    PS And one of those was after being on a flight from Moscow next to a smelly coughing bloke.

      Kebab is a very persistent smell.

        Excellent poll - AndyW's mum option and an incorrect use of the apostrophe. Well done.

          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

            Whoa there!!! Are you suggesting that being exiled to Swindon *isn't* a fate worse than death?

              It would be a lot better if Dim carked it.

                Probably won't be good for me but then I am fit so maybe the body might fight it off.

                When I get colds it tends to morph into chest infections which in turn triggers my asthma so who knows what this virus will do to me.

                I've had full blown flu and it put me in bed for 5 days. 2 recent asthma attacks should have put me in hospital but docs managed to keep me out purely because I have to look after the wife, and me going into hospital would have put her there too (or a care home) and no one really wanted that to happen.

                I cycle 4-5 times a week. Strong heart. Low resting HR. Never smoked. Muscular and fit/healthy. Come on covid-19 ... bring it ON
                I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

                  Funnily enough, he said exactly the same thing...

                  His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                    This. Was very ill for about 48 hours. Fever, hallucinations everything hurt, and then rough as a badger for about 2 weeks afterwards.

                      Exposure to Swindon lies somewhere in the gap between brain death and biological death.
