  1. Virus has gone then has it OR ? On one side I have a PA to a Surgeon in Royal Devon and Exeter who says we must stay a while longer or risk a major second spike and down the road a friend is a Nurse in a Nursing Home and also Wells Hospital and had her 23rd person die on her yesterday !!!
  2. They wont be... having parties on the site I live on. But of course being British with highest death toll, we are all immune. I just dont believe our citizens some times. They Bl**dy baffle me
  3. Exactly my feelings AR. Being talking to friends on social media and the one thing to come out of it is the ridiculous amounts of money one man gets for playing a game with a ball for 90 minutes. There will be unemployment and possibly a world recession when this is over so can you honestly pay a footballer £350.000 a week when others will be surviving on a pittance. I am one of those who have had no real interest in PL, Bundesliga etc as Bristol City have been my reason for watching football and even when I see how much some of our players are on , it makes the whole game seem surreal. Of course I want them to play in the Prem but at any cost ??
  4. Totally agree. It is being put on the back burner at present but when this is all over, they should be come down on with harshness that will ensure this NEVER happens again. I don't mind admitting that nearly every day, I shed a tear about the waste of human life that is going on at the moment that has been started by the way one country has just ( in our opinion) flouted health rules and started this pandemic. As you say this isn't the first time but we must as a world ensure it is the last.
  5. Just had this from an ex military colleague of mine: I'll tell you a tale, that's been recently written, Of a powerful army, so Great it saved Britain, They didn't have bombs and they didn't have planes, They fought with their hearts and they fought with their brains, They didn't have bullets, armed just with a mask, We sent them to war, with one simple task, To show us the way, to lead and inspire us, To protect us from harm and fight off the virus, It couldn't be stopped by our bullet proof vests, An invisible enemy, invaded our chests, So we called on our weapon, our soldiers in Blue, "All Doctors, All Nurses, Your Country needs you" We clapped on our streets, hearts bursting with pride, As they went off to war, while we stayed inside, They struggled at first, as they searched for supplies, But they stared down the virus, in the whites of its eyes, They leaped from the trenches and didn't think twice, Some never came back, the ultimate price, So tired, so weary, yet still they fought on, As the virus was beaten and the battle was won, The many of us, owe so much, to so few, The brave and the bold, our heroes in Blue, So let's line the streets and remember our debt We love you, our heroes, Lest we forget
  6. I see these tweets and continue to hope they are fake, and then consider the number of c>nts out there. Probably more than we get for an average Home match
  7. What pub did you run, I was a publican for 10 years and the bloke is a tw*t, dont accuse me of calling pot and kettle, you come across as an aggressive poster who always wants his own way
  8. Sorry your lordship, forelock tugging you are obviously getting stir crazy already pal, try and calm down if yo u dont like others opinions
  9. What hope have we got ? or are they all macho men the virus wouldn't touch !!!!!!! these people are putting yours and my families life at risk, see references to Germany's figures and I bet this wont be happening there
  10. What the hell is that got to do with the Brexit Vote, he is ****ng his staff about, the same staff that make him money,
  11. Just saw on the lunch news how Stevenage FC are helping in the community. Hats off to them.
  12. Could not agree more. I was a publican for 10 years and hated this chain and don't have any time for their owner. This is a National Emergency and treating the people who work for you like this is despicable and shows him in his true colours. Needs people to be strong after this is over and support their local ( if they are still open) but be assured as a Barrister he will creep and slither around trying to get his customers back.
  13. Rob, you are obviously a marketing man, will look into it at a later date ?
  14. Just had confirmation that it isn't the young that won't heed advice. Although retired I have a business selling pre-owned Mobility Scooters. Just had an elderly customer on the phone with a problem with his. Wanted to bring it up to me to look at. Told him couldn't see him due to the new rules. He hasn't been watching the TV and got quite irate about it !! Said the Golf Club was open yesterday but as I told him, that was yesterday. Then said he must get it sorted as he wants to get out and about and play golf. Incredible
  15. All the best Dave I take a special needs 15 year old girl to Baytree School in Worle from Draycott. Last week her mother decided to keep her home as she has many underlying problems and we applauded that even though we would lose pay from Somerset CC. Baytree closed Wednesday and since the Government have now closed schools from yesterday, we will be paid while she is off, so the pressure on us financially has been lifted somewhat but if we didnt get paid I had the option of Pension Credits. People like yourself have massive respect from me because daily I see children who sadly are disabled and are vulnerable members of society. Since this problem started getting worse we have witnessed selfish people who should hang their heads in shame because their little worlds have to change for a while ( how upsetting !!) Best of luck mate and see you in 12 weeks at the other end, just as missus and I go to Corfu on hols ?
  16. Stick up a police cordon on the M5 just south of Clevedon......if they speak like Arfur Daley or have Arsenal/Tottenham/ Chelsea/ Millwall/Brentford etc furry dice hanging from rear view mirror, send em back ome. Spoken in jest Mr P as they will go into self iso and its only their butlers will be mingling with others down here.
  17. Just had one yesterday as well. told him I was self isolating...............phone went dead !!
  18. bp, same here, 48 years, 2 kids and 5 grandkids, They are VERY special
  19. Mustn't judge Reg but she seemed a bit toffee nosed with a double barrelled surname ( no offence to others who have DB surnames but are down to earth )
