Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

More stomach wrenching than the clapping itself is the gradual big dick contest opening up with pans and whistles. How long until air horns ?the fact that people have stopped clapping in the hopes of being louder than their neighbours shows how vacuous and performative it has become

I feel closer to my neighbours because of this, I like it, sorry you don't. Maybe head over to the neighbours from hell thread?

How long until air horns ?

Already happening

Ha! Glad I am not the only Grinch

whistles

Damn, my Acme Thunderer is stuck at work. Fwiw the Fox 40 is most Premier League referees Whistle of choice for the db's.

We had a volley of fireworks last week on my street. Le sigh.

Also, I swear it's getting longer each week as people don't want to be the first to turn tail and close their doors for fear of being the least fawning towards the NHS.

I was making tea at 8 and couldn't bring myself to drop everything to go and do it. Am I less of an upstanding citizen now?

Deport!

Fireworks & those awful sky lantern things around by us. A bit much.

So many things that negative sentiment and energy would be better directed towards than clapping/5 mins of noise to celebrate and thank people.

yeah. Could be directed to helping me drag my glass bin out when it next gets collected. It's getting embarrassingly full...

Don't get me started.

I’m having to empty my glass/metal indoor recycling box every two or three days now. It’s getting silly.

Wait, what?

There's a place for all this Bin chatter.

I know, amazing yeah. You just toot into the steerer tube and wow - sonic boom!

Else, try skatehut

I’m waiting to be called out on my non-participation and then flex the NHS ID badge even though I’m just a scummy accountant

Same.
Though I'm a proper analyst. Apparently.

You sound fun.

I personally report on £1bn of inter NHS transactions which has me alternating between “you the man now dog” and “what’s the point of this fake internal market I’ve become an expert in”

I'll give you some starter when I eventually collect those forks. May have to be delivered in a sandwich bag.

Edit: not any kind of ancient delicious yeast strain or anything, just grown from the ambient floaters in my kitchen a few months ago. But it makes bread at least.

You are the man!

I don't think there's ever a good reason for the. sky lanterns, they're dangerous. It's been one of the driest Aprils on record so far, last thing we need is some wildfires.

Also, they land in the countryside and the sharp wires end up in animal stomachs and kill them. Not that you need concern yourself with anything from miro anyway.

Sky lanterns are shit, fireworks also a bit shit but I have to say I kind of miss them - fireworks are totally banned here after a) one burnt down the CCTV building in Beijing and b) there was a stampede on NYE in Shanghai and loads of people died.

I'm writing this with a mask on my chin, feel kinda guilty but I have to balance compulsory mask wearing with breathing and being able to drink coffee.
