    This sounds incredibly ****.

    Trainspotting is probably my favourite book ever though. Not about trains, sadly.

    Right, I'm going back to the politics thread where the posters enjoy the finer things in life... like having a train book.

    Right so from Saturday I am in level 2. Will the pubs and clubs be open in my area so I can get a cider?

    Have to say that I'm not surprised by this.

    Mate, if he's headed to Inverness it's got to be a bottle of buckie - at least he'd blend in with the locals <laugh>

    Do you think these restrictions make any sense, Col?

    A mate of my son booked himself in for a COVID test. Drove to the centre, did the sign in bit, then his kids, in the back seat, really kicked off, so badly that he decided to bail and re book. So he drove home without taking the test.

    Next day he was messaged to say he tested positive.

    That, Woody, is definitely a false positive.

    There are obviously some inconsistencies, but as I've said before, they're trying to square a circle.
    Virtually impossible to provide a one size fits all policy with this thing imo.
    I just try to do what I can to stay safe.

    A lack of alcohol availability is obviously one of the main bug bares of yours.
    For me, it's not being able to perform on stage or go to a live performance.
    I do think they could probably have audiences in theatres in a reduced capacity.

    It's not the lack of alcohol availability per se (I really can go for a few hours without a shant), it's the lack of sense or reason behind the prohibition. My wife and I, both of a certain age, are forbidden from having an alcoholic beverage on our 9 hour train journey to Inverness. When we get to our destination, we can have a glass of wine with our meal only if we are prepared to freeze in doing so. As someone living in a London borough, I can no longer have a few of beers with my pals in our regular haunt in Eastcote, but we can get together just up the road in Rickmansworth and convene as normal. Where is the logic behind all this?

    Of course theatres should be open for restricted audiences - cinemas are aren't they? All outdoor sports should have people back, too.

    If we really need to take action to slow the spread of the virus, it should be a complete, unequivocal - but short-term and time-defined - full lockdown.

    They had two performances of 'Songs for the New World' at The London Palladium on Sunday afternoon and evening Col. I did post a photo on here on Monday comparing the Palladium to an empty open-air Wembley Stadium.

    All good mate.
    Here in the land of the Oz, we won’t allow terminally ill patients to drive just over the border to see family members as a last request but we will allow movie stars to bring all their friends and family into the state. Gotta keep the dollars flowing in.
