Over 214k new infections yesterday & theyre closing the test centres this week what could possibly go wrong

Nose running like a tap with a slight cough yesterday did a test & bingo it was positive. In fact I did a 2nd one just to make sure. Lemsip and cough medicine for breakfast this morning.

The other 4 of us in the house have all tested negative. So its definitely come from the school

Day just keeps getting better Miss T had to ring in sick this morning (sore throat feeling sick) just done 3 tests all came back positive. She's obviously picked it up from school were she teaches. She said a few of her kids were coughing yesterday they've obviously passed it on to her.

Dad rang me yesterday he's 85 he tested positive a couple of days ago he's got a cough & chest infection. He's on antibiotics & steroids for the chest infection I'm ringing him this morning for an update. He's been looking after his partner she's had it for a week & he's obviously picked it up from her. They live in in Warrington, luckily we have family members there to drop any food & meds they need. They're both triple jabbed so hopefully that'll help them fight the bastard off.

I think a big mistake was made not offering children the vaccine before lifting all the restrictions

Just looking back the number recorded yesterday is the highest number recorded in the UK since the start of the pandemic.

My eldest grandson (16) who lives with us is due to get his 2nd jab next week.

Almost 91k new infections on the 18th. Yesterday apparently there was almost 226k new infections. This thing is flying again. At the rate its growing by this time next week we could be looking at 1,000,000 new infections a day.

Got a few Guns N Roses tattoos towards the end of the 80's & early 90's

One of my sons is in town at the minute hes just sent me this.

If you search Covid Infections Graph UK. It shows you daily totals so obviously somebody keeping an eye on things. Also R rate last week was between 0.8 & 1.1 today they said it was between 1.1 & 1.4 So somebody's keeping the score

25th February just over 31k new infections today almost 91k new infections

I want to know what Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall thought he was doing tieing himself to the goal post last night.

Haven't had it, haven't got it, don't want it

One miserable Sunday night in October 1987 I had a decision to make. Either go to the club to the usual Sunday night disco. The alternative I'd read in the Kerrang about this new band coming over from America called Guns N Roses. There were only playing 6 shows here one was the City Hall. I'd never heard them was going to go to the club & thought fuck it I'll go & see them. Got to the City Hall tickets were £5 & only downstairs was open due to low ticket demand. Support band Faster Pussycat came on & I thought they were ok. Nipped downstairs for a swift pint at halftime back for the main event. The band came on & I thought they looked cool as fuck. You couldn't see the lead guitarists face as it was covered in thick curls with a top hat on. The singer had a great voice sometimes high pitched screaming then it seemed to go quite deep. We later found out there names were Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy & Steven. They were rough around the edges but it didn't matter i really enjoyed them. After the show I bought a t shirt on my way out for a fiver. It was the cross on the front of the censored Appetite For Destruction cover. I went into town the next day & bought the album on cassette for my Walkman. I saw them again the following year at Donington people were just picking up on them . Unfortunately during their Donington set the crowd pushed forward when they came on & to lads were trampled on & died. In the summer of 1989 MTV started playing Sweet Child Of Mine on heavy rotatation. In 1991 I went to Wembley Stadium for their only UK date. It was a red hot day 92 degrees in the stadium support bands were Nine Inch Nails & Skid Row. Waiting for Guns to come on i looked at a packed Wembley & realised in less than 4 years they'd become the biggest band on the planet. The last time I saw them was in 1992 at Gateshead Stadium the show was ok but by then Izzy followed Steven & left the band & not to long after Slash would leave as well. Sorry its a bit long winded but I wanted to share these memories with you. P.S. my son Axl will be 27 this year

Saw AC/DC at Glasgow SEC in 1991. Went to Whitley Bay Ice Rink in 1986 another big shed. Also saw them at the Mayfair in 1980 the place was absolutely rammed full. This was the last gig Bon Scott ever played.
