Thanks mate, got my head back together now after my little breakdown.

Great news mate. You stay strong, there’s better times ahead !

i knew one of them, she hung herself.
Not even sure it was about having nothing as she was not working (i think she had a UK pension). In her case i think it was the isolation as i think she lived by herself (i heard all 5 did).
One worked in a restaurant and slit his throat don't know about the others.
The mental side is not just money for some, it's 6-7 weeks without speaking to or even seeing anyone and getting no info about when it will end. It's only yesterday that we have been allowed to leave our (in most cases out here, tiny apartments).

I live by myself but have spent most of the time at work. My job is keeping our plant running so work by myself most of the time. But at least I get to go out most days and talk to wife and kids every day. And we are allowed out. That makes a massive difference.

Really sorry to hear this mate. I was pissed off that my Tenerife holiday had been cancelled. Everything that's happened since, has made me realise that I'm fucking lucky, and it could be far worse.
All the best to you Pipkin.

Thanks mate, i'm ok thanks. Had my little breakdown but still here

You know that isn't what he meant. Dom talks some bollocks and his love in with Johnson is fucking cringeworthy. But he obviously doesn't think it's good people are dying.

He probably should have avoided the words good news then. Improving picture wouldn’t have been crass for instance. While people are dying needlessly the phrase good news is a very poor choice of words especially when used in the context of trying belittle the well deserved criticism of our failing government.

Yes mate, i am hoping that now they have let us out for an hour a day that it will help people. Take care.

43 mins and i can go out, counting them down lol

Dom is.

What the fuck are you about about, I said it’s good news cases are going down.... are you thick?

Encouraging, good news, improving picture they all mean the same fucking thing when it comes to the numbers falling significantly

How isn’t saying Yippee and implying he was pleased 300 died the epitome of crass you idiot

It was a gallows humour response to a crass statement. You said that’s OK. Maybe I should agree with you more often and pretend I’m better than everyone else so I can promote children drowning at sea and you not to consider it crass.

Fucking hell mate, you aren't thick. You knew what he meant. You were just trying to be a smart arse.
Can't believe I've dipped myself into this hellhole of a thread again.

Dark humour. Making a joke out of something that normally isn't laughed about.

Depends on the context Dom. You were deliberately using the phrase good news to dilute the well earned criticism of the government as if the criticism wasn’t warranted. It’s you that deliberately put it together in a post to have a go at people who criticise the government. If you had have just said good news that the numbers have dropped again I probably wouldn’t have even battered an eyelid. I’ve even given you a like in the past when you’ve done just that. It’s the fact that you’ve chosen to politicise it that makes it crass. I’m not the only one who’s pointed it out either.

It’s something Boris and his disciples are allowed to do apparently but no one else.

You allowed to go far? Suppose just a walk will be great.

My wife will be able to go as far as 100km next week. And she will be able to take the kids with her. They have been nowhere since the second week of March. And won't be going to school until September. Wife says the school places should be for those whose parents are working. At least the weather is good most of the time.

Operation last gasp for example when discussing how to overcome the ventilator shortage caused by yourself.

So what 80k plus tests isn’t better than the 20 odd they were doing the other week? (Which I criticised them for) It is better than the low numbers we were doing the other week so I don’t get why people would moan massively about the testing, they keep saying we have the capacity too for lots more...... and don’t you agree then that it’s encouraging the cases are going down? I don’t see the difference in saying it’s good news or positive or encouraging when it comes to cases dropping? Don’t they all mean the same fucking thing

 

[Grendel]

He’s trying to work his way out. All Tony wants is likes on here and his jolly jape backfired he’s backtracking and referencing something that was said on here regarding “operation last gasp” although the expression was actually referenced by FP who had no issue with it. He’s flailing and flapping as people aren’t liking his posts - he actually has no real opinions he’s a sad man who plays to the gallery

He got the mood wrong and the gallery are bunging rotten tomatoes at him

I km as the crow flies so covers most of my little village. It feels like a massive whole new world now though and the weather has picked up with temps staring to hit the 30's
WOW, your Mrs must be over the moon with 100 km worth of space to go to. Hope she and the kids enjoy it.

 

[The coventrian]

Come on. It’s not like I called for children to be drowned like your new best racist mate.

Show me a post where I said that you utter c**t.
You're a fucking disgrace for a human being. Show some respect ffs. And you can wind your neck in with the bullshit racist mud slinging as well. 99% of people can see its bollocks.

Will be able to pick me up from the airport when I am allowed to visit again. But otherwise they won't go far. They are planning a veggie BBQ with friends. It will be a lad that calls me dad....I call him son and his mother. Look after him when I am there. I am his father figure. They will be keeping to social distancing.

How can failing to meet your own targets be a positive? Of course it’s encouraging that numbers have gone down but in the big scheme of things it’s still a complete fuck up so good news it isn’t. Put it into context Dom for five minutes. We had a two week head start on Italy, if the government did their job we wouldn’t be about to pass their death toll with weeks to spare.

I never mentioned you by name so clearly you did say it otherwise you wouldn’t have known I was talking about you.

Dont play games. Its fucking obvious your talking about me. Its pathetic. Get some new material as its boring as fuck.

The thought of him saying that to your face is genuinely hilarious

Yeah the the lack of PPE has been completely unacceptable as has the early small testing numbers!!!!! I’ve criticised the government so I dunno what you’re trying to get at, this has been a shit show and I there will be an enquiry once this is over but it’s good news the numbers are falling and encouraging were flattening the curve and expanding testing with a capacity of over 100k

 

[pipkin73]

Well at least my gallery isn’t racists who would celebrate children dying. Not you Dom before you start. I do think more of you than that.

What's that got to do with me!!

 

[skybluetony176]

On what basis? You think racist are beyond questioning?

 

[Grendel]

I think Tony has had a glass of shandy ignore the buffoon

Anyone who genuinely knew me would laugh their bollocks off at some of the mud I get slung my way on here. Its absolutely crazy. People like tony probably look forward to the daily death rates being announced as it gives them another excuse for another anti tory wankathon.

 

[pipkin73]

lmfao, must have done. I've stayed well clear of that convo.
