So the UK is officially in lockdown because too many people went out to celebrate mother's day together lol. All fast food joints are closed so have fun cooking! No pasta, however, the stores are all sold out. Today is a great day to be alive (maybe). Put the kettle on and butter a crumpet, fellas, we're in for a bloody rough time. UPDATE 16/03/2020: Lockdown extended for at least three more weeks True tales of what us merry men are enduring:     Panic!

GP says we have coronavirus but we're still alive so that's good. If anyone is wondering what it feels like for a moderately healthy 34 year old, I could only describe it as Flu's big brother. Also, if you're unlucky enough to contract this loving thing, say goodbye to sleeping throughout the night as you'll be waking up with coughing fits. Also feeling like you've swallowed a bunch of razor blades. Wife's a paramedic for NHS and can't work until completely recovered, but they delivered a little care package which was nice.

Galewolf posted:Oh my man, that sucks big time but hang in there. From what it sounds you are in the "mild symptoms" camp and hopefully, it'll get better soon. Please say our thanks to your wife and get well soon wishes. We're writing to my gfs MP to do something RIGHT loving NOW instead of twiddling their thumbs about NHS. Thank you. Yeah, others are more worried about us than we are ourselves. It sucks rear end but we're getting through it. In honesty, all this time I didn't think it'd get us but welp. The street has just been outside clapping and making noise for the NHS which was really nice for wife. Didn't know anything about it but apparently it was an arranged thing across the country for tonight to show support

Oddly enough, Amazon who used to be so intent on leaving a parcel on my doorstep, ringing the bell and then immediately vanishing in a puff of ninja smoke before I even get to the door, seem to now ring the doorbell and wait a healthy distance away for me to casually pick up my package

London really isn't that great. Every time I move, I'm slightly further away from the place and it's always better. Moved from zone 3, to 4, to 5, then 6. And now I'm in Kent. The trains are faster for getting into Central London anyway (and just as packed with gross, unwashed commuters) but the further out you are the better chance you have of getting a good seat which makes the journey more tolerable anyway, so gently caress the tubes unless you're already near-ish where you need to be.

Galewolf posted:I'm on the opposite side of this thought. Well, I was. Before the 'rona I thought living in central-ish London is the shizzle (Zone 1-2) due to how many things you can do. I mean, you probably didn't need to go anywhere else for anything which made a huge difference in my life dynamic. Arts, night-life, sports, dating, music, theatre and everything else was packed in a relatively small center was just my kinda jam. Don't get me wrong, I used to enjoy being more central but the further away I moved, the better things felt. I used to have to commute around Clapham and oh boy, rail replacement busses were the worst. Sometimes they just wouldn't turn up, and when they eventually did two hours late, they'd be ram packed with sweaty assholes who just couldn't wait to get on board so they can finally get home. The worst part about the central london busy areas are people who walk and just suddenly stop in front of you without warning. Doesn't matter what time of day it is, those jerks always get you by surprise. Even worse are the ones that have never used a tube before and don't understand that blocking up the doors and not moving inside the carriage is not the way to London. Having said all that, all this self isolation is getting a bit cabin feverish now and I'd probably welcome a day trip into the city

We ordered a kebab on just eat because we figured it'd be the fastest thing to get delivered. 3 and a half hours later was when it was delivered. For a kebab. My only thought is everyone around here must have had the same idea.

Valko posted:I'm from N. Ireland and trust me, everybody would like to use the same notes. My family runs a small buisiness and I have lost count of the amount of times people have come in asking us if we can change N. Irish and Scottish notes into English. Apparently buisinesses in England won't accept them. The Scottish won't accept our notes either for some reason. Trying to give someone a Scottish or Irish bank note as change when working retail in England is a difficult task. Almost always they'd ask for a different note or, if it was the last one, would ask for coins instead. But they'd always be accepted as tender at shops

And Italy is going to somehow completely stop all deaths in about 3-4 days? They're predictions and France are all hiding with little white flags. Everyone in Italy is dead so no more people to contract the virus. There's an explanation for everything!
