    Remember a fella in Pilks who did 2 weeks off sick with a split seal on his butty box, only to be bettered later by another who did 3 weeks with a broken flask, they were tough times then!

    Pilks was rife for that carry out, there was a bloke that went in triplex club 6 nights a week and spent at least 2 hours a night playing darts who was registered disabled. I'm sure there were plenty others too, a mate of mine had about 12 weeks off with a hernia and was playing golf after a month.

    I was just starting a night shift when I dropped my flask of coffee (to keep me awake) that was a nightmare.

    The safety officer at sheet works used to be a stickler for enforcing the no smoking in the warehouse on his patrols.
    He was a non smoker himself yet ironically he contracted cancer and died.

    He caught it in the foot from stomping everyone else`s cigs out.

    So despite wall-to-wall advice saying that if you think might have the Coronavirus, what YOU REALLY DON'T DO is go to your GP surgery, on Wednesday some utter pillock rocks up at his GP surgery and tells them he thinks he's got Coronavirus.

    FFS!!

    The GP surgery is forced to then close for a deep-clean, and then compounds the panic by posting a notice on the door saying they've had to close due to a confirmed case of Coronavirus.


    Numerous reports that hoards of zombies were seen shambling around the town centre were later explained as the resident methodone/booze addicts making their way to their usual begging positions.

    Pilks, where everyone was entitled to take ‘a Lord Harry’

    I’ll let someone else explain what this means

    It should cost £5 to enter A&E or the GP's surgery unless it is about an on-going condition. That would prevent a fair portion of the brainless inflicting their stupidity on the rest of us.

    Oh god, imagine what would happen if a Tory government implemented that. Social media would melt down.
    I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

    I'm sure they'd still manage to blame it on Labour/lefties/immigrants/the EU and enough knobheads would fall for it, as they cut taxes for their wealthy patrons.

    Similar story from my daughter who works in the NHS. Apparently a woman rang her GP saying that she thought she might have the virus. On questioning her, she was informed that she was ok. So she then rang NHS 111 for a repeat of the process. She then turned up at A&E which had to go into full isolation mode because of her presence. In being questioned why she thought she might have contracted the virus, she said it was because she’d been to China 9 years ago!

    Go put your tinfoil hat on and wait for the men in black to take you away.

    I imagine they would only refund season tickets if it took out a large portion of the season..

    Your not wrong on medical advice.

    I believe the occupants of the International Space Station have been told to shut the windows when flying over China.

    Coronavirus is a hoax?

    So they have just made it up?

    I'm not sure I follow you?

    Pep Guardiola setting a great example re prevention of the spread of said virus in game today! Lost count of the number of times he spat. Every time the camera panned onto him he was spitting! Does he not understand that he has a responsibility to set the right example. Disgusting habit and he does it continually.

    To be fair he was spitting each time Ederson and Otamendi made a mistake
