Siblings stop having baths together and fighting over soap at about 5 years old so of all the sexual imagery to throw up, I thought that was a bit of a noncey route to go down tbqhwy. I'll leave it at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apparently DO live in my avenue but it seems that they're now wanting to go out because they can't where before they didn't want to because they could. Human nature, you couldn't write it. I'm pretty sure the 'one bit of exercise a day' instruction exists to get people into a habit of exercising, whilst they don't have anything else to do. And the hope is they'll continue with it after the lockdown ends. Now that public health experts are at the top of the food chain, basically telling the government what to do, they've probably asked government to do it as they know they'll do anything they tell them. As long as folk are social distancing, I don't really understand what the problem is with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to multiply that by around 10 for the Broons, Daphne would munch that herself.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I've had Sky News on and off over the last couple of days and the coverage of Boris Johnson feels really ominous. It's almost like the newsreaders have been told to prepare for the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 46 deaths a day on Friday and Saturday last week and now 78 deaths on 3 days so It appears to be a good sign at 26 deaths a day average but I’m not sure what they’re playing at with the figures. They did announce some deaths on Sunday and Monday. I think it was 9 and 2, but still leaves the average well below end of last week. Given the doubts over how they're reporting deaths, I think positive tests and number in ICU (199) are better indicators.

There's no problem at all, I was merely making an observation that I found quite comical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't saying on their twitter page how many have died in a certain time they are only just updating their overall death count. It's not much use for graph enthusiasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should add safety glasses or a visor to your outfit, the eyes are vulnerable. Or maybe make your own cbrn suit just to be on the safe side.

Hillonearth Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It's been coming...finally lost the rag with a brain donor in a shop. Waiting in a queue with clearly delineated 2m spaces on the floor, this dopey late middle-aged bint out with her daughter wandered up and stood about a foot behind me...space invader distance even under normal circumstances: "The f**k you doing?" I then had one of those horrible moments of doubt when it crossed my mind that maybe I'd just growled at somebody who had early onset dementia or something...she had that slightly bovine uncomprehending look about her that I've seen in some that do...but going by the comprehensive and voluble way her daughter proceeded to tell her off, I'm glad to say she was just thick as f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
