Yet I've just watched a news report out of Italy that suggests that the lockdown it's working in the manner that they had hoped and may yet be extended.

This wasn’t the same person CF who the other week, not at tour own course said something along the lines of,” If you think I am going to replace my divots you can think again”!
Pot kettle black perhaps!

That stuffs like drinking rocket fuel, tried on tour there once and I swear I went blind after drinking it, horrendous stuff. Wouldn't touch it again if you were offering ne a large cash sum to do it. Absinthe is the other one can't touch the stuff after a night out in Hameln many years ago even the thought of it gives me the shakes ?Having drunk potato mash vodka in Russia and Potcheen in NI I'll take my chances
Spent a 12 hour day working with the technicians and consultants to set up the overflow room, get signage organised in between fielding a host of other ad hoc "can you do" requests. Scary as I said earlier to see what stock the technicians have now, even for "business as usual" let alone anything more full scale. Yes we know it's promised but the chief technician can't find where it is and when its coming

Hi, you got £2k to chuck about? No , me neither. If the government have got no balls to cancel all air travel, then they leave me with no choice.

Just got 2 packs of Taylor's finest to see me through the siege - and I'm keeping them. I had trouble getting Coffeemate until I tried Iceland in desperation and was amazed that they had big 1kg tins.

I’d be gone in your shoes as well, rather be locked down in the sun than here. If the uk will let you go, Portugal happy to take you and your healthy, you get gone! had an email from Amendoeira golf saying business as usual but the bar will shut 8.30pm and to use the hand sanitizers.
I’ll be supporting a restaurant and pubs this weekend until the government grow some balls and lock us down.
Suggest you check what's happening in Portugal. As of 2 hours ago, essential travel only, all shops, bars and restaurants closed. Only groceries and chemists to open. 15 days shutdown.

Our until some of the public grow some decency and listen to advice to help protect everyone, especially the vulnerable.

Of course you have a choice. You just don’t like it.
TBH though, I love the fact that you’re playing a game of chicken in which only one of you can lose. If you fly then they win. If you stay then they win. You just aren’t quite bright enough to realise that you’re playing against loaded dice!

Lot of opinions out there, this isn't a great read

Listened to a call from an intensive care consultant in a London hospital on Tom swarbrick on LBC last night about midnight. The Dr was on a break and he very emotionally and angrily talked about those still carrying on as normal in pubs and restaurants in London and cramming together in supermarkets. His unit is already full and they are out of ventilators and the nurses do not have proper PPE - they are putting their lives at risk. Yet so many are ignoring the exhortations. You could hear he was scared as well as angry - he said unless things change dramatically and immediately in people’s behaviour this is going to be catastrophic.
To be honest it really scared me - and if you can listen to it I guarantee it’ll scare you too. Government MUST shut down everything now. Its caused me a huge issue around taking a meeting I am due to run tonight. I took one last night and everybody was good and the dozen folk at it sat 2m apart and no physical contact at all for the whole time. However the one tonight will inevitably be harder to organise that way.
At this moment NOTHING matters more than isolation. Everything else can be sorted.
i don’t see a link to it but see reaction on his twitter feed.

It’ll be on LBC (Global Radio Player catch-up at 00:10 this morning)
Frankly and honestly I’m scared.

My MIL and FIL have just been to Tenerife, should've been there til next saturday.
Come back last night as Ryanair had cancelled there flight coming home next week so theyve paid over the odds to get home, the resorts are on total lockdown, people in hotels are banished to their rooms.
They were lucky they had a good sized balcony where they were staying so they could sit and drink in the sun. They were told that Jet2 are on lockdown from this Monday and there'll be no more flights in or out the country.
I understand you dont want to lose money, not many of us working class folk can afford to lose that amount of money, but if it's anything like what they've just experienced you wont be a happy chap.
Good luck with your decision

Hmmm. Despite the general inadvisability (stupidity??) of travelling (and indeed Hobbit's recent post about Portugal) you'll be wanting to check your travel insurance. With the FCO already advising against all foreign travel, you may easily find yourself without cover - ie up a certain creek without propulsion. Rather risky in my view.
