Sadly, over here people are just waking up to how serious this is. It's too bad we didn't do these things in January when it might have made a real difference.
We still have far too many people that don't think it's a big deal.
Of course, stupidly, the gun nuts are buying more guns and ammo. Bad as that sounds, most of these people are the ones who already have too many guns and ammo and do so at every crisis. Funny thing is, a lot of that ammo will likely go bad long before they try to use it no matter how well they think they stored it.

Apologies all for my very poor taste joke, it was thoughtless, I have deleted it I have left my reply, unless you want me to delete. Not poor taste, just a very corny dad joke. My comment was a groan rather than a criticism and as ZR says, we need humour even if the jokes are corny. But my reply was sent with a smile on my face (apologise if my choice of emoji was wrong) |

Certainly better than most things I read yesterday. |

My comment was a groan rather than a criticism and as ZR says, we need humour even if the jokes are corny. But my reply was sent with a smile on my face (apologise if my choice of emoji was wrong)  Hi Mikey, don't worry, I didn't delete because of your comment. I had shared the joke with friends on a number WhatsApp groups and without thought shared here too, as I consider this forum also to be a group of friends. Then a while later I was thinking hmmmmm the Full Moon Pub is open to the public, anyone could be looking in, which is a good thing of course, but some people are very worried, some may be mourning a loss, many may have lost jobs. Should I really be making a joke in public on that subject? I don't know. My nature agrees with ZR and gives a big fat YES I should, throughout my life and career it is what I have done, I've always tried to slip a bit of humour in as I think that is the best way of dealing with shitty situations but equally I would feel dreadful if I offended anyone. So I decided to delete and apologise, I perhaps over reacted, I probably did, but I don't want to hurt or offend anyone either. Personally, I do want to see jokes here, it's a fine line or is it? Perhaps we should open up the subject, what is the feeling of others that frequent this site? |

I'm left wondering about the poor taste joke, never saw it.
A freind set up a buisness 6 months ago, exceeded all his sales projections for food but no time to create a base load of regulars at a successful modern new build non premier league football club. The club has closed its doors, with tears in his eyes he told me on Monday he is closing next week, cant survive on takings of £50 day.
We need to support all sorts of business, taxes will need to increase next year. Maybe the NHS will get funding after years of austerity.
For some a joke is just what they need, for others its the last straw, a thin line.

Oh how funny, because I was going to post the very same joke on here but Facebook would not let me cut and paste so I didnt, left my post above with out it. Clearly this is a case of us both having the wurst sense of humour ever.

I'm going to have to do some digging later, we had a pair of joke threads that kinda got lost along the way. One was no politics allowed, because sometimes one needs a break from politics in any form 😉
