Is the Coronavirus the only thing we can talk about on here now?

[Thepigeonsarecoming]

I know it’s serious, I’m scared too. But don’t you want to talk about other stuff too?

I long for a cat poo in the garden/shoes on or off in the house thread.

Can’t have reclining seats on airplanes/saving tables in cafes thread at the moment.

Seems that in the rush of panic buying that nobody cares where anyone parks to get those loo rolls either.

I have found some relief in watching cats videos online (I don’t even like cats!) The other day there was a video of a koala walking into a pharmacy, 11 full minutes of peacefully joy uninterrupted by thoughts of this nightmare.

I was surprised how long other topics held up. It takes some tunnel vision to post about the lunch habits of the woman at work, at the moment.

The parking threads have dried up. So have the farting ones.

Oh, and I like Brian Cox.

I was thinking yesterday, Sky, Virgin etc could have a good thing here.

We’re in isolation, so yesterday I added Sky Cinema for a month to my package for £15.

They should offer an Isolation Package. Any of the channels you want for 30 days at a time for a set price. Since there’s not much else to do but watch tv! We watched 3 Disney movies yesterday.

Might dragons den that shit, just as soon as I can leave the house

@Thepigeonsarecoming YANBU. I said to DH last night, come back Brexit, all is forgiven.

I wasn't bothered about it last week, and thought 'mass hysteria much? What a load of fuss!' But I have caught up now, and am really worried about CV, and am struggling to get it out of my head. I woke at 6am today, after only 5 and a half hour sleep, and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm off to the shops in half an hour to see if I can get a few supplies. (Not panic buying, just stuff I actually need!)

Give it a week and it’ll be wall to wall; “My DH is a cunt, how do I hide his body”
“How easy is it to put your kids up for adoption”

At least nobody is getting any cheeky unexpected visitors to moan about.

Mothers Day on Sunday. Will anyone dare to have a moan about anything?

🤣🤣

Also will anyone dare rant about delivery drivers leaving packages in their wheelie bins or chucked over the back fence?

No, because they'll be home.
But delivery drivers are more likely to drop and run than before. Or throw them.

On asteroid news, the burst could occur today March 18 at 11:15 p.m. EDT, but it doesn't say where.

Oh, well.

Yes, hopefully nobody will need to touch the horrible delivery handset thing with rubbish pen.

Deliveries I’ve seen are now all doing contactless deliveries. I got a dominos last night and they did it! Called when they got here, left the package on the doorstep and went back to the car. I opened the door when he was back in the car.

I’ve heard dpd etc doing it too, and the delivery drivers are signing for the parcel. Wonder how many will go missing 🤔

Then start a thread about something you do want to talk about.

Then start a thread about something you do want to talk about.

I think the fear now is if you start any sort of other thread the response will be-

'Is that all you are worried about? Do you know we are going through the biggest health crisis at the moment and you are thinking about that? GET A GRIP' etc

Or if you start a lighthearted one you will get accused of not taking the situation seriously.

I'm going to keep commenting on this one every time it drops down, just because it has 'Coronavirus' in the title.

OP were you being deliberately ironic or are you that daft?

In an effort to distract me, my fluffy cat presented me with an enormous poo she'd got stuck to her fluffy bottom last night.

I thought I'd spare MN that particular distraction 😂

Mumsnetters keep me sane!
The brexit debates could be hard core. I miss those days!

Haven't seen a trans thread for ages. Result!

Thanks for this thread. I’ve just stumped up for tv licence as feel
I need as many tv options as poss now. I only watched catch up before and no bbc but sod that. Now going start masterchef. I live alone and have high blood pressure so am restricting human contact and going stir crazy already. Also have craft stuff on order.

Mothers Day on Sunday. Will anyone dare to have a moan about anything

Indeed. Half of MN won’t get a card this year. In fact it will be “DH left the house to buy me a card. Is he unreasonable?”

No one's moaned about a MIL in ages!

Wow absolutely no trans threads you’re right

Yay I miss glad others feel the same, I had to come off here yesterday due to the volume of threads to do with it and don’t start me on my work whatsapp group chat! Over 200 messages yesterday and there is only 10 staff on it! I’ve had enough.

I’m off college and need to get stuck into some work but I’m not motivated enough for this online learning stuff. I need a kick up the arse to get me working!
