Happy 94th to Her!

Going through them. Former interim PM of Libya Abdurrahim El-Keib dead at 70 from a heart attack: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-21/former-libyan-premier-el-keib-dead-after-heart-attack

For a cough I always keep pholcodine linctus in the house. Unbranded and cheap, usually have to ask for it at the pharmacy counter. I'm not sure it's as effective as it used to be as I fear that as usual they may have removed the ingredient that made it work but it always used to help me get off to sleep when the cough was at its worst. Try it and see.

BMI is a load of shite, mind you. Just saying. My best BMI was when I was chronically underweight and visiting A&E for lung problems! Now that I keep regular exercise (the lockdown is getting in the way somewhat) to battle my asthma, and eat properly, I am a lot better health wise than I was then, and my BMI is much worse!

Oh look! A thread I’ll ne’er post in!

Fucking unique DDP pick, that's who.

Each to his own, but I love that show. Sometimes it's just a fleeting reaction from a character that made me LOL.

Thank feck. I was beginning to think one of the side effects of this thread was finding out I'm the only person on the forum who still actually drinks. Although it's just the one on a Friday night. I used to drink a lot, then I had to go teetotal for 5 years due to meds and its permanently wiped out my inbuilt tolerance.

Twitter is getting all excited as usual, speculating that he might be dead allready.I guess we'll soon find out ! Predictably enough there are the usual funny tweets.I like this one .. https://twitter.com/Muh_Sadam/status/1252447635966844928

Don’t hold back LFN

South Korea says nothing unusual about his health

Another update:

If you can get the junk food. Harry Gow's Dream Rings aren't always available I don't think your BMI sounds over. I got absolute telt when mine got down to 16 but I'm likely smaller so about right I'd say. I know it sounds obvious but might you get exhausted enough to sleep semi upright perhaps? And keep with the fluids and the vitamin D (difficult if you can't go out, I know) We're twenty years too young to be interested in the medical issues of our friends, colleagues and acquaintances, but this is what this thing has done to us! And also can one of the admins please split this thread into notable victims and just non obitable Deathlisters etc please?

Sorry to hear that @the_engineer Few weeks. I keep thinking I'm better so I overdo it, then get booted all over again. I've never been so ill I can't walk two miles to the shop for more than one or two days. I smoked through pleurisy when I smoked and gave not one fuck. This is something else all right. It ain't man flu and it affects you XY people even more. I don't so much sleep as burn up and hallucinate with my eyes closed. I ate today for the first time in almost a week so all that doesn't help. Taste and smell like you say, you honestly can't be hooped but you should try. Coughing at night is shite. You never get the rest you really need. I think this IS the mild version though. Someone I know is likely dead within two days. So I think we're okay.

I think it is harder for "certain acts" (older artists, charity singles etc.) to get to #1 now. Reason being because the chart is not just based on just physical singles and digital downloads, it also includes streaming from services like Deezer or Spotify. Younger people use them A LOT and they sure as hell are not listening to Captain Tom Moore or Vera Lynn.

How long did yours take to clear up? I'm feeling alot better almost my old self taste and smell is coming back but still have a persistent cough That gets worse in the night.

Nobody, I'm social distancing.

It's an old Essex saying Lardy. I shall go back and change it to something more appropriate, ok? Edit: It is done.

HAHAH - getting mad over nothing - sheesh. Calm down. Within December 31st, 2020.

Didcot, I think. You could ring him up if you're cheeky enough. His phone number's on the tuition page.

Hello all, long time since my last post. I am working from home which requires me getting out of bed and moving to my sofa for the day in front of a laptop, in between essential work I get to have fab irreverent group video chats with my colleagues every day which often descend into the normal innuendo chats we would have in the office. My boss described them last week as 'mental health therapy' and they really are, laughter is often the best medicine. I have been at home now since March 12th - yes we worked out early that staying at home was the best idea, sometime before Boris did. Boredom is still a factor and when not working I can be seen stalking the dog that lives across the road from my windows - I lost my own dog in December to heart failure- and playing computer games. Steam and Big Fish Games have been my solace these days. Stay safe folks and now I have finally found out how to log in here again I may well be around a bit more :-)

It's going to be an exciting campaign this year, with two septuagenarians battling each other for who meets the most people

She was also the Chief of Clan Sutherland, a role that her son now resumes. There are very few female clan chiefs in Scotland I believe. Her death also means Prince Philip now enters the top 3 oldest hereditary peers.
