Correct. Outside the forum you are just an idiot.
Ahh, Mr 12", thank you ? And take care yourself, hope you are being cautious and self-isolating over there.
Did she write them on bananas? I ONLY accept platitudes that have been written on bananas. Geez, what an asshole.
Shit, pep pep, this has gotten really sucky really fast. They've been talking at work about cutting hours. I ain't NEVER gonna get back to Greece or London at this point. I mean I know there are more important concerns but still.... greece and London are important too (as is being able to pay rent! *sigh*). shit I hope dreamyneil 's gonna be okay. He's a frail Lil wisp of a thing, you know. You, dreamyneil and bun bun need to take good care of yourselves!! (Not me, I've already had it. No one believes me when I tell them that though )
I can't believe this is the state of things
I know, you have to ask yourself, 'Apart from the threat of imminent death, how exactly is my life going to be much different?' You are right of course about keeping people in lockdown indefinitely - I think that's why we have been trying to put it off for as long as possible, but things here are escalating rapidly now. It's quite hard to get your head around because it's all happened so fast. Daughter's GCSEs are cancelled and school is shut. Younger son is being allowed to finish his college course from home (college is shut). Eldest son works for a law firm and is now working from home. If the Corona doesn't get us, we will probably kill each otherOh Pep Pep, I’ve been self-isolating for months.
We are still relatively free over here, there is no lockdown (yet). I think maybe it’s the better approach - they cannot keep millions of people prisoners in their own homes for the foreseeable future because instead of a virus people will start dying from depression, suicide and violent crime.
You're so right, pep pep. I'm now in a room by myself with Czech guy because four people are no longer allowed to be in a room together. I think he checks out on Sunday (to go back home early) and after that I'm hoping I'll have the room to myself. I was so relieved when I saw the sign posted on the door because I was getting about ready to murder Ryan from Langford with his 2am binges on bags of candy complete with much sloppy chewing sounds and rustling of bags. I said to him last night "how much candy are you going to eat? ". "Probably all of it", he said. "Are we going to gave to listen to it all night?", my inner morrissey had to ask. He said "probably", grabbed his coat and left, slamming the door. Immature jerk!Can't believe the Czech guy's biggest worry, staying in a hostel, during the biggest global health crisis for a century, is not seeing any bears Think I would be tempted to eat the cheesecake AND open the window, to spite him for his stupidity.
Money-wise, new things here are being announced on a daily basis. The latest message seems to be that everyone will be protected, even if it means doling out free money for a time. I'd be surprised if other countries aren't doing something similar. But if you're worried about not earning enough, you could do a lot worse than joining the emergency services! Especially since you're now presumably immune - Rifke, they need you!!
Can you drive? Guaranteed jobs delivering groceries right now, they are desperate for more drivers since those selfish bastards keep stealing all the delivery slots.
Your fat squirrel should think itself lucky it's not in China, no doubt it would have been eaten by now. Then we would all have a new, squirrel-borne disease to look forward to.
Thanks bun bun, that helps. It seems like five lifetimes ago you and I were talking about meeting in Greece.Don't stop dreaming of Greece and London. They can't keep us all locked up forever. ?
I just got really creative with a pair of shears...and I actually like how my hair turned out!
Thanks bun bun, that helps. It seems like five lifetimes ago you and I were talking about meeting in Greece.
Glad to hear from you. I think swedens approach is the better one. If there was a time frame on it, like "right, for three weeks we all need to into isolation and do this and that" and afterwards everything will go back to normal it would be okay. It's the indefinite nature of it, the lack of clarity that's so hard to deal with. Our daily lives right now are not any fun and you can't plan anything in the future to look forward to. I don't think the anxiety and depression is worth it.
These are challenging times to be sharing a room with sloppy chewers! I think your Inner Morrissey is speaking for the Inner Morrissey in all of usYou're so right, pep pep. I'm now in a room by myself with Czech guy because four people are no longer allowed to be in a room together. I think he checks out on Sunday (to go back home early) and after that I'm hoping I'll have the room to myself.

I don't have my licence, pep pep! I'm just gonna sit around and eat cheesecake until this thing is over. How do you make gin and tonics? I think I'm gonna start drinking them so I need to know. A GOOD gin and tonic, not a mediocre one.
I think what will help Sweden (and Canada?) is the fact that relatively few people live in a very big country - I mean our population is half that of London. And Swedes are not very social beings and tend to stay at home a lot anyway, plus we have the highest number of single households in the world - we are natural social distancers.
Time will tell what the better approach was. Our prime minister will address the nation tonight, so the curfews are coming here, too...
I completely agree with you. I understand they have to do this and I'm social distancing and doing whatever I have to do as a responsible citizen, but if this drags on I'd rather be dead than having to live in this dystopian nightmare.
haha yeah, I love it how Morrissey does that <3These are challenging times to be sharing a room with sloppy chewers! I think your Inner Morrissey is speaking for the Inner Morrissey in all of us
Gin and tonic? Let's see, I'm no expert but I think it's gin + tonic water.
Well, if you get bored of the cheesecake's company and work lays you off, you will probably find yourself in great demand somewhere having already had the virus. At my local Tesco right now you could probably name your price as a shelf stacker.
Feels like I'm just waiting now for one of my family to cop it. There are one or two whose chances I don't much fancy. I am quite a pragmatic person but I'm finding it hard to keep a level head right now. Can't believe I actually told my ex to 'Go ahead, just die' on the phone the other night, then hung up on him [Context: he was being rude and sneery at some advice I gave him to ward off the virus - he's in the 'at risk' group - but still...] Still feel bad about it, perhaps I need to channel my Inner Morrissey somehow. Moz wishes death routinely on people and doesn't seem troubled by it.
im wondering what oxford street in London looks like right now. when i was there it was shoulder to shoulder people.I think what will help Sweden (and Canada?) is the fact that relatively few people live in a very big country - I mean our population is half that of London.

Fully agree. Even the light of the sun seems to be more yellow in a way I seem to remember from childhood.Life without the noise of cars is beautiful. The sky is more blue, the air is better.
