Surely the point of being single is that you don't have to socialise with 5 other people?
Plus children under 12 may display fewer symptoms, but they can still be carriers and can still get ill. So it doesn't make sense to exempt them. Pre-nursery children it might make sense for.
I'm pretty sure the virus (much like John Peel) doesn't do an age check.

Morning all. silcox: Age of Wonders 3, full set with my mods - ridiculous timesink; I limit myself to maximum 2h otherwise my house would be even more of a pit.** Chumbles, I think you may have mistaken me for someone else. I did indeed; the member selecta has too many Ss- confusing to a man whose short term memory is being destroyed by reading this garbage (not excluding my own). As our fearless leader deduced, I meant stxdprAm I the only one who finds "My Time in Portia" to be pron-prone? And why is the Spoder-man fixing a well in Portia? Definitely a challenging entry point requiring crampons, a rope and an inflatable dildo. This is an author* who's obviously given it a go...  *Did he put the peck into pecker? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

In Germany they got the system up and running whilst Boris wasn't attending Cobra meetings and going on his half-term break. And after word of Classic Dom's eye test got out the government hastily rolled back restrictions before it had the t&t in place. Still not as bad as the US, but that's not much of a consolation. |

People of the Chatterbox, it is my horrid duty to inform you that I believe a vast conspiracy has taken place within this country. One which has done its best to stay unseen from prying eyes. While we have been getting on with business, working as best as we can, safe in the knowledge that our assumptions about the day are sound, this is in fact very far from the truth.
You see, I know that there was some leftover grilled chicken in the fridge. I know it. It was there. I'd seen it with my own eyes! And it was going to be part of my lemon chicken spaghetti lunch.
Yet today, when I already had the pasta on the boil, I reached into the fridge and it was nowhere to be found.
Devastated, I've ended up with some disappointing ham and pea cobbled-together thing.
An investigation will be held.

It makes sense to send children to school so Shenguin doesn't suffer a nervous breakdown. Well to keep his breakdowns to a minimum. |

As if anyone here has more than five friends. Five 'real' friends.
A ham, cheese and pickle sandwich and an old episode of 'Tales of the Unexpected'.
A simpler time. 4 stars.

This will be fun. We’ve scraped the bottom of the right move barrel.

I would much rather take my Gran for a bevvy than visit her house for a cup of tea, partly because I prefer bevvy to tea, and partly because she has been dead for 30 years and I don't know the guy who lives there now.

Am I real or am I scubar?
Previously have purchased AoW3 when on sale due to the amount of times chumbles has spent on it. Anyone recommend Neptune's pride?
Sore throat but no fever, cough or loss of taste. Maybe should stop swimming in the Thames. Any other silly lockdown activities to take up? Think of replacing the water in the fridge water dispenser with wine. I guess you could put vodka in an ice dispenser if you have one...

I have been to the pub in my great grandmother's house. I never met her. She died before I was born. It wasn't a pub when she lived there. In fact I understand she was teetotal. There is a big pub next door which bought the house and turned the front room into a snug. It felt very appropriate knowing she would not approve of me getting pissed there. In fact I got locked in there and had to carry on drinking until quite late (this is in Ireland). They put a picture of my great grandmother & my great aunt in the window when my great aunt died. |

I'm home now as I left work early to go and hang around a school, and picked up a child who isn't mine.
Evidence from China suggests that the virus may carry out an age check, and that -- unlike flu -- children were more likely to get from the adults in their house than to be major spreaders of it.
Schools are more important than pubs. Drinking at home is plausible; educating at home is fucking unbearable.

On the other hand evidence from the last few weeks suggests schools are a hotbed of coughs and colds, and that children are all dirty disgusting virussacks.

My gran was a bit of a secret afternoon drinker.
After my granddad died, I moved back to Liverpool for three years, living just down the road from my 80 year old gran. I’d spend two afternoons a week with her - and it never took long for her to ask if it was to soon to get the brandy out?
It was never too soon!
She also made her own eggnog at Christmas. It was flammable.
