Coronavirus: Please use this thread for all COVID19 talk!

Do they do those maxibon things still I like them.

 

Never heard of them .

 

Good luck, Beddy! I’m kind of wishing now that I’d stayed out in the game reserve, where I was totally safe and busy. Now I’m bored rigid waiting to hear about flights and noticing that any that ‘might’ be on are in the region of £1500 from Johannesburg.
Incidentally, BA 56 flew out to LHR at 0900 this morning ..... seems to be a regular thing and **** the poor bastards who are stuck in limbo here ........

 

The dogs nuts

 

OMG. I want.

 

I'm not usually a chocolate fan but these are the one. Pricey but worth it.

 

No more ice cream talk on here please chaps

 

Hopefully we might get some answers......
I understand this will touch on politics but definitely connected to covid 19

 

Last April 8,000 care home deaths were recorded, this April deaths recorded 26,000.

 

Mate fully understand.........we’ve had to get our visas extended. Which is a costly business. Ok they have done a temporary one but have been waiting to have a medical at a Bupa appointment as per there instructions for 6 weeks. It came through the other day June 26th!!!! We were due to fly home before then until our 5th flight got cancelled. (So the £400 odd pound we have paid out has gone to waste yet again) Also still waiting for two of the flights home to be refunded. Add to that we have had to pay out yet again for the latest fares the whole thing is a bloody nightmare.

 

Which represents more than 5% of the total care home population. Absolutely shocking.

 

Visa extension is a bit of a nightmare everywhere. Here they tacked on two months of time to everyone’s visas about a month ago but that only really helps people with permanent residency. People who are stuck here on tourist or visit visas now lack the documentation to access key services. We’re under full curfew now and you need to book appointments to visit grocery stores. It’s a good system apart from a few areas which are struggling with demand, but you can’t access it at all without a full visa or residency. There’s going to be around a hundred thousand people relying on local charities and the red crescent until the government and embassies can locate everyone and plug the gaps.

 

We’re doomed. I counted 35 getting off this bus, and I don’t know if some had already got off before I started the count.

 

Not tempted to stay there until this all blows over then? I would be (although it looks like we might actually get a summer in England this year).

 

People were queuing for 2 hours at my local garden centre today.

**** doing that. Going to try again next week.

 

Look guys the country is overpopulated and needs to get down to about 16 million for us to be self sufficient post Brexit. The current government policy is clearly aimed at getting the population down to a sustainable level.

 

NO the world is . Thank you very much Mother Fing Theresa etc !

 

The reply should be "Yes the world is as well". You keep fighting Johnson's corner if you like but he is now a dead man walking.

 

Losing 5% of the care home residents in the UK in a single month is a fairly unique achievement for a Prime Minister it’s true.

 

We were Archers.........but then they closed the borders and the international airport in Brisbane. It was expected to open again on first of June But the last airline we booked And all the others cancelled out. Even the domestic flights are running down our only other alternative...... non would guarantee a booking in June to an international airport . We couldn’t afford to stay out here indefinitely although we had thought of doing so.
