My bad, an utter dumb brain fart moment.

I think you have to pre-book your space in the car park, don’t you? Or have the estate ditched that now that all that nasty COVID thing’s finished with?
Edit: Just realised I meant to be asking @nedertron.

Yup had to pre-book the slot. £9. There were a lot of people litter picking.
I fucking hate Michael Fabricants who leave rubbish at the beach. The amount of random shit I picked up in the few square metres around us was bad.
So many ciggy butts as well. I smoke as well but it’s a piece of piss to just put them all in an empty coke can or whatever.

I was meant to be going to watch a mate’s band play the other night. Been looking forward to it, seeing loads of people I’ve not seen for ages. Anxiety got the better of me and I didn’t go. The gig was even outdoors but I couldn’t really face the prospect of going in and out of a rammed pub to buy drinks.
Iv had enough now, doing this shit with essentially a one a bit year old till now (he’s 3 in 4 months) I have to do stuff.
Cause everyone in here is generally great with advice, how do you respond to a really good friend who keeps trying to convince you to not get vaccine and sending links to support their claims? I’ve already said multiple times we’re not going to agree but they won’t listen.
The hardest part is trying to argue against some of the points. As an example this morning they have sent me all legit links of companies here in Aus that have stopped selling life insurance. Though each of the pages don’t say it’s specifically because of Covid/vaccinations.

Get vaccinated so they can’t tell you not to have the vaccines?

Just say as a true friend they should respect your decision and it should be left at that.

use their own catchprases against them ‘my body/my choice’ etc and also tell them they’re acting like you’ve signed up to a jehova’s witness mailing group. If they’re bent on being ignorant around vaccines perhaps just help to make them a little more self-aware regarding their actions toward others.
also - how long is your wait? I got september 23rd. You’re in melbourne, right?
Yeah I just responded to him saying we’re not gonna agree like I said before and I’m not going to change my mind like you aren’t, but the difference is I’m not trying to convince you to get the vaccine. He responded with how it’s proven to be an experiment/is still in trial phase 
. I’m 21st and in Melbourne. Are you here too?
In Sydney - and at the very least stuck in a council with some beaches and skateparks.

If anyone tried to convince me of their beliefs after I told them that I believe otherwise, then I’d just disengage with them quietly and start ignoring them.

It’s a difficult one really. People’s minds are in such a state with this that he might think he was being a shite friend if he didn’t do all he could to save you from a terrible mistake. Bit like Jehovah’s witnesses at my door. I can’t be too angry, they think that they’re trying to help people. If it was someone who I’d previously regarded as a good friend then I’d just humour them, then when they move onto something else just never mention it again.
Humour him, visit him in hospital, but don’t bring it up if you can avoid it.
