Haha - aye, and a very PROUD "alien", too!! As no doubt will be many thousands of others... What about OAPs - I wonder how many who like(d) going to the pub for a pint will be ordering their drinks that way? What happens when the Wi-Fi goes down?
Nah, when/if I go back to pubs, I'll stick to the small, family run places that still promote the use of SPEECH - you know the tongue you've got in your head, which you used to use to TALK to people? And where I feel like I'm in a normal space, not an extra in some sci-fi disaster movie!
Exactly. Why do you think they're doing it? Covid is simply being used by the authorities as an excuse to spy on us more and monitor our movements and behaviour, with the aim of imposing control. It's more about surveillance than anything else, and anyone who can't see that is blind. It'll certainly be easier for Police to catch drink drivers from now on, though!Here's another one: If you have to book your place online, be there at a certain time, and pay for your drinks with a card, there'll be all this information about where you are at a given time, what you're drinking and how much
The interesting thing, however, will be seeing how long these measures [ultimately loss of our freedoms] remain in place and become the 'new normal' once this pandemic is over, and there's no reason for the virus to continue controlling our lives.... *THAT* is when you'll see the REAL purpose behind them in the long term!!
Marco.
