Bairnardo Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I feel like shite and have done since Sunday. However, I did a PCR and ut was negative so I wont be doing any further testing. Its a good solid, old style cold I have though. Hitting me in all the right places. Cold>Omicron>>>>>Delta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Is this the public sector?Today's was a fair old mix, some Public some private sector but no idea why that makes an iota of difference.

jamamafegan Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I was in the boozers last night. No social distancing, mask wearing largely thrown out the window, multiple pints of T consumed, got absolutely fucking steaming. It was fucking great. And I’m doing it all again tonight. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I’ll be on here at one minute past midnight, checking if Christmas has been saved or not. Wee glass of Advocaat & Lemonade to hand. Excited about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Anyone else find that the private PCR tests are far more thorough/invasive than the NHS tests? Just had one done through Randox in town and the guy who did it was really scraping around back there. I've had to do a few PCR tests and lateral flows and they were nowhere near as unpleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there was a guy offering private Covid tests down one of the roads off Leith Walk so I gave it a try. It was really invasive and I honestly don’t know why it was so important for him to do the throat swab with his penis. He obviously wanted to do a good job as he insisted on filming it, I assume to watch back for performance review. I’ve been waiting a whole day for his text as well. Still, better safe than sorry for Christmas eh. Edited December 24, 2021 by ICTChris 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 How stupid must you be to get played by Boris Johnson? I'd question if the man can tie his own shoelaces.No-one is being played by Boris - the only reason he didn't follow suit is the 100+backbenchers who voted against his existing restrictions.I would think that Drakeford and Sturgeon are at the back of his thoughts when it comes to the decisions he makes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the NHS were supposed to have changed the throat swab thing quite recently. Supposedly it's now 15 seconds on each side of the throat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The in-laws texted at 5pm today asking everyone coming for Christmas to do an LFT Is it normal to expect people to have a stash of them sitting about the house? And this despite no mention of testing ever since this whole thing started. But 'cos Christmas'. Can't wait to get Covid finally consigned to the dustbin of history. People are absolutely fucking broken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 My in laws knew theres been a cold kicking about our house for the last week. They said of you do any sort of test and it comes back positive, dont tell us. Wer not cancelling Christmas. Tbh, im not sure id have allowed it to carry on, but I appreciate the sentiment from them and genuinely feel for some of the folk in the stories on this thread. Especially the debacle Dons1988 was being put through 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have really cared if we'd been given some notice. It's the announcing of this minor condition of entry the evening before which isn't exactly ideal. This kind of nonsense is leading to families falling out needlessly left right & centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
