Site Supporter Spider Posted January 16, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2021 The lockdown will do its job. All about the vaccines now. Surely end of March is the target for level 1 or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment plenty of beds filling up with younger folk, even if they don't die. Can't see any significant opening up quite so soon if there is a chance of it running rife in 40+ folk. Whitty intimated this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we need workers fit and ready to take up the rebuilding as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted January 16, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2021 We just need to get through these next few weeks for the NHS which is completely overwhelmed at the moment in some areas. It has never been as stretched as it is right now, that is scary if you were to fall ill with anything. Nurses and doctors as well as support staff like porters, cleaners, etc are absolutely worn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Definitely looks like we’ve peaked now. A few more weeks of lockdown and the vaccination programme increasing is all positive news. Spring/summer could be one of the best. The Ashes is looking more likely than ever now.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Australians are the dullest people on the planet, I'd hate to be surrounded by then when they're crowing about a victory. On the flip side, they certainly don't like it up 'em, so I'd love to be there if we give them a good hiding, I bet that's brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccines look like they're being pushed out at a great rate of knots as well, so there is finally a bit of light at the end of this very, very long tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some bizarre reason my ISP put a wank-filter on my connection over the festive period... It took about 48hrs for it to be removed. I discovered, during those dark hours and with an idea sparked unsurprisingly from here*, that if one went on a random twitter page, then used the 'search' facility for various porn stars, they'd often have viewable XXX material that the adult content filter didn't erm...filter. I still think Twitter is used solely by wankers though, in fact probably even more so... * The infamous 'Geoffrey' footage - and, no, I fucking didn't 😉, but that was where I learned that Twatter allows porn...
