Kel started feeling a bit under the weather yesterday. I did a test this morning and it was fine but after reading this thread I’ve just got him to take one and it’s positive
And snap, it’s our wedding anni today too!
Neither, but you and I were chatting on Friday evening so you'd better watch out, mateAll the people infected, did you do the
I'll test again tomorrow to be sure! No symptoms yet.Neither, but you and I were chatting on Friday evening so you'd better watch out, mate
Maybe the furnace of the Ladies competition room on Friday (not that I was in it) and the same stuffy room for League finals (which I was in) was the catalyst. I left about 1pm on Sunday and it was all quite quiet on Sunday morning.
All the people infected, did you do the
No curry for me, but did have a sing.
That being said..... I think my trip to 'Madame Barbara's Daventry Palace of Pleasure' might have been ill advised.
They'll not be getting
️️️️️ on trip advisor, that's for sure.
Luckily I don’t feel like I have covid but I was washing my hands regularly after I saw several guys not wash thier hands in the toilets…..
Wonder how many contaminated flippers there were and how many of us touched other people’s nob’s in the process

Had Curry, no Karaoke, definitely was washing my hands, and so far negative, even appear to have been in close contact with someone positive late on Sunday night.
I recon whatever the shots the Irish were passing round have protected me, no way anything could have survived coming in contact with that lethal stuff.

Lucky for me I didn’t play much pinball and I didn’t hold the mic. I did have covid 4 weeks ago so my immune system is at its best, but then again 100 people played Stall Ball and where was I holding Dave’s beer lolLuckily I don’t feel like I have covid but I was washing my hands regularly after I saw several guys not wash thier hands in the toilets…..

Lucy has covid and i feel like crap!
I noticed a few guys smelling strongly of BO as I played a few machines in the main room. It's basic hygene, right! I too saw guys not washing hands after using the toilet cubicles.
Yuk....
Yuk....
Just finished three 13-hour days in the bar and i'm feeling fine!
Glad it looks like i dodged it, otherwise the bar would have been buggered with staff on holiday

I saw plenty leaving the gents without washing hands
. Didn't experience any BO but definitely a case of crop dusting.
I'm more wondering who owns the Nissan - ultimately it doesn't matter who the owner of the VW is as you can let your insurance know the reg, send them the footage link and claim directly.
Looks like the Nissan has been really damaged
It was my Qashqai.
Don't worry. No drama and no great damage. It was all sorted out on the day and I am now in touch with the other driver's insurance company who have agreed to pay for all repairs.
I’m feeling tired too but otherwise fine…. Sorry to hear some people are feeling worse for the wear. wishing those that are poorly a speedy recovery.
Seemed to have escaped it too. Again, I noticed a few hygiene issues, with people not washing hands, BO etc. Not a great idea when there are so many people packed in closely together.
I wish everybody a quick recovery, and see you all again soon fit and healthy.

@MadMonzer (Jon, husband) seems to be okay.
I have an immune system abnormality and had a big ’flare’ on Sunday and Monday, so I suspected I’d been exposed to a virus (of some sort) at Pinfest or just beforehand, but it passed in the typical 48-72 hours so I didn’t think anything of it.

While it's not easy to get tests for free now they are very cheap on amazon if anyone feels the need.
Interestingly, on the Saturday we wandered down to the Queen of Hearts, had a meal and on the way back we popped into Boots for some nail polish - pink - yep - erm, it was for Clare not me. Anyhow, a lady came in and asked if they had any covid tests? The boots lady told her "sorry, they'd sold out, and it was strange as they usually had plenty in stock".- I guess Daventry has had a recent outbreak, i.e. customer asking for a test, Boots sold out.
I’m calling it ‘PinFest Lag’ I’m not ill per say, just seem more tired than previous years and working at a very slow rate haha
Probably just too much chat , late nights and beers..
And Dutch friends!!

I’m just shattered. Soooo much sleep to catch up on.
If you have relatives or friends who are vulnerable you might want to steer clear.
I've needed a couple of days off after shows even when younger. You just spend too much time stood up plus burning candles at both ends .
Some of our curry group had issues the next day but no reports of the C word
