The lengths some journalists will go for a story.

 

Elderly people dying.

The economy crashing.

Businesses folding.

People's liberties being removed.

Army about to be deployed.

 

Simon Jack:. But, but, but Morrisons aren't going to stock 60 different types of sausages!

 

Shoot me now.

I think it’s an important message that some fvcking idiots have literally panic-bought us into shortages.

 

However I imagine rather than realising how damaging their behaviour is and resuming normal shopping habits it’ll just worsen these cvnt’s behaviour.

 

Hopefully the army are deployed and give them lead lobotomies.

I went into the supermarket (Loughborough Shelthorpe Tesco) yesterday around 2pm to pick up a couple of things. The lack of stock on nearly every aisle was astonishing. Seems the only thing there was plenty of in there was over 70s. Unsure whether that was because they hadn't got anything at home (which is sad) or they are ignoring the govt advice (which is annoying). Anyway, it's a shit show. Haven't seen the same problems in European countries.

Yeah it is mate and I’ve got less than a year left on it.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into it.

If you've paid more than 50% of the full agreement, ring the lender up and ask to VT (voluntary terminate)  the agreement. Don't listen to anything they say about penalties or credit scores as they are not allowed to discriminate.

This behaviour is going to drag vulnerable and elderly folks to the shops and put them at increased risk. They can’t get deliveries and they’re waddling around shops for longer and probably having to visible multiple just to get the basics. Putting them in wider contact and therefore more risk.
 

Selfish tw@ts are going to be essentially killing older folks because they’re too stupid to think rationally. It’s flu not the plague, food is readily available if they stop acting like freaks. 
 

It should be a public duty that if you know friends or family acting like mutants and selfishly stockpiling to pull them up on their behaviour and give them a smack if necessary. We’re causing ourselves more issues than we already have.

Sean from Enderby just called, he let me know Boris has told him to put @Finnaldo in charge of the armed forces, he is liking your rhetoric on panic buyers :thumbup:


Anyone in Tescos car park is an open target for the machine gun nests, virus can’t spread if there’s no one to transmit it. 
 

Mass grave digging give any out of work folks something to put their minds to and NHS will be uncumbered. We’ll be back to the pubs by Christmas. 
 

I’m also joining the Lib Dem leadership race with my running mate Ed Davey next week if anyone’s in on my manifesto.

I just asked my weed guy if he's going to start stocking bog roll as a joke and he's already been sorting it for people...  It's officially hit the black market.  Words fail me. 

At least the cardboard tube also makes a handy roach.

Just a little light relief, found on Twitter, to be sung to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody.

 

Coronavirus Rhapsody:

 

Is this a sore throat?
Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown
No escape from reality.

Don’t touch your eyes
Just hand sanitize quicklyyyyy
I’m just a poor boy, no job security
Because of easy spread, even though
washed your hands, laying low
I look out the window, the curve doesn’t look flatter to me, to me

mama, just killed a man
I didn’t stay inside in bed
I walked by him, now he’s dead
mama, life was so much fun
but now I’ve caught this unforgiving plague

mama, oooooh
didn’t mean to make them die
if I’m not back to work this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if people didn’t matter

too late, my time has come
sends shivers down my spine
body’s aching all the time
goodbye everybody, I’ve got the flu
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

mama, oooooh
I don’t wanna die
I sometimes wish I never went out at all

I see a little silhouette of a man
what a douche, what a douche
did he even wash his hands though
security is tightening
very very frightening me
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low masturbate
Masturbate O O O O

I’m just a poor boy, facing mortality
HE’S JUST A POOR BOY FACING MORTALITY
spare him his life from this monstrosity

Touch your face, wash your hands, will you wash your hands?
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!)
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS)

BISMILLAH WE WILL NOT WASH YOUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!)
WASH YOUR HANDS! (never, never, never wash your hands oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
No no no no no
Oh mama mia, mia (mama mia wash your hands!)
COVID-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me

So you think you can stop me and just shake my hand?
So you think we can hang out and not break our plans?
Oh baby, can’t do this with me, baby,
Just gotta stay home, just gotta stay home with my fever
oooooh

Curving can get flatter
Anyone can see
Curving can get flatter
Curving can get flatter, you’ll see

Just look out your windows….

FLATTEN THE CURVE

Wow I wonder how many people have that % of their salary saved.....not many I reckon. 

In reality not many I'd imagine.

 

If you read any book on money or investing they always start by saying you should have at least 6-12 months money stashed away for emergencies (redundancy, illness, coronavirus etc) before you even think of investing.

 

Easier said then done for most of us though and the vast majority probably live hand to mouth and month to month.

 

This crisis does highlight the need to have some money in reserve though, as we never know what's around the corner...

Sorry that wasn’t meant as a boast at all.

 

Apologies to anyone who thought it came across that way.

Not at all mate, good on ya for being disciplined enough to stash some money away :thumbup:

 

P.S. Can you lend us a tenner?

I don’t have much faith in Scientists and Politicians working together at the moment.

 

This was obviously far worse in China than the Chinese government have admitted. We all seemed to be concerned about the economic impact of it all. 
 

No one over here seemed to think it would be a problem and if they did no one seemed to bother doing anything about it. We’re now trying to get on top of it and it’s running away from us.

Christ, the panic buying is getting a bit tedious, Heron Foods literally picked clean, felt sorry for a couple of the old peeps looking at the bare shelves.

Tesco Express next door had closed to restock, the chemist had barred the door with a table and even the supermarket round the corner has been raided to a degree.

No I didn't read it like that at all, I'm envious, but I'm also lucky that my other half and I both work for a company who should be paying us both throughout this whole thing, and they've let me work from home too. I just feel desperately worried for those of us all who are not as fortunate, and must be genuinely scared about what the future holds for them and their families

It's pathetic.

 

The only way you can get the essentials is to start queuing outside the supermarkets at 5am when they open at 6am and making a mad dash to get what you need.

 

If anyone knows a better tactic, please do tell.

Combination of kung fu and snatch and grab works best I've found. :thumbup:
