If figures stay on the current trajectory, then lockdown basically finishes in 3 weeks time: y’all can leave the house, non-essential shops open, tourism open. All schools back 15th March. Pubs / nightclubs highly likely stay closed a bit longer. Sadly, it's the pubs that matter to me (and indeed to them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommencement of the pointless football season for me. Catch up with the gang face to face and talk random shit for 2 hours with some football going on in the background. Then, to stand in Cardiff Market, mug of tea in hand, watching the world go by and getting some random herbs from Clancy’s. Then, a walk around a different park that isn’t walking distance from my house. I know that last one is a bit ‘first world problem’ but it would be nice to see something a bit different, even I would admit Cardiff has a better castle than Barry, and better record shops.

Top of my wish lists are - schools reopening (I’ve seen the degradation in my children’s mental health over the last few weeks). They really need to go back. - outdoor sports (for my son who is lost without the physical exertion of football, and also for me wanting to watch him play). I can take or leave pubs tbh.

Genie Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Someone I grew up with at some point became Welsh, I’ve no idea when it happened but he became extremely proud of his Welsh heritage and moved there last year. Anyway, this was his take on the announcement Quote Its time for review Friday in good old Wales and sir cockwomble has dished us out another 3 weeks of lockdown even though the rate has dropped well below one. He wants all the primary schools back but has promised little in the way of vaccinations for carers of children, teachers or transportation services! Borders still shut but now you can exercise with two people from another household. So read into it what you will, your kids will share classrooms with hundreds of other kids yet again spreading the shite putting keyworkers at risk but its ok because you can go for a walk with a mate and everything will be rosey. What a cock! Edited February 19, 2021 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2021 Pubs being open would be great, but I’d be happy just to be able to mix households and have a few mates over for drinks and talk rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I’d say Drakeford and Gething performed better than their opposite numbers in N.I and England, but that’s not exactly setting the bar very high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blacked out at Wembley when McGinn scored, full on, came round on the floor a few seconds afterwards, no idea how it happened! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bashed my elbow really really badly during the celebration when McGinn scored and the bloke in front of me was lying on the floor for most of it, no idea why. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when that one journalist was given the leak, but she couldn't access her Twitter account for some reason, so a different journalist posted it and credited it to her? Ahh, the sweet smell of journalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
