Eurovision cancelled. Which made me feel so much more well-disposed towards this plague. Then I read that Bono is sending virus-inspired songs to Italy. An act of unnecessary cruelty that undoes all my sanguinity.
My Sainsbury delivery driver wanted to leave everything of my normal delivery on the doorstep because I am old and must be self isolating! I resisted the urge to cough!
Relieved it's in new condition. That 30 day refund period is an interesting thought too. The 'two sold' concerns me most, though... Reassuringly, having read the multiple effusive reviews, I suspect not one has genuinely been sold. Pillocks gotta pillock.
I don’t know about you but I have always been deeply suspicious of the idea of recycled toilet paper - let’s hope this isn’t Matt Hancock’s next brilliant idea
Can't read the article by Independent reporting Japanese may have found a cure, the Chinese reckon it works after 4 days. Hope it's something that can be mass produced and soon.
You are wise to be cautious with that concept. Staying with the same theme, I've always been put off by the laxative commercials that offer "gentle overnight relief".
Thought for the day: The purpose of all the restrictions is to reduce the load on the NHS so it can cope. The cost is the disruption/destruction of everything else until the virus has taken who it wants. If said NHS is already struggling or failing to cope, aren't the restrictions just making a bad situation worse by stringing things out?
I think you will find this summarises the current position fairly well..... Global Alert Levels - Latest Update From BBC News The English are feeling the pinch in relation to the recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, the level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let's Get the Bastard.” They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.” The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.” The Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels. The Spaniards are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Australia, meanwhile, has raised its alert level from “No worries” to “She'll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of this final escalation level.
