One mate in the game is telling me they’re being revved up for July the 1st. I am just praying the gyms open soon, if not it won’t be Corona taking years off my life but physical health. It’ll shorten more lives than the disease soon enough. Bimbo, Splash the cash on a peloton bike, be like a butch...

Surely if that were the case all us Jocks would already be dead.

Lot of chat on pods that a global season is in the mix. Not sure how I feel about this, I assume there would be no AIs or Summer tours which would mean a hit in revenue.

Whats the feeling on this?

Disappointed Scott going. Any rumours there? Not overly fussed by the rest, already mentioned Barclay, South was decent in his limited time Down to money and the coaches having faith in Taylor and Dean, but this is info from Twitter so probably not that reliable. There's rumours Duncan Taylor is si...

I suppose I'd better make an effort to make a cabal after all of this.

Was looking forward to getting to Embras new stadium this year. Hopefully that gets going as soon as for a couple of reasons.

Not copied from anywhere guys - just a rational review of the data and some serious questions.Big words like transparent might scare you! Just wondered if youre reviewing your feedback in light of latest stats and emerging debate about failure of Gov to protect and address the care home and care se...

Straight away.

Knowing my luck though I'll be nights and have to deal with the fallout instead.

Condolences lads, gave them on the covid thread but thats white noise a lot of the time.

And cheers but I'm not doing much different to normal bar a few more phone calls for admissions and wearing masks a lot, I think the patients are appreciative of that

Currently aerosol and surface contamintation are the pathways. We've seen no evidence of aerosol transmission outside a CCU setting. Better tell that to the families of the couple of paramedics that have died. I'm specifically talking about aerosol transmission here and not respiratory droplets. We...

Its a suggestion it's not mandatory. Yeah, just found the document: We are recommending that you consider using face coverings in the limited circumstances described above as a precautionary measure Not very helpful really. I'll take a scarf and see what the deal is on ground zero (Sainsburys) I gu...

Because they're cvnts. They just want to shout and moan.

Not going to read all the material, but surely if you are coughing you aren't asymptomatic. Can't see how wearing a mask if you are asymptomatic can do anything other than have some positive effect preventing transmission. Even with symptoms it's better than nothing. Not something I'd have a proble...

Is that a serious question?

No he's trying to make idiotic posts to win an Internet argument.

Scotland have suggested that people wear masks in shops to prevent contracting CV. There's sweet FA evidence to support that view as far as I'm aware. None at all, especially preventing you catching it. Political decision, which is fine, I guess. What harm could it do, and can I be blamed if it doe...

depends how unwell.

I doubt that explains the figures.The reality is we have kept hospitals viable and not exceeding ICU and Acute bed capacity by keeping admissions down. Rightly or wrongly, and I accept there is an argument about not taking very elderly and ill old folk from their home when ill, the reality is that ...

22,351 deaths in England and Wales in week ending 17th April form ONS. 11,854 more than the 5 year rolling average for the same week. Highest weekly total since 1993, which is the earliest year they have comparable data for. Shit! What's disturbing is that it's a totally different trajectory to the...

Listening to the Thistle Pod on a run earlier and they mentioned a number of players not covering themselves in glory during the lockdown. I don't follow any of those mentioned, anyone else listened to it yet? Haven't listened to it yet, OJ, but a fellow expat fan messaged this morning asking if I'...

Well, my granny finally slipped away in her sleep this evening in the care home. Completely unrelated to C19, she was simply really old. 98. Jesus I wish I could just give my mum a big hug. Sorry to hear this mate. Identical to my gran, 98, in a care home, not Covid. My mum is still in bits at not ...

I see a lot of pubs in the UK tipping their kegs of beer down the drain. Used to be in NZ you could get flagons (the old half gallon jar) filled from the taps at the bar and taken home. In fact you could buy them by he crate, 5 in a crate, where they were filled and sold in the bottle store. Used t...

2000 calcutta cup this Friday. I don't remember that being an entertaining match.

The concept being on this thread and the actual practice are 2 separate things. Without any real evidence I'm not believing there was a cut off age especially of 40. This was from a doctor in Italy.

Hadn't seen it reported as low on here but apparently at the worst of it in Italy they weren't taking anyone above 40 into hospital. I'm assuming that's Lombardy as opposed to all of Italy. Didn't get the specific area the news was from. But yeah, it's an old person's disease. I seen that posted on...

had a couple of clockwork tangerines yesterday and I've got 48 lost lager sitting cooling. Brewdog were selling them for £48, decent deal.

Plenty of takeaways open here and all giving me discount, I've probably had more than usual. Got to help the local community an' aw that.
