Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

being a taxi driver I now have a job worth sod all ,no school runs noairports and nobody going out to the closed down pubs and clubs, I think i will have a word with the local kebab house and see if they want a delivery driver for the duration of the virus.

A few restaurants around here are doing home deliveries... might be worth a punt to ring a few of them too.
 
On the basis that there's nowt sport-wise on TV, the gym is closed and pretty much everything else too, I'm off for my first game of golf in 2020. I am so out of practice that even remembering where my shoes are is a challenge - heaven alone knows what will happen when I swing a club!

And the good thing is that it doesn't matter!:LOL:
 
Niece went to the local supermarket early this morning as her husband is classed as vulnerable, only be told to Foxtrot Oscar by one of the elderly as she didn't look old, sick or vulnerable. :rolleyes:

When she got in & spoke to the manager, he said he has already had 4 members of staff walk because, and I quote, "we aren't paid enough for the abuse that we are receiving."

There are times that being British embarrasses me. :mad:

Herself was out and about yesterday... Being generous she advised about 10% had got the message... In one queue, one lady politely reminded another about "social distancing"... The response was "if you are in the at risk group you shouldn't be out"... First lady responded, a whole lot less politely, along the lines of... What's it going to take for the penny to drop we are all now in the 'at risk group'....

Frilford's non covered range is close by and I usually buy some cards for it in the summer. Brought forward that purchase as I'll feel more comfortable going there when quiet - it doesn't have "bays" so easy to spread out. Perhaps part of the new normal.
There were no baskets though, I've a hunch they were cleaning them overnight and forgot to put them out, luckily had a bag in the boot to use.

Our non covered practice ground is shut. It's only open to members and paying visitors on the course though normally.

Yeah I was in UK for the first time in years last week so I saw a bit of it first hand too. Just scraped back into the country before we locked down

He's definitely still lurkung as he has liked a few of my posts recently but not sure why he's not posting, perhaps a run in with MODs, we've all had those on occasions. But that's merely speculation, hopefully he and his family are well and unaffected by the virus.
 
My partner is a renal nurse and is being deployed elsewhere, her unit is permanently short staffed, she said they (the NHS) are expecting an absolute sh!t storm coming down the track.

A few are delivering here too, but seeming they don't accept cash you can only pay by contactless card.
Not sure how that works without WiFi :confused: Just another thought will putting a carry out in a microwave kill the virus
