Nope đ This might be the worst holiday since 2 weeks pishing down in Millport with Chico the clown .  I suspect she had to do an about turn on that after the Neanderthals running about George Square. Imagine these wanks with a day in the beer garden under their belt ? I think the pub beer gardens will remained closed until after 12th July. As tragic as that sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant control what they drink in their own garden or homes but you can prevent them getting access to pubs. The decision may have been in the balance and if so their actions have firmly tipped it to the side of caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Seems some pubs are open right now, Brel in Ashton lane was open and taking orders in it's Beer garden yesterday - I had a work colleague tell me he saw two hotels serving outside in the South side in the last few days as well. I've also have a "non-essential" shop near me that has been opening this week as well. Folk are just ignoring the Gov, both here and nationally - watch as the rules change to match whats actually happening on the ground as they won't be able to enforce it other wise. And here's Lewis Capaldi at the "Stag And Thistle" today - https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/lewis-capaldi-south-side-strathbungo-18446208 They are saying it's "takeaway" - but, I wonder what the cops say if you wander off down the road with your "takeaway" pint in your hand ?

Rolling  eyes usually means ârolling my eyes but with a smile on my faceâ. Rolling Hills on the other hand is ârolling my eyes without a smile on my face. đ      Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Maybe a stupid question, that's been covered before, but how come footballers allowed to play football, when they're not socially distancing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 9 hours ago, Ally Bongo said: BBC Newsnight going all out to get rid of the 2 metre distancing rule  I've always thought it was going to go by the end of the month. Unless i've misinterpreted it completely Gavin Williamson, the Education Sec, seemed to be saying last night that all students in all schools in England were going to be back full time every day in September. Nobody has picked him up on that as far as I know. Now unless there is a major investment in mobile classrooms that can only happen by having no physical distancing between students. I have a fairly small classroom where I can pack in 32 students. With 2m distancing I get 11 students, cut it to 1m distancing (leave as its rumoured 2m for teacher) and its up to 14 but the only way you can have everyone in is to have no physical distancing at all. I know that's children (though some of them will be 17 or 18) but that's what the implications are of what he said last night for education in England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably its because they're being rigorously and regularly tested for Covid but that is costly. Which is why the moneybags EPL can get back into action but why its a financial nightmare for smaller clubs that don't have the income from TV, sponsorship and have to rely on supporters coming through the gate.

exile Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Another possibly stupid question, whatever happened to the nightingale hospitals, and the louisa jordan and dragon heart one? It seems some are on standby and some never operated on any patients? We don't hear about them any more... or are they on standby for a second wave? Obviously it's a good thing if they were/are never needed. But maybe the thing I missed is why, if they were to provide extra capacity for COVID intensive care, they didn't put more actually in there and free up more capacity for the normal patients - routine operations, and frail people who were instead discharged to care homes? I mean it seems that there has been a lot of criticism of routine operations and treatments being cancelled, and criticism of people being sent out of hospitals into care homes... while the COVID hospital lie empty. Maybe I missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
