The dreaded COVID

I fell victim to COVID-19 over the new year period; unfortunately it was asymptomatic at first so I was totally unaware I had it, and by the time it gave me a kicking on new year’s day I was already pretty much through it. 1st January I gave a positive test, 2nd had a veryContinue reading “The dreaded COVID”

Side effects.

I’ve had quite a few side effects after my COVID vaccination; but I’d still have it again. It’s everyone’s duty to get vaccinated. The first night I had a rough night, with shivers and sweating alternating. The following day I felt like I had a mild flu – not good timing as I was sellingContinue reading “Side effects.”

100,000 dead

Live Aid had two main events – London and Philadelphia. The London event held approximately 80,000; the Philadelphia event just over 100,000 due to the venue being much larger than Wembley at the time (it was held at the old Twin Towers Wembley which was a predominantly a football venue). The Philadelphia event photo aboveContinue reading “100,000 dead”

Locked down again.

I’ve seen it coming from miles away. People just aren’t behaving.

Lockdown incoming, again.

So Boris spewed forth tripe and again demonstrated his lack of understanding of the situation by locking us all down again from Midnight Thursday. Or is it Friday? Yeah he didn’t really make it very clear for the masses who may not understand the concept of which day Midnight belongs in (a day starts atContinue reading “Lockdown incoming, again.”

The Revolution Starts Here

The majority of intelligent people in the country know by now that Boris Johnson is an inept buffoon, and that the Tories dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic is bordering in genocide; but the idiot now wants to lock down Manchester; and indeed after negotiating with their mayor, Andy Burnham, has hit a brick wall. ThatContinue reading “The Revolution Starts Here”

We’re gonna lockdown again, aren’t we?

Led by a clueless Government who seem to be using a scattergun approach to COVID-19, and alongside some pretty horrible people who consider that wearing a mask doesn’t apply to them; I am seeing an impending lockdown again. Manchester locked down again last week. Thursday to be precise. I was supposed to be spending theContinue reading “We’re gonna lockdown again, aren’t we?”

Just wear a mask, you idiot.

I’m feeling really annoyed at the moment. I don’t particularly like stupid people and as someone who was considered an essential worker by the government and thus obliged to work through lockdown I am now feeling as if we weren’t actually appreciated at all. All the clapping in the world for the NHS is justContinue reading “Just wear a mask, you idiot.”

No excuses. Wear a mask.

If I didn’t wear the correct PPE I would not be allowed on site. My own risk assessment and the HSE guidance say that I must wear appropriate PPE for the task in hand, in this case height work with overhead hazards. The mask? Well there’s a fucking pandemic destroying the lungs and other organsContinue reading “No excuses. Wear a mask.”

Lockdown. Things I’ve noticed & learned to appreciate.

So after a few months of lockdown, we are beginning to see things starting to happen again. Shops are slowly opening. I can now get my Costa Coffee again (albeit as a drive through) and I’m seeing busier roads. Apart from my current annoyance, which is people who are clearly out for recreational journeys drivingContinue reading “Lockdown. Things I’ve noticed & learned to appreciate.”
