I can’t brush my hair because it hurts my scalp too much. There isn’t a single part of my body that isn’t in pain. This shit is serious, I’m usually fit and healthy and this has completely knocked me down.
Human stupidity will truly be the end of the world.

I remember being like that with adult chicken pox, I had to teach myself to French braid to avoid brushing my hair too often. Hope you feel better soon

Maybe I’m being contrary but I quite enjoy the odd thicko frother, it’s a contrast to all the thicko frothers acting like there are police snipers stationed in every bush waiting to shoot anyone who opens their front door more than twice in a day, even if you live on a desolate moor a hundred miles from the nearest person.
I wonder where all the freeman on the land types have gone.

Lots of elderly people we've spoken to in the past few days aren't happy about being locked in & are talking about still going out.
I'll follow the rules as closely as I can, so I can maintain a clear conscience, but I totally get where they're coming from - we're in a pretty rural setting, so it's possible to leave your house, walk through the woods/fields and not see anyone. And to be honest, the UK doesn't have a Police & Military heavy structure like a lot of the EU countries do - so the chances of them getting caught are pretty much zero...

Message from MNHQ: Hi all, "We've had this thread reported a lot and we're going to take it down. We know (of course we know, we're in lockdown too, she says shooing her children back to Joe Wicks) that everyone's a bit freaked out, and maybe apt to be more unreasonable, emotional, just plain 'not themselves' so we're trying not to judge anyone on their behaviour right now. We'll take this one down, as it's not really helping, and hope that as things re-set and we find our new normal that we will all cope well and support each other in the fine tradition of MN. Much love to us all. Stay safe, gang. x"

Crazy talk

If anything needs to be shut down it is that entire fucking MN Corona forum.
Half of them are latent fascists, just eager for some GREAT STRONGMAN to come and depose Boris Johnson (deemed too weak already). The GREAT STRONGMAN will impose 24/7 curfew and have the troops on the streets; anyone who so much as sticks their nose out of the window will get a bullet through the brain for breaking curfew. "What part of stay home don't you understand!!!!!!" What part of I have no food in the house don't they understand?
And for the fucking strongman, see: https://youtu.be/mLKR-yfhNew?t=173
The other half want to stick to "the rules" but in perverse ways; for them, it's better to go for one walk with the dog that lasts 3 hours than to go for 2 walks in a day that last 30 minutes each: "the rules" say only one outside walk per day. The idea that 3 hours outside might be more harmful than 1 hour, taken in two lumps, absolutely evades what passes for their brains.
The idea that a walk in a deserted field in rural Northumberland might have a lesser risk than walking down London Bridge also passeth their understanding.

The perverse sticking to the rules makes me laugh. No don't take the dog out twice a day to use a field that you pay to use and where you never see anyone else, do you want to kill people!! But Boris is a disaster and a coward. Nothing about having fascist tendencies, just recognising that thousands of people will die if nothing happens.

They've Done it. The Government Have Put The whole UK In Lockdown.66
Today 08:04MissyJane2
Well I went out yesterday a 7 in the evening. An hour later I got told by the train guard at the train station that the government has just put us on Lockdown in our homes. He showed me the news broadcast on his I Phone to prove it.
I did not believe it at first then I went to the Tesco Express a smaller Tesco store that's like a corner shop and the man in there told me the same thing.
First thing I asked was can I go to Romford Town Center tomorrow even though if live in Goodmays which is a 10 minute bus ride away?
He said" I don't know you have to phone 999 and ask their permission!"
So I said NO I am not asking permission to go anywhere I am just gonna do it. I am not going to obey this law locking me in my home. I would rather go to prison.
And I have told everybody I have talked to this and they all agree with me that this lockdown is a violation of our human rights. And something you would expect to happen in dictatorship countries like Iran and Chile not here in England.
When I got home I turned on the TV and played back the 8.30 broadcast I recorded by the Prime Minister and sure enough he has indeed put us on Lockdown. Not just London but the whole of the UK including Scotland and Wales(though I am not sure about Northern Ireland)
But yes we are on Lockdown. Although it is not as stricer curfew as what China, Spain and the other counties who have done it have got.
We Can go out as long as it's for buying food and essentials such as food and medcines and household goods like toilet paper.
So far there is no restriction as to how many times or days a week but only once a day.
We can go out to the park to exercise as long as only 1 or 2 people in our household go and must not gather in groups.
We can go out to work if our jobs do not permit us to stay at home.
Carers and NHS and essential workers such as Pharmacy staff and food shop and supermarket workers can go out to their jobs.
All the rest of the public cannot leave our homes unless it is to buy food. Any other reason is not allowed.
But it will never work and I am, NOT going to comply with this stupid law.
I mean sure I won't go to London but I will still go to my local areas. And for once I glad that the big supermarkers do not have a lot of food and also because they are rationing it.
We have to go our nealy every day to get our food from other shops that may not be in the same town we live in to stock up. Because our supermarket where I live does not have anything and we are only rationed to 2 items of each. Which is not enough to feed us so we have to go to the nearby shopping centre in the next town to get what we need.
So I figure as long as when we go out and buy someing. If we get stopped by the police we just show them our food or tins of beans in our shopping bags. And if they ask why did you not shop in your street?
We say the Tesco where I live has got nothing so I had to come into Romford or Ilford to get my food as I have nothing in the house. Or I have a family of 3 kids to feed and have to go out to get our food because I live in a small town and their are no shops.
Which is true of a lot of people. And public transport will still be running. So there are ways to beat the system.
As for the going out only one a day.Well how will they know we are going out more than that if we don't tell them? Here is the video anyway.
What do you think about this. I know I am not happy about it at all.

Tragically it went before I snaffled the other 50 messages

I'm glad they explained what Tesco Express is , otherwise us bumpkins up north would never had known what they were on about
I know I was in surprise at learning there is such a thing as Tesco Express
I felt a bit sorry for the Tesco Express guy having to answer her bollocks about fucking Romford, well assuming any of that ramble happened.
