Don’t be silly, they also have crap telly’s in pubs...trust me, when you retire you’ll have a great time

I am looking forward to going back to work once this all sods off.

If I make it to retirement age, I want to be sat at home watching crap telly all afternoon.

Babestation is pretty tame until about 10 so I wouldn't bother lol

If the bookies were open I’d be putting a bet on Easter Monday as the day we’re let of the leash (outdoors at least). There is no way Boris will be able to resist the “Britain rising from the dead” rhetoric

I’m an Expanded Tv man myself.
Huge Michelle Moist fan.
The Mrs just tuts when I sit there watching her.

I think it will be may before they allow pubs to open

Local hospitals here having to drive patients to the Nightingale hospital in Exeter as they are now full.

News reporting from the hospital as well. Christ, the fella who works in the morgue has some job. Spoke really well too.

Be like last summer, table service outdoors.

£800 fines for people attending house parties of 15 or more... Why 15?? Should be for any gatherings that break the rules.

Can just see some idiots reading the headline and thinking they're fine to have parties up to 14. Mind you, those type were probably doing it anyway.

Just heard that.

Like you, total face palm.

Unless I am mistaken, it is illegal, ish, to go into anyones house other than yours, or if shielding. Maybe they have lesser fines for the sub 15 ones, but either way, the message is nuts.

Some people must have big houses if 15 is the norm for a bit of a party like.

Would not be at all surprised going forwards this type enforcement and fine stays in place. And some sort of licence will be required for party of 15 and over... Just seems odd that I could invite 11 people round to make 14 which is deemed more acceptable...

Same with the regular old boys in my local, they`re all chomping at the bit to get out.

People are very quick to assume that all of the elderly are happy to sit at home all day, terrified, watching, Dickinsons Real Deal all day.

I didnt quite catch the full story earlier but i heard on the radio that the Israelies have said the Pfizer vaccine is only 33% effective? Is this a news story at the minute?

It is but it is not complete data. Hopefully, it is an anomaly or Dave will be doing wheelspins around his back garden!

Just to add a further bit of spice to the mix, I am not sure if this was discussed around the time.

2021 is a complete and total write off. Its going to be even worse than 2020.

Very depressing.

To be honest I think we need to write most of it off now and accept it, we made the mistake of taking to long to close and opening up too soon last year.
We wasted a year on this, really we are only just at the start of fighting the virus inthe UK
Festival season in 2021 cant happen, were not ready for it.
