After one day of no fitba’, and having spent much of that day sitting in a Pavers shoe shop while Mrs Poz pondered the merits of the pink Skechers trainers over the light grey ones.... I’m away to read the entire ‘Big Rangers Administration Thread’ from the beginning. I think we should get that thread recorded as an audiobook. Would get us through the tough times that lie ahead. Div might torture us even more though, instead of getting Benedict Cumberbatch and Matthew McConaughey to record it in comforting tones, he’d get in Sarah Millican and Joe Pasquale.

doulikefish Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 He is promoting a newspaper article he has in the telegraph about how to protect yourself from the virus but in pure tory style its behind a paywall [emoji23] Matt Handcock doesn't exactly inspire confidence. We could do that, we may do that, it may come in, a week a fortnight. They obviously don't know what the f**k they are doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Elvis Costello on Facebook: It is with great regret that we are announcing the postponement of the three remaining shows of the "Just Trust UK 2020 Tour". In Oxford, New Theatre, Cardiff, Wales Millennium Centre and Birmingham, Symphony Hall. We are disappointed not to be bringing our show to you but trust you will agree that this is for the best. We want you all to be safe and well. In the face of foggy or incoherent leadership, which has the appearance of being more focused on the stock market than on people's welfare, it sadly falls to us strolling players to call a halt to our tour. All the most sober (and least hysterical), medical and scientific advisories now suggest that we would all do better to lessen our exposure to and communication of, the current contagion. I nevertheless want to thank everyone who has attended our shows and acknowledge that many people have continued to do so even as the gravity of the situation became more apparent. I think we have all been trying to be optimistic. We hoped to offer a little musical balance to our more irrational fears but I know now that we must take this course. The sentiments that I expressed from the stage of Hammersmith Apollo, on Friday night are much as I would write to you today; take care of the little ones, take care of the older folks, who are more vulnerable, please applaud and support the brave NHS staff and other health workers who are really in the front line and let us not surrender to unreasonable fear or let dread or false motive divide where we might better pull together. It is especially difficult to curtail another U.K. tour, after what happened in 2018 but if you're asking, I'm fine, thank you. We have all taken every sensible precaution with our band and crew to keep well and really to bring you the best show possible. We will be back at the earliest possible occasion to play for you again, when all of this is behind us. Finally, I want to thank all of our technical and support crew, the drivers that get us safely to the shows along with all we need to perform. Most of all I want to acknowledge the friendship and support of Steve, Pete and Davey - The Imposters, the best band in any land - with all our thanks to our wonderful singers, Kitten Kuroi and Briana Lee for their peerless musical contribution, energy and spirit. We are all in this together. Please take care of yourselves and we will see you in just a little while. Your friend through music.

supermik Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 If some are saying that we should try not to touch buttons, handles etc. How long would the virus last on these things and still be a cause of infection? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Ross is a long term quiz poster so will be fine. As long as his quarantine doesn't send him cuckoo. I'm sure we will watch how he copes and if he needs a delivery yodel will sort him out. Now where did I put that Toblerone...I think I saw it on top of the cuckoo clock........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
