Depends on how big it is and how many dudes you wanna try and fit in there

A warm bath with other people, no thanks.
What even is that scummy residue that floats on the top.
We shed about 40,000 skin cells a minute. So imagine Thor and another half dozen or so medallion men sitting farting and belching away for a few hours in his tub.

went to my local Working Mans club for an hour early Sat evening hand sanitiser on the doors and at the moment there only allowing members to come in so they already have your details.

People were sitting in groups but only in their bubbles I was with three other blokes (all at least a metre apart) and it was really good to actually talk to another human being in person and not on a screen.

Table service via app and the person bringing the drinks didn't even touch the glasses just put the tray on the table and you took your own drink off of it.

TBH the only real faff was ordering via an app which you had to put in your personal details each time, so next time you all just by a big round and only have to do it once.

And smoke.

Talking of smoke, can you explain how everyone getting up and going outside for a tab every 10 minutes was dealt with?

Wetherspoons breakfast this morning. Impressed by the Covid safe measures in place. They have clearly gone the extra mile to make sure they operate as safely as possible. I have no qualms about going again.

If my breakfast cost an extra 20p then it’s worth it. Didn’t buy booze, but an extra 10p, seems OK to me given what they are doing to keep me safe, their business running and their staff employed.

In fact our whole town centre has a very different look about it. One way systems, sanitisers everywhere, numbers limited in shops and being in town quite early, the amount of cleaning going on was encouraging to see. Surprised to see so much Covid safe stuff going on.

The new normal.

Sydney's like above. Limits on numbers allowed in pubs restaurants, different doors in and out if they can, sanitiser everywhere, you have to sign in so you can be tracked, etc

I didn't call you a liar. I was calling you a wummer - this has wum written all over it. I honestly didn't think you would be this stupid.

By the power of their mind what do you think.

Obviously someone had to serve it but the person delivering doesn't so there's minimal contact.

“This didn’t happen”. Is what you said. You got it wrong. Completely wrong. You know it, I know it. But if you choose to weasel out of it, fine. Maybe next time you won’t be so quick to have a pop.

I went to meet my mate lunch time in Muswell Hill , went into the local Wetherspoons but only had coffee , wasn't asked to supply any details at the door and the locals all seemed to be mingling and not worrying about social distancing , I left as soon as I drank my coffee 🤔🤔
