Had to Google it. Going back to my blissful ignorance. I didn't know either and made a mental note to look it up then forgot about it. No thanks for reminding me. Probably saw the publicity Richard Wilkins got and decided to do the reverse. I'll save you the trouble. Richard Wilkins is an Australian "hey everybody look at me" TV presenter. He claimed to have tested positive although he had no symptoms. Then he claimed to have tested positive again. Then he claimed to have tested positive again. By this time people were starting to rip into him for burning up test kits which were in short supply at the time and he went quiet or at least below my radar. On Sam Smith Smith explained they started to get symptoms of the illness before the UK was significantly impacted, and said that within a week, their sister “started getting the same symptoms”. The 'How Do You Sleep?' hitmaker and their sister self-isolated for three weeks in order to protect their family. “I've got an older Nan, so we didn't want to risk anything,” Smith said. Is the sister and the Nan part of them, their and they or are they separate vessels? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtong2k Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Right now I’m looking to book a holiday at the end of June to LOS because that’s when I’m predicting it will be kind of normal-ish. UK has a further 3 week lock down and then will start easing it in phases so I’m looking around for potential flights to get out of Dodge and into Sin City 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galenkia Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 About to go into meltdown. Trying to access my Nationwide account online but my card reader ain't working. Gone through the re register process 3 times and none of the codes work so have to wait 30 minutes to try again. All I want to do is increase my monthly credit card payments so I don't get hammered on interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Arguing with Lefty Corbyn fuckwits on Facebook. There's a local facebook group for my area, it's an informative, decent group. There was thread started from a news article about an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi's funeral over the weekend, where I said it was sad, but they community in the main still does not adhere to social distancing, and I fear for not only them as a community, but also my own family as we live very close. Well f**k me, I've been called everything from racist, anti semetic to crass, and I don't mean the Punk band ffs! Had a look at a few profiles, momentum and Corbyn fuckwits I'm fucking firing into them, saying listen, it's the truth, and you will certainly not stop me telling because you don't like to hear it! Told them they're getting on like fascists, trying to censor or stop people telling the truth, but that irony is obviously beyond their intellect! It's going well, stops you getting bored on a Tuesday night with no football 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I have been digging out dandelions from my lawn most of the afternoon. I am now relaxing in a chair whilst my body starts to stiffen up. Getting out of bed in the morning may be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really holding out for a best case scenario but take your point we might be ok back home but other places may not be as welcoming. I guess I’ll have to still go around dressed in my giant condom for a few more months. Dare I say I need a pet (nope you sickos) as in something to keep me company and focused on simple things.

andycoll Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hoping to get a Thailand/Myanmar/Vietnam trip in from November into December. Not rushing out to book any flights though.
