#ImDone

Boris failed the Third Date Rule. You know the one: if she doesn't have sex with you by the end of the third date, she doesn't find you attractive. Wish her a prosperous life and move on. Don't look back. (Women have their own version of this.)

My first date was April 12th with non-essential retail opening, and haircuts. Second date was May 17th for indoor dining and the like. June 21st was Freedom Day.

That just got moved.

To the 29th of July - and you could see Boris wishing he did not have to say those words. The 19th is a distraction.

#ImDone is a lot of other people saying Sorry, but we're not putting our lives on hold anymore.

Go to this link, print the exemption card, get a lanyard and wear it. You don't need anyone's permission to do it, and you don't have to prove it to anybody.

Ask people wearing masks to remove them when they talk to you. Except waiters and shop assistants - unless you really cannot understand them.

Those things you have been putting off until this **** ends? Start doing them. Except for the overseas travel and nightclubs.

Look carefully at what the rules are. You can do a lot of the things you have stopped doing. Meeting people for lunch, or after-work drinks. Popping over to the GF's place for the night. Going to the beach at the weekend, or if you live nearby, in the evening. Playing computer games with the lads. Or Sunday football.

And most important, you can do a lot of those things you haven't been doing because, well, pandemic and safety and doing your bit?

Start doing those.

That's what #ImDone is about.

It's all those people who have been "good" and "cautious" deciding that they're done with that.

It's all those people who were waiting for this **** to end on a promised date, so we could do the things we wanted to do. (My state.)

It's not pretending there's no Virus. It's not breaking any laws. It's not being irresponsible.

It's leaving the stadium because you can't bear to see your team play like that anymore.
