Just lay them in a row across the bed and strap them down with bungee cords. Wheels (or skis) under the legs. Fasten yourself into a harness, and you're off!The idea of carrying round three fridges with you is just impractical imo

And the original author isn't happy about itAs it is effectively a parody already, they didn’t really have any choice. It is hard to believe more than two minutes thought went into creating it tho.

Of the many things that do my head in with how the government have handled this crisis, this is probably the one that infuriates me the most. Daily / hourly references to Churchill, a PM that actually physically apes Winston, wartime rhetoric all over the messaging and yet two actual examples of how to solve exactly this problem are completely ignored.

TBF none of them answer the questions.She's actually getting worse. She's not answered any question competently

The only thing I can think of is that she was loyal to Johnson going way back to the Brexit campaign and this position is her payback. Not saying it is right or even wise but Johnson seems to surround himself with the loyal rather than the talented.She's certainly the worst of them all. The press office must cringe when they're forced to wheel her out. How did she get to such a high position?
Yes, you are right she did pass much off on Vallance.The science guy was basically forced to provide any form of sense there.
Speaking at the government’s daily press conference, Prof Chris Whitty said: “All-cause mortality has come down at the same time as the Covid deaths have come down and it is now at roughly the rate it is at in an average winter. So we are essentially having a winter … in terms of mortality, but in late spring and early summer.”
Is this actually a real graphic? I'm not bothered about the face, it's obviously the back of their head. But how is 3 fridges a useful measurement to anyone? And benches? What size of bench? An unusually short one metre long bench like the kind of length of bench that you would pretty much never see? What are they on?
It seems a bizarre choice if so, but equally it's hard to believe it's accidental.That is surely what it’s based on. It couldn’t be an accident, could it?
Sorry, I've let myself down, I've let the thread down, but most of all I've let Urban down.really? you're sharp eh!
Does he mean visor type protection ? That’s worn here by staff in supermarkets and some bars.Have we had this yet? Another i can’t believe it’s not on the joke thread.
Wetherspoons are actually bringing in beer goggles.
Goggles for their staff to wear. Who says Fuckwit Martin doesn’t understand immunology?

There are ways to manage it. For example if you were planning on seeing them, then you could both isolate beforehand to make sure.Not asking you or anyone to answer this personally obvs but I’m preoccupied with the parental hug question, because they keep asking me (theyre both mid seventies & not in UK). If staying away from them for the greater good / increased chance of a vaccine being developed means staying away for five years that’s too much, imo. Two years is long. Etc. It’s not without massive costs is all I mean, as we all know.
Yep. For me I’d have to fly to see them (or drive for days which would be safer but still not safe) so for now anyway it feels impossible. What I’d like to figure out is some marker (for myself) that would mean that the risk I’d pose them by going to see them is worth it, iykwim.There are ways to manage it.

I guess you would have to quarantine when you got to wherever they are. As long as you quarantine first and as long as you dont have symptoms-I think that's all you can do.Yep.

This kind of thing, it’s how it’ll have to be done. Good to hear about an example like that. No summer house option but there’ll be a solution, does mean a quick visit will take a looong time.I guess you would have to quarantine when you got to wherever they are.

So a work friend of mine (a nurse) has just gone back to Spain. Her parents have both driven their cars to Gibraltar so that she and her bf can take one car and they can go back to Cadiz in separate cars. Then they are going to quarantine in her bf parents summer house before them both going separately to their parents.
Pressure on Dominic Cummings to quit over lockdown breach
Exclusive: PM’s adviser was with parents away from London home when he had coronavirus symptomswww.theguardian.com
A member of the public is understood to have seen him and made a complaint to the police.
Breaking lockdown rules has been a resigning issue for senior officials.
Prof Neil Ferguson, the epidemiologist whose modelling prompted the lockdown, quit as a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) for flouting physical distancing rules when he was visited by his girlfriend.
After he stood aside, senior Tories insisted he had done the right thing.
Hancock said he was “speechless” and added: “I think he took the right decision to resign.”
The former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said Ferguson’s behaviour “risks undermining the government’s lockdown message”.
Scotland’s chief medical officer, Catherine Calderwood, was also forced to quit after making two trips to her second home during the coronavirus lockdown.
