deegee Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Barbers opening next week in Wales, as are garden centres and some retail the week after. Going by the article, all shops to open in a few weeks in line with England’s date of 12th April. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-56363367 You would like to think when Nicola does her updated roadmap next week, she is better advised that the awful outline she delivered last month. Stop fantasising about unknown variants and start to “read the room” better and match great vaccine figures with a few grown-up things being reopened, since churches and schools appear to be fine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok 2 hours ago, Gaz said: I think you're missing the point of what I'm saying, but we'll agree to disagree. If you want. I didn't express it well but fine. You're talking about older kids. I'm talking about younger kids. Point is plenty of kids have had a shite time of it, and having more access to leisure stuff than we have doesn't really make that much difference to the ones I'm talking about. Just because we fondly remember our early teenage years and have worked with kids in this bracket - they're not all like that. I know plenty of PS age are in a shit place mentally, and I bow to your knowledge about current secondary kids, but exam candidates so seem to be having a mare considering what my old colleagues have been telling me. Tbh I was annoyed by the previous post and should have held off berfoe replying to yours and was unnecessary snarky. Apologies for that Edit: can't delete double quote Edited March 12, 2021 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 There is an article in The Times linking Scottish football grounds to high covid death rates. It's probably the worst article I have read over the last year, truly unbelievable shark jumping stuff. No mention of the time of deaths given no one has been to a football match in one whole year. My favourite but was linking St Mirren with its rural hinterlands of Langbank and Howwood. The correlation with poverty is only mentioned at the bottom of the article. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Did anyone on this thread ever apologise for being so wrong about the schools' roles in driving infection numbers?Yes. It was on the same page as the apology someone gave for declaring this over as a public health emergency in August. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Insinuating there is something negative and embarrassing about being a janitor, and using that to try and insult someone, isn’t a great look tbh.Ha ha. In the context of VT the failed teacher / janitor insinuation has been used for yonks on here due to his anti kids / school / teacher stance over the period. Surprised you have never seen the reference made before. All about context. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Aye I know, but the tone and wording of Billy Jean King’s post seemed to insinuate that tending to boilers was a menial, low paid job. I was merely pointing out that it is neither and was a crap example of a job to use if he’s trying to demean him.Nope it was as stated ie a reference (used frequently in the past on here) to the source of his anti everything teaching related stance on here. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only it linking 2 grounds to deaths, it's almost certainly bullshit but maybe Ibrox and Celtic Park should be shut for 100 years just to be in the safe side? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankReynolds Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 That’s my daughter (33) and son who recently turned 30 both been offered their vaccine and booked in for next week. My sons partner who’s 25 also got offered it but she refused it as she’s pregnant. All have no health conditions and are a reasonable healthy. They all stay in Dumfries where quite a number of healthy 20/30 year olds are now being offered the vaccine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That appears to assume that most Rangers fans stayed in the local area, and likewise that most Celtic fans stay in the local area. Which anyone who knows anything about Scottish football would tell you isn't the case. The point about St Mirren and Langbank is laughable too. Stirling has the highest rates of infection in the country at the moment, so I can only assume that the Binos are to blame for that one. Just because a town close to a football stadium has high rates doesn't make there a link. Bizarre stuff. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 If Rangers vs Leverkusen caused so many cases amongst home fans, then we would have also seen huge spikes in staunch strongholds such as Portadown and Forres. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most annoying thing about that article is it almost certainly wasn't a good idea for that Leverkusen match to go ahead with a capacity crowd and it would have been useful to see some proper impact analysis on that. But making up tenuous links to infection rates is just daft, scaremongering nonsense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
