BS2 Red

Yeah when it was good it was amazing, when it was bad it was really stinky.

Fixed that for you.

Some people are just unbelievably scummy.

You won’t be able to afford food, but he won’t be able to afford his Bentley and will have to make do with his Range Rover and Aston Martin. Swings and roundabouts.

One of the partners at my wife’s work has been getting worried about the financial implications of the virus. He said today that he might have to get rid of his Bentley if things get too bad. And he wasn’t joking, he genuinely expected sympathy. Eat the rich.

There are also loads of sport documentaries on Amazon. Netflix is a bit light on sport, but Sunderland ‘till I Die is worth a watch. Just skip the part where we play them....

It’s a great show. I was watching it thinking “this is a bit far fetched” but the most ridiculous stuff was actually true. Escobar‘s antics and the money he was making was utterly crazy.

2 weeks ago I had a stomach bug, I offered to work from home so as not to infect anybody else, but was told no as I’d have to give a weeks notice. I therefore went in and a few people had the shits a couple of days later. Now they want me to work from home this week. Half of us WFH this week, the other half next week. Just out of spite and pettiness I’m tempted to go in this week and tell them they need to give me more notice.

They have removed the paywall now. That’s good but it’s crazy that the Telegraph/Hancock didn’t realise that in the first place.

The Health Secretary setting out the government plans, but they’ve put it behind a paywall. ?

It obviously isn’t good for the players, but summer football sounds great to me. Just wearing a t-shirt to Tuesday night games? Beers/ciders in a beer garden before/after the game? Not having to walk home in the dark freezing to death? The players always say they want a winter break…..

You do realise some people were born after 1990, right.... ?

At least we'll make it through March unbeaten.

It was. Although a general “I wish you were dead!” is a lot different to “there’s a disease that will kill the elderly and that’ll help my investment portfolio”.

This. COVID-19 means COronaVIrus Disease 2019. Coronavirus itself isn't a single disease, it's a name for a collection of diseases - kind of like how we say we have a cold, but there are lots of different viruses that cause colds.

What a monstrous paper the Telegraph is.

Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8090403/Travelers-flying-Italy-face-NO-screenings-land.html Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/08/coronavirus-foreign-office-advice-over-italy-confuses-british-holidaymakers

Clever little shits. ?

They also have no idea how to make parody songs. They base their opinions to the philosophy of Craig David’s 7 days. They all want him sacked on Monday He’s taking them to Europe on Tuesday they’ve hung the Johnson out bedsheets on Wednesday And on Thursday Friday and Saturday But he’s a legend again on Sunday. Embarrassing.

I know somebody who was on the same flight. A bloke my wife works with received a phone call yesterday to say there was somebody with coronavirus on the plane. My wife is now terrified, but I have been trying to tell her that it’s unlikely her workmate has caught it and unlikely again that she has caught it from him.

What about the 500,000 people in BS7 the week after?

The risk to the elderly and people with underlying conditions is what has made me stop thinking it is overhyped nonsense. I was talking with my uncle and my grandmother on Monday and he was joking with her that she’d be the first one to go. It was all lighthearted but made me realise that although I will probably be fine, my older relatives may not be. I don’t have many elderly relatives left, so this disease is worrying.

Yeah a lot of it will come down to individual attitudes. People just assume that WFH means a person is dossing around, but the few times that I have done it I have found I have done far more work as there are less people distracting me. Plus I am more paranoid that people will be thinking I am on a jolly. What gets me with my workplace is that they keep talking about their flexible working and the benefits of working from home. And then when it comes down to it, they place restrictions on who can and can’t do it. It’s crazy that it is ok to work from home because of a fear of bad traffic, but it is not ok to work from home if somebody has an illness they don’t want to pass on.
