My family are in Wales, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out

rickmoynihan08:10:01

It sucks. In Oldham we weren’t allowed to meet anyone outside your household for the past 3 months (bar the last 2 weeks) but now going back into Tier 3 again so :man-shrugging:

dharrigan08:10:32

I do think there is covid-fatigue starting to manifest

dharrigan08:10:52

(or rather, has already started)

rickmoynihan09:10:16

That’s an understatement… the pissing about with local rules and restrictions doesn’t do anyone anyone any favours either. They should’ve done a second full national lockdown ages ago, maybe for a month. Their current approach is just going to cause everyone lots of grief in the interim; and mean they’re going to need another national lockdown anyway. If you act sooner, your interventions can be much shorter.

rickmoynihan09:10:58

As it stands GM will go into T3; then come out just in time for a national lockdown.

alexlynham09:10:45

absolute bunch of morons

alexlynham09:10:13

it's what happens when you have a political class that are not only completely without vision or a programme for the long term but also the short term

alexlynham09:10:23

they only know how to be reactive opportunists

alexlynham09:10:47

and so when a real crisis comes along the idea of proactively making decisions and leading is a muscle they've never flexed and never used

alexlynham09:10:22

literally any of my pals who have done acute medicine heck any of my pals heck... pretty much anybody i know would do a better job at listening to a panel of experts and making a sensible decision than this parade of clowns

alexlynham09:10:40

i for one vote rick for pm

i'm sure there's a reality tv show in there @alex.lynham - with career politicians and pundits pitted against random people in the street

alexlynham09:10:53

....in a fight to the death?

alexlynham09:10:33

chris grayling would square up, then trip over and somehow strangle himself with his own shoelaces

alexlynham09:10:57

imagine being that incompetent lol

dharrigan09:10:16

He's my local mp

dharrigan09:10:20

I do not like the guy

dharrigan09:10:41

Not that I've ever met him, and I suppose it's wrong to form opinions of people whom one has never met

dharrigan09:10:48

but he does rub me up the wrong way

dharrigan09:10:06

Failing Grayling

alexlynham09:10:19

he reminds me of that insult that the drill sergeant uses in full metal jacket

alexlynham09:10:42

"tell me son, did your parents have any children that lived?"

dharrigan09:10:51

that's rough 😉

alexlynham09:10:51

but yeah, what an idiot

alexlynham09:10:05

you're a very patient, charitable man @dharrigan :D

alexlynham09:10:30

i spent my teens defacing signs cos i went to college in jeremy hunt's constituency, and had the misfortune of meeting him a couple of times. ironically put a question to david cameron on europe as well, in like 2009. my interaction with him ended 'cool, you'll get that over my dead body'

alexlynham09:10:44

and yet i appear to be still living even though he did get his way lol

alexlynham09:10:16

although on a lighter note i've been sessioning the short simpsons clips on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm6CzMdSu3zaGfjs9yTcUsQ

alexlynham09:10:27

would recommend for coffee breaks :D

Might want to check you're still alive @alex.lynham

Conor11:10:46

Every week, usually after going to get groceries, I get the sense I've already died and I'm in hell

danielneal12:10:31

that's known as the cotard delusion
