First topic message reminder :

I've already sent you mine.
Northern hemisphere fist.

Morning people.
Solihull remains civilised. Had a nice game of recreational tennis yesterday afternoon, as approved by the LTA and the Department of Culture (yes, Culture), Media and Sport.
The orgy afterwards with the over-60s ladies squad probably broke the social distancing rules though.

Did you see the worshippers in the streets of Baghdad yesterday going on some commemorative march despite the imposed curfew? Some of their explanations were hilarious. Totally mad idiots.

How is the leg, Jules? Holding up well?

It seems to be happening everywhere, mass prayers to clear the disease, like those bell ends spraying salt water into mouths at church to cure the virus, and, obviously, the use of a single nozzle spread the virus everywhere...

There's Lourdes of people who could do with a crash course on hygiene.

Leg, elbow, shoulder - they're all falling apart, but I'm not worried. Pretty sure Corona will finish me off first.

I read that in Iran more people have died from drinking industrial strength alcohol to ward it off, than have died from the virus itself.

And they let 85,000 prisoners free too. Imagine the bootleg grog market now. Inshallah... then I guess there's little we can do.

Everybody's got a bug
We could all die any day
But before I let that happen
I'll dance my life away

He had the right attitude.

Have you seen Madonna's bath video? We're all on a sinking ship apparently... so let's go down peacefully.

WFH, Day 1 Lockdown, this is why we can't have nice things.

Good job I hate people.

Fist Family Robinson

Sicond mate on a sinking ship.

Lucky I'm a recluse anyway but Galtova's showing signs of aggression.

Start fattening the cat up in case it all goes west.

Unless the cat is fattening you up for the same purpose.

Testing tird.

The sun will most likely rise on fewer people tomorrow. (If we don't count Africa)

No longer going forth.

Had a late night trip to pick up my daughter from Uni so she wasn't alone for the next month.

Well done, Jules. Mission accomplished with honours.

I only went because she said she had some toilet roll

How far... Birmingham?

A friend dropped off some spare masks here this morning. Now I can see why Zorro felt indestructible.

Nottingham. Figured it was better to go last night than risk getting arrested today.

You probably also avoided any possible ambush from the Sheriff's men.

Her food is probably better quality than ours so might eat the cat without any fattening and then dive into the Applaws and Purina. I do regularly wake up during the night with her sitting right at my face giving me a good stare so I think you may be correct.

My fish still have food, and gills, so I am safe.

I was watching an Asterix movie on the weekend. I'm not Manu Dibango either.

Just had a nice fish dinner... delizioso!

I used to go to the library when I was young and sit in there and read all the Asterix books, still enjoy them to this day.

How goes the antipodes?

Also a big fan of Asterix, and of Tintin.  I was less than pleased when Jack c*nting Whitehall got cast as Asterix and when Spielberg made a complete abortion of the Tintin film.  Makes me hate people in a SerialDAVE sort of way.

Good morning.

Antipodes wet at the moment, Rick.

Sorry for the delay in replying .... I was watching another Asterix movie. French version. Think I've seen most of them.

I remember being curious when younger if the name puns worked in various languages.

The weather here is very nice at the moment, Peej, shame we will get stuck in a gulag if we go out.

Good morning, Galts.

Might knock up a quarantine quiz if we get some folk rocking up

Have a French mate who's also a big Asterix fan and we've had many conversations comparing names and puns, seems they're written individually for different languages.

just signed up for that volunteer shizz, don't think my fish will be too bothered TBH

Afternoon chaps - still too many old people moving about in polite society and making it impossible to maintain the 2 metre rule.

Afternoon, supes.

people appear to have got their shizz together at this end

Day off work for Mrs Marx's birthday.

Just been to The Aldi - very quiet in there - while Mrs Marx went to The Waitrose next door. She had to queue up as they were only letting 33 people in at any time (based on floor area).

As an unexpected bonus The Aldi had Limited Edition Coco Orange Shreddies.

Dominoes Pizza later for birthday meal.

Happy Birthday, Mrs M.

Morning, all, Wilson Fist...

Morning all. Off today but have been woken up by a small person hitting a remote control against my face.

Just put it back in the basement and tell it to keep digging.

You as well as can be expected on this sunny (what I assume to be) Thursday?

Morning all.

Did one of those overnight posts that I thought was really funny... but took it down in your wee hours.

Something about delivering some left over finger food to the noisy kids' grandparents next door and then nearly tripping of the ventilator machine cord on the way out.

I am filling in the blanks, and in my head it is hilarious, nice one, Peej.

Jules should start preparing a black comedy about these times. So much material to play with.

I'll get onto it just as soon as I get my iron lung out of storage.

If the Toilet Roll Tzar lets you.

Just made a flat pack bed with Mrs. D and we didn't fall out, this is an unexpected consequence of Corona. Who knew!

You made a bed and didn't fall out? Presumably because all the legs are the same height.

not when I put the parts together, Jules...

Wotcha, cuppers.

Fist, how we all holding up in these end of days?

So far so good, Rick. I adapt quite well to a crisis. How about yourself?

Tird.

Do you also think which should each have a Key Poster badge in case anyone questions why we're on here during this lockdown-lite?

I am fine, peej, I have lots to keep me occupied, and tend not to get too stressed in these kind of situations. But I have no dependents which makes life easier I guess.

We could do shifts, Galts.

I'm doing better than I was initially when I started WFH again last week. I wasn't really prepared for it, in terms of getting a structure/routine in place for the evenings, to ward off anxiety, isolation worries etc. Had a pretty bad few days, mental health-wise. Not so bad the last 2 or 3 days.

Glad to hear it is getting better, Jules

Morning chaps.

What's the plans for a weekend stuck indoors?

Me and a few friends are going to cheer ourselves up and do a Google Hangout and all watch Engand's heartbreaking defeat to Romania from Euro 2000. We had planned to do a classic match (Italy v Brazil from Spain '82 was a contender) but it was decided that it would be more heartwarming to watch an England exit from a major tournament and the Romania match is an under appreciated classic of its type.
