*counts on fingers* Next Friday!

Emergency measures introduced in Blackburn to prevent a Leicester-style lock down... including asking people to bump elbows in place of handshakes and hugs with those outside their immediate family. Hasn't "no physical contact at all" been the guidance for months now?

Pretty much this.

Aye, I'd get all over that to be honest.

Ridiculous that it took so long, really.

Yes but it's OUR red tape not FORRUN red tape BELIEVE IN BRITAIN

Not that I go to pubs much these days anyway (which is one reason the "life's back to normal everyone, pubs and shops are back!" narrative from on high is quite galling - give me running events and non-essential rail travel and off-West-End experimental musical theatre and then we can talk, dahling), but I definitely don't feel any great urge to go to an indoor pub or restaurant setting for as long as very visible precautions need to be in place. I'm sure some people are capable of switching off that part of their brain and enjoying themselves regardless, but I'm not. It's not even about the actual risk really - having a takeaway round at a friend's house is probably just as "bad" - it's the quality of the experience.

OK, yes, that does make it sound significantly less only-in-American.

Sneaky.

This weekend it's been a slightly odd triple bill of The Seventh Seal, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom. Mixed bag.

Ask her where she learned the word "sheeple" from. Sounds a lot like mind control to me.

Goodbye, England's joke

He should have spotted it by himself, butterheads up is always appreciated.

Well, if the BLM principle is "we don't want special treatment, just equality", there's little more truly American than a lawsuit...

Fucking hell

Wahey!

Seems like the behaviour of a perfectly normal country

Chance would be a fine thing
