  1. Recession is two consecutive quarters of economic decline. The measures that we have taken have 100% caused an economic decline, we're much less productive right now. Will that go on for two consecutive quarters and how much of a decline.... I dunno mate. I think it's worth pointing out though that this isn't quite the same as a normal recession or what happened in 2008. In 2008 the world found out part of it's economy, a significant part, was all a lie and then that cascaded. What's happening here is more like a 'hiatus', lol. In principle the meat and potatoes of our economy is still re
  2. Well the UK Gov' have been given the power to use everyone's personal mobile data to track movements. No time limit. Same in other EU countries.
  3. Early days, too early to have much certainty...
  4. Holy shit! Is that an Irish-person praising something English? I'm clearly delirious!
  5. Can I have ya dog? I'll be respectful and wait until Socks has formally announced your passing.
  6. You’ll have to forgive me mate. I’m just mardy because wilfs telling everyone to breed and my blowup girl friend has a puncture!
  7. I'll raise ya 400k to air pollution with 100% from living....
  8. My point is, what the f**k does ancestry and who's f****d who's have to do with this. lol
  9. Arguably hit them harder and faster than anyone else.
  10. While you're all taking romantic history lessons be worth remembering that the Black Death put more bodies in the dead bins than this will!
  11. I really do think that when the testing is ramped up the strategy will change and we'll get some semblance of normality back. Which is good because how long can a country essentially produce very little but continue to consume at the same rate...
  12. You know the economy is f****d when the politicians in charge of it start committing actual hara kiri! Sorry, that's not something to joke about.
  13. I mean it depends if you want to watch the greatest piece of television ever I suppose. Lol
  14. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/29/coronavirus-test-covid-19-home-antibody-kits/ Very informative article on testing in the UK. Covers both the antigen and antibody tests and when we'll likely be able to get them.
  15. I bet. I can only imagine the pride being part of a regiment/company etc with such a history. A few others come to mind too.
  16. We're missing out the bit where he said it'd have a 100% fatality rate and kill within 24hrs of exposure. lol
  17. Brent's trading at like $28. Goes much lower you'll be charging them to f***ing take it!
  18. I understand. I look at it like this. Do you think our soldiers/marines in Afghan thought the labcoats at DSTL who developed IED jammers deserved less praise than the man stood behind them on patrol? I bet after receiving that kit they'd have kissed the c**t that developed it for them! If we always hold courage and effort in the highest regard then we will encounter a lot of loss for it. If we hold intelligence and innovation in equal regard then we will hopefully save those brave from having to make so much sacrifice.
  19. I'm just impressed with what's going on behind the scenes. I don't want to take anything from our brave front line medical professionals.
  20. And helping the sick is the passion of medical professionals. They literally entered into a career that daily exposes them to disease, epidemic or not. Yes the front line medical professionals deserve praise because they are front line troops saving lives. Scientists and industry that are active on this deserve praise because they are providing the troops with equipment and strategy to save lives. Which is arguably more effective, if not brave. Trivialise that all you want, I bet the doctors aren't. It's not a joke. I'm praising different things which are both VERY important.
