Just found out that a brilliant ex colleague & good friend has died of covid, from what I can gather it happened really quickly, he was only a couple of years older than me & was a fit guy although a smoker, to be honest I am shocked, I spent 18 months on permanent nights with him & we worked together on many occasions, we always shared a bloody good laugh, he could tell a joke & have you crying with laughter before the punchline, he will be sadly missed

Very sad.

Found out a bit more about my friends mum, she hadn't left the house since it all started, while not in the best of health she went from what was her 'normal' to death in little more than a day.

Can't help thinking that the idiots out there who are ignoring the rules would act differently if this sort of stuff landed on their doorstep.

I was chatting to a very good friend on Zoom earlier and couldn't believe the arrangements he and his kids have made to visit his grandchild that is expected in the next week or so - three generations being put at risk, about twelve people in total,driving a coach and horses through the rules and they are justifying it by 'we want to see grandchild'.

Sorry to read about your mate, Dezza derek kelly. RIP

Andrew, you saw my post in the Covid thread about those two silly women in Cardiff that had travelled over from London for the day. In the beginning, I thought it was just idiot, entitled millennials being stupid. However, I’m now of the view that stupidity doesn’t discriminate.
