hehe FFS

It's open at the top smile

Just been over the park. Older chap in walking kit marching across the bracken with his Nordic sticks.

Mask on his face but under his nose, no one within 50m or so.

God help us.

Lol, love how in the video the guy says he feels self conscious in a mask, but he feels less self conscious in that thing!!

No, I've worn a mask a few times, it's a pain but I don't feel self conscious at all, that thing though, I'd feel a complete and utter tit wearing it!

You'll end up being called Dr. No and spend your spare time trying to topple rocket launches.

And when one sneezes, yuk....

I spotted a woman wearing what I could only describe as a transparent "cone of shame" in the shopping centre a few days ago.

I was disappointed at the lack of comedy themed masks on offer - ie flesh coloured with silly beards or snarling teeth or fangs etc, but TBF you couldn't look a bigger tit than that, that's the gold standard. Have the BBC asked for their doctor who props back yet?

Our Labrador had an operation last year, I think I still have the cone of shame somewhere, could probably use that...

That was my first thought. I have hayfever at the moment so I wouldn't be able to see where I was going after 5 mins.

pain when it rains too. maybe the whole thing should rotate with a wiper out of sight, similar to the onboard cameras on formula 1 cars.

A circular foldable cover for the top which clips onto the top would fix the exposed section! Mind you with the hot weather coming soon it might make more sense to leave it top down.

then it would fog up. You'd need to fit a demister.

What a dick! Da modun world. rolleyes
Then again, as an immigrant once said in the early 60s 'you could sell st to the Brits, as long as it wrapped up nicely.' I think he went on to make a fortune! He was right.

Anyway, where's Greta when you really need her?
When's the next Extinction Rebellion march against all this mass plastic usage? I'm sort of beginning to think I might join them. hehe

Plastic usage must be increasing a 100 fold in this pandemic. laugh

What is no laughing matter though is the mass use of it for screening in supermarkets etc.

I - unfortunately - forgot something on my shop yesterday so popped (well, not popped, fking queued for a an age with a mixture of coughing, obese, mobile phone natterers, and other people from all walks of life) into Sainsbury's to grab what I'd forgotten.

Went through the self-checkouts as I had 'cash' (almost forgotten what the fk it is?) as it was a smallish amount and I wanted to return to that old feeling of using 'cash'. Each self checkout now has huge plastic screening between every single self checkout.
Only some are card 'and cash'. First one I went to, because of screening, I was virtually touching other shoppers - who thought this out? - to get to a check out, stank of B.O. hurl
Went to one on opposite side and that stank too. hurl All the continuous spraying and wiping and unwashed people is having a new effect of 'Pong and shop' - and probably germ ridden.

Couldn't wait to get out! The lockdown was preferable.

Greta has popped up on today’s BBC News, the covid virus has demonstrated how Governments can quickly adapt when needs must. Unsurprisingly extrapolating this to the environmental issues but completely ignoring the financial armageddon the World has been plunged into due to the covid 19.
Oh the ‘mask’ tele tubby thing, err no thanks.

Don’t worry, the manufacturer is safe. If you died from drowning they’d put Covid-19 on the death certificate

I'm quite happy about this,

It feels like peak insanity.
