Living life on autopilot is really becoming tiresome to me, the strain lockdown causes on relationships and mental health is going to be felt for years to come from this, I regard myself as quite strong mentally but I’m near to my breaking point, I think if by Spring things aren’t better quite a few are going to lose all hope.

It’s an absolute time vampire is lockdown, feels like time is just wasting away.

He indicated that it’s essentially a repeat of last spring’s lockdown so assuming all sport stops :shrug:

Outdoor team sports will not be permitted, but professional sports, including the Premier League, may continue.

I am so sorry.

You need to do what is right for you, that is possible. They cannot enforce everything.

Well, the subtext of the message has always been this: the British public have excellent judgement and should be trusted. It is not the job of the government to tell people what to do. That would be very wrong.

Many on NSC will read that and nod, knowingly.

Anyway, I'm off to sniff a line of ants, inject myself with an armful of heroin and enjoy tonight's match. It's my life and I'll do what I want. :shrug:

Make the most of it will be the last one for 2 months ( football that is )

From the BBC:

Amateur team sports are not allowed, but elite sport such as Premier League football can continue

Fair enough.
A continuation of mixed messages which will embolden those who don’t think it’s real
