Genuinely locked down, because the wife has taken both sets of keys... Only found out after I changed to go for a midday run.
Am I misunderstanding?
Why are you locking your doors during a lockdown? You think burglars are active? You think people will randomly come by and discover you are not there and knick some stuff?
Could you imagine the size of the testicles of a burgler trying his luck during the middle of the day and with everyone ordered to be at home?Two issues:
- Secure access requires electronic tag.
- With a lack of businesses open, petty cash thefts are more difficult for meth heads. Desperation makes them brazen.
I didnt know you lived in a prison.

For the time being, you can stick your wine.....

Yeah I'll fly through 4-5 (440ml) in a couple of hours these days and still be "sober". Very rare for a box to last a weekend.

Some good news for me, my preferred PC case is not only now classed as essential, it's in stock so I can order it. In terms of the lockdown news, I won't personally be affected as I'm unemployed and in the at risk category so being able to generate a little commission work will be good once the PC is up and running.
I'm hoping that the reversion to Level 3 won't see a bunch of people just deciding that they can visit this place because it's no longer level 4. way too many people at risk here
so yeah I'm pleased that they decided to extend it by two working days and included Anzac weekend. I don't have as much faith in people's ability to actually think beyond their own personal gratification.

Same, and that's before moving onto the wine. I'm especially grumpy tonight so am also extra thirsty.

I bought 12 beers on lockdown eve too and I still have two in the fridge they're not from the same dozen mind.
I'm into Rieslings at the moment. Been trying a selection from around the globe all 20-25 years old Had a Mesh from Eden Valley with Confit duck tonight. Still drinking well although it's a youngster at 05.
Finishing off witha chilled Belvedere vodka while watching The Who Live at Kilburn from 77. Moon was definitely certifiable

My beer fridge currently contains 12 Heineken Double Zero's, 6 Brewdog Punk AF IPA (non alcohol), a few shipyards zero and around 40 cans of coke (some zero, some diet, and some full fat).
I will have a temporary hiatus the coming weekend, but it won't last.
When drinking with the wife, I much prefer wine. But like others, getting slaughtered is for days gone by.

i got absolutely rolled last night. couple of beers and a sneaky punt in Hong Kong mid-arvo turned in to beers with the neighbour, then 2 lots of video beers. fridge is empty, stubbies everywhere. Mr and Mrs mariner hungover trying to sort out kids technology issues
Phone in your own bomb threat and cancel classes for the day.
I really hate people who do things by halves.

Well my lockdown seems very different to all yours.
Mrs JC won’t drink any more than a single glass once in a blue moon and I’m not really a George Thorogood type. We’ve literally had one bottle of wine since the lockdown started and that’s it. An Alpha Domus Aviator since you’re all wondering 😉.
I have a drinking buddy who lives in Auckland now who I go on a proper blowout with whenever I’m up there but she’s the only one and I suspect it’ll be a little while till we catch up again.

And you call it a beer fridge.

Yes. It normally contains beer. Here she is in her prime.

@MajorRage That looks like a stock photo off the net. We need to see a pic of you sprawled out in front of an open fridge with empty bottles all around you. Maybe something from last week would do?

I think that pic was cricket World Cup final day. It was close to empty at the end. Just the coke still standing I believe

@MajorRage very orderly, I like it. Kopperberg is very refreshing too.

Ok you get your beer pussy card rescinded. Be more careful in future.
