Someone getting too big for his boots - Oldfellah - 12-01-2022

'Deeply inappropriate': Clarke Gayford sorry for 'confusion' after claim he tried to get mate rapid Covid test

This Chemist posted on his Facbook group.
"Just had a group of vaccinated musicians arrive having potentially been exposed want a RAT - explained to them that they needed to have a PCR test done." Taylor wrote.

"As they didn't like this they got Clarke Gayford on the phone who proceeded to tell me that there had been a change in the guidance and these people should be given RAT tests.

"when I explained that we had not received any direction from the MoH he was very unimpressed," the post said.

What is confusing about the rules Clarke?

Jacinda.
If you don't want to lose even more votes you better bring that boy into line!

She's too busy to manage a c list tv celeb with an overblown sense of his own importance. But it isn't too late to postpone the wedding.


RE: Someone getting too big for his boots - Oldfellah - 13-01-2022

She will have to go ahead with the wedding because how else will she keep the voters minds off what is really going on in New Zealand, the press will be full of it for weeks, between that and the podium of truth she will be our avenging angel once more!!!


RE: Someone getting too big for his boots - Oh_hunnihunni - 13-01-2022

Oh I think canceling it would guarantee her more press coverage than she has ever had, lol...


RE: Someone getting too big for his boots - Lilith7 - 13-01-2022

Unbelievably stupid thing to do for pity's sake - bloody cheek, trying to use his position to get special treatment - has he not heard of the UK & Boris's little problem fgs??!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern refuses to comment on Clarke Gayford's apology over rapid antigen tests ... it would be the first time in years she has kept her mouth shut  Big Grin

GAYLORD probably couldn't give a RATs  Tongue Tongue Tongue

A little perspective wouldn't hurt. This is a very tiny little scandal compared with what's going on elsewhere. For some real scandal this week look at Boris Johnson's lies about the lockdown party.

But, it was the muscian group who demanded the RATs and tried to pull the celeb card to get their own way over the pharmacist. Let's not forget who started this. And who went walkabout with a positive test result...

Musicians. Marching to their own rather entitled drum?

No wonder everyone is a bit confused -

Looks to me like another MoH stuff up.

Too many comfy bums on long term seats perhaps?

Indeed - a wee bit of an airing might benefit both bums & seats. Smile

Between pushy mates, bureaucratic chaos and what must be a very stressed domestic situation at present I'm not surprised Clarke's judgement was a bit lacking over this.


RE: Someone getting too big for his boots - Oldfellah - 13-01-2022

Id be stressed too if I was engaged to her!


RE: Someone getting too big for his boots - Oh_hunnihunni - 14-01-2022

The age gap means she could only dream of such marital bliss oldfellah...
