I'm more concerned as to how @nudgefound that game.

The wonders of Steam. 76% positive rating and developed by Boobs Dev. Not sure if you've heard of a developer initiative in the past called Steam Greenlight, whereby small developers could get a chance to shine on the Steam storefront. Unfortunately, it got littered with asset flips and utter shite, though a couple of random ones did slip through the cracks. I think there was one called What's Under Your Blanket? (which was literally a game about having a wank) and this cracker. https://store.steampowered.com/app/526370/SUPER_KINKY/

Ah ok. Roughly late evening/early morning for us then. A couple of my mates have actually booked tomorrow off work to see the results come in.

When do the results usually start to come in anyway?

Hence why I said a little part of me as let's be honest, things would kick off if Trump won. I'm not fussed on either, btw.

There's a little part of me that wants Trump to win just to simply see the outrage that'd happen. As for that Lady Gaga clip, that's the sort of thing that'd put me off voting for Biden more than anything.

Of course.

Ours pretty much said that last month. They'll most likely ask England to pick up the tab as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54416536

Welsh Labour Grassroots (our equivalent of Momentum) wants Corbyn's suspension to be lifted immediately. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-54778941

Funnily enough, that part in bold is the reason as to why we're in our lockdown (for Wales at least). To stop the NHS from being overwhelmed due to increased hospital admissions and that 'we're close to full capacity'. Similar as well that we have a lot of stats and figures given to us, but I don't think we've actually been presented the evidence as to why these decisions are made (of which the actual situation you posted is what I've read a little of online. Of course, it gets shouted down at because 'I'd rather listen to the Welsh Government and Public Health Wales' or 'They're in a better position to tell us than you are' by the lapdogs here.

Pretty much sums up my mam and a fair amount in Wales really. As I mentioned before, there are people who've happily defended the non essential item ban by using the virus as the excuse ('they want people to be in and out quicker', 'people might hang around longer when looking at these non essential items', 'this is to stop the NHS from being overwhelmed' and 'stop being selfish and think of others who could die from this' are the common ones I've seen). While I do think Drakeford is handling this better than Boris (not hard really), we're going to the point of being so over cautious that this could damage us at the other end of the scale (economic reasons, unemployment etc) that people can't see. It doesn't help that we don't have media outlets or opposition that actually challenge the Welsh Government mind (the media are basically used for Welsh Government propaganda more often than not, while any form of opposition is drowned out because' nasty Tories', an arse licking party in Plaid and a non existent Lib Dem) while the general public will defend them at all costs to the point that they can't think for themselves. Goes back to @nudge's point really whereby you get new articles or announcements that make things worse and continuously spread fear. I remember a week or two ago where Gething mentioned that 'we hit a record high of infections recorded in the pandemic'. It was about 1,100 - 1,300, which while he is correct in his statement, he failed to mention that we didn't have the capacity at the beginning to test that many people from the off (we were barely hitting four figures for the first couple of months).

Been reading that some people in England have been stockpiling again prior to the lockdown.

Too close to the border with us for my liking. I suggest nuking Bristol from orbit and preferably taking Newport with them.

Kambosos wins against Selby by split decision. God knows what the one judge thought at 118 - 110 as I didn't see it that one sided at all.

Has anything been announced yet for England (not watching it as I'm watching the Liverpool game)? Sturgeon has said no one in Scotland is allowed to travel to or from England as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-54760388

Ah ok. Not really sure with some of these Also, you must all gag yourselves for the remainder of this pandemic, as chatting indoors is now being blamed for the spike in cases before lockdown. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54733688 So that's students, pubs, communities and general chatting blamed for increases, but stopping people from buying non essential items will sort all of this out. Also, some gym owners may now consider breaking future lockdown rules unless scientific proof is provided. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54689877

I'd like to think so, but I just feel that they may still do something like that anyway. Who's James Cleverly?

According to the below BBC article, we might not see '2019' normality for five years. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54661843 I hope that's not a sign for the Welsh Government to do rolling lockdowns for the full five years (I very highly doubt they will, but I wouldn't put it passed them and expect England to pay for each one).

Been released that Labour broke equalities law regarding anti-semitism during Corbyn's leadership, saying that his office had 'politically interfered' with the complaints process. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54730425 Be interesting to see how the likes of Momentum react to this.

What? I thought it was Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 for all of England now? Fair play, no one wants to make this nice and simple.

I don't think they'll rush this myself, but most will rush them out just for the shareholders (basically EA, Ubisoft, Activision, anything under Take Two's banner etc). Consumer be damned and all that.

That sucks. I'm not clued up on other countries but how are the Netherlands generally coping (ie. is the full lockdown required, is it an over reaction etc)? Also (and I can't believe I'm going to post this) : Woman: Excuse me, could I buy some period products please? Tesco: Nah love. The Welsh Government told us not to sell these items as they're non essential. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54685886 EDIT: I will stop as I realise that I've taken up the last page or two, but as a final bit for anyone wanting to understand the quality of Walesonline's proofreading, they did an article with Tesco in St. Mellons explaining why the sanitary aisle was cordoned off. It was apparently due to a break in that the police confirmed. I'm not 100% sure whether the break in has already happened or whether the break in is currently taking place as of this current time (3:50pm).

Pretty much. As I mentioned to DeadLinesman above, we can say what we like about it but you don't act like what that guy did over it.

Fair point you made and I admittedly didn't think that. I was thinking more of a generalisation with the example. Yep. Face masks were made mandatory last month and must be worn in shops and public transport. Yeah, I agree with that really. Think what you like with these restrictions but you don't need to be a bellend over it.

This post pretty much sums up the whole point of why Drakeford's decision on what is and isn't essential is ridiculous (not a dig at you in any way, Rucksackfranzose). As I mentioned before, what is essential to some will not be essential to others, as different people have different needs. To give a rough example of what I mean, here's a snippet of an article that I'll post a link to a bit further down. Drakeford has since come out and said that this will not be reversed (as heaven forbid he could ever make a mistake). However, to make this farcical even better, they're now saying that the rules 'may be tweaked', 'there is discretion within the rules' and that 'a review into how the rules were implemented would be held on Monday'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54676457 Let's remind ourselves that supermarkets and other shops were not informed of what is essential (and can be sold) and what is non essential (what can't be sold) about 5 hours before the lockdown actually began (hence the whole covering up and blocking of aisles you've seen). When you have to review your very own rules after 2 of 17 days into a lockdown that you announced (and had leaked) a week ago, you've clearly fucked up.
