Went and looked and my old man was trying to post a steak bridie he'd got for me through my letterbox  This is the type of shit my old man would do. Apparently yesterday he went out to pick up ironing he'd dropped off at a shop, and was bemused that it wasn't seen as an essential service and therefore closed  Also got cash out the bank for some reason  (03-25-2020, 10:17 AM)Walter Boycechak Wrote: Your phone will be self isolating for its own safety soon

21 year old with no underlying health conditions has died.
Wonder if all these spangles who were still out and about socialising last week might finally start getting the message now.

Just had the bairn's nana on the phone asking if she can have him for a few days since she's off work. What is it boomers aren't getting about this?

We've had 738 deaths here in Madrid yesterday and they've had to turn the ice rink into a makeshift morgue. Doctors and nurses complaining about not having enough equipment as well
Auld duffers and alkies still hanging about on benches together though. Fucking arseholes

I've a feeling that many of the auld timers are just being pragmatic about it. May seem reckless but many grew up in times when their elders barely lived beyond 70 years of age, of which many perished from pneumonia. That's a generalisation based on a very small sample size. It's my explanation anyway.

It's my explanation anyway. The average age for people to die in the 1950s wasn't much lower than it is nowadays; once you get rid of childhood disease people were still making it reguarly to their 60s and 70s. Old people today didn't live through the levels of hardship known to prior generations; all but the oldest nowadays know nothing but full free healthcare, unemployment and pensions. Older people aren't behaving like this because they're not used to seeing people get beyond the age of 70; they're acting like this because their generation is highly individualistic and and their sense of social obligation is undermined by their ability to satisfy themselves.

You can apply any narrative you like to this. Truth is that young and old people are breaking the rules, probably because there is a proportion on each age group that fancy taking their chances.

All kicked off in Asda Newhaven earlier - some junky was practically leaning against my bursd and she told him to bolt, he then dropped his bottle of vodka and was getting screamed at by his junky wife. We had the teenagers smashing bus and flat windows last night.
I'd guess Leith doesn't see the other side of this before it becomes a lawless den. |
