    Better convince the missus you'd rather go out with a bang if you start feeling it's got you.

    I wonder if they offer that on the NHS.
    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

      Why do you think I keep the key to the gun cabinet safely out of reach?

      If I so much as sneezed she'd be reaching for a Webley!

          All flights should be grounded globally to prevent further spread. It's borderline negligence to allow them to ocntinue.

            That wasn't the kind of 'bang' I was referring to, but as a plan B it's not a bad one.

            Pneumonia has got to be one of the worst ways to go. Just be sure it's not manflu and check-out prematurely like the twist at the end of The Mist.

              I only wear mask when with Andy W's mother.
              Also wear a condom.

                More like putting money before health. I bet the elite are safely in the mansions watching it play out hoping some of the plebs survive to bring them their food. In the meantime living off their land on pheasants and other game.

                Some of us may also be doing that, if they spent their contracting income wisely and didn't spunk it on fast cars, faster women (or men, there are some on here that prefer 'the cock', as that geordie sally gal used to say, oh for the good old days when three letter acronyms went beyond AtW and his squirrel fetish ), and buying experiences over assets.

                Edit: Talking of geordies, first two cases in UK are now in Newcastle, though apparently taken there overnight so no word on where the virus may be spreading in the meantime if the sufferers originated elsewhere in the UK.

                  Good point - I think I'm going to have to lay off the habit for the next few weeks. I've already got a cough, and promiscuous gay men are excellent vectors for spreading disease.

                  My parents are also worried about me taking a flight anywhere due to the infection risk.

                  i.e. I'm grounded

                  In the mean time I think I'll listen to some music..

                      I'd have thought Gloria Gaynor "I will Survive" would be more your kind of thing... Along with "YMCA", "In the Navy", you know, that kind of thing...
