Update from The House of Plague, Day 18

[elisi]

First of all, if you're in the UK, go to this post by thissterlingcrew:

Petition calling for a compensation scheme to support the families of frontline professionals who die from CVID-19, equivalent to the one for members of the armed forces.

And today (Oh Lord [Byron]*, it's Friday! Hurrah!), only three videos, but they are funny (all from facebook, SORRY):

It's a f*cking lockdown (Malcolm Tucker, in The Thick of It)

Isolating with the Derry Girls

Father Ted - Every Shared Flat Right Now


*From dollsome's classic - 10 months old!! - Good Omens fic: i'd like for you and i to go romancing:

Aziraphale doesn’t know how to untangle any of that, so he picks out the easiest part of the reply. “‘Lord.’ That’s very pious language.”

“Not necessarily. Could mean anybody. Could be ‘Lord Byron.’ In fact, from this point on, it's always Lord Byron.”

"More tunneling through shit and no fucking redemption." Sounds about right.

[elisi]

Yeah... (I'm pleased I made this icon of the depressed cat. It sums things up nicely.)

[wolfy_writing]

Ooh, yeah, that's great!

[elisi]

When I have a few more, I'll probably make an icon post. :)

Ok, the Derry Girls thing was exactly what I needed right now.

The Derry Girls make me glad I'm in quarantine by myself.

[elisi]

LOL

Every cloud has a silver lining...

[promethia_tenk]

Yeah, I have never been so happy to have my own apartment, closet-like though it may be.

[masakochan]

Thank you for those clips- especially the Derry Girls one. xD

[elisi]

You're very welcome! :) :)

Comedy gold!

Have signed the petition and pimped it all over the place. If our support services everywhere don’t get a massive pay rise I hope there will be an outcry!!

I sincerely hope so. Surely they can't continue to call all these people 'low skilled' and underfund/sell off the NHS? Surely?
