I work from home but genuinely WORK.....if your furloughed you should be doing something constructive not sitting on your arse watching daytime TV, you never going to get this much paid leave again.

The number fluctuates between 114,000 spectators and 150,000 depending on how severe the famine was in that particular year

Why are you concerned what others are doing with their time?

This big time!
Ding Dong !
Boy I'm HOT today !
My wife, In-laws or brother in-law wouldn't have a scooby !!!
Well done you......but pontificating about what others should be doing (being furloughed isn’t working from home anyway, it’s not working) isn’t going to change much. I think there are a lot of people enjoying being furloughed far too much.

Many of the furlough people are in low paid shitty jobs can’t blame them for enjoying it.
Indeed.......even on 80% of wages they are probably better off once you take off the cost of going to work.

You have evidence of that ?
I just want to start work again. It's a job I really enjoy. But I may be losing it at the end of July as my line of work is the last to start again- if at all for some considerable period of time.
How I'm going to find another job in any reasonable time is beyond me. It took months to get this one.
So it's no joy. Actually, I've been utterly depressed at times.
Loads of people go back on June 15th. I stay here with the four walls.

I'm still on 100% income but working at home and finding it quite difficult. I have neither the mobility, the assumption of invulnerability of the youth nor the sense of entitlement of a Cummings to find this pleasurable. I think we have the right to comment dismissively only on our own elevated circumstances, if our circumstances are elevated, in this situation. Otherwise, for the nature of my reply to the dismissive, see Pressdram vs Arkell.

Well, if you had a team that a lot of people wanted to watch and you didn't even have to pay the players (officially, anyway) wouldn't you want 100k paying customers per game? Kerching!
There's a reason the Clemson Tigers could afford to throw money at a mini golf course to keep a player happy.

Talking of quiz questions reminds me of the great Jim Bowen....." In what city in America was President Kennedy assassinated in...in Dallas, Texas ".

4pm is hardly daytime tv. I go to work about 4.30am and get home about 3.00 - 3.30 ish. That time is approaching teatime for me. Its time for a cuppa and Minder or Salvage Hunters or Tipping Point or the daily government briefing! I guess if you are not starting work at home until 9.00 - 10.00 then you are probably still working at 4.00pm. I couldn't give a toss about people sitting at home doing nothing on 80% money apart from when they start on about how desperate they are FOR A HOLIDAY!!!
A few people I know have indicated very much that......similarly those working from home are hoping they can do so for as long as possible - but also conscious not everyone will feel the same. Hope things work out.
