Krispy Kreme are not a necessity?

Now I KNOW you are talking shit, Nick.

 

[Nick]

Shops aren’t shut

They aren't necessarily needed are they?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the post above.

Those hotel pricks that sacked people

Scottish hotel blames admin error for sacking staff during Covid-19 outbreak
Yes just like the chemists who said triple price increase on kids medicine was an error till it was proved it was their head office that had put the price up Wankers
“Admin error”

Looking forward to people going to buy trainers getting abuse.

Got a couple pizzas delivered last night then had a few drinks and started making a battleships set out of the boxes.

This is at the start. I’m going to end up batshit.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

My god, I sleep for about 11 hours after a long week, get up, have a cuppa, blast the vape, come on here and we’re still discussing whether supermarket shoppers are murderers

If anybody is interested in doing some easy home science experiments with their kidss I can post a few. Non infectious I might add

 

[Liquid Gold]

Can I ask a question about how I should be going about things.

A couple of friends of mine who’ve been working from home this week have asked me and Ms LG to go for a walk this afternoon. We’ll drive to theirs, pick them up and drive to the woods for a walk just the 4 of us. Is this ok or should I be distancing more?

Has anyone looked at the virtual museums stuff with their children , it’s supposed to be good

Edinburgh zoo have webcams on the animals too (awaits Nick joke about a giraffe with a dildo).

Definitey. Especially suitable for younger ones

Keep your distance in person (2m?) and you should be OK.

Places that have banned mass gatherings tend to be more than five as well.

At least they will be equipped to do a runner.

Been thinking about this virus. I blame Greta Thunberg and her mates. After all they’ve got what they wanted, places in lockdown fewer vehicles on roads across the globe, reduction in pollution and the deaths of the elderly the people that are to blame for climate change.

I don't like pizzas unless in Italy. I also don't like sweetcorn. But I would buy a pizza with sweetcorn so I could flick it at others in the room. Got to have a bit of fun at times like this.

Just found out a friend has had it & his mrs has caught it we defo have more than 5 cases in Coventry

If you more or less know they don't have it and you don't have it then not a problem.

But do you?

I feel sorry for her. How are the crew of her boat going to fly around the globe to crew up?

That is OK as long as he drives a bus or something very long.

Hahahhaa missed that bit.

Might have to tie Mrs LG to the roof rack to maintain social distancing

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Teachers too But yes, it will quickly be realised among the more rational of us (i.e. not Grendel) that the salary paid to someone is no reflection of their self-worth - indeed by the key worker logic, there is an inverse relationship between salary paid and the criticalness of their wok. Hopefully it also makes people in fraudulent jobs such as 'healthcare business consultants' take a long and hard look at themselves...

From current evidence the management of preparations for dealing with the virus has been lacking, as the front line staff don't have the right kit & equipment. That sits with government and management.

We’re in a non at risk age group. None of us have any symptoms, we’re not going to get close to anybody and afterwards we’re going to go home and see nobody. I think it’s good but wanted to sound it out to someone without skin in the game. I also feel some outside and fresh air will do me good as being in a flat with no outside space is tough.

To be fair I've just walked past Grimmet and Timms and they've got an advert in the window for a driver/pall bearer so they seem to be fairly well prepared.

No wonder this thing is spreading so fast the Ricoh is absolutely heaving we are gonna be moving at a faster rate than Spain Italy etc 100%

5 of my mates from Binley Wyken areas came back from Courchavel in the French Alps last Saturday night and have been in bed since with symptoms, not saying it is Corona it maybe another bug, how would they know though without being tested.

Exactly their hiding the true figures when is Boris gonna get hold of this situation everyone seems to be just carrying on with normal life

But you are prepared to spread heresay and call out the Boris Johnson about people carrying on as normal. How about people taking some responsibility for their own actions?

I’m going out walking every day, lots of people around but it’s not hard to stay a safe distance and I would see that as low risk.

This is well out of Boris’ hands now, it’s up to every one of us to slow the spread.

It will do you good. You don't know hiw much longer you will be able to go out. Don't they have their own car though? Would they fit in your boot?

Not a problem as long as you understand the risk. Personally I am in semi lockdown. Just go shopping and work. It isn't up to me what others do. But we do need to keep our distance. Not everyone shows symptoms. Three Pompey players have it. They showed no symptoms. They are testing the whole squad. Not even had all the results in yet.

Nope my daughter working in Edmunds today

definitely. If you’re careful then the benefits of some fresh air, exercise and having a chat with friends will far outweigh the risks.
