Is this the speedy covid tests which are bad or the PCR ones which should be good?
Unless you are not pedantic about everything in which case they won't be good either.
Back to lab and office today to see very few other people, ie you had each room to yourself. Being treated like lockdown one with splitting essential teams, disposable people are allowed in all the time to infect everyone though.

Is that any way to describe Melvazord? More honest than polite. |

I don't tell many people this but a Danish pastry is probably my favourite kind of pastry.
And yet ... I hear in Denmark it is almost completely unheard of ...

A cursory internet search says I might be wrong about this.
Might be getting it confused with the Belgian Bun.

Having been to Copenhagen I can confirm no one actually speaks Danish. Tell that to the chap on the counter in the Copenhagen supermarket, who daily tried to bamboozle me with the Danish language. |

Am I wrong or did Sayers the Bakers once have a much wider reach? I seem to remember Sayers outmatching Greggs, on any variable you could think of, with a real high street presence

I'm pretty sure there was a Sayers in Sutton Coldfield's Gracechurch Shopping Centre, but I worry it has been airbrushed from history ...

Doing a Kane.
"Sayers the Bakers is the largest independent retail baker in the North West of England, established in 1912 in Liverpool. The retailer sells savouries, sandwiches and bakery products across over 150 stores, from Fleetwood in Lancashire down to Wrexham in Wales. Sayers remained a family-run business until 1977, when it was sold to United Biscuits, and again to Warburtons in July 1990.[1]"

The same people clapping the carers are the ones who voted Conservative, allowing them to run down the social safety net of the country. One of the main pan wankers on my street is a woman who repeatedly broke quarantine to go cut pensioners hair. She'd have been better off staying home clapping than going out to the most vulnerable and potentially killing them. Hypocrisy. |

I just felt weird clapping for people who couldn't see me. The few times I did it were basically so our neighours wouldn't think I was a monster. One of them used to beat away proudly on his palm. It sounded like gunshots.

I never clapped, not through any great moral point, but I think the first few times were heartfelt.
Just because some of the people clapping were hypocritical shits shouldn't take away the message sent by those who believed it as a way of showing appreciation.

I know quite a few front line nhs staff who appreciated the gesture the first time round. The problem is it very quickly became a 'thing'. Politicians and celebrities and one-upmanship. I doubt I'll bother with it this time.

and on the flip side a lot of people instantly jumped on Facebook to froth about how angry they were that people were clapping.
"WHY ARE THEY CLAPPING?!? DON'T THEY KNOW I VOTED FOR CORBYN SO I'M BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE?! DON'T THEY KNOW THAT SOCIALISM IS BETTER THAN CLAPPING?!"

This.
My neighbour who also has consistently had family round - both daughter & child and less often son and children. Sometimes both children & grandchildren - when it stopped the last time said "they've taken away our clapping"

I'm not* a total monster. I too thought it was nice when it started - especially the videos of folk up really early as their NHS staff neighbour went to work - but was quickly hijacked by spivs and cunts.
*Of course I am.

I kind of object to group displays of emotion, especially where there's insidious pressure to confirm.
Also, the joke about giving nurses the clap is so shit that it's annoying to be constantly tempted to make it.

You are not Jesus and I claim my £5. <edit>or maybe you are, either way I still claim my £5. |
