Think it's highly likely we Brits will lose Philip and or Queen this year. But the main thing probably will be the recession. And that will hit me next year with local government in UK on its knees.

Stay strong as you can be, we're all sending virtual hugs to you.

All Cath Kitson shops to close. Never seen the appeal as a fella, but my female colleagues are sad apparently.

I have a long love hate relationship with alcohol. My best mate and flatmate sat me down this week and had a strong word in my ear as my alcohol use was climbing again. Its partly down to a shit situation with work and having my anxiety BPD roaring through this last 4 weeks. Not helped by Lack of PPE, and being caught in a couple of manager's gunfight for control during the lockdown. In simple terms, we are keyworkers with nothing to do and they dont want us sat at home. So I've been out in the general public doing very unappreciated tasks. Very stressful. So I admit it's been a bottle of wine most nights during the lockdown. But late last night I was informed I'm going back to my normal job from Tuesday which can restart safely. This removed the stress totally, I'm happy back with my team, and I can relax knowing I'll be making a difference with a purpose. Today I'll buy Vimto my normal drink of choice and normality will return.

Friends Mum passed away this morning from coronavirus. Getting a bit close for comfort..

Safe to say Twatter has gone a little mad. There's always a low point during any conflict (war normally but you get my drift) when the country turns on the Government. Today seems to be that day.

Glad to hear this mate, fingers crossed for a speedy return to normality.

Stay safe mate hopefully you'll recover quickly and IF it's the virus itll be mild.

Well that's a part of my childhood gone with Tim.

Well the 20s seem to be going so Nobby again.

Well I'm still working, but my normal job is 95% defunct, so been diverted to Highways. Weirdly enough, it feels pretty safe being in a van alone all day checking for defects and having very limited contact with the public. What I'm finding the most annoying is the staff working from home have turned into the worst keyboard warriors. Do this, do that without the basic knowledge of the stuff we are having to face, not least the prospect of going out into the community and thinking could this be the day I catch it. It didn't help matters that my employer declared us all keyworkers, but got caught out as the 750k volunteers came forward for Boris. Now it's a case of work or we'll furlough you and that may affect your pension..... Once this is over, I fear for the fights and battles ahead, as management arent coming through this well compared us lot just getting on with the job.

Nobby Styles. Which means it wont be him given my luck.

Sorry if it's been posted before...

Given my flatmate who is watching a Golden Girls marathon with me ( heck anything is more cheerful than the news) was stunned when I corrected him that they'd not all passed away. Good olde Betty White gawd love her.

Well this aged...badly. Currently Zakynthos is with the rest of Greece on a fortnight lock down. They've had 1 death from Corona following a pilgrimage from Israel. 8 weeks to go, but let's be fair, I think we can forget it.

Has he had a stroke?? Looks like it to me.

Prescription charges in England. Scotland, Wales they're free. Here its nearly £10 a pop. Yes I have a prepayment system but it's a extra tax which doesn't seem all that fair on us in England.

Via connections Nadine Dorries to Boris Johnson to Prince Charles to Prince Phillip......

Or do what I did at work. Put a sign up saying infected with unknown virus. Then refusing to go home

Whilst yes its worrying, if you have a normal immune system then you should be able to fight this off speaking to a GP friend of mine. Mind you, theres a nasty cold/cough doing the rounds here at the moment which I caught over the weekend and is now developing nicely on my chest via a hacking cough. Unless that Chinese student who coughed over me by the University last Thursday wasnt in the clear!

I need some new shoes Imelda..

We seem to clearing the top 5 rather well so Prince Philip for me

Agree Kirk was like Zsa Zsa to us long term Deathlisters. Hes just been here for that long. Sad day....

As a Corrie fan, he was a fine actor during the late 60s until he left in 1978. The reintroduction of Ray in 2005 was a time when bringing a character back just worked and his scenes with Anne Kirkbride and Bill Roache were excellent.

Agree. It's got all the hallmarks of an abusive relationship with our Megan. Trouble is, her old man isn't playing ball, what with the interviews it's all coming across as rather sordid now. I guess the mess Andrew is in is deflecting matters slightly, but with a pending court case for all, itll come back into focus. But like I said before, loose respect of the relatives of the other half and you've got to be pretty cast iron solid to survive.
