Take your shaming and your doom and gloom somewhere else.

MaudesMum, do please return and update us.

My money is on your dementors "shaking with anger" at you. Is that phrase on the bingo card? I need to go and look.

My family have a strange denial dementoring thing that it's not in Scotland. Or very little of it. Reassuring my elderly dad it's ok after I mentioned about washing hands. They've about 800 cases we have less than 200 locally in SW. But they keep going.

Willow2017 · 08/05/2020 13:59

Ha ha Tin you cant do that! People in London cant do it so neither should you. You must stay indoors forever as penance.😄

My kitchen smells fab! Made scones and cheese and ham hock muffins. Yummmm. passes them round
What can i make next have shed load of eggs as got freebies from work as officially ood. What a bloody waste.

Where are these people getting their science from?

I really think the level of scientific illiteracy is worrying, ditto the ability to think critically about statistics and odds.

A nice thread remembering when Mumsnet could make you spit your tea out (and not with rage.)

TinRoofRusty · 08/05/2020 14:11

You can freeze eggs, Willow! Yes! I use ice cube trays.

But alas, they are not vegan. Hope you enjoy eating animal flesh (I know I do Grin)!

Those who need a refreshing antidote to Dementing, may I recommend this week's Private Eye.

@HauntedGoat that's excellent- I may make a non essential trip to buy it 😃

Willow2017 · 08/05/2020 14:35

Tin i tried that before. When defrosted they looked decidedly dodgy! Do you seperate them?

rookiemere · 08/05/2020 14:35

I love that cartoon Huntedgoat I wonder if I am brave enough to post it on my FB feed Grin. I'll do just about anything including downloading an app, wearing a mask and taking my chances on a relatively untested vaccine ( or preferably getting an antibody test and if I have had it - which I think I have - taking my chances on the antibodies working for me).

Mascotte · 08/05/2020 14:35

Make a big lovely quiche 😍

Mascotte · 08/05/2020 14:36

Or have French toast for dinner

Topseyt · 08/05/2020 14:37

Sometimes I quite like Private Eye, although I don't buy it. It's a sensible publication.

I do like irony though.

Willow2017 · 08/05/2020 14:37

Havent made quiche in years! Dont even have a quiche dish would have to use a cake tin😀😀

Mascotte · 08/05/2020 14:39

You could just use one without the bottom in it if you have one that comes apart (technical description) I'm craving quiche and other pastry based products but if I make one I'll just eat the whole lot myself as ds won't be keen. Make a vicarious quiche

everythingisginandroses · 08/05/2020 14:44

French toast? You can get eggs? Envy

selfisolatingsince2007 · 08/05/2020 14:44

@heroku I'm that person in our family group on whatsapp, I'm Australian and a little too "she'll be right mate" for my English in laws. They all clap every blood week. I pull the curtains and told my husband if I catch him doing it I'm moving back to Australia and he can't come.

BarkandCheese · 08/05/2020 14:46

That Telegraph article is very interesting. I really don’t know how the government are ever going to persuade a good chunk of the population that it’s safe to go, or stop them from labelling people going about their lives as “murderers”.

selfisolatingsince2007 · 08/05/2020 14:53

Love that telegraph article its bang on the money. This thing has given people explicit permission to be so petty that they're hooked and it won't go away.

iamapixie · 08/05/2020 14:54

Can't believe people are worrying EGGS. People are DYING.
And can I just remind you that Covid has the same death rate as Ebola. No it really does. There was a post about it so it must be true. The reason it doesn't look anywhere near true is because you don't understand anything.
And we need to stop being so patronising about scientific literacy. See how you feel about the importance of scientific literacy when your whole family has DIED.
I have lost the plot having been demented by a 'friend' IRL.
(I never knew you could freeze eggs!)

DominaShantotto · 08/05/2020 14:58

People are not following the RULES in Morrisons.

Our Morrisons (one of those garage forecourt ones) has their social distancing measures comprising of a carefully constructed wall of beer multipack boxes. Trouble is - inconsiderate people keep buying the social distancing measures! I only go in to monitor the battle of the boozers versus the battle of the stock room (and for the Costa machine because I would literally murder for a decent latte right now)

SummerHouse · 08/05/2020 15:01

You can freeze EGGS but remember by freezing you are not killing the VIRUS. That just lies doment till you DEFROST it and will have most likely SPREAD to your ice cubes (which you should not be having as they are non essential).

LivinLaVidaLoki · 08/05/2020 15:02

Oh my God! How have I only just found you people?!!!
Love that bingo card!
