How will GFT look when we re-open?
Social distancing guidelines will mean that GFT will re-open with reduced capacity in all of its screens, using only approximately 20% of normal capacity. This means that the significant majority of seats will be kept vacant to allow adequate spacing of customers. Initially there will be fewer screenings per day, to avoid bottlenecks and to ensure we have the time for enhanced cleaning to be done between shows.
going to the cinema sounds like it will be fairly miserable

the whole "cuddly community fascist" tone of UK police Twitter accounts is enough to give the lie to Starmzy even if every other thing wasn't enough to give the lie to etc etc

And in the same edition, an astonishing lack of irony from Vikram Dodd over Met āfunding fearsā. Not a sentence on BLM, or the suddenly thinkable demands to defund police departments.https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jul/01/police-warn-of-cuts-to-funding-even-worse-than-in-austerity-years

so the 'New Deal' in Cornwall is basically enough money to upgrade a single roundabout (Ā£14m). the largest allocation is to the South East, which gets enough for some fairly minor A-road improvements or ~four miles of railway (Ā£85m). and it's not new money https://t.co/AZgHoisB4e— Jon Stone (@joncstone) July 2, 2020

Got to say I share the astonishment that it costs Ā£14m to upgrade a roundabout.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 2 July 2020 08:53 (four years ago) link
chucking a bit of chump change about after a decade of austerity sure does remind me of FDR's radical spending plan.
― calzino, Thursday, 2 July 2020 08:54 (four years ago) link
That really depends on the roundabout and the upgrade, Matt.

Haha maybe in (or near) a pub sometime.

I'll do the roundabout for 7 mil, where do I write for my cheque?

They're renovating the swimming baths round the corner from me and there's a sign up saying it's a million pound project and I just can't imagine. The scaffolders that were up there the other day must be minted.

around the time the hostile environment ended I think

@MaxTundra37mWild that Corbyn fans are out there criticising Starmer for adopting a different strategy to the guy who gifted Johnson an 80-seat lead. What happened to āget the Tories outā?

love Max but he's always been a bit melty and wish he wouldn't talk about it, same goes for a lot of other artists on twitter

So basically an semi-informed semi-celebrity called Max is going to indulge in a bit of vote-shaming every Thursday from now on?
Meanwhile, schools basically back to normal in September with all the difficult stuff left to headteachers to decide.

my son is going back tomorrow. they've closed the dinner hall and food is brought to the classroom, they have a serious social distancing regime as much as is possible for an autism school. They have fucked off local authority transport and doing in-house transport. He is only going one day a week to acclimatise him to the new regime. Barnsley where about three quarters of the staff come from is a Rona hotspot, so I'm slightly nervous about all this still.

i know how important respite can be for everybody involved, best to hold onto that thought and trust the teachers to do their best

not had a day off for 5 months and I'm running out of t shirts and on the verge of becoming a f/t smoker again so a day is needed!
it's nice to know that Tundra sometimes takes a break from venturing on a Fantastic Voyage up his own arsehole to do smalltalk and make great music, what a relief!
