Pattaya and Manchester Pride 2021

[biguyby]

I’ve recently been shocked no make that horrified when watching some of the YouTube Videos from Pattaya. There still seem to be people going about their business around the Sois but looking at all the closed down businesses and to let signs is really saddens me that the Pattaya I have loved for the last 30 years is disappearing. I live in that hope things will one day improve and the lovely Thai people who are suffering now can find some solace.

I have bought tickets for Manchester Pride 2021 (my home city) it will be the first event for more that 18 months that I have attended where social distancing isn’t enforced. I must admit that whilst I am excited I am also frightened and feel extremely nervous. 
I have had many incredible times at Manchester pride over the years so I will just go with flow and try to have fun.

Best wishes to everyone in the group.

Assuming you're double jabbed take care and enjoy your dat at Manchester, I've been several years in a row but gave it a miss this year as I CBA with the flights and it IS always jam packed with people and there would be trouble enforcing any form of social distancing even if they wanted to I think, especially later in the day when everyone's half cut.  

If not double jabbed personally I wouldn't be going anywhere near it for the above reason.  I've four friends who all tested positive after attending a Tom Jones outdoor concert here ( yes I know I cant think what possessed them to go either, I think it was just more a case of going SOMEWHERE for a night out".  The two of the unjabbed friends ended up in hospital straight after it ( one of them had it seems decided that she intended to ward off Covid in her own unique way using natural remedies and herbs it seems !! ).

The other two jabbed friends still got it but with very much less drama and no need for medical intervention other than paracetemol thankfully.  My point being, even at an outdoor event the four of them DID still pick up Covid.

Away from Covid I see there have been several protests this year re the management and "goals' of the Manchester Pride committee after they stopped giving out free comdoms and things, with the usual ( probably correct) cries that they're forgetting what PRIDE was MEANT to be all about and allowing it to become far to commercial etc, so Im sure that that's a debate that's going to run and run this year now perhaps.

At least she came to her sense and still goes to the hospital for treatment. Clearly her natural method didnt work to ward off covid. The "natural" things that ive heard here includes charcoal, cloves, vitamin C, papaya leaves. Ivermectin while gaining traction here as well, is not natural.

Knowing her as I do and her being such a fucking idiot usually I'm guessing she was more thinking along the lines of 'thyme, oregano and perhaps a little basil" thrown in for good measure just.   I doubt she even had the wit to read any of the online nonsense and probably just came up with that bright idea all on her own !
