Overnight world restriction means I will not be the first FL2 to climb Everest !

With all this cancelling of football games, it does concern me.
How are football fans going to relieve their anger and frustration now. What will these people speak to each other about ? They only have the one topic.
It is worrying times.

In local Aldi's this morning,
and commented to checkout girl that she must be fed up looking at Toilet rolls,
her comment = If it gets as bad as they reckon there'll be a lot of people inheriting T rolls.
 DAVE.

I don't quite understand all the panic and country isolation, once it got out of China there was no stopping it, there is possibly it may and only may be a chance of slowing it down until the warmer weather but there's no guarantee that the warmer weather will slow it down, however in the UK the NHS is under less pressure. Basically it will be rather like flue, you may get or not you could self isolate to avoid it if you live alone in an isolated community but for how long? Just admit that you probably will catch it despite your best avoidance precautions, just hope it's the milder version. I don't think banning international flights make any difference now except to either bankrupt airlines or create a much higher fare regime in the future but that will reduce numbers to the better off, may please Greta but not many others  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

In the long term future, our children will as each other ....... "Do you remember the CoronaVirus of 2020 ?"

FACT.

.

Let all the rabid chavs fight it out in the supermarkets, and support your local Farm shops. Most have plenty of fruit, veg, dairy and meat, and you will find that they are a darn sight tastier than any of the supermarket rubbish. Chicken George I'm sure will do a special deal for forum members.

The thick morons stabbing each other over bog-rolls haven't the common sense to realise that there is life outside of Tesco/Sainsbury's et al.... If you are that desperate for 1000 toilet rolls and 100 gallons of disinfectant, then contact your local catering wholesaler - they all have plenty.

Lateral thinking folks......

Yes, I made the move out to the countryside 7 years ago, as I couldn't understand or translate the language anymore

I'm still wondering exactly what the "Mandem batty-clart Crew" is or means, even after all this time!

Grocery chains place more limits on household items.

In separate messages to customers, Australia's two major supermarket chains have both announced they are limiting the purchase of several household items to discourage panic buying.

Both Coles and Woolworths are lowering the limit on sales of basic food items such as rice, pasta, and flour — while paper towels and paper tissues have also been restricted.



One of our top politicians has Coronavirus, seems to have caught it from USA, it couldn't have happened to a "nicer" person. I hope there is a by-election soon!

Speaking of elections, Queensland in having local elections next week. Standing in queues, sharing pencils, touching voting booth material. Probably the only outcome of the elections will be an increase in the mortality rate! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I’m with Greta on this, I’d like to see the most pointless 75% of air travel disappear overnight and not come back.

I’m sure all of the poor sods that have to live near airports and directly under their aircraft flight paths would agree and in terms of CO2 emissions per passenger km, they are chronically wasteful:



Compare the CO2 emissions of a family of 4, clocking up a round trip of 800 miles to go on holiday (even in a Land Rover) with the same family flying a round trip of 4,000 miles and see where the maths gets you...


Answer: 4,560 Kg vs 134 Kg.

And that’s before it turns out to be the most efficient method to spread the next pandemic as quickly as possible
