Hoops Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 covid's in my house again. Wife and kids have all had it, some more then once. All catholic. I'm protestant, superficially, and have remained clear of it. So a positive work ethic and lack of guilt seems to be the way forward. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But had that deepness to it. Maybe it was the circumstances I met him in made him tone it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, are we talking about me or Paisley here? If it was me, I must have been really pissed that weekend, I didn't even know I'd ever been to NI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a story in Private Eye. A local reporter saw Paisley in an unexpected location, and asked him what business he had there. 'The Lord's business. Fuck off!' replied the man of God. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 NPM is reporting that the island's 'R number' (remember those?) has jumped from 1 last week to 4.67 this week. Lol. Anecdotally that makes sense as a lot of people I know have it. But they're just cracking on with life and the hospital doesn't seem to be being overrun like I believe was predicted by@rachomics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The highest R-rate in the UK isn't it? 12 months ago we'd have been locked-up good and tight with those numbers. Still early days on those numbers too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these lunatics on social media who still want to close the world down do my head in. We had the TT. It was fun. Now some of us have got Covid. So what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems some would rather risk cancer & tooth ache, absolutely ridiculous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is testing in the UK and that's why we look bad. I am totally baffled. Its the way it is now. Its endemic. We have to change the way we think. You don't test for Flu or colds and we get outbreaks of them. If we stop the silly obsession with doing LFT tests, you watch, that R number will then match the UK 👍 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
