I assumed 'sprightly' meant younger, not youngest.

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.

Funnily enough, I've seen people out running and walking recently who I've never seen in my life before. 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.

That sounds like what would been delivered if the Broons had ordered a Tesco home delivery from the But ‘n Ben.

You'd need to multiply that by around 10 for the Broons, Daphne would munch that herself..

Fair enough.  It's not where my dirty mind landed but there you go.

Just been delivered - a fry pack, a packet of soda bread, tea bags, sugar, coffee, a jar of jam, tin of custard, tin of beans, tin of peas, tin of chicken soup, 4 sachets of breakfast cereal.

More than happy with that.

No milk?

Where do you get that from? It was coming on the bbc app at 2 o clock before but not now.

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.

Did Horace grow up to be Rees-Mogg ?

Not if it's Alain.

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.

The BBC sounding more positive at the moment.  No pneumonia, breathing on his own, blah, blah...

ETA: on oxygen.

It was 2 and 2, went from 218 - 220 - 222 and now 296. 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.

I do get a good feeling of community around the place... just back from the corner shop and  the bloke behind the counter gave me my groceries for nothing, said I could take anything I wanted...

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.

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.
