My kid was sat beside me at the table the other day and said, absolutely out of nowhere having never mentioned anything like it before or having ever - as far as I’m aware - having heard anything like it from me or my wife, that he’d like to buy a pottery wheel and some clay and make something. Wife picked up her phone five minutes later - guess what she got ads for on Facebook? Creepy as f**k. Buy it, then recreate the scene from ghost when the weans in bed/away. No need to thank me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Care home visits, and apparent confidence that the UK is sitting on a surplus of vaccines that can be given away....We just dont know enough about if and how they work though..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) It's going to be fucking annoying seeing Tory and SNP leaders circle wanking about bringing down infections when the same phenomena is happening in countries without restrictions or vaccines. They might as well proclaim they are putting the leaves back on the trees. Edited February 20, 2021 by Detournement 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Given what's contained in that tweet, one would imagine that the previously discussed Falkirk council insistence on splitting ASN school weeks up with a Wednesday "deep clean" is absolutely pissing in the wind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the end of the second wave. I agree there's a seasonal aspect to it but it's far more complicated than that. Too many places where it peaked in spring, autumn or even summer. Defo true about Spain. They've far fewer restrictions than us and cases are dropping like a stone. I'm coming to believe there's little point comparing restrictions across countries as there seems to be far more factors at play than the standard lockdown stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
