    Yet Another Concert Tragedy - Houston, Texas

    in Random Samples

    Posted

    Was at Monsters of Rock 1988, quite near the front during GnR set. Crush happened down the right of the crowd, I was on the left. Two died. Makes you think about what can happen.

     

    Also, at one of the Metallica Milton Keynes shows there was a surge and in front of me was a girl maybe 5 foot tall. I had to use arms to form a barrier against the back of the person in front of her to stop her getting hurt.

    What Made You Laugh Today?

    Wasn't today, was Saturday but my girlfriend placed an order through Amazon Prime (Morrisons) for some food and beer.

     

    This was after a "quiet drink" with a couple of friends on Friday. A quiet drink because my girlfriends sister was coming to ours for a beer for the first time in ages.

     

    The "quiet drink" consisted of 39x Bud (300ml), 15x Coors (330ml), 3x Tiger(660ml), 3x Tyskie(660ml), 8x Fosters(440ml) and 1 bottle of Dead Mans Finger Lime Rum - between 4 people.

     

    Next morning she placed the order and along with some more beer for when her sister came down, we got some crisps (chips) and some other bits and 10 :eh: cauliflowers.

     

    Guess what we are having for the next few days.

    Who has the virus?? Tell us when you get it.

    I have it, no symptoms though. Girlfriend also has it, no symptoms.

    Nothing? How do you know you both have it? What made you get tested? I'm just very curious. One of my buds, who was in perfect health, is now battling for his life. I work very closely with him. Ten days since and I don't have any symptoms, just minor sinus issues. Company made me get tested to days later, of course negative...

     

    We got tested as we car share with our boss at work so were in close proximity for 10-15 minutes in enclosed area. He tested positive on the Saturday and rang me to let us know to isolate. Over that weekend, others from work got symptoms so got tested and were positive, so we thought we would be better getting tested than not.

     

    In all, nearly 20 of us at work were positive with some getting it worse than others.

     

    We do have a tickly cough, but not continuous like they say in the list of symptoms. Also a change in taste/smell but not a full loss. Had a Chinese takeaway the other night and it tasted as though someone had poured a full bag of salt over it. Sweet things and fruit taste fine, some other foods taste saltier than normal.

    Gonna have to reschedule mine. Got to isolate. Boss at work (who we get a lift home from) tested positive so he told us to isolate.

     

    "Us" being me and my girlfriend as we work at same place.

    Keeping fingers crossed for you both. Take care

     

    Thanks.

     

    Luckily we didn't get it bad. I have lost a little sense of smell but not fully. Girlfriend had a rough weekend of not sleeping properly.

     

    Just need to try and re-schedule for vaccine - needs to be at least 4 weeks after isolation.

    :hug2: Hugs to you both! I'm glad it's not causing you problems.

     

    Thanks. Hopefully we don't get any symptoms, else we have to start isolating over again. We are due back in work next Thursday.

     

    We are OK working from home, but because of the number of cases at work the more that can go back in the better.

     

    I think after a year of lockdowns, and only having 3 workers test positive (and none actually at work) we got a bit too relaxed. Now we have 15 positives, mine (and girlfriends) being due to car sharing with our boss..

    Girlfriend got a text yesterday saying she should book for the vaccine as she has underlying health issues. She doesn’t have any she knows of, so thinks it must be because of her weight. Last time at doctors (a few years ago) she was probably about 20 stone, now around 15.5 stone (and still dropping).

    This weight has been lost over the last 10 months.

    She is getting the first jab just before Easter.
