It’s a month. Loads of kids play Xbox for six weeks every year at summer. A month indoors isn’t going to kill anyone.
Facebook wankers shaming people for being out. We all need to be sensible but people still need to go outside for physical and mental wellbeing.
People who commando roll out the way and huff and puff because you happen to be walking on the same path as them.
I’m trying to keep myself and my family safe but I also don’t want my kid growing up in fear. He needs to have a walk and a bike ride everyday and not sit on an iPad or in front of a tv 24/7. I’m really worried the effect of this isolation on kids.
Lidl in Binley is the worst for it all. People shopping there don’t give a flying fuck about social distancing and the like. It’s a hotbed for covid transmission. I’ve stopped my missus going there it’s that bad.Of course it is boring and after this I would like to think I would never take something like Maidenhead at home in the cup for granted, but I echo some points on here. When things go back to normal it is going to be weird. I'm very social but do question if they'll be a genuine struggle to integrate normally again.
The only thing that really pisses me off is people in the supermarket. I hate it when people are just in their own world and obviously blocking aisles etc. You would think at this time, with the only place you are allowed to be, that people might switch on a bit more. Apparently not.
There was a dude in Lidl today with all the gear on fiddling with the avocados. He put about the 5th one he touched into the basket. Typical fuck everyone else attitude. I bet he was hoarding toilet paper previously.
108Ive seen a lot of the opposite - people deciding to see how fast their clapped out banger can go on an empty dual carriageway
I'm the same with my matesProbably get shouted down... but fecking zoom gatherings with other couples or fecking quiz nights. NO feck off... I’m not sitting in front of a screen talking small talk shite. Find me sitting in the garden with my Heineken when you are done.
Had my mate face time me... I said what do you want you clown... why have you FaceTimed me for a chat...... never in our lives has he ever felt the need to.... all of a sudden he’s at is aswell!!!! Pfffffffffffffffffff sorry rant over. Not talking about families either
I've worked on my own (the rest of my company is based elsewhere) for 4 years now but because other people are having to do the same its now an issue. Makes me laugh when people start complaining the job is so much harder when they can't just shout across the office to someone to find out what they did the last time a problem occurred.The most irritating thing is all the webinars they are making us watch at work on 'being productive while working from home', or 'Mental health and social distancing' or 'getting the most from virtual meetings'.
I've been working from home for about 10 years, so why to I need all this trite information?
I agree. That is as long as they have a garden for a bit of fresh air.It’s a month. Loads of kids play Xbox for six weeks every year at summer. A month indoors isn’t going to kill anyone.
WhatsApp has been great. My youngest granddaughter is 1 today. Without it I would have missed her first steps. Have been able to watch her 4 year old brother starting to play with her. And use it to keep in full contact with wife and younger kids.I'm the same with my mateswe have a group chat on what's app but none of that video call nonsense.
I abstain from both by the way.The smell of burning meat from next door when we are trying to enjoy a few spliffs.
How do you mean "supposed to be furloughed", Chief? If you are furloughed, your employer is not entitled to ask you to do any work. At all. Sounds like they're trying to claim the government furlough money while still getting you to work for them. Tell them to stick it, or employ you!I've worked on my own (the rest of my company is based elsewhere) for 4 years now but because other people are having to do the same its now an issue.

And the constant meetings are ridiculous. I could go months at a time without having a meeting - would just get on with my job. Now, even though I'm supposed to be furloughed, there's multiple meetings a week.
I'm furloughed but have to attend meetings (via zoom not in person). When it was raised that if we're furloughed we shouldn't be in meetings the repose was 'we've spoken to a professional, they know more than you from googling'.How do you mean "supposed to be furloughed", Chief?

That's the problem innit, can't really argue if you want a job to go back to!But don't get into a fight with yours!
Whistleblow then to hmrc. Wankers are fleecing the countryThat's the problem innit, can't really argue if you want a job to go back to!
Thats a double edged sword. If HMRC do anything and stop paying them then you've whistleblown yourself out of a job!Whistleblow then to hmrc. Wankers are fleecing the country
If they’re still operating and getting employees involved in stuff then it seems that they’re playing the system.Thats a double edged sword. If HMRC do anything and stop paying them then you've whistleblown yourself out of a job!
They are, obviously. Always the problem though, how do you stand up to a dodgy employer?If they’re still operating and getting employees involved in stuff then it seems that they’re playing the system.
Sounds very dodgy. Is it a big company? It support?Thats a double edged sword. If HMRC do anything and stop paying them then you've whistleblown yourself out of a job!
Yeah I've heard nothing but Land of Hope and Glory, Jerusalem and the fucking national anthem all night from up the road. So I cranked up my Ministry of Sound 25th birthday live stream to drown that shit out. I'll celebrate my own way thanks!VE Day. Obviously not the day itself but we've had days of 'hope everyone is getting ready for a street party' on the local Facebook group followed by loads of idiots spending today ignoring social distancing to drink beer on each other drives.
Now the Facebook page is full off 'so proud' posts. Proud of what? You haven't fought in the war you've drunk a few beers. And of course people who didn't join in are now being called out.
In similar vein, people who appoint themselves as Master of Ceremonies!VE Day.
