"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
It really hasn't dawned on some people how serious Coronavirus is, my sister-in-law (aged 30) went to one of her friends 30th birthday party last weekend as she tried palming the kids off on my mother-in-law. Her friends like her are a bit thick so they wouldn't have socially distanced, however my sister-in-law is probably high risk category as she is very overweight and of afro-carribean descent. Until someone close to here gets it and is near death she won't wake up, add to the fact my other sister-in-law (aged 41) has stage 4 oesophageal cancer and is shielding so we're isolating so my wife can visit her it shows how ignorant some people areIn Scooter we trustComment

As a rule I don't like offering unsolicited advice to adults, or receiving it, as it is patronising even if well intended. But whenever the opportunity arises I've assured him I won't be going out like that and emphatically explained why.
Also, he watches the news and reads newspapers avidly, so he can't be unaware of the likely result of him of catching the lurgie. So I can only assume he isn't that bothered if he catches it and pops off.Last edited by OwlHoot; 31 July 2020, 09:39.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

We should be acting seriously (now I blame the Government by the way, for nearly everything , since they went all Donald Trump in Feb, and reading the womble's 3rd Feb PM Speech on gov.uk) - because of the global impact spreading this on has.
Japan got it right, but never get mentioned for some reason.... They continue to get it right.Comment
