If you continue to post pretending that this is all some kind of overreaction I won't be able to read the 'box. It's just too distressing. I don't think anyone here thinks this is an overreaction. These are unprecedented times, but making light of an otherwise intolerable situation is a normal and healthy reaction to circumstances largely out of one's control * * barring the obvious and widely publicised precautions, obviously. |

In other words; "Stay with us, Chumbles" in every sense.

DC Utd vs Inter Miami has just started on Freesports. Actual football! Former St Mirren scurrier Lewis Morgan has just set one up.

I assume it's not live. Don't tell me the final score.

I once read about an american guy who only discovered football in his 40s and watched every world cup since 1970 on video without knowing the outcomes. Now I know how that guy felt.

Sweet football.
Chumbles
Not much choice in whether to take it seriously.
It's too serious not to joke about.
Stay well.

I thought sky could run a Premier League using the correct fixtures, but from random years. So you'd have Arsenal v Man Utd from 2003-4, followed by Spurs v Chelsea from say 1993. You might remember some results, but mostly not. Also the random rests would open up the league. Except Man Utd would almost certainly win a random league. It would let me watch loads of games tho. |

Mammal who Tolerates me is in the pub. I have her two children at home. I'm beginning to see why she tolerates me. She's going to catch Coronavirus and give it to me, isn't she? Perhaps she'll bring you home a packet of scratchings - soften the blow? |

I'd watch that. I like the Big Match or whatever it's called where they show football highlights from the 70s and 80s with all the key features of proper football (moustaches, short shorts, mud, and Peter Beardsley). It's great not knowing the scores. |

If you mean me Chumbles, I think I was understating rather than under-reacting. I have been to the pub this week, and it's been very quiet. I won't be going tonight. Edit: also, what Destry and Sheep said. |

Hey Chumbles!
I'm secretly shitting my undercrackers about all this bollocks, but if I didn't take this piss and make jokes (subjective) I'd lose the plot.
Also, I have eight (EIGHT) cans of generic Belgium lager in the shed.
Four stars. Minus 1 cos the kids are now at home. They're already annoying after 6 hours. Only 3 months left to go....
*puts on bird man of alcatraz *

I've been playing Control. It's a Lovecraftian action game in which you walk about a huge office building talking to yourself a bit like Deadly Premonition, in between throwing office furniture at your colleagues who've been possessed by aliens, a bit like what you probably want to do in real life. It's no Horace and the Spoders. 4 stars.

I think we can all agree that Rishi should have told Capcom to release Resi3 tonight, for free, but with customers having the option to pay a fee they think worthwhile.
Pass me that red box!

Isn't it quite a British trait to use light-humour to deflate what is actually an awful thing?
Basically, read our posts, and then assign a 90% terror factor to what we don't say.

I had a good point in my head, unfortunately I couldn't turn it into words.
<edit>Which I suppose is better than the alternative.
