  1. China is doing quite well with 3 deaths per million........ Will be interesting to see what happens within the next few weeks looking at germany, Italy france etc who have came out of lockdown.
  2. I don't think you can really compare one country to another as they aren't reporting covid deaths in the same manner. A lot of infections and deaths in the UK have been in care homes, 50% I think I read, not sure how that compares to Sweden.
  3. From what I can see it's fixed at 2.5% for the term. Can't see any mention of base rate interest either.
  4. Im guessing it will be small potatoes compared to the Branson's of the world who will suck 100's of millions/billions out of the pot. You know the likes, those ferreting their earnings into offshore accounts to save paying tax. If it helps keep us small folks afloat then go for it.
  5. No doubt they have, doesn't give people the right to be stupid. Expect the amount of infections to increase in a week or so judging by the local VE day celebrations going on. People are idiots, that's why the government and press treat them so. Did the weekly shopping, full of couples pottering about and to cut a long boring story short acting like pricks. At a guess it was a minimum of 50% of shoppers. If I was in charge I would tell Joe Public fck all.
  6. Brilliant. People don't have common sense. Look at what's already happening, people going out a lot more, loads more cars on the road than two weeks ago, people wondering around the shops as normal mostly in couples or with their teenager kids who could easily be left at home/in the car, all because they got a sniff of the exit strategy. God knows what it's going to be like next week.
  7. Anyone got any info on who is currently being infected, is it hospital staff, care workers, retirement home patients and staff etc or is it joe blogs and his wife who still go shopping twice a day, factory/warehouse workers who won't or can't distance from each other. There must be some info out there as there are still 4,000 plus cases a day which looks like it hads't changed much for the last weeks 4-5 weeks!
  8. That about sums it up, too many people only see black and white. I think ive been so lucky in my working career, I have never came across these super climber pre madonnas or phone textin, facebook posting whoares. Everyone I have worked with has just sort of cracked on, got the job done and had a laugh in between. There has been the odd lazyish but they have pulled their finger out when needed. Hmmm, that probably means its me who is the , Ahh well, bliss is ignorance.
  9. Sounds like you didn't feck off far enough away then. I wonder if there is any country you can live tax free apart from living in the rain forest etc? tbh I don't really mind paying taxes, you just have to understand that they won't always be spent the way we would like them to be. Thing that dies piss me off is the cnts that pay next to fck all on the billions they earn because they put the money through Ireland, Luxembourg, their mum's knicker draw etc, etc. Because they have power the governments of the world allow it. Hopefully now is the time to change that. Sounds like Jeff Bezos is doing very well out of covid19.
  10. No they won't. People are fckin stupid Anyway, im not living in a society where next door don't pay for their bin collection so the street is riddled with rats and next door but two is a smack head so her children have no education and hardly ever eat. I look after my own, pay my taxes and expect that they are spent correctly. If you didn't want to pay tax then fck off and live in a mud hut somewhere remote and use some foraged herbs when you don't feel well. Said In the nicest possible way of course so not to offend tarts.
  11. It's not a dig at you it's me questioning or commenting on your ideas i.e. the posts you make. There is no need to get upset, I might be wrong.
  12. Always loved this song, would be interesting if Billy did a current version
  13. Yes, you do need to and that is the difference. Earning a living/providing for your family comes first, self respect comes second. I think you have your priorities mixed up.
  14. Go and work on a farm then, day in day out for minimum wage then come back to me. For the rest of your working life, not just for a summer job
  15. It's nothing to do with WANT it's only about the money.
  16. I've worked on a farm, would I fck do it for minimum wage. Let's face it, it's a shit job, hard work, poor pay and short term. It's not rocket science to work out why not many british people would sign up for the job. If you lived in a country where there was no work, you recieved no benefits and lived off the bones on your arse then someone offered to fly you out and earn more in a week than most people earn in a month would you turn it down or would you work your arse off hoping they pick you next time?
  17. Can you please stock up on n95 masks, vitamin C and hydroxychloroquine
  18. Who is it as I really could do with a few arb bits and if I can buy a bag of pasta at the same time then bingo.
  19. Sometimes we forget how bad it's was in the olden days. This is not the worst ever Easter, says Jesus WWW.THEDAILYMASH.CO.UK JESUS has rejected claims that this is the worst ever Easter, stating that his original...
  20. Have your tried switching it off, then back on again?
  21. VID-20200324-WA0004.mp4
  22. Hmm, I reckon it was made from cheaply sourced beech planks....
  23. I like the sound of that one.

    Covid-19

    Apparently a lot of fake kits are being sold along with fake hand sanitizer. People spend a lot of money knowing they are buying a fake chainsaw, just imagine how many people will spend £30 on these kits.
