There is nothing technically forbidding you from going on vacation if your destination is accepting visitors and not on full lockdown. For reference, Turkish economy tanked so hard due to massive corruption that the government made tourists exempt from full on police enforced full curfew.

I traveled domestically during all pandemic for work even like April or Mid July and not once asked anything. Though I had a "this mofo is traveling on behalf of our company" letter signed by my main contract just in case.

I'm just catching up on the thread, I've got a similar letter signed by my head of dept.

It makes me laugh coz I'm just a computer toucher & only work in our local site, I guess I ought to blag it & go on holiday :)

Oh your American? And your son is... A student in Glasgow? My uncle is a taxi driver in Glasgow and a protective dude. I could give you his number as a person that will always pick your son up or make sure he's ok. To an extent.

Last time I went to Glasgow I ended up waking in a bush opposite my hotel and a vague memory of going clubbing with some honest to god clowns (facepaint an all - no really there was a circus training school there apparently). I don't think the clowns did a bad touch on me, but considering I had a ticket for 'The Viper' in my pocket and patchy memories of the night anything is possible.

Went to Uni at Sterling, had a job for a year and is now studying at Kings College, remotely, in Glasgow. PM me and I'll share info. Thank you very much!

I work for essential services (infrastructure, manufacturing and construction mainly) and after the initial shock the system auditing companies adjusted to hosting remote assessments but I still need to help the clients so traveled quite a bit.

Honestly, seeing once incredibly busy train stations like Waterloo as ghost towns, having an entire carriage to myself for two hour ride with an M&S meal deal and music was an interesting experience.

I gave up on the idea of non-work international travel for this year and early 21 but simce I can do 90% of my jerb remotely I can be based around different cities temporarily but I am looking for a room/studio in London while rents are slightly lower.

Do they sometimes fall over when looking at the planes

The ones I saw didn't, but I can't confirm that they never have. They do seem to have a problem staying upright, in general.

This is possibly related to EtOH consumption but this is only a hypothesis. More study is needed.

Any Glaswegians around? I ask because my son is in Glasgow, I recently sent him some stuff and it got stuck somewhere down south and now it is being sent back to me. So sending Christmas presents is going to be problematic. Any cool shops in Glasgow that might deliver locally would be greatly appreciated.

You can never, ever, repeat this to any of the Scottish posters, but the inhabited part of Scotland really isn't practically different to England other than the debilitating opiate dependency and terrible football teams, and anything you post should get driven straight there on the highway for the same price. It's only when you start to get up into the Hebrides and Orkneys that everything starts to be kept in a fishing cabin for six months, same as the difference between Vancouver Canada and Death By Canada. No idea why parcels wouldn't get delivered unless it was labelled wrong or customs bounced it.

If you're really struggling for gifts, and you don't mind feeding your money directly into the heart of darkness, you can go on amazon.co.uk, or maybe argos.co.uk and buy him a trampoline (all sons love trampoline)

Sectarianism in Glasgow is still a problem (though improving) but that was Larkhall, a town which would probably have exiled Ian Paisley for not being proddy enough.

The Viper has been shut for 2-3 years so you may of had a spooky ghost club experience.

I just spent 45 minutes setting up a PlayStation account because their website does not work on Apple devices, and googling brings up thousands of “how to force the drat website to work on your windows PC” and god drat it what is this 2005?

It’s not even that, every time you log in on the website after finally forcing it to work in Firefox it accepts your name and password and then goes back to the same unlogged in page again. I eventually got it set up via the console itself and then no password or authentication was needed for me to immediately set it so I could automatically log in.

was the playstation store the one which allowed you to create a password longer than it would accept for a log in? so it let you create an account but everytime you logged in it would tell you the password was wrong
