Off Topic Coronavirus

You go for it. A rant a day keeps the doctor away.

 

I would be nice to have a football match to discuss!

 

I know . We can't even get a decent virtual game to argue over.

 

Anytime pal me, you and Staines v the World.....

 

A close call for me and the wife, 2 / 3 weeks ago we had a hotel booked near Bedford for a family wedding, wife’s cousins eldest, anyway we decided not to go because of her accumulated high risk factors and the fact Boris had just announced the closing of all pubs etc, anyhow the father in law went (81) poor health, we have since found out the wife’s cousin ( brother of grooms mother ) has just spent 10 days in ICU in Brighton with The Myley Cyrus had it bad and was touch and go, he believes he caught it in London 4-5 weeks ago.
A narrow escape for us but now Father in law is very poorly, not in hospital as yet but looking like it, but my point is even though that side of the family all knew he’d Been in hospital and definitely had it, we found out yesterday via Facebook of the event, no phone calls to warn anybody, no phone calls to check , nothing, needless to say some on this side are actually f*cking fuming, and I fear that a very large rift has opened and if the father in law does have it and it ends badly it could end in serious repercussions as my Brother in laws are the punch first ask questions afterwards type of fellows.
Which brings me too my point, when you can’t trust family, who can you trust in these sad and dangerous times !!!

 

Sorry to hear this Turkish - I know that you're worried about this for your families sake

 

Business Watch!

Smith Group, precision engineering, has been trying to sell its Smith Medical (drips, airways stuff and a low volume sales ventilator mainly used in ambulances) for two years. Now the ventilator design has been adopted by one of the groups trying to churn them out for the NHS. Boom times! Also it’s anti terrorist scanners, via Smith Detection, are flying off the shelves as airports, unexpectedly quiet, bring forward installation of new kit.

Always a silver lining for someone!

 

Okay I am complely fed up of your rantings by page 192... Can you all lay off thses personal attacks.

Tomorrow I am going to start a page calleed personal attacks ...and you can all go on there and attack each other and every couple of days the Mods will go on a delete the thread. OK


I am off to bed , make the most of your sniping as I am going to set up the page tomorrow..
SO THEN can we keep the Coronovirus page for information and discussion abiout CoVid19

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT

and before you ask yes I have had a gin, but only one!

 

Who’s rattled her cage then ?


THATS A JOKE, BETH....HONEST

 

You're gonna miss the 'Pink Supermoon', already rising in the east, I've had a good look through my binoculars, seems a good place for social distancing...

 

Sorry to read this. Totally irresponsible and selfish. We've already been told to hold on booking Eurostar tickets to London in July for a wedding. The bride called us and told us she isn't sure what will happen but hasn't ruled out cancelling.

 

But on your point mate, which is totally and utterly correct this ‘hero’ thing is getting a bit tedious to be honest. No one forced me into the job, it’s I wanted to do and I do mostly enjoy it.
It’s fun......most of the time

Was gonna write a long post but gotta go x

 

Stop complaining

 

...like all heroes do, Stainsey.

 

I'm just worried that Stainsey's ambulance may be unable to move at any more than walking pace soon if he keeps consuming so much cake....

 

What did you end up doing Watford?

 

Nothing. Had the thing on for a couple of hours and it didn’t buzz. Set my status to being on duty and all the other bits but no calls. Unless I did it wrong which I’m fairly sure I didn’t.

 

Good on you for signing up regardless though

 

A family friend who was admitted to St Thomas's Hospital about 10 days ago following a heart attack passed away this evening. Told he contracted the virus whilst in the ICU which was separate from the Covid ICU. Seems there is no hiding place in hospitals now, his wife was not allowed access at any time after he was admitted, it's bloody heartbreaking for any close relative...

 

When I’ve got to clean up the back of the Ambulance with clinell wipes for the umpteenth time I have a right to complain
