I must have missed the bit when he said there’d be a longer lockdown in the current form. As far as I’m aware it’s still set for review on May 7th, where I think there’ll be a SLIGHT reduction in measures.

I suspect in the next week or two, non essential shops will reopen IF they can do so with the measures supermarkets have in place. I also hope that we’ll be able to see family after May 7th.

I tried to find the article I found it on but can't.. Maybe I was day dreaming ? sorry for the fake news?

Yes haha, I think they've been using the same picture of those two scantily clad girls in -12 degrees for about 15 years now ??

Trouble with alcohol is you can drink at a level that's potentially damaging your health yet still always feel okay the next day.

Very true. Plenty of people are functioning alcoholics and hide it well. Imagine a lot of people have upped their drinking recently least of all me. First few weeks of lockdown I found myself drinking way too much particularly as full on self isolating and not being able to go out and run. I find the running is the thing that keeps the booze in check.
 
As for alcohol....probably half to watch my health and half because there's nothing else to do - I'm noting down how many units are on the bottle/can and writing them down so I don't average more than 24/week, the "old" recommended level. It's working too.

And then when the end of lockdown looms, I'm going dry for a week so I'll be ready to party.

But I think I've admitted to myself now that there will be no Ibiza or any foreign holiday/trip this year. Also thinking the first they will let us out properly will be Bloody Christmas, a time of year I despise and usually stay in...

I am! Massive Catholic family from burnopfield/Byermoor/Sunnyside. I loved spending summers up there. Although my DNA is over 50% Irish.

I know the area ? cold winters up there!

Yeah same mate, I'm a pure blooded God fearing Roman Catholic.

Grandad was Irish and Grandmother was Italian, so pretty inevitable.

Massive Irish family demographic in the West end.

I can drink a good few units in the evening, yet still get up at ~6:15am and get an hour's running in.

Not that long ago, I was trying to cut down to the recommended level of 14 units a week (there must have been a couple of weeks where I actually hit that level), but that is now well out the window. Could drink that over a couple of nights and honestly feel like I'd had nowt.

Haha fcuking hell, I remember seeing this at the time.

Imagine trying to explain that one to your missus! ? ?‍♂️

'err, I was out for a walk and felt a bit ill. Saw a red light and thought it was a hospital. Went in and met some very attentive ladies, so caring, but they wanted money up front' :rolleyes:

Life in the North East ?

I love Teesside, very down to earth sort of place.

Massive industrial area, I'm surprised Covid 19 even gets a look in around there with all the smog.

I've got my rigging/slinging tickets, and sometimes get jobs in the shipyards down there when I'm back home. Haverton Hill is an interesting place ?
