Off Topic Covid 19 restrictions have done one

I'm glad you still have your sense of humour intact BT...

 

Or rectally...

 

Of course it's hard but due to what has happened in the past things have toughened / prepared me for what will inevitably happen to all of us. She made it to 87 and in her time did and saw things to make her happy. Having already buried one of her children it's good that she didn't see another go that way which has been a real possibility.

What is hard are the restrictions Covid has and is causing, not seen them since February, I got locked down in another country and when there was a chance to come back didn't take it as I didn't want to put them in more danger of the virus. Coming back now is a challenge. The problems now are the funeral arrangements and she had some explicit wishes for how it was to be done, not sure if, when and how that will happen. Next is my dad who will now have to go into a care home, no way can he manage alone. Once he gets in there there will only one way out and more than likely no visitors.

May not be as toughened as I thought I was.

 

Not a bad idea using pubs to roll out the vaccine. They’re closed anyway, have masses of fridges and tend to be openly spaced.

 

Brilliant

 

Very very media savvy the brew dog lot

 

My thoughts exactly. Spread that on Facebook that if they stick their smartphone up their own arse, they are protected from Covid-19.

 

Of course, whilst you are in the pub waiting to be inoculated, you can buy a pint.

 

That'd play havoc with your ringtone.

 

What do you know about the tone of Ron's ring?
... on second thoughts, we don't want to know.

 

The league season has to be extended in the wake of increased Covid-19 cases, says Accrington manager John Coleman.

The League One club has had six games postponed because of the virus and played just 16 - three fewer than more than half the sides in the division.


"Football needs a reality check," he said on BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast.

"You have to factor in games also get called off because of the weather. If you add a few in the only logical conclusion is to extend the season."

When asked if there should be a break in the season, he said "if we have to, yes", adding: "We've got to take it a day at a time and try to get this right. There was testing every week for the first two or three weeks. Then it was put to bed really."

Its only a little prick...bit like Ehab

 

You've got to admire everybody staying at home for New Years Eve. There's at least 30 people at my neighbour's home right now. That's dedication is that.

 

I bet you're wishing you'd lent them the garden shears when they asked now.

 

Have you rang the police?

 

I genuinely offered them use of my garden tools and gave them a tomato plant. That may entitle me to a free drink later on.

 

A non-league English football team is holding a raffle to recoup some of the £100,000 they stand to lose as their match with Tottenham Hotspur is now having to be played behind closed doors.

Marine FC play Jose Mourinho's Premier League team in the third round of the FA Cup on 10 January, but fans will be barred from the Merseyside stadium due to coronavirus restrictions.

Liverpool's new tier three status means there will now be no crowd inside the 3,185-capacity stadium, costing the eighth-tier club not only gate receipts, but also about £70,000 in sponsorship deals.

Marine's chief executive officer James Leary said it was necessary but "galling".

The part-timers have instead launched a virtual £10 match ticket raffle - the top prize is the chance to replace the manager in the dugout for a pre-season friendly - which could raise about £30,000.

 

I have not. I'm fairly sure they're growing weed and I wouldn't want to get them in trouble.

 

Cases have decreased again.
