Man faints … must be the vaccine …. I remember fainting before my bcg vaccine in a hot school corridor . Now I stab myself with a needle 4x per day ffS 

Actually that Pandemic News account are the opposite of blaming it on the vaccine, they're very much behind the idea that covid is destroying our immune systems and that repeated infections will either kill or give long covid to everyone eventually.

The "mild" part of their Twitter handle is supposed to be ironic because people called omicron mild whereas they seem to believe that's just government propaganda to make infections acceptable.

There's a whole community like that and I still can't decide whether they're right or not! I follow a bit of all sides of the argument on that.

I have a mixture of despair at those fucking losers in that queue and fomo.

It’s title what could this be … kind of lead me to believe something we’re to blame other than someone fainting … anyway back to queenie … I think I’m going to work Monday for double time … normally I’d seek the option of a paid day off ., but can’t be assed with all this and everything will be closed

I'm definitely working - as a freelancer the hours I have to fulfill this month are the same regardless so a normal working day for me! Almost stubbornly so

FOMO on joining a 4.5 mile queue to look at a wooden box with a flag draped over it? Have you lost your fucking mind?

They look like their lives have meaning.

All I have done tonight is watch a few episodes of Bee and Puppycat.

I will be protesting the funeral on Monday by lying in the sun by a pool in Spain with a pina colada in my hand (well, probably a San Miguel, but same difference!)

I'm going to go down and join that queue tomorrow.

i'm all for queues :as long as i get Glastonbury tickets in the end. 🙂 

My girlfriend's mum said "well you'd do it for Glastonbury wouldn't you?" Our response was pretty much that we wish it was as simple as 30 hours in a queue....

People queue over night to get into the site.

Each to their own isn’t it.

They're queuing for 5 days of joy, mayhem, music & amazing memories - not 20 seconds of looking at a wooden box! Besides, anyone who queues overnight to get into Glastonbury needs their heads examined IMO - there's plenty of room later in the day!

They are doing it for those reasons and more power to them but others might not see it like that. That’s the thing isn’t it, everyone has their interests and reasons for doing things.

I meant more if I could queue 30 hours for a guaranteed ticket I'd be more than happy to do it! Would be less stressful than the actual ticket process

Would certainly cut the wheat from the chaff.

Let us know when you get to the front I’ll screenshot it … is it better than appearing on Glastocam ? 😂

We actually went to see this play which was bloody great: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/all-of-us

Made such a stark contrast to a load of people queuing to see a dead rich lady. Still a huge queue when we came out just now too.

Sorry, they're not going to see the rich dead lady. I meant queuing to see a box.

Only a few days till this is back on the agenda.

I genuinely keep forgetting who the prime minister is.

You should write a book.

Years back I used to post loads here. Neil supported me and I could easily have done a book. Still once I become an MP you can read my biography and all my convictions (seriously I have 5 for assault police). Vote Dave 

 

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Sorry I will continue. I went to one army unit and I was pulled up as in pencil on my record I had poked an RMP sergeant I'm the eye. I had bit he deserved a slap He was a bully and like coppers I don't like bullies. I was surprised I ever became an NCO

Queue currently 3.9 miles long, waiting time at least 11 hours. These people know what it's all about, not 5 days of excess and decadence with their middle class friends.

[steviewevie]

Also...Xi told Putin to fucking sort it out and we'll have some of your gas at a reduced price thank you very much.

[Neil]

they've banned the chinese president from the funeral, maybe they'll send the vice-president instead, careful how you say this!! "Wang Qishan"
