Theroadlesstravelled Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 This is the time for countries to re-nationalise their infrastructure instead of allowing profit mad enterprises lay waste to economies as soon as they going gets tough. Neoliberalism can get in the bin. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Tears at a guy in Perth being annoyed at a shop not being fully stocked at 6pm on a Sunday night during a global pandemic. Only eclipsed by some moon howler in Forfar claiming he had coronavirus prior to its outbreak in China. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing she won't be using them to wipe her mouth. Getting into Origami come the lockdown I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauzen Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Can they keep the McDonald's drive thru windows open even if they shut the restaurant? I might want another Grand Big Mac before March 24th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 One of our granddaughters offered to get us a few bits and bobs - she came back with everything on the list - spuds, purple milk, toilet roll, kitchen roll and baby wipes. Got it in a convenience store at a filling station. Went on to Tesco in Cookstown where there was nada, apparently.

Most European countries are effectively shutting down for the next 3 weeks, with only supermarkets and chemists remaining open. Expect the same in the UK in the next few days.

Robin.Hood Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I’ve not even been to the shops. My Mrs done a normal online shop last week but I would like to think i have enough friends / neighbours locally that if I needed a paracetamol or tea bag etc I could get hold of one and if anyone asked us we would reciprocate. f**k being stuck in a mile long till queue with disease ridden wankers !! The deliver driver will probably hey the virus.Every little helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 For those that 'had it' last year, Prof Jason Leitch, who appears to be becoming this thing's John Curtice, said on Off The Ball yesterday in response to someone who said they had the symptoms before this outbreak happened that they'd had the cold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Got sent a video today of a Chinese wet market, pretty fucking grim. I wish I switched it off when the dogs were getting blow-torched. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
