Coronavirus: Profiteering scumbags, scams, c*nts and more

[gentlegreen]

It's going to be a tight fit, but I think it'll just about squeeze in, for that internal cleansing.

I was reminded recently that long before Trump's enthusiasm for internal illumination, he used to express his preference for incandescent lamps that didn't make him look orange ...

Yes he could stick one of those up his bum the heat would certainly cleanse him.

Got a call from Sheffield shielding service yesterday (I was on the list mistakenly, but still get them)... they were warning about scammers calling people up, pretending to be from them and requesting bank details. I mean how fucking low can you get?

there's all sorts going on - people door knocking as well - getting isolated vulnerable people to hand over their debit cards so they can bring them shopping, then emptying them out. look at my earlier post on here - there's a fuckton of different scams - I get a weekly warning email and it's unbelievable how many ways people can think up to exploit the situation and screw people over

Just got this from my GP. FFS, why would anyone do this?

'We have been informed by Public Health England that a number of patients have received a scam text message for Cervical Screening.

At the moment the practice is not recalling any patients for Cervical Screening, if you receive any text message about Cervical Screening and are not sure who has sent the message please inform the practice.'

Big Clive is having a binge on cheap disco lights re-badged as UV.

This one is at least genuine - but very low-powered - and it has a safety timer so you can vacate the area when it's operating - but 79 fucking quid for something you could probably have got on EBay for under a tenner before ...

If you've got the cash you could buy one of these - a room sterilising UV robot. They're using it at the Manchester Nightingale - quite a neat bit of kit really.

Not sure that would disinfect the under side of the op table or under beds.

Some plastics are affected by UV causing them to go brittle. Not much use if it disinfects your equipment but makes it disintegrate.

Apparently it deals with shadows/corners by scanning the room and using algorithms to optimise disinfection. But if you're concerned best leave your sex toys in a drawer to ensure they don't disintegrate.

Right on cue ...

They should be Ok. I've never used sex toys in hospital.

You haven't lived.

I've only been in hospital once. That was a 1 night stay to have my wisdom teeth out and it was a military hospital.

I am both impressed and disappointed, when it comes to killer robots I am definitely hoping for ED-209

"Marks & Spencer has been accused of exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic by selling bottles of hand sanitiser for twice as much as equivalents elsewhere ...":

Marks & Spencer in row over £11.50-a-bottle hand sanitiser

"Another brand’s bottle of the same amount of hand sanitiser is advertised for sale at Boots for just £4.15 with a different 250ml one priced at £2, while Superdrug offers 300ml of hand gel for £3.49"​

That isn't just a rip-off. It's an M&S rip-off.

 

[two sheds]

I thought M&S were double the price of anywhere else anyway, that's part of their attraction, keep the oiks out

We don't just do Covid. We do triple choc chip luxury Covid.

Shame it wasn't a video the same length explaining to Johnson how important essential workers are to the country and why fruit pickers should be given proper wages and work conditions.

Steve Coogan. He’s furloughed his housekeeper and gardener at his mansion. Scum’s headline’s a Good’un...”Knowing me, furloughing you, aha!”

I'm not sure describing Chucky as a farmer is accurate, he may own a lot of land on which stuff is grown but I can't imagine him driving his tractor round the fields and spreading muck.
My 18 year old was asked if she wanted to "Pick For Britain" but declined on the grounds that she would actually be picking for Tescos, it's not like the fruit is going to be handed out free to all and sundry.

He does spread muck about homeopathy shite.

Homeopathic shite should work wonders. Peas the size of melons.

"WHY CAN'T I SAIL MY BRAND NEW BOAT?!!!"

What a fucking dick.

Ex-Joy Division member Bernard Sumner hit out at the lockdown in Wales with a rant about the "f***ing Welsh".

The 64-year-old, who was also a founder member of New Order, said he'd been prevented from coming to Wales to sail his boat.

The rules in Wales are that any exercise must be taken locally, and non-essential travel is banned. That includes tourists coming to the country.

Discussing his experience of lockdown with the Times, the avid sailor said: "I've got a brand new boat waiting for me in Wales and I can't go to it because the f***ing Welsh won't let me."
