Corona Virus

[bovril]

Fire in the belly this morning.
- Students showing great spirit and camaraderie and really trying to use the new online systems.
- Takeaway draught ale ordered.
- Soap arrived through the post.
- Opened up my draw to get my camera out and found a spare roll of that-which-must-not-be-named.

We have our own meeting later on today. It's assumed we will announce the same action.

The Eurovision Song Contest is off. Realistically, given the situation, there's no way it could have been held.

Yeah. Just got the parkrun email. 

 

Should be ok to go for a solo run, though.

 

 

 

Could all do a solo run on saturday around 9am in a park with 2 metres distance between each other??  Park TBC.....

On another point, on Moneysavingsexpert Sky have said today that customers can freeze sky sports subscriptions as they are not getting the service.

 

How brilliant!!!

 

Then they said ring us as you can't do it online, presume they would be able to work out how many people might ring.  Next thing I saw nobody could get through......hhmmmmm.

 

Next thing you know Amazon will be exploiting workers by saying they HAVE to work overtime, for a pittance of OT.

Team spirit and all that, or perhaps some see an opportunity to exploit the situation.

We're now on bog roll rationing in our house. The kids use about 10 sheets a wipe when 2 will do. 

 

I've now mastered the art of one wipe per sheet.

My daughter uses more in 1 day that the other 3 of us put together in about a month!!!  Bogrollgeddon.......

Obviously the Indian is good with numbers and is here to save the day

Wonder if he's related to @Dr The Singh

He is a very rich man, unfortunately not related to me.  His family are from the Punjab, from a Hindu background

I’ve found I have a good ability to imitate a dry cough, which is useful for getting to the front of queues quicker.

It comes across as sensationalist in the wording and there is zero source or reference involved, but I could see it happening.

Maybe, but I don't think we're at that stage yet. Even in countries with "lockdowns" these have been largely achieved through compliance. Perhaps somewhat suprisingly there has been no civil disorder yet.
