What plans has COVID-19 ruined for you?

[RonnieTodger]

I'll start by saying that obviously it has impacted people in far more serious ways than cancelling weddings, holidays etc. but it's a chance to have a moan about stuff you had planned. 

 

I was buzzing for 2020. Had trips to New York and Malaysia cancelled as well as hoping to go on more European trips with Leicester. 

Also my first England test match, Sopranos live and I assume Ricky Gervais gigs will get called off in October too.

[Innovindil]

The bloody thing got within temptation/evanescence concert on 1st May cancelled/postponed. Still fuming now. 

 

Proper first World problems though.

My band had a little tour in France that we had to pull, in hindsight it was always gonna be pulled but it was touch and go right up to when it all kicked off properly.

Also, I'm meant to be moving country this year, it's brought those plans forward a little bit as we are wary of the country shutting the borders again if we get a big second spike (although admittedly I would probably still get in as a partner).

It's mainly the general uncertainty, finding jobs etc.

Where are you moving?  Australia too?  I am more concerned about the economy and not getting a job when I get there - I can definitely get in.

My wedding reception, pubs and hotels closed day before the wedding. were able to get married in church but limited numbers

honeymoon trip to Budapest

Lake District trip for Wife birthday

Kasabian

Paw Patrol Live  Ok, so not all bad

Had tickets for the Hundred cricket at Old Trafford

 

That's just stuff we had booked, would probably have gone somewhere around about now. Still got most of those to look forward to though.

2020 was the year I was going to sort my life out - get a better (proper) job, lose some weight, stop drinking, see more friends and travel more. That went well lol.

[StanSP]

Got engaged to the missus in February (timed that well to avoid lockdown!) but seen each other only twice since then

 

Wedding planning has taken a turn. Just had to arrange everything as quickly as possible to get a date for next year but all virtually, mainly email! 

 

Was meant to be in Toulouse on a stag do last weekend. 

 

A couple of friends' weddings we were due to attend have been postponed til next year.

 

Was meant to have seen Chris Ramsey and Romesh Ranganathan in April but that's pushed back to next year too.

Arsenal away, Kamakaze at Wellgosh, DMAs in Hull, Night Cafe in Sheffield, Blossoms in Leeds, Kasabian. Was supposed to be doing the Otley run too

Denmark, I think I'll be fine to get in as my partner is Danish and we've been living together a number of years.

Yeah that's my main concern too, think it'll be a case of getting any old job to get the money in upon arrival.

I'm toying with the idea of going back into education and trying to find a job that aligns with my interests so I'm not consistently miserable.

 

Scary Times.

Fun fact I saw on twitter today -  Kamakaze is the only person to have appeared on Fifa's soundtrack and as a player (Luton I think)

Was planning to go on a Balkans tour- Budapest, Belgrade, Sarajevo & Dubrovnik/Split for 10 days to 2 weeks around July/August time. We were gonna book in March but obviously put it on ice luckily so I’ve not been shortchanged.

Had Kasabian booked but that's it. Was looking at holidays but got nowhere.

 

Other than that just missed out on the great away games we had left but especially Spurs  Been looking forward to go there since it opened (can't believe our visit there will be no fans).

[Nalis]

I havent fared too badly compared to some in all honesty.

 

Friend's wedding in Portugal

Atletico Mince live

Weekender in Edinburgh

 

All of which are likely to be postponed rather than cancelled to be fair, biggest financial hit is probably losing money on flights back from Portugal. Planned other hols provisionally but didnt book them thankfully.

 

The biggest one for me medium term is probably the postponement of moving out of London by the end of the year , with the job market in my industry grinding to a halt outside of London I will be lucky to move by this time next year.

We were supposed to go in March too. We’ve got flight money back but still waiting on hotel. 
 

forgot about Kasabian!

[SemperEadem]

Lads birthday

Trip to Bochum

A wedding in Edinburgh

3 Gigs

Big day on it for Arsenal away

A good few days down Grace Road

[Milo]

So far...

 

Friends wedding - weekend away with no kids.

Cruise (usually book last minute so not actually out of pocket)

Spuds away

Amsterdam weekend

 

Oh yeah - Also missed out on a shedload of income   

 

 

 

In the grand scheme of things, when people have had their lives ruined and loved ones have died, I think I got off pretty lightly.

 

  

[grobyfox1990]

Weekend in NYC, 14 days in Nepal, Euro 2020 game in Amsterdam, 4 days in Ibiza, Oktoberfest, a weekend in Margate (!!!). Three gigs (not too bothered about the other two, just Kasabian), two theatre shows, Eng v Aus t20 match. And of course the possibility of watching Leicester in Europe.

 

Annoying, but will have to really go all out in 2021 to make up for it.

[Crinklyfox]

Seeing family

Shopping 

Socialising

Bowling

Holiday

[nnfox]

I was supposed to be going to the Isle of Wight Festival this weekend.

Yeah I can’t see it happening again any time soon. He’s a better MC than he is a footballer but to have decent careers in both is impressive 

[Izzy]

It's my wife's 50th in September.

 

Hopefully all this carries on until at least then so I don't have to take her away on an expensive trip to celebrate
