Its so confusing and the more I read the more confusing it gets. Booked cheap flights and hotel on Tuesday so not going to cut corners on tests. Like you were booking tests in Didsbury for Monday, fly out Weds, will arrange test prob friday in Porto, fly home Sunday and book a local boots test for the Tuesday.
One of our kids currently has covid, were on day nine of isolating, and were self testing every 3 days as a precaution. He has no symptoms and was picked up by one of the self testing kits initially. Been crapping it all week in case I test positive cos that will scupper all plans. Weve read there is no point testing him again for 90 days, unless he has symptoms, as he could still produce a positive test. So a positive test now would mean no travel. Really feel like continuing isolation until my test a week on Monday to be safe cos would be gutted to miss this trip. :)
Cheers pal ive had both jabs and my sons having his first this week (he has stayed away from us so should be ok). Having missed out on Everton tickets was a blessing in a way because we would have gone on the beer all day with the risk that brings. Would be gutted if we did that and missed Porto trip cos we tested positive.That's what a lot of people don't realise about the positive tests, you can still test positive 90 days after being infectious. That's the worrying thing, imagine something like that 80 days later meaning you couldn't go. Have you or your son been vaccinated mate? I think it reduces the chance of transmission but you can still have the virus. Hope you're alright, and all of us for that matter. Be a nail biting fortnight.
I reckon she’ll be fine mate, 9k points and on the cup scheme will be enough tell her not to worryI used to have three women working for me in a cash office in Dublin. At the end of one day one of them came to see me complaining that the other two were being racist towards her. It was like the Wild West in the company I worked for and I had no training or HR support on how to deal with this so I had to make it up as I went along. I asked her to tell me exactly what they had done to her and it amounted to the other two being mates who socialised together outside of work and they went to lunch together without her. So I told, let’s call her Anna as that was her name, that I wasn’t sure that was necessarily racism and was there anything else that was upsetting her. At this point Anna broke down and told me she was having problems with her flatmate who was bringing her boyfriend (the flatmate’s not Anna’s, she never had one as far as I’m aware) back to the flat and their nocturnal activity was keeping her awake all night. We both concluded that her lack of sleep was the real problem and no more was ever said about the racism issue.
What that’s got to do with anything is anyone’s guess!I reckon she’ll be fine mate, 9k points and on the cup scheme will be enough tell her not to worry
There’s a lot of talk about taking a test in the Uk and as long as that is 72hours before you return to Uk you don’t need to take a test in Portugal. Now whilst this is technically correct I can see this causing problems. I have done a few flights in the last few months (not Portugal) you show your paperwork to the check in staff, they are not experts in all these rules. If you turn up to the check in counter with a negative covid test from the uk, albeit within the 72 hour rule. I can see that being a problem. They will be expecting a test from Portugal. I might be totally wrong but it’s something to consider. I’ve seen more than a few passengers refused boarding because their paperwork it not exactly correct.thank you appreciated
I would suggest taking a copy of the gov.uk rule with you printed out (I will be). Most people won’t be even going to the check in desk, first time that’ll be checked is prior to boardingThere’s a lot of talk about taking a test in the Uk and as long as that is 72hours before you return to Uk you don’t need to take a test in Portugal.

If there’s a load of City fans on the same flights on the Sunday I can’t see them losing an argument on this if they are technically in the right.I would suggest taking a copy of the gov.uk rule with you printed out (I will be).

Wish I could do that, I can't get the thing out of my mind :(As much as a pain in the arse this has all been - and may yet continue to be, I've realised it's been a phenomenal distraction from the game itself.
Two weeks away and I've barely given the actual game a thought.
