Anecdotally it seems like nearly everyone who’d previously managed to avoid it had caught it recently. t this point I’m expecting Gloom and Gemmill to succumb soon or turn up as characters in a Richard Matheson novel

 

Unbelievably, I still haven't had it. I'm just back from a week in Paris too - the Louvre and Pompidou were covid soup.

[Rayvin 5223]

It's now all over my family, some of whom I saw at the weekend - so I'm expecting the worst now. Allergies have been acting up since yesterday but maybe it's not allergies..

 

Damn pain this thing.

If we had to put a bet on which member had allergies you were definitely co-favourite along with Renton and Craig.

Started in my mid-20s. Some sort of dust allergy. It gets really bad if I don't medicate it to the point where I can't sleep, but other than that they don't really show up day to day. I think I fucked my nose with paper dust working in a print workshop.

Scans with how every other kid was ruining their nose in their 20s.

Oh aye. “paper dust”.

 

 

That’s what I call it too

It was that and the herbal cigarettes

Wait, what? I am allegic to fucking everything as it happens.

Well, tested positive after starting with a sore throat last night.

Fortunately early enough in the isolation week from Mrs A having it that I'll probably be right by the time we could go out anyway.

[NJS 4386]

I tested positive again today (first positive last Thursday) so another 6 days isolation I think unless I test negative - probably will wait to Saturday to do another one. 

 

Still just brain fog/tiredness in the main.

1 - Thick and unable to apply critical thinking or consider the evidence of any given situation. Easier to just think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy 

 

2 - The need to feel different/special vs everyone else. Ie: "I drink Malibu rather than beer." He thinks he's a free thinker and has seen behind the curtain whereas everyone else is a sheeple.

 

You can add in Right Said Fred et al into the same bracket.

 

It's sad really. He had a good job with Sky and was a club legend at Southampton and he's chucking it all away on some misguided one man crusade against the world 

[Christmas Tree 4725]

This thread getting bumped now sets off the same panic as the Gaza one.

Same with Asprilla. He was making a decent living doing the jingles on radio ads for Sadie the Bra Lady and Mr Rahman’s Zips until he disappeared down the rabbit hole

"Only 99p ladies and gentlemen."

"Near the motorbike shops"

 

Absolute genius advertising. 30 to 40 years later, thousands of people still remember it. 

[Monkeys Fist 42459]

The original is still an absolute banger

Are you blaming the Jews?

 

Reported.

[The Fish 10858]

Used to live with a Jewish lass who worked at 'Gentleman's club'. We called her the Gaza Stripper.

Regardless of the pleasure of just being able to just sit there and look at Turner for four minutes or so, am not sure about her latest career move, although she’s right about the bill that will clamp down on the right to protest….
