Please don’t offend the smiley community by placing them at the end of posts that are designed to inflame 😡

Trump extending the ban on flights to the U.K. now as well.

There probably won’t be any airlines left anyway once the restrictions are lifted again

When do they usually send the email out regarding payment week?

But think of the improvement in air quality, us asthmatics need all the help we can get in the current climate...

I’m very sorry. I was trying to be lighthearted by calling someone a silly duck but I’m afraid I got it badly wrong

In response to another comment I do not believe if the festival goes ahead that people will want to eat batch cooked fudge of unknown origin made by a festival participant so for now I will be putting fudge cooking operations on temporary halt awaiting further news

I do have 12x Cadbury’s creme eggs at home that I don’t need for Easter so if anyone wants one let me know

once again very sorry about everything and hope a smiley is now ok?  

Laughing in people’s faces ? I can’t work out if you are a troll or a decent person but like I’ve said already on here ... have a think about what people are going through and about to go through ... whatever your thoughts might be on the festival happening there’s a courteous way of expressing everything thanks

Ah Jesus, now I really want a Cadbury's Creme Egg. I wonder if they're still in the shops or whether anyone has panic bought them all?

I wouldn't call it panic buying but I certainly added a couple or 3 of multipacks to my rations cupboard. And a pack of Freddos. Chocolate is important to my mental well-being.

i'm going to pick up a cheap Orbital ticket for tonight in London. There are a lot of people complaining on the Facebook page that it should be cancelled. Is it irresponsible to attend, as is being suggested? By the sound of it, there will be about five other people there, and it didn't feel wrong when I went out and attended a gig in a pub last night (about 30 people there).

Go, if its your last gig you dance to your death. Happened here on Weds, Tame Impala had an arena gig and it was sold out. The venue posted the schedule and tons of people saying it should be called off. Little did they know the large gatherings ban would happen later that evening so you would be grateful to have gone to something.

Too late I’ve cleared out every single one.

Trump live now. He’s banging on about the stock market.

Not seen it but he does seem to be all about the economic impact and not so much the compassion and life saving .. I wish Obama could be installed as a caretaker president.

It wasn't the silly duck part that pissed people off.

Two people that I know (they are completely independant of each other) have recently bought rather large quntities of food, everything from staples to snacks and treats. They are both complete stoners and have both ransacked their supplies of snacks and treats over the last couple of days.

Do you have any more info on pasta supply lines? Or even the best time to go in to buy some? I’m fully prepared to go on a 3am fusilli hunt.

We had lots of  5kg bags delivered one day ... maybe wed .they went in a day .. but have only had small quantities since ... it will depend on depots and how much they get in ... the thing being now that although we might have enough toilet paper or maybe pasta  in a depot only so much can fit on lorries ... we could restock the toilet paper for example but that might have to be at the expense of something else ... worth trying fresh pasta or being there for opening time on a sun 9.30 for ours for 10am opening or if not 24hr whatever time they open on mon gives best chance ... nights have got incredibly busy so that might not work

@crazyfool1 my local asda hasn’t had any pasta for over a week. Not even fresh or gluten free.  I’m not even wanting to stockpile I’m just a crap cook and pasta is what I pretty much live on 😂

I have managed to sort the toilet roll situation though. I should be good for the next few months.

My last one was third week March with a reminder sent later. As payment week begins 1 April GFL will be forced into a fresh statement soon as the crisis escalates.

Likewise I really didn’t want a 24 pack !! Different depots you are in Leeds aren’t u ? I reckon those times stated  will be best chances ... if the store is open things just aren’t lasting long at the moment for amounts coming off the wagons  ... I’m sure it will change but I did think that it would have done by now ... at first I thought it odd this hording but it’s an unfortunate result of media and I’ve become more accepting of it as a human response

Cancelled according to a source.

Make your own pasta? Youll have time to learn how to do it, plenty of youtube videos on it. Eggs, flour and oil is all you need. Seriously, its cheaper and you can control your portions better that way

Had a ton of those happen with Coachella last weekend. Everyone saying they had a source it was outright cancelled, yet they didnt pick up on the fact that it all changed overnight from Sunday to Monday. Some whispers of a potential October postponement which played out in my favor by booking hotels at a much better rate before it was finally confirmed and prices skyrocketed.

Slightly off topic but would appreciate it: anyone used Ticketswap? Is it safe? About to get an orbital ticket for tonight. Ta!

 yes, had some great deals in the past - the service is absolutely legit.

But please - do yourself, the society and especially the health system a huge favor and don't go to the gig.

It's not about you catching the virus; as you might know, most of people (around 80%) are able to deal with COVID-19 like with a flu.

So it's more about having the virus without knowing and spreading it amongst other people... who will pass it on to the risk groups.

If you don't already know about this text, you might read it in order to understand, why we all have to act this way.

The more and the earlier people act, the greater is the possibility to flatten the curve (see point 3 in the text) - and the more likely glastonbury will take place.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a teacher, but I had a similar mindset just a few days ago. It has now changed completely and I would rather stay at home than take the risk of being partly responsible for a collapse of the national health system.

Peace out from Germany.
