What will you miss about Covid?

[derrick]

Not having the excuse not to deal with people i don't like.

 

[Rusty Nails]

If all these things that people say they miss are taken in isolation then I can see their point.

But unfortunately they come as part of a package, which has nothing at all good about it.

I will miss absolutely nothing about this pandemic because I am an adult with a sense of perspective.

. Realising who really needed to travel, during my 'allowed exercise', one route took me over the M62, on an occupation bridge, between jcts

Do you think that less people were travelling for other reasons other than they never really needed to in the first place?

 

[stephec]

OK, challenge on..

I'm going to go there, and find something nice to say about it..

Where is it again ??

Good luck with that.

Years ago, when the big Tesco extra opened there, I happened to be working in a factory just up the road that makes burgers for McDonald's.

Discussing it's opening with a bloke working next to me he said, 'they're all excited round here now that they can buy a pair of jeans for £4.00.' 😄

Two things
1. Finding out (collectively, as a department) how many people really need to attend an A&E

During the first outbreak we sometimes saw 30 patients a day, that were non Covid related
Prior to it, we averaged 70 in the department at once....

2. Realising who really needed to travel, during my 'allowed exercise', one route took me over the M62, on an occupation bridge, between jcts 31 (Normanton/Castleford) & 32 (Castleford/'Xscape'/Pontefract


Both are looking west
Before..

[wafter]

The looming spectre of death forcing people to make better life choices.

Why do you think there's a c*** in Scunthorpe?

The place doesn’t deserve this. Britain owes the place much for the steel it’s people produced.
People like Olympic cyclist Lal White

Scunthorpe, like many industrial centres, became a monotown. Steel, steel, steel. It has been mined and exhausted, and wears its history for all to see.
Definitely worth a visit, like anywhere else. For the discerning eye, there is plenty.

I'm sleeping a lot better. Because all my evening music stuff is cancelled, I am going to bed early as watching telly all evening is soooo dull.
Although, work is currently stressful and bonkers so I'm still knackered!

 

[mustang1]

Feels like air is cleaner.
Less crowded (roads and shops).
A greater appreciation of living your life (I see this quickly going back to the rat race once this is all over).

 

[Drago]

Being able to rob shops effecrively because wearing my mask raises no suspicions.

Look at those bars..

And biceps!!

I'd want him on my arm wrestling team.

OK Scunny is going to be at the start of my next 'Northern Tour' just to defy the haters..

There's bound to be a train there.

And a route out..

 

[Drago]

His biceps aren't much, but he has some serious delt action going on there. I din't know what else he may have done but id guess a lotmof lifting and carrying were involved.

This is true.

He's off the team now.

Some (including adults) use the term Silver Lining. You should try using it, it can be quite cheery.

If you don't do cheery, more fool you. It's Friday, I've no time for Eeyores.
