haha, amazing, not your situ obviously, but their world beating system is no joke.
Got a friend who lives in Shildon so kinda close to Darlo etc, disabled parent who’d def fall into the high risk category started showing symptoms, closest test available was Carlisle…
I’m a dumb fuck compared to these politicians but telling people to go the the pub, money off a Nando’s and basically bottle Necking where people can go on holiday, to me, sounds like a good way of fucking it all up.
Anyone find it odd they restricted Greece just as the school holidays ended and not before? How many cabinet members were out there then?

Fuck man I had a c19 test on advice from doc. Someone phoned me up to arrange an appointment, (next day). Drove through, no queue, swab done, test results back in 12 hours, wallop.
Also negative test.
Got to say they got healthcare fucking dialled here

Sorry to everyone who’s having a tough time arranging a test, wasn’t trying to rub it in, it’s gnarly in UK right now.

I’ve always wanted to visit Aberdeen, I hear it’s quite nice. How long until that new car of yours arrives? Could be a nice little test drive for you.

Aberdeen is shite.
But there’s some decent places nearby.
Was brought up in one of the decent places nearby Aberdeen, and the city always has fond childhood memories for me.
Grey is a good word for it though.
Stonehaven?
Christ no, Cruden Bay.

Oh dear.
My son has a bit of a cold, sore throat and blocked nose to be specific, so we’ve kept him home today.
Just waiting to hear from the school anticipating some sense of panic.
Hope they don’t make us test etc.
Can’t be doing with the drama.
I can get tested through work but not sure if that extends to household members / children.
I can’t be doing with the hassle of chasing tests that I’ve been reading about here and seeing on the news.
Ah man that sucks. Hope he gets better ASAP. Did you get a test in the end?
Rest of the family holding up ok? @anon83623327
That’s good for everyone else. I feel bad because I was sent an extra test a few weeks ago by accident - I think I must have ordered it twice by mistake.
So have one in my house

I think the codes on that test are now assigned to me.
I guess you could just give @anon83623327 sons sample, then it just does under my name. I only remembered I had it in the drawer this morning.

Someone highlighted that flaw in the parliamentary discussion earlier and it was deemed to be ‘gaming the system’ and not on.
The MP who brought it to light said that people were using a postcode in Aberdeen then getting a test in Twickenham.
If there’s a loophole and people are desperate, don’t be surprised if they use means available to them to get it.

The other MP actually used the term first.
He just latched onto it in his answer.
