"I can't go outside, might get Covid-19."
"I can't go outside, will freeze to death in less than a minute."My wife and I had a 3 week trip of a lifetime to the states planned for her 40th birthday in August. That's not looking too likely right now.
God that sucks

God I am a cranky old man.
This global citizen concert bullshit is on. I don't need fucking Paul McCartney to tell me healthcare workers are doing a great job. Also Paul McCartney can't sing for toffee any more.

BECAUSE IT ISN'T PAUL McCARTNEY

A couple of my punting mates are dance dads. They are loving lockdown. Suddenly Saturdays are theirs again!
Dance dads? Does not compute. What this mean?
Poor saps doing drop offs and pick ups for their little darlings. They are the ones with the dead eyes
I love watching my 6 year old daughter doing ballet. One of my favorite things.
Totally unrelated fact - the teacher is absolutely smoking.
Miss TA is now 12, and they added a pilates class to her weekly routine.
The 50yo instructor would give some of the ladies half her age on this thread a run for their money.

Get fucked. The crisis has reached its nadir.
It has become another reason for celebrities to pontificate at me about how i need to do more to help the world. Fuck your own face David Beckham.

Just turn them off, don't give them your eyeballs. They're all attention whores, you know what they're going to do if you watch.

working my way through the edmonds cookbook - the edition that doesn't have crap like reduced fat or sugar-free or anything requiring Kale, low fat (pseudo)milk, tofu or other militant vegan shit.
Rocking old school. I like it

3 and a half weeks into isolation and I manage to catch a bit of a cold, how does that happen? Although my youngest is a snot merchant, but surely I was exposed to that weeks ago?
Ah, lockdown. Gives you the time to ponder the intricacies of muthafuckin viruses.
-
@mariner4life not ideal, but as long as we can credit it for later or get the money back, we can go in 2021 instead. Part of the trip was Summerslam in Boston, so I'm thinking Wrestlemania in April instead.

I love being able to eat as much as I want regardless of calories, carbs whatever - my metabolism seems to work best when large quantities of sugar, dairy, pigmeat, caffeine and breads are involved. Still weigh less than I did at college and pretty much have been ale to buy 77cm waist trou ever since

For a while there in the 60s and 70s, the birth certificates used to have a place for "Birth Status" - mine said illegitimate. Truly I am a bastard and proud of it

Just so people have an idea of why the edmonds cookbook is my bible now, here's a snapshot of part of my cooking library as it once was and why I really would like to grab my books particularly. Notable titles are all but two Graham Kerr cookbooks and almost all extant episodes of the Galloping Gourmet

Swing that straight into the too hard basket and get them to ring in sick for the day!

Phone in your own bomb threat and cancel classes for the day.

@dogmeat said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@nzzp @Kirwan They were asked about the COVID card last week at one of the pressers. Enthusiasm seemed lukewarm at best.
The article to me reads like (yet another) agenda article leaked to the press to try and gain traction.
Given that Cindy has said numerous times we would only consider an opt in application I have other more pressing things to get all angsty about. Like it's now over 4 weeks since the pubs shut
Seriously, how good is the day going to be when they finally open the pubs again? It'll be like NYE for young and old alike, an 11am start, one of those sessions where you eat 3 meals at the same establishment over 12+ hours. Random hugs with folk, strangers shouting each other rounds of drinks, boisterous chat with random blokes at the urinal.
