That’s great to see. I know it isn’t a meaningful number, but I can’t wait for the ICU number to drop before 100.

Is Trident all you ever think about?

you need to get out more.

How the fcuk can I get out more when we're in the middle of a pandemic?

Do you never think of Trident and the harm it could possibly do to your family?

Are you quite content for Trident to be based in Scottish waters.

Remember none of us were asked if we wanted it at Faslane but we've got it.

That's British democracy for you.

I did. And would again if that was what the next vote was for. But it isn't.

It's incredibly difficult to take you seriously though as, when you are not devoutly shovelling money into the coffers of a party who care so much about you that they delete your emails unread, you type like that.

pot and kettle springs tae mind

Whilst many people could improve their health by eating better and moving more, you can't confuse the simplicity of the solution (which itself can be hard to implement) with the complexity of the problem of how people end up obese.

Poverty, life skills, mental health issues and other medical problems can all contribute.  I doubt many people set out with a life goal of hitting the 30 stone mark.  

Equally, the body positivity campaigns, which are valuable for young people especially in teaching them you dont need to be an IG model to be considered attractive, seem to have crossed over into attempting to shut down any soft criticism of being overweight.  Whilst I dont believe shaming people into losing weight works, it surely doesnt do any good to sugar coat the consequences of obesity.

As I have said earlier in the thread, you would hope that the pandemic spurs more public health campaigns around healthy eating and exercise.  The glasgow club gyms already do a discounted membership for those on benefits  - why not make it completely free for them and their children.

Very good.

No. I'm fairly certain in the event of nuclear war Glasgow would be a target anyway.

Yes. It creates jobs.

Its close proximity to West Lothian will mean that it will make no difference...

I'm sorry to dig up a post from a few pages back, but this really got to me.

Losing out on a holiday doesn't bother me. I couldn't afford to go anywhere this year anyway, and I don't drink. So a pint isn't an issue. People need things to look forward to though, and at the moment it feels like there is nothing positive on the horizon.

I cannot stomach the restrictions in their current (or similar) forms continuing for a great deal longer. I've been able to visit my grandparents once inside since August. My Papa is going downhill with his memory and it's brutal having to talk to him through a window from the garden (which I technically shouldn't be doing anyway because he lives in a different local authority). My Granda lives on his own but was an active member of the bowling club and played 5s with his pals once a week - as well as using the pub to meet up with old work colleagues and so on. He hasn't been able to do that since Boxing Day and now spends six days a week on his own.

I don't have a massive social circle, but I've not seen any of my pals from football or who I went to Uni with (barring the guy who I co-comm for on SonsTV) for a year. 

My week consists of working, watching TV, going on a walk and sleeping. Every single day is the same - apart from the weekends when I'm not working, so just walk, watch TV and sleep. 

I didn't mind that at first, nor did I mind when my pay was cut for a few months, nor did I mind that I've lost out on overtime that used to make me a decent amount of extra money. But the idea of carrying on with this routine; week after week after week until at least Autumn fills me with a deep feeling of dread.

A few months ago my Granda phoned me to say he felt like he was "just existing, not living". That has stuck with me.

As soon as hospital numbers drop to more acceptable measures, restrictions should be loosened. As soon as everyone over 70 or with an underlying condition has received their second dose, restrictions should be loosened. And so on.

Apologies if your post was solely about international travel and I've just gone off on one here btw. Once I started typing I just couldn't stop!

This is exactly where my mindset and life is at currently and I’d assume for many thousands of others too. I’ve simply had enough of this fucking pish and struggling to see the justification for much of lockdown.

Had my vaccine and have my appointment for second jab. It's on the 30th April. 

Atmosphere was buzzing, just constant stream of people.

I received the Astrazeneca vaccine.

I wrote to John Swinney ten days ago about a particular issue COVID regulations were having on my sister’s business due to a misinterpretation by the council’s environmental health people. By the following Monday his office called me back having researched the query and found some potential solutions for us. First time I’ve ever written to a politician of any hue and I was surprised they’d got back to me that quickly.

Im glad your experience was different, ive written to Humza Yousef, Nicola Sturgeon and have never received a response. As much as I hated Swinson, she at least had the decency to reply to my correspondence when she was my MP even if it was a lot of crap she wrote.

I was at ALDI last night and there must have been five or six couples Pozbairding their way around like they didn't have a care in the world.

My trip to ASDA would suggest that taking as many members of your family as you can hanging around aisles and stopping to talk to everyone you recognise is the advice.  Genuinely seems to be treated like it’s a day out.

No, both are able to accept correspondence in relation to their government positions. The SNP have unfortunately for the time being refused to provide any assistance to my constituency since Derek Mckay refuses to do his job or resign meaning i have no option but to write directly to those two to express a concern or ask for assistance.
