Off Topic Coronavirus - 606 tales from the Inquiry

I lay in bed until 11am.

Now off to dispense some cash to the local catering community.

 

I’m doubling up on teabags to get a bit of flavour out of the co ops own brand - can’t beat Yorkshire though

 

The Chinese doctor who tried to warn the authorities of a new Sarrs-like virus last December has had his reprimand posthumously removed from his record.

I'm more Twinings, the English Breakfast ones.

 

Eating from the pavements? Ffs

 

today i did something i didnt know i'd have the strength to do. the wife came down and couldnt believe i had done it (or got through actually)....
