    What if your phone gets hacked when you’re pointing it at the rash on your dick?

    On the other side of the coin at least you can Photoshop it to make it look less embarrassingly small:)
    You can be hacked with pride then.

    Thanks for the insults. You literally could not be more wrong if you were Jeffrey Epstein.

    While I agree with you on the broader subject of the lockdown and masks, I completely disagree with your opinion on the governments reasoning and motivation for the measures.

    That’s fair enough. And you’ve managed to do it without any insults unlike Il Padrino here, so all the better!

    Time for full lockdown again with this government as we cannot have 6 deaths and 4 more infections than 7 days ago....

    It is possible with the testing. We've had about 8 people test positive at work this last week, only one of them I know of showed any symptoms (loss of taste) the rest had tests because they had been in contact with said person. A couple of months ago none of then would have been tested. So I don't see how you can compare infections now to during the peak. Infections must have been even higher than reported during the peak due to lack of testing.

    Exactly, if people at the peak could have been tested without symptoms people would have been hiding under the stairs because our peak of 6k infections a day would have been way into five figures. It's great now infections are being found much quicker from vast testing available to all.

    Germany want life back to normal and have protested today about it. It's only a matter of time before the same happens here. Let's have some more positivity.

    Well the rest of you can do what you like. But my other half was instructed to shield, and by default I had to as well. And despite that advice now lapsing (bizarrely) there is zero chance of me going near people if I can help it.

    The reality is if we unlock fully and people pretend it doesn’t exist, tens, if not hundreds of thousands more people are going to die. That I’m absolutely positive about!

    To be clear I for one am not suggesting we just return to normal. Caution is clearly the order of the day. I just think we have some cause for optimism too.
    I also couldn't agree more about the advice on shielding, it's nonsensical. For me that should be one of the last restrictions to be lifted.

    .
    They tested people on the cruise ship early in in the pandemic and 50% had no symptoms. Other tests show at least 25% of people with no symptoms. No loss of taste, anything....

    Edit: that's not unusual BTW, up to (IIRC) 30% of people can have flu but no symptoms.

    With unfounded unproven accusations like that calling you an idiot is getting off lightly. How am I "wrong"? have you evidence to prove the Govt timing is aimed at Muslims

    Stuff like this is annoying. One moaning with many agreeing and just one person correctly pointing out that you don't have to wear a mask outdoors.

    Course its aimed at Eid. You can argue whether it's justified or not as they obviously see it as a major gathering in a high risk group at a time of rising infections, but to claim the timing is coincidental is bonkers.

    Still can't believe it would ever happen at 10pm on Christmas Eve mind...

    That was the plan all along, don't you realize that? & it's been said many a time on this forum, FFS.

    It’s an opinion Luigi, I don’t need to publish an 18 page fact file. My ‘evidence’ is

    1) the fact that areas with a high concentration of Asian community are locked down when there are some areas with a different demographic with more ‘Vid who are not locked down

    2) It was announced with no notice literally the night before Eid

    3) Gatherings in the home are banned but pubs aren’t closed.

    I get that people might say it’s justified, but surely you can see how it looks, Fabio?

    So In your "opinion" the timing is absolutely NOTHING to do with the Coronavirus Spike in Bradford and Oldham? Or have the Govt engineered it to cause the Muslim community as much inconvenience as possible. What motives do you extrapolate from that? I go back to my post regarding intelligent people allowing political ideologies to cloud their thinking. The reasoning for the Asian area lockdown where others with higher spikes is obvious. It is business as usual for most but when a major celebration like Eid where extended families etc. celebrate together the risk of the spike escalating is higher. Again you are showing your political bias by stating you can't believe it happening on Christmas Eve. If evidence showed a huge spike in an area at that point of time , why wouldn't they lockdown started ?
    Also, no notice is actually better. When Italy first locked down Milan they gave several hours notice. The station was swarming with people heading South, or spreading across the country to get out before they were locked in. The ItalianGovt came in for some huge criticism for that. Yet when the UK Govt introduce measures with no warning to prevent a repetition , people like you criticise them. They can't win.

    In a face to face in a 'lively' pub debate I would still have called you an idiot (as in don't be so effin' daft) I suppose the manner in which it is delivered does not come across in text. I do not however call out people as 'c*nts' etc. as some do (not you I stress) on here for simply having strong opposing views. And I still think you are being 'effin daft':rolleyes:

    As for your 'Padrino' response.:) Hey!! ...Mostrami un po 'di rispetto;)
