Improvise something, Yoda - clothes drying racks you might usually use indoors, or drape clothes on chairs outside (two chairs placed a few feet apart are good for a bed sheet), or a string washing line... it’s Viz wartime top tips all over again :wink:

Cycling into Lewes for work (0530hrs) these last few days there’s been a pensioner out on his bike having a cycle before the day gets started. With bike lights you can go out after dark on fairly deserted roads. As a key worker and road cycling commuter who works a 24/7 shift pattern my...

Washing out at 1045hrs, back in dry and done by 1445hrs. Result. Time to do all those bedsheets and towels NSC!

Just finishing Series 2 of Romanzo Criminale, a must watch for Gomorrah fans. Great acting, great tunes, great cars, gorgeous Italian women (and men).

Without being too graphic, I haven’t been off the loo all morning, 10 trips so far. Anyone experienced similar?

Less good news, more completely freakin’ absurd. Me to my 83 year old mum earlier: “You and dad really shouldn’t go on the bus to Eastbourne tomorrow.” Her response: “Oh it’s okay, we suck Extra Strong Mints as soon as we get on the bus.” :ffsparr:

The one you never get tired of (unlike repetitive threads like this) Wall Street - classic Oliver Stone, brick phones, 80s hair and trench coats, but who cares? If I had one US dollar for every time I’d watched it...

I’d try and do it before tomorrow if at all possible. Definitely a weekend to avoid shopping if you can.

Thankfully some of them have yet to work out that macaroni is actually pasta.

As someone who has battled social anxiety his whole life this is business as usual, I’ve always avoided pubs and crowded places (the Amex excepted) so life hasn’t changed all that much in that sense. Perversely though, I’ve no anxiety over the virus whatsoever, not even for family, as I’m sure...

Relatives who live miles north of Sydney, isolated rural area, told to get food in in anticipation but no other restrictions unless cases ramp up.

My non car driving elderly parents disposed of an entire 3 seater sofa over the course of several weeks or months by breaking it up and putting a small piece or 2 into high street bins in town each time they went shopping. Who needs the tip?

Morrisons earlier, one half full trolley in the aisle had 5 x 4 packs of baked beans in it, the trolley owner elsewhere. Was very tempted to take a couple of them out and return them to the scantly stocked baked bean shelf.

People will be cow and sheep rustling soon. We’re going to end up just like North Korea, Kim il Johnson at Number 10 the only fat c**t in the entire country and people looking hungrily at other people’s dogs when they’re out walking them.

You get the impression that many people here in Sussex will carry on as normally as possible until the mortality stats start rising locally, and in amongst all the scathing ‘keyboard’ NSC condemnation and outraged judgements for doing so it is perfectly understandable why people would do that.

As said before, the home curfew advisory was to come into effect this weekend for the over 70s I thought, unless they’ve shifted it.

Libraries are shutting, all loans not due back until June now. I’ve just panicked borrowed my card maximum of 20 books (thrillers), which I can’t imagine being an issue on here because no one uses libraries any more :smile: Seaford Tesco Express shut for 20 minutes for a delivery earlier...

She opened some garden centre (?) near Shoreham or Portslade too back in the day (1986?). I think half of the crowd in attendance were barely pubescent schoolboys (as we were).

A lot of elderly people can’t get their head round it though, and not just the stupid ones. They aren’t being wilfully selfish, they don’t see it in terms of being a risk to others. As ever, people on here are quick to rush to judgement.

It will be called selfish by many, especially on here, but some elderly people with limited natural time left on this planet will not want to spend months indoors watching repeats of Homes Under the frickin’ Hammer.
