Coronavirus

good luck

my brother in laws been laid off (contracting) for a bit until this blows over and the company can get back onto its feet (this is the thing with contracting and people who think its safe and steady). you can get laid off and get no notice. Unfortunately for him and my sister, they bought a house that they can barely afford so i'm expecting a call in a month or two to help out financially if he doesn't get his job back anytime soon.

 

Sheesh, I'll be eating those carrot chips at the back of the freezer, that seemed like a good idea when I bought them two years ago, before all this is out. With the Frey Bentos tinned steak and kidney pie in the larder that is so old that the rim is rusting. Probably kill off the Covid-19.

 

@PISKIE had the text convo and it went like this

Me: What’s this I’m hearing about you Tory ****s not helping their customers by freezing mortgages in this time of despair for all?

Ex: It’s not true, only yesterday we announced that we are freeing up 5 billion to help our customers and that includes mortgages

Me: Cool, I’ll tell him to chase it up properly then...might be back in touch

Ex: Ok

 

I’ve stocked up on protein powder if the whole country falls apart.

 

Indeed. I have some Complan left over from when I had radiotherapy last year. Vile, vile stuff - but it'll taste like ****ing ambrosia in a few months time after I've ate the dog, I'm sure (If he doesn't eat me first).

 

as much as i like to believe that nev, i honestly believe, it will only affect a few people. at the end of the day, a lot of consumers in the UK will still go for the cheapest/best quality so unless competitors are offering the same, i do not think ****ty service will be affecting a huge amount of people imo

 

Piskie is supposed to be the community co-ordinator, I hope he does better at that, than sorting his own organisation

Piskie....here's your bread
Elderly... I wanted bog roll
Piskie...beggers can't be choosers

 

Whatever it takes to stop us eating the rich.

 

Most customers i came across as a checkout assistant were nice. saying that i was from a small town of about 10,000 and surrounding villages so i guess people were nicer and more friendly

 

I imagine tomorrow will be something like..

Day 1.

Ate Snickers and played Assassin's Creed until my eyes bleed.

 

The Eurovision has gone now!

Life is ending as we know it!!!!

 

How many villages did you surround? ...

 

Schools closing Friday as well, time to batten down the hatches!

I'm carrying on working, **** that ****.

 

Wow Fosse I never knew you had such a big interest in village people?

 

Cheers.

All the best to you and your brother. Definitely a time for sticking together as best we can.

Similar to one of my mates.

I visited his 2 week old child on Monday and he's just finished doing up his new house so he's basically spunked all his money. He works for British Airways as an engineer and he's been told to come in next week to see if he's one of the workforce to be laid off. He been told to stay at home atm.

Grim.

 

Neither did I Cowboy ... Go West
