How long before the hysterics have us in full lockdown again? My money's on a week from now. :rubshands:

I've ordered 10 cases of ordinary claret in case the *******s introduce rationing.

Don't. I'm already despairing of my short break away in Ludlow I've booked for next month.

I do struggle with the logic of seeing a rise in infections that was merely postponed by the last lockdown and concluding that the best way to deal with it is with another lockdown that can only postpone another rise in infections.

Well you know my attitude to the whole thing. It's entirely down to the arrogance and egocentricity of the majority of the population. "Oh noooos I might die that would be so terrible! I'd best hide behind the sofa!" (Cf peoiple who are 'afraid of flying') It's just selfishness.

We are a nation of repellant, self-absorbed egomaniacs and I hate each and every one of us.

Whatever happened to living a dayt as a lion rather than years as a lamb, ffs?

Well medical science has created average life expectancies of 80-fúck+ and we haven't had a proper war in ages, so the concept of suffering an early death seems even more egregious and unfair to people now than it ever has before.
Stoicism is borne of hardship and we in the west have lived in a condition of ease for a long, long time. Put simply, you can't create a society that minimises risk to an unprecedented degree and then expect everyone to happily accept and embrace risk.

Well I do, as do loads of people I know. How come the hard of thinking get a pass?

Christmas would appear to be cancelled - we need a Grinch smiley

I still have 34 days holiday to take this year - not really much point though

Yeah, me too. I'll still take the time off. I desperately need a few days where I don't have to be welded to my phone.
