Start running?

I was told, although can’t be arsed to verify, that the app sends out a notification if you have been ā€œcloseā€ to someone who has tested positive, but will remove that if you haven’t spent 15 minutes within 2 metres of them. Presumably it uses GPS and location data to establish this, but quite how it differentiates between people living in flats or sitting next to a party wall when the person with Covid next door is doing the same thing, i don’t know. Very difficult to get it right.

Our office staff are splitting time between working from home or office. Depends upon the tasks in hand and working arrangements at home. Naturally all site based operations have gone back to normal. Can’t dig a hole and fill it with facking concrete from your spare bedroom.

Trip to town today on public transport.
As mentioned all of Poland not already Red Zoned moves to Yellow status tomorrow.

Big change.
Everyone on the bus/trams had their masks on properly.
Walking the street about 50% KEPT their masks on. Of the wearers, a high %age were youngsters.

It’s like a shit got real switch got pressed.

Which was good to see tbh

I gave this new career thing a go but abandoned it in incredulity at the vague, disparate and random things it produced.

Just as well I’ve got absolutely no intention of changing my career path from ā€œretiredā€. :rofl::rofl:

I’m still trying to get my head around the suggestion that I could be a horse groomer. Beautiful creatures and all that, but dangerous at both ends I think.

As you say, utter madness. This is a damning indictment of the disgracefully inept shitshow. A pity it takes the New York Times to do it though, just imagine how this is being viewed around the world.

To be fair the article is being a bit disingenuous as Uni’s get their cash from student fees - but most, if not all Uni’s are providing all courses on-line and with teams tutorials, so there’s no need for them to really be in halls - just the freshers I guess.

YoungAdult#2 went back to Cardiff for year 2 so he could go in to do socially distanced lab work, but does most lectures and shit online.

Likewise YoungAdult#1 at Barts/QMU only goes in for labs.(conveniently now living at home :roll_eyes:)

I may have said before, but if I was applying for Uni now I’d consider doing a bank job.

Get away? Tuition fees sorted.

Get nicked? Free degree at HMP. Slightly bigger chance of bum rape. Similar conditions otherwise to UK Halls of Residence.

I reckon if you smeared yourself in your own shit first day in nick no-one would go near you :wink:

This is in halls, right?

I do not know. I had a very limited time in halls, around four months in total. I’d already lived on my own for a year before moving to Uni, so having my own place was old hat.

My actual flatmates were pretty sound. The mainstay was a Geordie nipper, but we could never seem to keep a third flatmate. They were always cool though. Drop out cool.

These are the halls.

They were alright in September, increasingly chilly by October. On November 5th 1994, we had the spectacle of the other block, also students, firing fucking rockets from their balconies at our flats.

We also had two third year wardens live just across the hall from us, both immature cunts, both over 6", both shit scared of me after I throttled one and threatened to kill the other if they ever fucking knocked my door and ran again :smiley:

University halls were not for me. By December, the missus and I had met and were going at it like bunnies. We both moved to Anfield in January 1995.
