📚 The Sotonians Lockdown & Beyond Diaries

[Polski_Filip]

OK that didn’t work

It said
As we approach “Holiday Time” just a quick update from a lovely walk around Krakow yesterday between the rain showers.
KRAKOW IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS! and YES - THERE ARE TOURISTS HERE!
Yesterday we met up with some small groups from France, Spain and remarkably, the UK! All taking advantage of the special flight and hotel deals to be found on-line at the moment.
We have Pubs & Bars that are opened, with regular disinfection protocols, we wear masks in Shops & Malls and as you can see, on the Buses, but do not need them outdoors!
Everyone has hand-sanitizer at their entrance.
And nobody needs to queue up for a table at one of the bars in the Main Square at the moment!
(And yes, of course the Doughnut shops are open! and yes I know, that is the best selfie of me ever taken - thanks)
So if you are coming soon - stay alert but this wonderful City is ready for you.
If you haven’t made summer plans and really don’t fancy a crowded beach? We’ll give you some ideas later this week.
Stay Safe!

Quality.

[Polski_Filip]

I cant believe that worked!
Within 2 hours of that post a family of 7 (not Brits) booked up an entire 9 day package with us later this month!
I’m going back to the Mountains! Yee haw!

[Polski_Filip]

Poland reopens flights to UK, Ukraine and Canada, but Sweden and Portugal...

[scotty]

The BBC are right on the fucking ball, I’ll give them that. Family meals have increased during lockdown?? Hold the front page…

[PhilippineSaint]

I read that as Smacking and family meals increase.
Should really not speed read
But I was probably correct as well.

After seeing this, sent a text asking if he was still alive. He is, and is recovering, just doing so without the “stresses of Sotonians”.

Quick poll. What are bletch’s “stresses of Sotonians”

• Dealing with me
• Dealing with the interminable and soul destroying procession of people asking him to fix the Twitter media bug.

[CB-Saint]

I read “me” to mean “you” - just for clarity

[BTripz]

Where’s the both option??

[pap]

Trust me. I am fuck all compared to reports of the Twitter bug.

I bother him say once every six weeks on average. Twitter bug hounds him

[scotty]

He asked for the fucking reports himself though, didn’t he. Nobody put a gun to his head as far as I’m aware.

And in any case, I’ve already solved the issue for him.

[pap]

School boy admin error, init.

[Fatso]

I think he’s upset at not having the Sotonians Twitter password

[Polski_Filip]

There is LIVE Cricket online today from Ageas Bowl.
England v England 4 day game is being streamed on the ECB Website from 11am.
That is all.

Whoopeee…

[pap]

He got that ages ago.

Think most of the mods are also on the team and can post as Sotonians.

[Polski_Filip]

Woo hoo! Live Cricket on the tellybob!
Well. Nearly. Team Stokes v Team Butler from Southampton Test Match warm up streamed live on ecb.co.uk.
No sound, no commentary, one camera each end and Craig Overton is Jimmy Anderson according the wonky graphics.
BUT it is a small step. Team Stokes won the toss & fielded

It’s almost up there with Priti Patel boasting in the HOC a few weeks ago that shoplifting was down. When none of the shops were open during lockdown!

[Nottarf-Krap]

She’s a big girl for sixteen. Must have done as she was told growing up and eaten her greens!

[Nottarf-Krap]

He must also get a bit stressed constantly looking over his shoulder worrying about his deputy waiting to pounce and take over his job.
