I walk down the local canal tow path a lot in these strange times, but seeing loads of plastic bags floating bye full of empty cans, i don't know what's fucking worse, folk chucking plastic dog shit bags in bushes or chavs lobbing a shed full of empty ale tins in the cut.

Just the opposite in Rossendale Valley by the river irwell, plenty of disinfected bin bags, people have been litter picking while out on exercise/dog walks. Never seen the place look as clean

1000s of people gathered in a protest in Michigan called Operation Gridlock blocking the hospital, preventing people getting in and out including ambulances, waving their Trump flags and confederate flags.

This is why America has the reputation of being a nation full of fuckin idiots.

The nurse on the news was called a ‘virus spreader’. 
When did the ITV news become some smug twat making comment on the news rather than reporting ? ‘Testing for case homes...at last’. Was one example. 

That's why I stopped watching ITV News about ten years ago. It's bloody awful. They even use background music to some of their stories - US style. It's wank.

An interesting, medical, take on the demand for more and more ventilators

Interesting, though I don't see that the demand for more ventilators is the reason why we "shutdown the British economy" as he seems to suggest

So May 7th is the new date being branded about for lockdown to continue 

When they make the announcement later doubt they will include any exit plans 

lets hope this weather continues

Correct, mate.

Had some lovely walks round here these past few weeks. It's absolutely beautiful up here in spring when the sun is shining. Seen loads of animals including deer, longhorns, alpacas as well as the usual, sheep, pigs, ducks etc.

I've just had an email from BA, telling me that my flight to Mexico is still OK for May 28th...........although further investigation shows the hotel is shut until 1st June (at the earliest)  -  so fuck knows what's going on there 😀

 

It'll obviously all be cancelled, but I've got to pay the balance of just over £4K next week apparently, and as the holiday is still showing as live, I guess I have to pay it, and then reclaim the money when they cancel it in 3 or 4 weeks time

Don’t forget to pay it by credit card.

I looked over and he said the usua "what you looking at" , i looked over because he was looking suspicious, probably trying to break into Nandos through the back door, escalated from there, i just through him a wanker sign and carried on with my dog walk. I probably prevented a robbery 😁

Haha, that was my next line S. Nevertheless I'm happy to line them up for you.

It's just a pity you didn't have a bag of dog shit in your possession. Could have missiled it across.

Pop up to Starmount car park.

Looked like someone had had a house clearance last time I was there!
