Re: Coronabollocks..

There is a hotel in our village (was a Coaching Inn) which has been closed for several weeks due to corona virus.
Today I see that the police have taped off the tables and chairs at the front (they are fastened down).
Looks like a crime scene.

Re: Covid - 19: How is it affecting you?

At one stage in my career I was quite competent on Telex.
I could communicate with customers in Australia and NZ, sending my message 'after work' and have a reply waiting next morning.

AIUI dentists disinfect their equipment using an autoclave - sort of like a pressure cooker I believe.

Now we're being told that if medical/care staff fabric PPE is washed in water hot enough to kill the virus it ruins the structure of these fabric devices so that they no longer act as a virus barrier.
I would like to see more evidence of that claim.

Re: Foo Fighters...

Meanwhile, there is to be a flypast over the house of the 100-year-old WWII veteran, but the public have been requested not to assemble to watch. It was meant to be a surprise! "What was that?" "Damn - missed it!" I suppose that, as they will not disclose the time, people will have to spend all day ...

Does that make these now officially unidentified?

Went past the local B & Q this morning and the car park was full and couldn't see anyone queuing so social distancing would have been difficult. Mrs 1DC wants some wallpaper paste but we aint going if it is like that.."
Need another clue. That one is TOO hard for me.

Dogs out just over 2 hours. I am struggling with these 07.00 starts just like shift work again.
Don't knock it - at least they exercise themselves - and stay healthy (fights not withstanding).

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV

I have studied dogs' body language throughout my life (my parents bred Aberdeen terriers before my earliest memory), and although I can generally get it right, there is the occasional dog that doesn't comply.

How nice - dogs can be amazing companions.
Their various actions communicate their feelings - if you study how they behave.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV

It would be interesting to stand down the senior management of hospitals and have military control.
It might take a couple of days for them to find out the 'what's where'.
