Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

[beesonthewhatnow]

You’re Cupid, he’s stupid

 

[existentialist]

So, our "surprisingly well-informed poster" turned out to have an agenda, and decided to flounce rather than engage...after all that lurking . I think they knew exactly what they were doing.

Still, I'm glad they changed their avatar - having another poster on the boards with the same one as me was slightly confusing...

 

[Artaxerxes]

That's such a massive increase, fucking hell.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I'd suggest ignoring them instead of giving them the response they want.

Yes, you're all wasting time that could be spent responding to one of teuchter's windup threads instead.

Easter holiday cancelled and refunded, spring half-term and summer holidays booked.

Dorset for half-term, Northumberland for the summer, with a couple of days in York on the way up.

I'll start booking some camping trips later...

We've also booked Northumberland for June. We were supposed to be going last year but had to cancel - twice. Hoping for third time lucky. As much as I love landlocked Birmingham the chance to see the sea and walk the coast sounds like paradise at the minute.

I'm bored of posting here now, good luck in your echochamber.

Fuck off you selfish cunt

Bloody hell: Not a single case of flu detected by Public Health England in 2021

I can confirm this, I've not had a single case of flu either.

But that presumably bumps up the number of covid related deaths when looking at excess death figures.

 

[SpineyNorman]

If this person really was doing these things they would just do them rather than writing on here

Very much this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure hypernormalized is a big enough cunt to go around without a mask like a dirty little ratlicker, not giving a fuck about the lives of others that they're putting at risk.

But they're far too pathetic to actually do it, far too afraid of being confronted by people rightly wanting to know why he thinks it's OK to put their lives at risk.

So instead they try and make up for these personal failings by acting hard on the internet.

A cunt, a coward and a liar basically.

No, it's about all of us. Not me.

GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE

 

[teuchter]

Yes, you're all wasting time that could be spent responding to one of teuchter's windup threads instead.

That's not unique to this situation though.

 

[editor]

Things are definitely looking hopeful but I hope no one forgets how the government fucked it up for so long.

 

[William of Walworth]

good luck in your echochamber.

Our clique remains as monothought as ever ....

 

[stdP]

Zzz. Me giving up 1.5-2% of my life and >10% of my youth for the sake of a virus that has a 1% IFR.

You call it selfish, I think society at large has acted in a negative manner overall.

A few months made sense, this is madness.

"Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!"

He had a point though. You should listen to other viewpoints without instantly ridiculing them. Ridicule them after careful thought if you like, but don't dismiss them out of hand. An echo chamber does nobody any favours.

They'd already been exhausted by the time you popped in

Urban isn't an "echo-chamber" though, and never has been.

Over the years, I've found that those who think it is, are overwhelmingly a ..... certain type of poster

(Off now -- it's getting late and I don't want to derail any further )

I wouldn't know about the site as a whloe- like I said before I only look at this one topic!

Nah.

Of all the things that Urban is, one thing it is not is an echo chamber. That is just a cheap attempt to write off many opposing views as a clique, when all they really have in common is their disagreement with your views.

Time to get out of your echo chamber and explore the site a bit.

His point is that he doesn’t care how many people he kills, he doesn’t want to wear an itchy mask.

You're probably not the best placed to get what this site is all about if you only look at one thread. We are a lot more than one thread, especially if you consider this one didn't exist a year ago.

That's a bit like insisting someone listen to the Cardiacs entire discography just because they liked 'Is This The Life' though.

Well, TBF, it'd be more like insisting someone listen to the Cardiacs entire discography just because they said they hated 'Is This The Life'...

 

[souljacker]

Maybe if they just listened to the chorus.

I agree.

 

[klang]

this is worth repeating.

 

[two sheds]

Yes I agree with that too.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Absolutely, anyone that thinks otherwise really isn’t going to fit in round here.

 

[prunus]

You can say that again.
