Only one of those may be true, but I thought it might be fun to post something that 48% of the poster population might like. Number 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 WTF?!? I understand the need to stay in as much as possible, I really do - but who are you to say whats not an essential purchase? Some people (especially those living in cramped flats with no Sky or whatever) might deem a computer game, a dvd, a puzzle book or jigsaw essential for their mental health.

Comrade 86 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Was hoping after a suitable quarantine period I'd be able to see the GF. Got a text last night and as it turns out she was admitted to hospital last night having contracted this ducking virus despite having spent the last 2 weeks + indoors. If I read another ducking post about how it's time to end lockdowns I think I might actually lose the plot. Just stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just incase anyone was in any doubt: From BBC News: NHS England has recorded 765 new deaths in hospital from coronavirus. It said that 140 of them occurred yesterday, while 568 took place between 1 April and 7 April. The remaining 57 deaths took place in March, including two on 19 March and one on 16 March. Fair to say most of the graphs being shown to the public around deaths at this point are worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a **** *** (him not you lol) .... Surely if there is anything thats deemed unnecessary then they should be telling supermarkets to stop stocking them. Some may say alcohol is unnecessary but others will say of course it is, like it not even if not alcoholics a lot of people depend on it to relax etc. You can't determine what is and isnt surely. I suppose if you came out with just car washing supplies you might say that was an unnecessary trip, but even if you did it should be the supermarket told not to sell.

Coneheadjohn Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I’m weary of it all at the minute. I fear the minority will spoil it,I’ve tried so hard to apply common sense to the rules I’ve been given to help people and more and more I’ve been having it thrown back at me from all angles. I am going to do something slightly different for a few days then hopefully common sense will prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your girlfriend has half the tenacity and strength of mind you display on here, and I guess she would have to ?, she will pull through this with the help of our great NHS. Hang tough, and keep us updated. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't touched a drink since I started a health kick at the beginning of the year - thats non essential to me. Nipping out to buy a few films/games is also non essential to me but I have a garden to relax in, Sky to watch movies on and Steam to download games from. I also don't have 3 kids under 10yo driving my crazy in a tiny flat that desperately need entertaining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd thinks it was a Saturday this morning, not a lockdown Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey B4 you are being negative again. Do you remember the times when you have had a ticket to a game when others couldn’t get one, and you tell them that they should become an away member, or go in the home end, etc. Really frustrating times, but your circumstances are no different to others, in fact I would suggest you are in many ways better off than a lot of others who post on here.
