ADs predict wine and rioting before 6.30pm (but only if the sun's out)

[Dowser]

Over here peeps.

Not much sun today..so plenty of wine it is

Fucking hell. This seems never ending.

@KaronAVyrus it’s posturing I think. They are showing what they think they can do.

I had a friend inside my house for a cup of tea today. Sadly, we didn't die

The problem with being resusitated is the damage it does. Very rarely does it work the way it does on TV. Having a DNR is a valid choice at any age and a personal choice. It has nothing to do with not wanting to live.

I always wear make up and straighten my hair everyday. I look like a pig in a wig anyway, so every little helps.

I am hoping that the Leicester lockdown is basically what has already been announced with added hysteria. This seems to be how the media are reporting Covid.

It’s ridiculous though because surely if they want to go shopping etc people can just go to other towns 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes the thing about Leicester is that it's in the middle of the country. It's surrounded by other places.

Are they planning to confine everyone to barracks?

I do love the randomness of the cross posts. Luckily we're all of the gallows humour variety so the occasional inappropriateness is what makes these threads even better! I'm in a good mood this evening as I've just binged Staged. Any of you seen it? On iplayer, David Tennant and Michael Sheen. It's just glorious and only 15mins/episode which is all my attention span can cope with atm. Highly recommend it.

Just hoping it’s not Leicestershire as a whole. Doesn’t seem that way so far.

It’s a fucking shit show. Pandemics have come and gone in the past but because we think we have all the medical knowledge to defeat it now (we don’t) and there should not be one unnecessary sadly death (there will) it is going to drag out for years.

And I was pissed off by some dementoring on Twitter from someone who was ‘bemused’ why anyone would choose to leave the house. Oh do fuck off.

I loved Good Omens so think I should catch up on Staged. How many eps is it?

@Drivingdownthe101 someone suggested locking down the whole of the East Midlands. Lets just hope its more hysteria.

Only 6. Their relationship is joyous. 'Tis very sweary and I know you are a sensitive bunch so did just want to give you advance warning

Staged is 6 episodes. It’s good. It is literally the only telly I have watched during lockdown.

I think I mentioned that as it being my fear. People commute so much between the three cities here that it's likely to be the next threat. DD1's teacher (and meant to be DD2's next year comes up the motorway from there).

If our school has to close 3 days after the headmistress has managed to get all kids back in I think the headmistress will have an actual breakdown!

Switched on BBC Parliament to Matt Hancock saying "... this terrible virus".

Jon Ashworth looked really pissed off.

Oh, plenty of people in Scotland think the whole of England should be locked up permanently. I would say "so we can go out", but they also seem very determined that people here shouldn't go out either. At least, if we do then we shouldn't enjoy ourselves and we should all wear masks always.

It would be seriously rubbish if that happened @Drivingdownthe101 fingers crossed it doesn't.

Part of my keeping up my grooming regime is in case I Sadly Die. Though more in case I'm murdered and there are photographs.

If I was younger and had any musical talent I would form a rock group called the Sadly Dead.

""These Leicester-specific measures will apply not just to the city of Leicester, but also to the surrounding conurbation, including for example Oadby, Birstall and Glenfield," the Health Secretary said"

Not sure quite how surrounding he's talking about.

Nus Ghani asking why the fuck they're closing schools (I paraphrase). Matt Hancock going, "uh-uh-err, still working out, um, schools, um, don't know, um, children low risk but err, food processing factories."

About the best I've found detailing what's being done. Glenfield, Birstall, Oadby mentioned, schools closed, non essential retail and the relaxation stuff delayed.

I feel like crying. There is no hope.
