Are you worried yet.

I think you mean 'bear'.

Seriously, guys, it's an obsession. There is nothing I can do!!!!!!

No I meant bare, just checking to see whether your cross lies to the left or to the right

You can get McD’s delivered? There is a god, and he’s American.


Oh wait that doesn’t sound so good now!


On the subject of not being the brightest. This was seen at work on Sunday night. 3 members of staff standing about 6ft apart all wearing masks. All good so far. Brain dead no1 moves his mask to the side, lights up a cigarette, has a couple of drags. He then replaces the mask and hands the cigarette to brain dead no2 who does exactly the same and passes it to brain dead no3.

Edit: Apparently f@g is now a rude word.

Natural selection...

Debenhams gone. Top Shop on brink. British Land (owners of meadow Hall etc) on brink even before covid... Chain restaurants like carluccios gone...
How many bars and pubs will never reopen...
What will our high streets look like after all this...
Anyone know any specialist boarding-up companies I could invest in..

British Land? You sure? I haven’t seen anything to suggest that but possibly have missed it. Last time I looked at them they were very cash rich.

Hadn't looked at their business state, or cash reserves but read a few articles in passing, that they were struggling with shops closing, empty units, general death of the high St with retail rentals being their core business

Edit to say:

Just looked into it more. I previously read something pre covid that implied they were struggling. Looking a bit more, 'on brink' probably too strong so I stand corrected.
Though how much of their tenants survive after all this is anyones guess

I see. I don’t think they’re at risk at all. Certainly not on the brink. Share price is 332.90p, up 18.4p today. Excellent senior management team and a clear strategy. And as well as that, they’re one of the most ethically responsible developers I’ve ever worked with.

Fair enough. I've edited

Good morning guys, (its morning here) has anyone seen the wack celebrities promoting a 5g-Covid conspiracy? News here say people are believing this cr@p, and setting fire to cell towers. OneB's smoking idiots were probably waiting to do just that.

My friend who is an independent funeral director in Barnsley has just told me he has just taken 8 funerals in the last 2 hours, and the mortuary want him to collect and store ASAP.
He probably does about 2 or 3 week a week at max under normal circumstances.


I understand Chris Whitty is back for the 5pm briefing, good to hear he is okay after no news about him.

 

[Phil the Brit]

Funerals huh!
Every cloud has a silver lining, there are going to be some companies who are going to really make hay while the sun shines.

Oddly enough we rewatched Kes last night, filmed in Barnsley. Was reading on IMDB USA release had simplified dialogue/accents - what is it with Americans? We can understand their oddball accents, are ours that much more impenetrable?

He makes hay all the time, people don't stop dieing no matter what the global economy is doing, but this may result in a peak, then a slow down in 'customers' for a while after this is all over.

Someone will always profit when many are in dire straits. It reminds me of a phrase my old man uses "Where there's muck there's money".

Slightly worried now. Anyone heard from @philw696? Is Ms French ok?

Boris now in Intensive care unit.

Boris now in Intensive care unit.

That's not good. Despite his cycling, I don't think he's the fittest of people.

 

[Silvercat]

Breaking news..... Boris Johnson has just been taken to intensive care now! Unbelievable how this dreadful illness just gets a grip....

 

[Contigo]

I said last night he was gravely ill and needing oxygen. It’s not looking good hope he pulls through...
