Meanwhile here at Aer Lingus we've sent two wide-body Airbuses to Beijing to collect supplies to combat CV19, one had to turn back due to bird-strike.

Do you reckon that there might be more birds in the sky with so many planes grounded ?

There's stuff around the airport to scare birds, like fake hawks on wires, they'd work planes or not, but I'd imagine birds will be flocking somewhere in the vicinity in any case...

They have bird patrols that drive round the airport scaring them with recordings of hawks, broadcast through a loud speaker. In the good old days they used crow-scarers, which could scare the sh!t out of you if you were too close when they detonated.

Having just read the food section of the Telegraph on what’s “cooking with what’s left in your pantry” my money is on the Cotswolds or Home Counties apparently it’s getting desperate as no Knorr stockpots are available and they’re having to resort to Oxo cubes.

I'm not sure you are taking the question seriously.

Who do we believe the Government or the BMA ?

Doctors 'gagged' from revealing fears they don't have enough protective kit

Staff on the frontline say they have been warned not to speak to the media during the coronavirus outbreak.

Who lies more? A) politicians who need to pretend they are doing the right thing so they stay in a job B) a vocational group of professionals who have literally nothing to gain from making this stuff up.
anyone who thinks that doctors aren’t telling the truth - I invite you to an all expenses paid tour of the Covid ridden NHS- disclaimer- bring your own mask

Very strange driving round the M25 between M1 and the M40 during rush hour, I could count the cars on one hand. I have known it busier at 6am in a Sunday !!

It's pretty bad. There was absolutely no rhubarb compote at Waitrose in Stroud today.

I wonder if Lewis Hamilton is still getting his £160,000 ISH a day ?

He's done Phil, and it looks like his guru might be leaving Mercedes and going over to head the new Aston Martin project funded by Lance Stroll...
Looks like Michael's record might stand for a few years yet :)
