Passing the Time With Championship Manager *Updated March 31st*

So as Boris has told me to stay at home I'm passing the time by playing as Norwich City on old Championship Manager games. I tried the first one but quickly gave up because of the made-up players.

Quickly moving on to CM93, and ten games in Norwich have achieved mid-table respectability. Efan Ekoku is the top scorer in the Premier League, and I signed a young Italian by the name of Christian Vieri.

Fuck You, and the Cars You Drove In On #coronavirus #Cromer

To all you fuckwits and cockwombles who came into my hometown of Cromer this past weekend, despite the government and the medical types advising you to stay at home.

To all of those who lined up outside our takeaways and crowded into our gift shops, treating what is a national emergency as a nice day trip to the seaside.

Fuck you.

I was prepared to put my health at risk for the likes of you. I really wanted to work for companies like Morrisons and Tesco, companies that are crying out for employees because people like you have treated this whole coronavirus thing like a great big fucking joke.

The Strange World of Coronavirus and Job Hunting

The past few days have been quite strange with regards to job searching. It went from almost nothing to most of the big local supermarkets looking for staff to cope with the demand caused by the coronavirus panic buying.

This also conincided with the news that the Department for Work & Pensions have cancelled all face-to-face appointments, with all benefit payments made automatically for at least the next three months.

I have to admit that this has left me in two minds. On one hand I've applied for a lot of these new jobs, simply because I want to work and I want to help.

But on the other hand I have a heart condition and I may be one of those who is at risk. I've not only heard all of the horror stories about panic buying, I've also seen some pretty nasty things myself. When I see what's happening, when I hear about some of the abuse retail workers are getting at the moment I think to myself thank fuck I'm not working at the moment.

Should I Even Bother Looking for a Job Right Now? #coronavirus

Here's an example of how things have changed over the past day or so:

Normally I average about ten to fifteen job applications per day. In the past three weeks I've had seven interviews.

Today's job search yielded just 1 possible application. Just 1. And I'm not even sure if I should bother applying because of the current situation.

Makes me wonder if I should even bother looking at the moment.

It's Not The End of the F**king World! #coronavirus

If you're looking for basic painkillers such as paracetomol and ibuprofen in Cromer you'll be lucky to get any.

I take them twice a day for three long-term injuries, plantar fasciitis (soft tissue damage) in my left foot, frayed cartilage in my right knee, and tendonitis in my right shoulder. Because you're only allowed to buy one pack of each from a shop I normally do the rounds in town once a week or so. I normally buy the cheap stuff because I'm on JSA.

But today was an almost fruitless exercise. Superdrug, Boots and Lloyds had nothing. Iceland only had ibuprofen. Co-Op in the town centre, QD and Morrisons had nothing, although I was able to get some well-known brand name cold capsules in Morrisons, which are quite a bit more expensive than the cheaper Morrisons ones.

The World Needs a Good Slap #coronavirus

You know, there's a big part of me what would like to grab the world by it's shoulders, give it a good shake, and then slap it around the face and tell it to stop acting like a bloody idiot.

Finding a New NHS Dentist is a Pain in the Arse

So I thought that now as the old ticker is more or less sorted l'll get the nashers done, but finding a new NHS dentist who'll take me on is a pain in the arse.

Sheringham won't take me back because I didn't make an appointment to see them last year, and they won't bend their rules a little even after I told them that the reason I couldn't see them last year was because I was ill.
