Don't forget to heavily wash your keyboard with gel several times a day.

And welcome back, good to know you're fine, raising a glass to your return.

Similar stuff in France, the first 30 mins /1 hour are for elderly only in many places now.

Following the buying fever from only a few days ago it appears that things have slowed down considerably here. Went out today for the first time since Monday and all shelves are almost full, even the pasta ones despite some choices missing. The striking thing is the empty streets and grocery stores....

I'm expecting every evening Italian figures to have sings of hope. And tonight it finally came: +12.6% increase in known infected cases, the lowest ratio since the start of the epidemic in your country. Your confinement methods work and your curve is going to further flatten in the coming days. It'...

45-50 can't remember. I found that very surprising but that's what it looks like allegedly, that was from a guy in charge in an hospital in the NE of France. You have kids in their 20's in there. Sh*t stuff. That would be consistent with the email I received. They're getting help from the army fiel...

Juste vu l'allocution de Macron, pas de regroupement même dans les parcs, no mention about doing the groceries. What's the deal with this ? ??? He did say going for groceries is fine.

I have received an email from a doctor at Necker who said this will be measured in months rather than weeks... They are very worried. He said the confinement is necessary. Predictions were showing that we were aiming for 30million French people contaminated with a peak in 50 days. He also said that...

So Schengen closing its borders for 30 days. France implementing strict confinement and massive financial support for businesses and individuals, including 300bn euros guarantee for loans, loans stay, suspension of utilities bill. Confinement is pretty short for now, only 2 weeks. Bit surprised by ...

Boris about to address the nation. I just hope he doesn’t shut schools. That would be a big mistake, taking key health workers away as they have to look after their kids and loading other kids on vulnerable grandparents. The French compromise is to only allow kids of health workers attend schools a...

The University here is closing for the next 7 weeks. Various sources seem to confirm a 45-day confinement for France, starting Wednesday. Emmanuel Macron to speak at 8PM.

Not sure the french actually understand how bad the situation is. I was driving along the nearby park this afternoon and it was packed with people basking in the sun, children piling up on the outdoor kid games... Great way to self isolate. :? France should be closing in the next 2 days with people...

Can I be a dick for moment, but isn't the economic impact from all these job losses going to be far worse the 3% of people dying of the virus? Suicides and deaths of despair are going to skyrocket. I expect this post to set a few people off so I'll stop posting for a few pages. Yeah but it's funera...

Checked my food, water, and ammunition supplies, just in case. Seeing as bog roll and pasta are Holy Grail items in my neck of the woods, today I shall mostly be stocking up on crossbow bolts. And cheap gin. Perhaps some box-sets. It's odd. Around my way the shelves are pretty well stocked I notice...

Watched the women, the number of balls thrown around instead of passing was staggering. So many opportunities thrown out the window.

So all the UK evacuees are being sent to accomodation on the Wirral peninsula. These plas are you ars in the making and if the outbreat spreads the Wirral can effectively and easily be isolated from the rest of the population. Should have put them on a Scottish island just to piss off Sturgeon. Mea...

This is Rugby XIII for you. It's already making waves pretty much all around.

The Top 14 clubs (Rugby XV) that his agent approached told him to get lost.

Just watched the TV report on "Envoyé Spécial" a few minutes ago. Chilling stuff. The most disturbing thing being that the boards of those sports clubs know about it and prefer to act as nothing is happening. 27000 abuse claims every year, not counting all those that are kept silent. :uhoh: On a si...

Any news of anything happening on 17th Dec? Planning on filling the car with Booze in Calais and it would be just my luck that the dock would be closed/barricaded Should things turn sour (the yellow jackets are still brewing in the background), the 17th looks close enough from the 5th.

To our dear visiting friends from around the World... we will be officially closed on Thursday 05 December (to start with, no hurry).

Brutal power to suffocate England and then those tries at the end, top stuff, well deserved, bravo.

Congrats SA, totally suffocated England and 2 great tries with that, well done.

Remarkable absence of Bin Skin Poor Skinny - I knew there was something missing from this final. Apart from running rugby, some back moves and perhaps a try. This is the game SA have been playing for nearly two years. They’ve become very good at it. I've seen Kolbe run and score some nice tries. It...
