the alcohol and crisps/nuts aisles. It made me think that people on the whole are simply not getting how serious this situation is. They appear to be in party mode. They think this is a wee break from work - a bit like Christmas. People can spunk their money on whatever they want but I am wondering if they have realised that there is a very large likelihood that if this goes on for more than a few weeks there could be mass unemployment as businesses close down permanently. Spending tons of money on crates of beer and multipacks of crisps seems an odd thing to do. theyre anticipating being stuck indoors for a fair while and are looking to have some comforts,pretty normal behaviour tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I still have a coffee and that at the same time, but not walking to the coffee shop in work where I'd usually bump in to folk and chat about the football or that is fairly murder. Same for me. Lack of football in general is terrible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 16,000 from numerous countries attended and 500 covid cases in a number of different countries have now been traced to it. Great news is that 9,000 of these maniacs have now gathered for a similar event in Indonesia, including a bunch of Malaysians and people who have travelled from many other countries. The Malay Mail today has a quote from one of the attendees saying "We are more afraid of God". When people's brains work this way, what hope is there? We're not too afraid of God over here, after all. All Presbyterian and Methodist services are cancelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with two **** and a super annoying older guy. All three can be annoying and overwhelming. You still get a good laugh about other non football related topics though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, also a spring breaker by the sounds of things. Out five nights and a row and reckons that’s probably when she got it. So goodness knows how many other people will have been similarly infected. Then you can’t even guess how many they go into effect, especially those more vulnerable to its effects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
