@Hobnobswantshernameback

And if you're pissed does that Wine count as essential shopping??? Well does it??? You could have frozen some grapes in 2004 and now you could suck on them instead Your selfish wine shopping will have killed at least half a granny and I'm shaking i tell you shaking Grin
Fools. They should have grown their own hops or stockpiled homebrew kits. Or distilled their own gin Gin in keeping with proper MN etiquette.

I never venture near the Christmas board
And haven't dared look at the Covid board

Wise choice. Very, very wise choice.

@midsomermurderess

Endless threads asking 'should I report my neighbours' and berating people for having a little sit down on a bench will be a pleasing diversion for many.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

I’m sure we could resurrect some zombie threads from last Christmas - which will be double delight because people will be able to moan about Christmas and the zombie thread resurrection.
Omg, that is genius!!!!
FlouncerInDenial · 01/11/2020 18:44

@Sparklingbrook

That's a great thread, and (actually) I remember it from first time round, but I think that one needs to wait until nearer Christmas to resurrect. What's needed right now is a zombie thread about shopping

I am going to start a rumour that Nicola Sturgeon is going to ban alcohol sales before New Year to reduce the risk of illegal parties in Scotland her hee

Father Christmas is going to be a real super spreader isn't he? Going around everyone's house touching everything and using their glasses and plates. he's an essential worker apparently, but I think he should be furloughed to be on the safe side.

There will actually be parents leaving out a carrot, a mince pie, a beer or milk and some anti bacterial hand gel for sure.

Brexit?

FlouncerInDenial · 01/11/2020 19:33

@Sparklingbrook i adore your style.

If I was better at searching, I'd be looking for a zombie thread to resurrect

Hobnobswantshernameback · 01/11/2020 19:52

Oh those plates people buy off Facebook tat pages with a space for Rudolph's carrot and Santa's mince pie drawn on will have to have a space for the wipes to wipe the presents down and the bottle of hand sanitizer Grin

For several days before hand taped off.

(TBF I quite like the hand santiser idea for shits and giggles).

They'll be one about the way their dc school is proposing they do a nativity.

Involving windows and time slots (which will be really inconvenient) so they can watch
