He's 77 I'm not sure everyone is desperate to see him back, what about all that hot young 50 something talent waiting for him to vacate the sofa?

Well the first thread I have ever started made the second page so I haven’t had to suffer the shame of it being closed down or merged - I can die happy.

Sadly Norway has its 4th death. We are shut down. Most of us are working from home. The shit will hit the fan soon. Keep safe there in Danmark. I have a niece and her family there. Worried. Edit: 2 more deaths for a total of 6. (3 New today, Wednesday 18. March)

Joy Division - "Isolation"

Good morning! Today is Wednesday March 18th! We start our day in Norway with 1471 cases. No new deaths - many of the current victims had been in either Italy or Austria skiing, and they are for the most part younger 20-50 years old. Hopefully our elderly have dodged the bullit, for a while anyway. 11:30 a.m. Our 4th death has been reported. Almost 5 p.m. Two more deaths today, for a total of 6. 1550 cases so far. Almost 9 p.m. We now have 1572 cases. 22 more than 4 hours ago. We have a relatively small population, about the same population as Hamburg, Germany. Now there are 1584 cases just 1 hour later. Good night!

There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all This is the moment that song was written for

First time in 1st, hopefully can stick around. Also considered Voners for Cup this month, but didn't expect an English QO, seems I was right in assuming so.

I went to the pub anyway...'twas very quiet

I'd settle for Tom Smith atm!

How long do we think it is before they implement the italian/french/spanish system of fining people for going outside? That's not something I ever thought I'd expect to see implemented in the UK short of an actual war, but it seems almost inevitable it will happen now.

I agree, we can all laugh about having to buy the Sun to make up for the lack of loo roll (for a week at least) but at some point somebody somewhere (probably some idiot youtuber doing it for a 'prank') is going to start online rumours about a lack of basic foodstuffs, which will quickly go viral (pun intended) followed by (even more) stockpiling and we could be looking at food riots within a month.

We're going to be OK. We need to keep the faith, stay strong, do the right things and we'll get through this. I predict a roaring 2020s with a healthier and happier society. We cannot be ruled by fear!

I am rooting for Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, whom I have in a death pool elsewhere.

100% the internet will help. We'll see gangs in areas rise up without doubt a d try to gain local control in certain areas . The most likely gangs are Islamic ones and no I'm not being Racist.They have a separate unity and religious zealots tend to rise up during times like this, especially pandemics and yes I do believe Christian groups will rise up too.

Think it's incredibly likely if we have to go into lockdown like say France. I'm watching them, Italy and Spain closely for the first signs of civil unrest as it might spark here - there's a balance between saving life and not making those who survives lives completely unworthy of living. There's only so long you can sustain a population in stasis like that before you get open rebellion, and whilst the government are doing their best to rescue the hospitality industry the economic and financial pressure is obvious - the employment support needs to be out asap or at least a restriction on that business loan that it should be used to pay rent and then staff in that order. Imagine if this had been prior to the internet and such instructions as 'stay at home for 14 weeks where possible' were being bandied about. The internet may help a lot of people through this in a weird way.

Apparently we shouldn’t go to the pub so instead I’ve panic-bought some Guinness from the horrendous Hunger Games reminiscent melee that is Tesco. Slarncha.
