    While Im here, its January 2021. Why not start the year on the front foot with something new, exciting and mysterious.

    The forum games presents its first game of the year and its TERMINATOR themed.


    Ever you watched Terminator or T2 - Judgment Day and thought how cool would it be to relive the moments experienced by John Connor as he is stalked by a cyborg killing machine from the future ? Well now is your chance to try it out!

    This will be a fairly simple game to play, nothing complex and hopefully ideal for new comers who want to finally find out what all this Werewolf business is all about.

    Game begins Sunday 24th 2020. Sign ups are now open

    TERMINATOR WEREWOLF

    Here is amusing at the very least. I'm all for a pint but I see people actually believing the government will open the pubs for Paddy festivities in March.

    With the brainpower of some of those attacking the Capitol, I'm surprised they didn't turn up at NXT at the Capitol Wrestling Centre

    Being honest, these new restrictions are really destroying my head.

    It doesn't help having a brother who is a teacher, who (despite how bad it's getting) is being told he has to go back in, to classrooms with germ-infested teenagers. Plus Brexit is just a real heavy blow to my business. Not a killer but a game changer that's going to require a whole lot of shuffling things round to fix the holes it's put in things.

    But....up till now, I felt the end has always been just a little up the road. Ok, it sucked not having (for example) a holiday to look forward to last year, but it was only one year, and we'd have the summer of 2021 back.

    Now, the whispers are we won't be having much of a summer either, because the vaccinations are going to be so slow. The new strain, the way we were totally unprepared for the very obvious flu season. And with Xmas gone, it's a little bit of a struggle to identify something to actually look forward to. :/

    I really do feel these restrictions are the worst I’ve felt I just lost my job so days filled with applying for jobs and boredom really hitting me hard. Thankfully lucky enough to have people in my house but still just hits hard.

    Then add that to all the craziness in the America just feels no rainbow at the end yet to look forward too with how slow the vaccines and the world ready to burn

    I'm lucky work wise in that I'm able to work from home and there's been no major impact on my job. But in terms of things to look forward to I agree it's tough the longer it goes on. The thought of a confirmed holiday of some kind this year would help but there's very little guarantee on that. Even a night out with friends seems a way off.

    For me, I feel the government are in a tight spot, trying to please everyone, keep the economy ticking over and keeping people safe from the virus.

    For me a huge mistake was not banning domestic air travel when we were at single digit cases. Keep commercial trade open and have some sort of testing hub at the ports and airports for the employees relating to essential shipments for goods that are essential.

    Cases could be controlled and domestic businesses would have reopened safely. Schools could have reopened safely.

    Right now sadly its only going to get worse. 7k cases per day now and rising suggests to me that the horses are well out of the barn and this lockdown occurred far too late. Everyone is going to suffer more long term.
