  1. It has you Henry - a precious natural resource!
  2. Firstly, 7daysinaweek - all the very best of luck and I hope the tests come back negative. Second, my mother in law has been in hospital since end of Feb, having broken her hip. Three weeks ago, she tested +ive for Corona but asymptomatic. 7 days later she was released back into a general ward. She was due to go home last Saturday but her care home said they wouldn't allow her back unless the hospital re-tested. Lo and behold it came back +ive again. Either someone at the hospital has ballsed up or the testing regime is up the Kyber. Worrying. I was admitted myself last Tuesday, diagnosed with diabtetes. Interestingly, I was admitted via A&E at Shrewsbury. There were just two other people there and in the Acute Medical Unit there was a hole unit full of doctors and nurses with just me to look after - no-one else at all. Proof, as if proof needed that people aren't utilising the health service currently.

    MOT

    There is no reason why a test cant be done, only if you or someone you live with is vulnerable. Nowhere on the Gov.UK website does it say MOTs cant be done.

    MOT

    My son's garage is open for MOT. All very well the gov saying extend by 6 months. Just because they say that, does that automatically make cars safe? I doubt it.

    Lockdown

    I fully agree with the sentiment - its just not right. Then again, in this weather I tend to wear T-shirts. Not sure that at 63 yrs old, that's right either......

    Journalists

    The guy who shouts "are you going to resign minister" and such things died overnight. Known as Gobby to his mates. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52224513
  7. In some instances, whether you think a film "carp" or "great" really depends on your age. When they were teenagers, my boys watched a favourite of mine with me and deemed it bloody awful. I love it. The Ghost Train starring Arthur Askey......
  8. Have had similar issues myself. Cured by soaking overnight minimum. Makes a huge difference.
  9. I agree wholeheartedly. My recent experiences of BA are that they are no better than the budget airlines. At the end of Feb I had to travel to Atlanta and Virgin is/was the only airline to fly Manchester/ATL direct, so booked with them. Wow, what a difference - cabin crew laughing and joking as we boarded and service throughout the flight (Prem Econ) was superb. Couldn't have asked for more. Its true that many non-European airlines offer even better but the Virgin experience pleasantly surprised me. After the crisis, competition will likely be fierce and those that up their game will benefit, as I hope, we do too.
  10. Its weird - we are seeing similar things here. Maybe the scabs who emptied the shelves have no more storage space, ran out of money or have died. If it carries on like this, the biggest issue will be maintenance of the supply chain. Otherwise, common sense seems to be holding up, in the main.
  11. "Any last requests?" "I suppose a **** is out of the question?"
  12. I really wish I did but I'm sorry as the only ideas I have would involve doing time. These people are detestable and should be either locked up for good or be euthanised. I feel so sorry for you mate and really wish you eventually get an outcome that leaves you able to live a peaceful life.
  13. One of my most favourite songs. The Kinks original was clever but Kate's version is very atmospheric.
  14. I'm an emotional bloke and music often really "gets" me. Sorry to sound so cissy. But Kate Rusby's voice gets me more than most. Beautiful...…….🥵
