Slow news day? The real deal? End of the world? 
 

They’re saying it probably came from an animal, has Somebody been shagging monkeys again? 

At least now we know what it's like to live in a leper colony

I'm being refused entry to a meeting in fucking Birmingham tomorrow based on the fact I live in Bolton.

I explained that I've had a jab, that I will take an LFT test and will bleach myself beforehand, but they have asked me to stay clear.

I'm off down Deane Road with a flamethrower attached to the roof of my car.

Dye your hair blonde, might help 😉

Or the ones who think a bus lane is a good place. All the way from Atherton to Bolton, the bus Lane runs 7.00 - 10.00 and 16.00 - 19.00 (may be 18.00 but either way, it’s written on the sign)

Being one of the few drivers using that stretch with the ability to read, I’m often the only car in the bus lane... and then you get to Daubhill where the signs change from Bus Lane to Extra Parking Lane.

It’s now law up here as of today that it’s illegal to travel from Scotland to Bolton 🤣. It’s fucking madness. But I can travel to bl8 and m26 but can’t go across the boundary into bl2/3/4. Fuck off just fuck off 

 

 

The lads that work here in Germany but live in the UK are stuffed now. We work 14 on/14 off. They can fly back here as they all have Apartments and Resident Permits but they would have to still quarantine for the full 14 days. No more exemptions for Key Workers with this Indian Variant. Even Germans flying in from the UK have to do the full 14 days with no exceptions. 

My doctors are not doing vaccinations next week, they do them Monday to Friday 8.30 till 4, so was hoping to sort one for during half term. 

Going to try and find an alternative now..

I think it's something to do with them thinking they reflect the flash off speed cameras so they can't get their Reg.

In my team meeting today, someone asked if my family were OK, like it was some sort of ebola village and I was planning an airlift.

The Guardian reports;

Telling Scots that the situation with the coronavirus variant first identified in India was likely to change quickly, the Scottish first minister announced travel restrictions to Bedford, Bolton and Blackburn with Darwen, which are currently subject to enhanced health protection measures. The travel ban is not a legal restriction.

Incorrect it’s a piece of legislation  but whether it is enforceable is another question  as Scotslaw clearly ends its jurisdiction once you cross over the border

In reality she knows it’s unenforceable. But it then provides another platform for her grievance politics

Same. Someone asked me what I did at the weekend. Said I’d been across to Bolton on Sunday to do an Aldi shop for my mum and take it to her. Gasps. “Is she OK?”.  “Are you OK?”. “Have you and her had tests?”

Fuck me. These are supposedly intelligent people as well

Aye, up in Northumberland, went local for some pints, asked where from, said Bolton (as i always do despite not currently living there), and straight away it was like "woah, stay clear" 

Clearly taking the piss 

But clearly the town now has a bad covid reputation

Perfectly understandable too.

This report last week was atrocious and wouldn't have helped, but the town's numbers do speak for themselves.

Likewise, unless the military have checkpoints up.

I’m off up to the Lakes next week 

They’ll need to build a wall really fucking fast to stop that happening.
