I owe it to my mother.. She kept pushing me to go to the barber when the cases are still around 50-ish (I felt that it is still way too short). Three days after I had it, the local government started to implement various measures and lots of barber in my area are closed until now.

Ok, this is perhaps the most outrageous stuff ever...

 

Some people are protesting the burial of deceased Covid-19 patients in their area. A few dead bodies even had to be dug up again and reburied somewhere else due to the protest :facepalm:

The newest development is that people even threw rocks at the specially assigned burial team. How splendid..

Yes. The last time I got it cut was a few months ago, and it’s really starting to get too long. I’m about to point where I’m ready to see how skilled I am as a barber :p

Well, I don´t know what to answer to this post..I understand the feeling of you and your compatriots are really bad during this time but I just tried to help, because this really help to save lifes, but people still don´t listen :(

 

Sure, if true, such things are really sad and should be examined and seriously punished.

 

Obviously I don't know the real truth. According to the few information we could find on the Slovak media,

 

the Czech government denied any connection and indictment of "nation controlled stoling".

 

Someone stole it, That´s a prove. but the Czech authorities said it was someone else (mafia ? some doubtfull criminal groups ?), they just got an echo about some suspicious stuff and found it in some warehouse, supposedly thought it was a contraband, so they just confiscated it. Remember the  country was already under state of emergency, they can confiscate whatever they found.

 

But when it was found the the equipment was stuff intended to Italy from  China, they apologized and sent what they could t Italy (I know that not everything, claiming they already opened many packs etc...).

 

Yes, now, whether this is true or just faking and whether we have to believe it or not is obviously another thing.

but I stand with my words, CZE government should be really investigated in this matter and if the accusation show up to be true then also severly punished.



Otherwise, Slovakia experienced something similar, well, not exactly the same but somehow similar..

 

even at the beginning of all this shit, when we had absolutely nothing in our stocks, the state quickly found masks and other things in Ukraine, they contacted their authorities and agreed to buy 2 millions of masks and other stuff, UKR said ok it is yours but you have to came here yourself and pay by CASH !

and thus our representatives went the next day with cash in a suitcase to the airport when they received news that the Ukrainians the already packaged and confirmed goods for us sold to Germany who suddenly called to Ukraine a couple of hours ago and paid more. 

Our own neighbors !!!

Ridiculous and sad things we are living at the same time now :p:(

https://ukranews.com/en/news/690139-ukraine-was-ready-to-sell-slovakia-2-million-medical-face-masks-but-order-was-cut-off-prime

 

they're a bunch of liars...

 

there are photos and videos of Czech officials taking away from trucks going to Italy hundreds of crates full of masks and ventilators, crates with the flags of Italy and China and written good wishes and salute in both Italian and Chinese language...

 

they first denied everything, then they were forced to admit they did it, but they never presented Italy any official excusation nor showed the intention to at least pay some money for what they stole (and they didn't send anything back to Italy)...

 

by the way, this thing happened a few weeks ago, when Italy was starting to pile up deaths and other European Countries were still discussing what kind of countermeasures to use against this pandemic...it's not something new...

 

p.s. technically, that's more than enough to ask for Czech Republic's ejection from EU (stealing medical resources intended for a Country already in heavy need of them is almost an act of war)...but our government just closed their eyes and didn't even try any official action -not even a formal protest- against the Czechs...

if I were in charge, they would get out of it so easily...:finger:

by the way, talking of the situation in Italy, the numbers are always not that good...they are always stable and don't show any sign of decrease, even if because the good weather and the already quite long lockdown are starting to make people more and more indisciplined, with way too many not staying at home...and there's no police control that can stop them...

 

so, from tomorrow here in Lombardy we have another obligation...nobody can go out without masks (or at least a scarf covering mouth and nose)...

here all barber shops are definitely closed...

 

I'm always used to have quite long hair (especially in winter), but now the situation is going out of control...my hair look like Mario Kempes' at Argentina 1978 (it's good 10 months I don't go to the barber shop)...:yikes: :facepalm:

And the problem in Canada is hair clippers for home are jacked up in pricing as well. So if you don't have it at home (like myself) we are really screwed lol. 

 

All of us will come out looking like we played a season of Survivor.

    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either. 
    • Oh dear oh dear.  Going to be ructions with this one.  Established international diver Sofia Lyskun wants to transfer from..... to !     Somehow I think the three year rule will be enforced.   Sofiia Lyskun: Ukrainian federation 'expresses deep indignation' after champion diver switches to Russia - BBC Sport
