What a surprise. Nail bars are getting off lightly this time. Could be a new hobby to take up so I can actually see and talk to people in real life as WFH means it's pretty miserable being stuck in the house all day with nothing to look forward to at the end of the week. Soul destroying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone from people in the streets to politicians and scientists. It strikes me there's more fear of this variant than there was when this all first hit last year. And it seems all of it is being driven by this one day on the 25th. Would we be seeing these levels of fear if it was June, January or October? Everyone losing their minds over what is essentially a roast dinner next Saturday! As said in here; vulnerable, elderly, unwell folk may be best advised to self- shield as that’s just normal common sense. Why the entire country is having fear and restrictions launched at us from all sides, makes neither any sense nor health/ societal benefit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Just got the e-mail saying the Del Amitri dates at the Barras’ next week are being postponed. Was looking forward to it too. Been a fan since ‘Waking Hours’ came out and have seen them many times. I’m just waiting now for news that Wolf Alice at the Barras’ in January will fall too. Not a lot I can do, and it really isn’t the end of the world. It’s just disappointing that after two years of this, there seems no end in sight. No normality on the horizon, I actually find it a bit depressing now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Over 1.6m tests processed in the last 24 hours. 2.5% of the entire population on a daily basis is fucking insane. Stop it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so tempted, but I shall resist. Normally, I would, but I’m actually not in the mood for gags at present. When does this end? When does normality return?

I'm trying very hard not to be like this too because hatred really does poison you and I typically don't tend to "hate" anyone. But I'm struggling to even look at her at the moment without being consumed by anger. This really isn't healthy. ^^^ Bitter Yoon IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they must count the tests differently If you take that figure it's 5.4% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
